Looking good.
Do you have the original bearing that was replaced ?
I need one or both. Thanks.
Can pick up at Wakefield Park if that suits you.

I got the engine running today. I had a couple of issues that were solved by beer and I'll be doing some more tweaks and testing tomorrow. I'm thinking that I should do a quick dyno run to check it is all ok as I don't have enough time to test the car on the track before mr2wpc. I'll then get a wheel alignment and it will be ready to rock. Fingers crossed for a cool couple of days!

I'll only be able to test on the dyno, unfortunately. I have changed the suspension which won't be tested before the event. The engine should be fine.

Great numbers!
Do you have a printout of the dyno chart? And do you know what peak torque was?

I've decided what I am going to buy for my turbo upgrade - I have learnt how to read compressor maps and can see that the GT3071R is too big for a 3SGTE. It is barely OK for a 5SGTE. The 2871 will work nicely and easily provide me with 300kW at the wheels. Please let me know your thoughts!

I agree with the GTX 3071 being too big for your engine as mine was too laggy for WP. Maybe a .67 housing may help as well as small port exhaust manifold could resolve it. As for the plumbing, you really need to go with custom fittings as you will destroy anything you fit directly to the turbo. Having extensions on the plumbing (water/oil) will help a lot with workshop time. I have added a photo of what was done to my 3SGTE. Also have a stainless steel drain pipe as I had done. The braided line perished. This was the oil problem with the car at MTC in 2013.
