Finally Gotten around to starting my Diy RHD Twin Turbo Build.

Posting it all up to my Youtube Channel as i'm **** at typing stuff out

I've already done 2 fuel system mod vids, but this is the first proper start of the Twin Turbo Build.

Hope some of you guys find it helpful.

Cheers.

Fantastic start, looking forward how this build turns out! You definitely got the proper tools and equipment to do it. Very jealous of your lift by the way... I'll probably never go twin turbo on my car. Went the nitrous route after doing pretty much everything else. Subscribing to your channel now.

The VQ37 can be tight and complicated when trying to twin turbo hence why those that sell these kits want an arm and leg for them. Amazing fabrication skills mate.

Cheers Guys, definitely not a Diy for the first timer this one, I agree totally, to have developed a bolt in kit for this platform would have taken a whole lot of R&D time.
Which of course needs to be recouped via their kit prices. Diy-ing it has been a whole heap of fun though & fortunately ending with a satisfactory outcome.
It was tuned the other day & put down 500 at the wheels @9.5psi on a hub dyno running 200 cell cats etc. It builds boost almost instantly & is a blast to drive.
Plenty of head room to turn it up in the future once i'm confident in myself & the mechanical limitations of the vehicle.
It is after all only a street car for me, as i'm not a racer of any kind.

Glad it all worked out and nice numbers. Is it odd that I can hear the accent when reading the post. Thanks for showing the part numbers in your videos, that's something that is not done too often and can be a HUGE help. Definitely gained a fan of The Aussie Shed here!

Amazing that you're putting that power with CATs, while I watched the first 4 videos I asked myself if Australian children are thought R&D and fabrication in kindergarten because the automotive industry in the land down under seems to be insane and always ahead. Especially in the performance section. I enjoyed this process and fascinated by the results! Well done Mate!
