EF turbo daily work hack

This is my ef daily started life as a higher than average stocker. I chucked my 17's on it and a set of super lows all around. After a couple of months driving I done a head gasket and had a freak incident where a rock busted the front of my sump. The only other sump I had laying around had an oil drain for turbo, so I figured I may as well turbo the old girl. So here we are, after two weekends of work. The first weekend was dropping k-frame (never ever again) fitted sump and fitted the turbo setup non intercooler. The second weekend was fitting fmic, fuel system and battery relocation. I've been driving it like this for about a year as a daily now. It runs a t04z with steam pipe manifold and 50mm external gate, intank 040 fuel pump and a vortech 12:1 reg.

Wow I love it, you have done a great job I have admired all your cars on MPV all very nice cars you have owned and you have put alot of hard work into them, keep up the good work

Thanks at the moment I have the motor out of this one! It is being replaced by a built 4.0l with 040" forged pistons, spool con rods, crank girdle for strength, ported head with bigger valves and angry cam, crow vernier cam gear, Mls head gasket and arp bolt set. Then in the new year it will be getting my new garrett gt4094r turbo and six boost manifold.

That's awesome, I can't wait to see the finished project Alot of hard work and time has gone into it, Sounds like you love your turbo's, have you had any N/A cars??

I did have a couple when I was younger lol. I have never had a std car though! My mate and I do a lot of turbo cars for ourself and others for something to do, and a bit of extra $$ here and there. I might post some pics of our other vl's and his r33 skyline that we are also working on at the moment.

Awesome, wow what an amazing women you are Would love to see them all, can't wait

I am a male but thanks all the same :-)

OMG sorry I thought you were a female, I feel bad I appoligise

Haha well my fiancé helps with the cars as do our three little terrors so there is some female input into them :-)

That's why I thought was her, this is Bren Manda??? isnt it??

Yep I'm brendon and I share a FB page with my better half amanda :-)

Awesome, now I know who you guys are I am Holly Latham I run numurous groups on FB

Just purchased a complete nolathane bush kit and all new nolathane upper and lower control arms, I also have el leather interior sitting here that I think will end up in it soon too!

Awesome, I have just about my whole front end noloathaned now

I have also just thrown together another LSD in the spare housing I have. I have put a set of 3.45:1 gears in out of one of my old spare vl diffs. The 3.08.1 was making her just a bit to sluggish off the line, the new gears should see her launching pretty well.

are they interchangeable are they??? you are talking about your EF still right? lol Sorry Miss EB here is confussed haha

Yep for the ef! The diff centres are the same they are a Borg Warner 78! I just used the crown wheel on my LSD centre and the pinion from the vl diff. Easy :-)

ohhh wow thats interesting, I just learnt something

ahh this is the rig I comented on the fb group nice to see your on here:D  

Beutiful ride isnt it , Brendan meet Rod, Rod is a mate of mine

Ok cool nice to meet you rod, I should have some new pics up in the next few weeks. The motor is out at the moment. The engine bay "should" look a lot better once it's all back together. Just waiting on the electroplaters to send some chromed parts back to me.

oohhh shiny bits !!! I like shiny bits lol. look forward to seeing some more of this and learning a thing or 2

Awesome mate, look forward to seeing it... you guys are the only guys I post regularly too on here, Thanks for you time, your great mates of mine I have alot of respect for both of you I look up to you both, you inspire me

Thanks holly your input is also greatly appreciated, and I class you as a mate also I am only chroming a few bolts so won't be overly shiny! I have redone another rocker cover in the same blue, painted all the brackets and braces gloss black and the inlet manifold has been painted. All the hold down bolts for the painted parts will be chromed! Hopefully it will turn out alright.

Thanks mate, I am young women like you yourself a young bloke and I am still learning the ropes so to get tips and learn something off you and Rod its awesome, I really enjoy it... having a partner that also loves cars we have alot of fun. He helps me with my car and i am helping him spruse up his vs commo
