Thank you. It is a mechanical oil pump that is located at the back of the engine, and runs off the back of the RH camshaft. There is also an oil reservoir tank right off the turbocharger itself.
I take it the oil exit on the pump is on the camshaft? Very neat. 
Does this also take care of any oil breather issues? I see the oil resevoir has an extra port for something.

Absolutely superb project.
What kind of turbo is it?
Looking forward to some figures, videos and a dyno chart!

So what was the final power output after mapping?
Very interested to see a graph if you have one.

Top job OP
Thank you Top job OP
It is an AVO 18/49 turbo. Unfortunately, the new exhaust was delayed in getting across from the USA, so, in order to get the car back onto the road (i need it for work next week), the standard rear box has had to be fitted as a temporary measure. As soon as this is sorted, and the car is remapped with the large exhaust, I will get the necessary figures, videos and dyno chart sorted. It is currently running approx 270 bhp, against the original 285 target. The boost drops off over about 6500 rpm, due to the restrictive rear box.AmitG said:
I've become much more interested in the GT86 as a result of this thread. Great job OP and thanks for writing it up 
Great! Thank you for the kind words Luther Blisset said:

There is also an oil separator / breather tank as an option, which has been fitted to my car. This is attached to the near side diagonal strut brace (next to the battery).Does this also take care of any oil breather issues? I see the oil resevoir has an extra port for something.
The extra port on the oil reservoir is an oil breather line which is plumbed into a return which replaces the standard oil filler cap. This can be seen on the nearside of the oil filter in the top view photo I posted earlier.

It's all in the thread.
Think it's between £35 and £40k.
Holy sThink it's between £35 and £40k.
t. Loveley car but ill stick with the 17k fiesta lol
If this wasn't so, there would not be the incredible variety of makes and models of cars on the roads today that there are.As I posted earlier, I am changing (to me improving, to meet my very specific likes and desires) my GT 86 - the cost is not a consideration, only the grin factor
Its so nice to see people modifying (I think I spelt that wrong) new cars, the guy who did my wedding car bought his Commie GTS brand new and within 10km had driven to a local tuner and had all the exhaust replaced and remapped.
Stuff the warranty and make the car how you want it.
What are the plans for this car, track days/fast road/shows?

Having said that though, the Toyota Sprint Series does look like fun!!Tony Starks said:
Cool, Im sure it'll end up being Much more than you originally intended lol
I am afraid you are correct 
AP Racing Big Brake kit, uprated radiator, oil cooler, uprated fuel pump and possibly injectors to allow a safe 320 bhp. Uprated dampers. The list goes on...........................

Lovely car which addresses and rectifies all the issues of the standard car. The car will now be performing like a sports car should, and with the new wheels, also looks so much better then the standard car.
This is now definitely a car to be enjoyed on a daily basis.
Good work OP.
