Project Thread 3.3ltr whipple into Ls400

[JustenGT8]

Same throttle i'm using...good for bulk power

Try Mal Wood ???
He helped me out big time..
Supplied twin plate clutch, TKO for my other project..
His kits are very good.. [if supported..]
Gives GOOD advice, knows his stuff...

The TKO is a 5 speed...
Imo blown engines this size require wider ratio's..

Madhouse LS400

Man this motor sounds HOT-HOT-HOT !!!!!! and yeah.... i reckon closer to 850HP not the piddling 500HP your talking about.....
One question though.... Why didn't you start with a UCF21.. 1998-2001 ???
... better car all round... better motor, better brakes, better suspension,
better 5 speed transmission, better interior (more of that beautiful walnut timber) better sound system... infact, better everything..... so I'm just curious...... ????

1998 LS400 with Torsen 2

Since I'm tired of one wheel drive and after months of trawling all the Lexus and V8 Toyota forums, the concensus is a Mk4 Supra TT auto or 5MT Torsen 2 will fit. I'll have to dissasemble the LS diff, remove the open diff case and replace it with the ball tear'in Torsen unit, use my standard gearing, re-assemble then get ready for some serious mega drifting, mega tyre smok'in,heart thump'in proper 2 wheel burnouts.... No more one wheel driving for me.... no-sir-ee....

Hi xr8tt

yes i have been in contact with mal woods in qld, about a gearbox combo for this car, but i was looking at a t56 or a tr6060 (6 speed gearboxs).

Neil from rush imports in ACT also does the install kit for the same combo.

im just waiting on funds to do it now.

UCF21 Torsen investigation report

Well, i found out more about diff's over the weekend than in the last 12 months. I found this great site called toyodiy.com (tip.. when looking for something, type this into a google seach..
eg: 1996 Supra JZA80 toyodiy.com ..and the look for toyodiy.com in the address of the examples......
I sused out the diff part numbers for all the Supra's, UCF10's and UCF20's, UCF30's, Chaser's, Soarer's, GS's, SC's, Aristo's.and V8 Crown's
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Goddddddddddddddddd !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive got part numbers comming out of my !@%^$ ears !!!!!!!!!!
I have nine A4 pages of numbers.... i recorded diff case (open or LSD), side shaft, which is the stub axle coming out of the side of the diff which is different for open or LSD, companion flange (what the tailshaft atatches to), and final drive (ratio) part numbers...........
Its gunna take me a few days to digest all these numbers and decide what fits what...... AARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (((

magnaflow exhaust systems

Posted by yortaore -
whenever you're on craigslist dont you get hesitant when someone puts "custom" exhaust in the description of the ride?

Do you know if this may fit anything else?

 

[consemated]

- magnaflow performance exhaust

I saw the magnaflow booth at sema and they had some new mufflers coming out that are supposed to be like the borla ATAk systems as far as sound

I have been shopping around on the magnaflow web site and cannot seem to find any sound clips. Anyone got a link to a video.

[QUOTEnew mufflers coming out that are supposed to be like the borla ATAk systems as far as sound ][/QUOTE]

I am running straight thru magnaflows, will these improve flow or is it just a sound change?

pretty bl**dy flash i'll say.....

 

[Cobber]

What temperature drop do you expect to get with the intercooler?

 

[fastegg]

hypronet intercooler

i'm just looking at the 3 drawings of the intercooler...... but i can't see where the water flows thru it..... It looks like fluid comes out the end plate, but then flows straight into the intake charge ????
please help...

There is an end plate at each end. Water flows through the center of the cores from one end to the other. The fins increase surface area to transfer heat. The also have the desireable effect of smoothing and equalizing pressure between the before cooling and after cooling plenums.

 

[Zuffen]

One big benefit of your design is it should even out air distribution between the cylinders.

I know John Cribb has had problems with rich/lean cylinders and I had the same until I went to an intercooler.

Laminova's are as good as you can go.

It should work a treat.

w2a intercooler

i see, that makes perfect sence...... Now why do you think a laminova core set up will cool more effectivly than a radiator core like whats on a car's cooling system ?

 

[Cobber]

It's all about temperature differential and surface area. It will be interesting to see the results.

Great work.

sorry to be persistant, but why is a laminova core better than one of these ? (image)
