Having already planned to up the capacity and spec to a 1.8L with a power target for daily use of around 600+bhp (aiming for 500-520whp on my Dynapack dyno SAE) I had (a few months prior) a JDM b18c block fitted with some heavy duty flanged liners and resurfacing. The block was sent away for diamond bore & hone to my desired PTW clearance and the ring manufacturers required surface condition & hone angle. With the best diamond honing surface preparation there is very little break-in/bed-in time needed. On the previous engine it was around ten minutes running on the dyno before being ready to have the rest of the map tuned.

A different turbo manifold was used in order to put the compressor side of the turbo on the passenger side of the vehicle. The air/water radiator I had was a garrett OEM piece and was badly damaged in the fender bender so I decided to buy a Garrett core 650hp intercooler and go Air to Air instead.

The GT35R turbo housings were water-blasted to bring its condition back to like new, the compressor had picked up a lot of muck over its miles of operation. The inlet on this unit is 4" diametre with a ported shroud to prevent compressor surge. Any performance car enthusiast or Racer who hasnt enjoyed a Garrett GTX_R or GT_R powered car is missing out on a treat! I believe theyre the best turbos on the market hands-down. 

From the smooth linear behaviour, easily modulated control through corners, low turbo lag and ultra fast spool response a Garrett GT series ball bearing turbo has to offer makes them stand out from the rest during general driving and racing conditions. not to mention the minimum expected service life of 120,000miles on them!

So back to the build everything was again meticulously cleaned out, again all new seals/o-rings/gaskets, new timing belt guides, A type-R sump since I didnt want to use my B16a sump/baffle/pickup setup.

Mounts and bracketary for the intercooler and oil cooler were fabricated, AC wiring was removed from the loom and additional items like heavy gauge wiring for the coolant fan, wiring for the boost controller, HIDs and wiring provision for the an oil cooler fan were incorperated. All old tape have to be removed and the loom was re-insulated after.

Some items were taken away for water blasting previously, This removes all engrained dirt from daily driving this machine and the finish left them looking like new!
