Hi everyone, I know you may have seen a few before but here is my turbo Vitara project. I've been at it for about 3 months now and decided to post my progress here.
I'll be updating pretty regularly so if you're interested, check back and see how it's goin.

This was taken mid 2006, it's when I relocated my charcoal canister. Fits in this space well and got the ugly thing out of my engine bay.

Mounted up a couple of 10" thermo's. I also hooked up an electric water pump, you can see in the pic that the mechanical water pump isn't driven anymore and I also took the impeller out of it aswell to avoid any restriction.

Mounted the intercooler much the same as the thermo's, the cooler itself is a great fit just behind the grill. I used swaybar bushes to allow a little movement.

Left as much room as possible to try and avoid heat soak.

Here is the manifold tacked up. I used buttweld fittings or 'steam pipe' to create the runners. A mate of mine owns a laser cutting business, he cut up the flanges for me.

Nearly finished. Now I know that there are probably a lot of people out there that could do a much better job, but for a first attempt, i'm pretty stoked with it.

A finished manifold, an Exedy clutch and a T25 turbo on a cute little zooky motor!

Won't stay cute for long I hope!

Here is the oil cooler on the right.

This is the zook just before I took the motor out, as you can see i've hacked up the bumper and grill to get as much airflow as possible.

I took the dash out to allow better access to the computer wiring and sort of got sidetracked by convincing myself into having a crack at trimming the dash. Most of the interior has the same black suede so hopefully it comes up good!

This pic was taken on the 07/01/2008. Its only bolted in, not much else attached as yet but i'm starting to get excited.

Big day today. Here i'd already done a few mods to the downpipe, but other than that it's a 3" stainless exhaust for a 180sx, minus the tail section with the cannon. However, that didn't last long.....

Now it's a 3" stainless exhaust to suit a Vitara. It's only tacked up, i'll be welding it up tomorrow.

I put the rad and intercooler back in and fitted the intake pipe. Starting to look pretty tough in there. This is the last pic from the 08/01/2008.
