Originally planned to use this on a Honda drag car but being unemployed I need to sell off cash to help with the recession blah blah blah. Thought I would chuck it up here as well.
Will be good for anybody running a 1/2JZ, 1UZ, Nissanshitbox, or any other big displacement V8 wanting more power.
Good for 35odd psi, and is rated to around 700hp
On 1.8 and 2L Honda 4CYL motors here and in the states it makes boost around 5500-6000rpm and holds it all the way to 9000 and can make up to 650whp. The VTEC motors have pretty good flowing head but a motor twice the size revving half as fast will still handle it.

The wastegate plumbing was an idea given to me by a friend who did the work, should in theory provide better boost control as exhausts vent in the same direction they are flowing rather then making a 90 degree turn as per most normal manifold wastegate positions.

All good mate 

Re: Garrett GT3540 with Tial 44mm wastegate
Can't help thinking this is a little bit like that other thread where the guy welded up his pinion to his crownwheel to "lock" his diff. i wonder why no one's bid on it? Only $2500 too!

Retail is a hell of a lot, you can get '3540's on trademe for like $500 or so but they are chinese, this is genuine hence the price.
Was going to put it on my 80 Series Cruiser but decided all the effort in modifying the engine, pump etc would just mean I would wait longer to wait for the Nissans to catch up
