Looks great, I agree with cleaning up the turbo. That is the main thing people are going to notice, you want it to look as beautiful as the rest of the engine!

freakintiger · Aug 24, 2005

Wow, I like that red; great looking motor!

4bangen · Aug 25, 2005

thanks yall,ya the center shaft on the turbo turns out to be broken so It will need a full rebuild.I gess I will be learning how to rebuild a turbo soon!
the motor that you see here will have a t3 on it the holset will go on the other motor in my coupe I just couldnt resist putting the monster on this one to see what it looks like.dang its big!
right know everythings back on hold due to the fact that I just bought an airplane ticket to go pick up my buick. That thing my get the holset after all .

4bangen, I like the color you have on the pulleys, timing belt cover and p/s pump bracket. Is that Eastwood's Detail Grey or something else. Manufacturer, color and where to buy it, please sir. Much appreciated!

Put the Holset on whatever's going into the red '89 'vert! I've got one too!

evintho

thanks for the kind words. Its matalic grafite wheel paint I belive. or It might be charcloe. Ill have to double check. I will be clear coating all the brackets and pullies and stuff this weekend. I still have to paint the intake as well. Im going to put the t3 on the vert due to the fact that I dont think my a/c will fit if I use the holset. and in texas in augist when its 102 outside with out a breeze I want to be able to use the a/c. Call me crazy but I dont see suffering a heat stroke at a redlight being so fun. ill keep yall up to date on my progress.

No, not planning on that, its not even going on that motor. that motor is getting a stock turbo the other one I have(still sitting in peaces) is getting that turbo. Oh Mike by the way, in your tinkering and such have you come across the price of a rebuild kit for the holset?

Mike SVOR · Sep 9, 2005

I haven't seen a rebuild kit lately. There are a bunch of places that will rebuild it for you though.
