Hi Everyone, Its my first car i have posted on here but i thought it is time!
I joined this forum when i bought my first ae86 about 5 or 6 years ago, some of you may remeber it,
It was white, had a 18rg fuel injected engine in it, it was different!
I sold it and i last i remeber it had a Trueno front fitted to it then a CA18 in it, then an SR?? If anyone knows id
Love to hear haha, i think it was the only Sprinter in aus with a 18rg in it possibly??
Anyway, Current Car is a corona. I bought it dead stock off a friend from work, I toy around with welding and
fab like alot of you guys do thought id have a crack at a turbo!
I Plan to fit a lsd and have some 15x8 rims ordered for it, i love the shape, I love reading Marv's blog, gives
me inspiration for my build, good looks,,,,,hopefully!

It is running 7psi, straight wastegate, no boost controller, all i have done is upped the fuel pressure and a new fuel pump. It flys, 10 times better then before! Its still no complete missile but it is very suprising, the engine has 316000km on it, does not use oil or water and i boost it everywhere. Old Toyota's....need i say more? haha
I'll get full shots when i get my camera off my brother!
good to see another 22rte getting there...
mark's down here was win, stona kid is turboing his too i think
will be good to see some action shots/vids !
marks is now 422rwkw 2jz
stoner kid has his old 22re+t set up
good for over 200rwkw

Nice! Good to someone actually doing a 22r turbo, would be something I would like to do to my celica
How did u up the fuel pressure. I had a turbo on my 22re for a day till the turbo blew. Was on 6 pound went good for just a shity ct20 turbo. Future plans is to Probs build one to handle more boost. Good luck in in rest of build
Some updated Pics.

Thanks Wagon86, at first was dodgy and just clamped return line to get it running quick, but now have a Adjustable FPR with a little gauge on it, i found it needed alot more fuel, until i had enough fuel it would backfire through the airbox and run poorly.
Keen to see some pics of your setup. Do you find the CT20 is to big or small for it? This is similar sized turbo to a T25?
Oh yeah . I've got a malsappi rising rate fuel pressure thin from a previous project .might work. Umm I'd say that the t25 would be better. The ct20 is just a little to all. Spools quick but dies high revs. Probs gonna make an adapter plate to fit a t28.
