look who drop by, my mentor Eddy G 

piping on the turbo side is basically done,just need to install the air filter

yes sir!

leak leak leak~

i been delaying the waterpump issue for a while,im pretty bored having to refill the water everytime i make a stop~this end now!

its either this (rm150) or a new set of waterpump that cost almost rm2k huhuh..after ordering the seal,have to wait about 2 week for it to arrived from japan..

taking a feel~lol

the aftermath,look at the things that need to be removed before he can pull out the waterpump

removing the seal ain't easy,as the thing is old and fall apart piece by piece~

my mechanic told me that the shaft is rusted,and this might not work as the waterpump can still leak,i told him to go for it. luckily everything turn okay,if not im considering to change it to a non-hydrolic waterpump~which gonna cost me more ka ching! $$$ hahahah

there goes half of my Saturday sitting at the workshop,but it was well worth it~

Part Two : Sugar, were goin down~

from "Part One : sound at the gate",the wastegate are already functioning but the problem with the unstable boost still occurred..after a few series of discussion with the mechanic, we conclude that i have wrongly marked the wastegate positioning..DUH~

Epic ~RnD went wrong ha ha ha..its not that i didnt do a research about it before,but like i said before not many 1jz owners wanna do this kinda thing,and i cant find a thing on this over the world wide web..


this is how it supposed to be done (excuse the stupid drawing,but thats the best that i can do LOL)by making a U shape pipe the air flow from both turbo should hold the boost pressure stable...

so now i still can drive the car,its just i cant full boost..thinking of redoing the whole thing back,but its 2 week more before Eid and workshop are getting busy with customers car..to add it up ,i noticed white smoke from the exhaust~a small sign of turbo is going to die again...and worst of all waterpump is leaking water slowy..price for a new set from weng hin?almost rm2k~ hahaha....

BUMMER!! maybe its the calling of single turbo~ha ha ha errrr Narf!
