sadly my current turbos are of the budget variety, i was using a nice 60-1 turbonetics unit on the rotary, but this project is so expensive i had to get something i could afford at first, they are 57mm compressors, 52mm turbines, .63ar hot sides.
im not asking much out of them so they should behave, and if they dont, i can put garret cartridges in place of the current ones once i recover from the bleeding and have more money.
i did the internal gates because i HATE open dump gates and plumbing a set of externals into the down pipes would make this nightmare of a space problem unbearable lol internals makes it easy and keeps it quiet
i did not stud the engine no, i see no reason to for what i am asking of it, i used stock gaskets, many 1uz have gone in the 10s on unopened high mile blocks, i did use new head bolts and upgraded the springs slightly since i wanted to replace them anyway, didnt cost anything extra to get better ones. i think it upped the seat pressure from like 48lbs to 73lbs if memory serves..somewhere around that.
and i am not looking to go 10s, its just a pump gas fun car. so hopefully it will be ok, otherwise as time goes by i will prep another long block, but building a 1uz with all the goodies in it will run you around $3500 in parts, and that is before you upgrade the cams and the work needed to complete the setup of them, its too expensive, at that point i would just buy an ls2
