Thank you! Will do!

I got same engine on my tezza, and to be honest I was looking to swap engine to a 1uz or 3z or maybe a 2jz vvti or 1jz vvti.. but is awesome how this 1g sounds.

[@glaylath880]

Mad video man. Used a lot of it as reference as I have been getting everything myself instead of using a kit so thanks a bunch. Only question though is when you removed the oil pan did you manage to find a gasket to put on or did you use rtv silicone around the oil pan?

[@BrianVibert1]

Thanks, glad to help. I used rtv to seal oil pan

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Little question, how do you do regarding the afr? Is it closed loop with the O2 wb sensor and the piggyback ECU ? Thanks

Hello small questions, I saw you blocked off the external wastegate, why not external? Is the 2j external wastegate position good or custom log type manifold is better?

[@BrianVibert1]

Didn't have the budget for external at the time. But will definitely look to upgrade in the future

[@ZachBambrick]

Mate need some help, need in-depth on how to get oil feed to turbo from the vvti what exactly did you do

[@BrianVibert1]

need to tap into engine oil feed to the same size an fitting you want. Run that to your turbo with the right fitting

Hi mate, just wondering what exhaust manifold have u used ? I can see it has custom flange but is it a 1g or 2j mani ? Thanks

[@BrianVibert1]

Hi buddy, it's a 2j manifold with custom 1G-FE flange welded. The external gate on the flange has been blocked off. Subscribe for support

[@MrAaronPage]

I’m in the middle of doing a turbo build myself. How did you deal with the wiring when it came to the two o2 sensors from the manifold? My downpipe only has one hole, did you just splice the two sets of wires into one sensor and that’s it? Or is there something else you did on the ecu wiring itself (other than the fuel cut defender being wired in) Thanks!

[@BrianVibert1]

Yes splice the two o2 sensors into one

[@BrianVibert1]

[@MrAaronPage]

Brian Vibert thanks mate! So there’s nothing to do with the wiring at the ecu? Literally just join the two sets of wires into one at the sensor?

[@BrianVibert1]

@@MrAaronPage Yes that is what I did. However, I had issues with the last sensor under the car in which I bought a emulator to solve this

[@MrAaronPage]

Brian Vibert ah ok, that’s the one that bolts into the centre section of the exhaust right?

[@batman3698]

Oof, RTV on the turbo flange? Seems like it would burn up almost immediently. But other than that its a cool build.

Been fine but thankyou

Hey Brian, I like your build man. I took the opportunity to upscale your video and I wanted to see if you want any help increasing video quality? I can send you a link to the unlisted video of yours that is upscaled. If you like It I can help you on some more videos, but they take long time to process but comes out looking pretty nice in 4k.

[@BrianVibert1]

Throttle bottle side is 2.5" and the intake for turbo is 3"

So the throttle side pipes and hoses are 63mm diameter? Im wondering which hoses to buy 63mm or bit biger 65mm

[@BrianVibert1]

@@TheMsPitero Yes 2.5" for throttle body side. Personally, I would go for the 2.5" (63mm) couplers as you will get a tight fit and no boost leaks. Helps to spray a little wd-40 to get couplers on

Brian Vibert thank you

[@ps3modder92]

Also, them magically appearing AN lines tho

[@BrianVibert1]

ha, well as mentioned in description I upgraded the lines to AN

[@verossavr3027]

why did you put a sealant under the turbine, there are 700 degrees, everything will burn and a leak will appear.

[@BrianVibert1]

RTV has a very high melting temperature, would not affect it. Reason I did use was because there was a small gas leak due to bad welding. I have now recently removed old t3 flange and welded a new one on

[@verossavr3027]

@@BrianVibert1 This is an ordinary silicone sealant, made in China, for the exhaust there are completely different sealants coming. After welding, the flange must be sanded, then no sealant is needed.15mm tube needed to drain

[@BrianVibert1]

Had no issues with the rtv, ran for 1 year and then I changed the t3 flange. All in all everything is updated from first install and safe. As mentioned its a working progress when it comes to budget builds pal. Cheers

[@nikrbawker]

Don't think that rtv can handle a turbos hot side even remotely. Been much better without it. Exhaust sealer would be a closer bet but that shit don't hold up either.

[@BrianVibert1]

It held up pretty fine for half a year. Decided to play it safe and change the manifold flange, welded a new one on with new gasket.

[@verossavr3027]

there is no oil cleaning on the oil supply bolt in the drive-in, all the dirt from the pan goes there directly bypassing the filter. the vvti valve has a fine mesh inside, under this bolt, and you have nothing.

[@BrianVibert1]

Vvti valve still has mesh. It is a tapped vvti bolt. Nothing is removed, only added with the oil supply
