vl turbo?

[nasty1]

sounds ok.the eng is a og turbo block anyways so thats a plus in your favour.

i would be starting it up on a cold start thoe so you can listen for noises etc and also when the car is cold on start up the oil seals in turbo have not yet expanded so you will see if the turbo seals are fine.

my old r33 used to piss out oil when it was cold 1st thing in the morning until it warmed up then it stopped blowing smoke.

up load some pics

not just bolting a turbo on to a stock block?

bearings and the rods are the same as the NA motor just the pistons are flat (not domed) to lower the compression over the NA motor

has better oil pump
diff cam, to stop a flat spot over mid range
intake manifold is diffrent,
besides that and the holes for the oil and water its the same
