Thanks for your sharing DENMAH. Amazing stuff you do. I'd be tempted to buy one of those updated BW turbo's but I'm glad your proving the china stuff.

Just watched a bunch of your vids. Good god you have a lot of energy! I find your lack of fear with putting metal shavings in your oil pan both liberating and scary. Your breaking the internet for sure!
BTW if you can suffer with 4.10 ratio rear you can swap a 9.5" from a 6.2 or 6.0 truck. I hate setting up gears. It is a lot better with the bed off though. Just did it on a Dana 70u in a dodge.

Hey denmah, what ever was the fate of the silver truck you guys did with the under mount and turbo 400 trans?
I see this is prob more of a "proper" build, but the silver truck was great haha.
Also I'm totally on board with the low gear, over the years I've followed these turbo builds, I've noticed a shift from "leave the stock gears!! Youll need them to load the turbo!!, To anybody who
changes them, it ends up being one of the best things they've done to the car.

yeah properly setup turbo and power band, with gears for what you are going to use the vehicle for = still winning

This one was cool because it got the drain out of the way from the crank pulley to boot.

Timing cover is another super easy location for an oil return if your turbos sit up high enough. Can do at the same time you do the cam swap without worrying about metal in the oil... Not that that little bit of metal is anything to worry about with a JY engine IMO.
