The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
Haha thanks, well I am proud to own one of his engines.
The 3 speed auto works like a dream, revs a lil bit cruising along the highway, but it got driven to the dyno tuner the other week which is well over an hour drive both ways, without a problem at all.
Thanks again.
The alloy pipe come with the throttle body setup which I brought from a member off of this forum. We just polished and modified it to suit my setup.
They are -20AN fittings & hoses, which is around 1 1/8in ID hose I believe. Not the cheapest stuff to buy, but the end finish and safer leak free result I think is well worth it.
Thanks guys.
Haha yup, have to beware of those darned work utilities
Yeh I am looking forward to seeing the improvements out of just a straight fuel swap. My tuner is hinting to expect some big gains, but I won't get my hopes up until I see the numbers. But it appears I have to pick my game up now anyways to catch up to bloody Millsi' Hilux! haha
Only just though! And won't be for too long either I imagine once you get your's sorted out.
The best so far is 116mph

WOW... that is the most b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l piece of mechanical artwork ive seen in a loooooong time... It is superb, and i'm sure Mr Lexus would be very proud that someone had done something like what you have done to one of his motors...

First off, Very Nice Job. What size fittings and hose did you use for the radiator?

Well guys, just thought I would share my little 10seconds of fame video of the Hilux. This is taken from the One HD tv show of the event.
Not sure how many of you's on here are actually familiar with our Winternationals. But it is described as the largest annual drag racing meet outside of the US, and is our grand finals for the racing season.
With the amount of racers and talent that come from all over Australia, and overseas, it is a major achievement to just make it past the first round of racing. This was my first time actually competing in this event as I am usually crewing for a friend.
After the first attempt, the meeting was rained out and rescheduled. Well the forecast wasn't the best for the re-run of the event and one of the 3 days was wasted due to rain, again. But was a good weekend and eventually made it to race day. Sun shining, car going great and some good racing all round. Somehow I managed to make it all the way through to and past the quarter finals (featured in the link below) and scored myself a bye run into the finals. Unfortunately the rain came back once again as we lined up for the semi finals and the meeting was completely called off this time. But had a great time and can't wait for the new season. Enjoy the vid.

The Hilux is about to undergo its latest round of modifications as I am now following the rising trend and converting to E85, which in my case, involves an entire new fuel system. So I will be sure to post some updates and new pics over the next few weeks.

Nice work, between you and Millsi up there the Hiluxes will start getting a name as the sleeper of choice
E85, you won't look back. Mid range torque gains you'll see from the xtra intake cooling should be pretty substantial.
Thanks guys.

thx mate.
as always, sharing the knowledge helps everyone else and is very Australian!
my supercharger is on hold...may not even happen with my LC100 that i bought new in 2005....i may have to sell it and get a 105 and do the Marks Adapters LS1 conversion, but supercharged.
We'll see. 5 months out of work changes your perspective!
Thankfully i am working again so who knows!
cheers
