    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    I'm well aware of the issues with STOCK coils on rb's, however my point had nothing to do with stock coils. A valid point you brought up is that my coils were waste spark coils, so let me put it another way. We have another RB25 car that makes 600 flywheel hp, and runs the splitfire replacement...

    "Coil on plug" coils for 1UZFE

    Why is everyone concerned with running waste spark CDI?? I recently sold the engine out of my skyline, which was a RB26/30, which has previously made 830rwhp thru a manual and revs to 9300rpm. This runs waste spark CDI coil packs autronic SMC/500R 4 channel CDI with no issues. There are few...

    Upgraded 1UZ Head Studs

    Firstly, its not a factor of outright believing the 10mm studs won't handle the power, its the fact we can't buy the kit here in australia, we have to order it from lextreme. Secondly, its about 50% dearer to purchase a set of lextreme studs than if 2 of us purchase 3 sets and share the second...

    Compressor covers in both orientations?

    Garrett make a left hand turbo for the F250 trucks, mayeb try searching the wheels sizes and look of the turbo and se if it matches anything in normal configuration. I believe they are about a 600-700hp turbo though. 6BOOST

    Upgraded 1UZ Head Studs

    I'm not using standard RB25 head bolts but RB25 ARP head studs. These are completely reusable, I'd prob change them after 6-8 head removals though just to be safe, but they are not torque to yield. I think with ARP moly lube they recommend about 70ft/lb of torque compared to 10mm ARP studs at...

    7.64 Second Soarer

    The car has a grout filled block, alloy rods, custom pistons, "secret" porting, valves and camshafts, runs a hand fabricated inlet manifold with 16x 1600cc methanol injectors I believe running of an SM4 computer, and 2x GT35 garrett turbochargers with no intercooler. I think they are also using...

    What are the forged rods and piston options out there?

    Well, regardless of how good its capable of building these rods, the simple fact is teh factory items in the early engines simply aren't capable of taking more than 600-700hp without bending or breaking. Every engine I have heard of that has broken in stock form, NOT throgh detonation, has bent...

    What are the forged rods and piston options out there?

    Agreed on the non forged rod thing. Have a look at the sides of the rods on teh beams. A forged rod has a rasied "rib" along the sides where the metal is compressed by the dies and tries to sqeez any excess out of the mold, the 1/2/3UZ rods have a perfectly smooth side, kinda looks like a rod...

    What are the forged rods and piston options out there?

    The point I made was the survice, and inferior lack of knowledge about the product by the staff, the main part of the australian distributors business in motorbike stuff, maybe thats the reason they seem to know little. I didn't say the pistons were poor, just the service and knowledge in...

    What are the forged rods and piston options out there?

    In a boosted enviroment CP have gained the reputation as being one of the best in the world as piston manufacturers, a large % of australian sport compact and turbo vehicles use them, JE would be my second choice. As for wiseco, You may have better service and support over there but here in...

    Equal Vs. Unequal Turbo headers

    As someone who builds and tests manifolds for a living, I can prob help a little. Forget the tuned length pipes altogether on any and every street engine any of us will ever own. The simple fact is unless you have enough room to make long sweeping uncompromised bends, you will LOSE power with a...

    Upgraded 1UZ Head Studs

    Hey guys, I know lextreme sell the head stud kits for the 1UZ, not trying to outdo them at all, but have found another option for forced induction guys that would like some extra head clamping over the standard 10mm bolts. In my opinion, I'm suprised more people don't have issues with head...
