Back on the beat - Phast's turbo SVX gets some love
Well after a year hiatus the SVX is back on the block with a list of projects to do. I am committed to get this SVX back in decent shape, if at least mechanically. Its a waste to have it act as it is. If any one has a lead on a decent right rear wheel hub with a good bearing I would be interested in purchasing it.
1) Rims - I got the rims I always wanted, Enkei Shoguns! Stock STi RE070 tires mounted. (see attached picture) 2) the authentic Garrett 360 thrust bearing 60-1 turbo/.84 A/R turbine is going in second week of june, fully stainless vband rig. Maf will be moved to the positive side. I am looking for a larger inter-cooler as well, but have not found one for the right price that will not require another few hours on a plasma cutter. 3) 5 psi Wastegate spring . 4) ordered new rotors and pads to go all around. I need New studs and lug nuts as well. any suggestions for the Shoguns? I remember them not fitting well with stock lug nuts and studs. 5)Need to order some swaybar bushings and probably a lot of other bushings(i can see the swaybar bushings hanging! Anyways, I have been working to read up, and want to get posting on a regular basis. Hopefully I have a lot of the maintenance taken care of so i can resume my quest for more power and decent times.

Re: Back on the beat - Phast's turbo SVX gets some love
If I am wrong somebody correct me so I don't missinform Phil--I don't think you can change the lug studs on an SVX without pulling the hubs. If the threads are just dirty you can run a die over them and lube them before installing the nuts. If i remember correcly it's 12x1.25

If you need the die I have it, you pay shipping. It really saved me.

Re: Back on the beat - Phast's turbo SVX gets some love
Thanks for the advice and offer. The threads are fine, I just was concerned with having more them two or three turns holding the lugs on the wheels. I suppose I will just have to focus on finding different lugs

Re: Back on the beat - Phast's turbo SVX gets some love
I have the 304L V-Band adapters and band which I will be tigging onto the turbo on wednesday. I came across some nice narrow acorn lugs which should grab as many threads as possible on the stock studs.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_2976wt_1356 More updates, (useful ones, not this i got the parts crap) will be on the way. On a side note I went wheelin' this weekend with my dad in his built CJ, and there was a lifted Loyale with 32's that was tearing it up pretty good! It is always good to see the suby roll over the hill with the big boys.

That's great Phast!!! I can't wait to see how yours turn out. My turbo project is moving slowly but is moving. I am hoping by summer's end putting 300 whp to the ground. Good luck bro.

Shoguns are my White Whale.
I've wanted them for YEARS now, but can never seem to get my hands on a set.

Phil-
The shoguns that I had required very odd lug nuts. I had to order them from the store where I bought the wheels. Mike

Re: Back on the beat - Phast's turbo SVX gets some love
I am hoping that these will grab enough threads to be safe. The key sits internal to turn the lug on a star pattern. What do yall think?
