Yeh most of it
I cut off the old plenum and made the new plenum and end caps to fit the L300 runners. i then had it tig welded together, i then finnished it off with a linisher and digrinder.
total volume of runners and plenum is 3.8 ltrs.

Hi Glen good to hear from you, I hope its all going well in Melborne. cant wait to see some pics of yours
Im glad you guys like it :)
the turbo is off a R32 Skyline its a T28. I made the exhaust manifold out off mandrel bends of steam pipe.
When the turbo $#&@ its self i will fit a HKS GT2530 turbo, the good thing about fitting Garrett turbos is that there so many options the will fit the exhaust manifold.
I cant wait to fit the new intercooler thats sitting on top of the engine.
What you you guys think if I took photos of fitting it and posted the as i progressed thru the project :?:

That engine looks insane - we have to meet up some time - i live down in Mandurah but im always up in perth - I know another guy in mandurah who has a Sapporo turbo and hes always into interesting conversions - im sure he could help you out.
I drive a white JA - dunno if uve seen me - i go to a lot of Jap car cruises.
