Just back, been away for a week. You are the first to show any interest here. I have my friend with the kit car, and he want 1 sets and one extra as spares. I'm also looking into making one manifold that will fit both sides, that way I will only need 10 manifolds in total (5 pairs) in order to...

Hmm, I think it's also possible to add an flange and port for an external wastegate to the manifold. Placing it where all the ports meet, opposite the T25 flange should work out fine.

P Bateman: Turbos mounted so low you need an external electric pump is something I will not use, you insert an extra point of failure here. This design places a Garrett or Mitsubishi turbo so the turbo will drain back to the sump without any issues. I agree, front high mounted turbos would be...

Did some quick and dirty 3D printing of both manifolds. When we was testing in the car I usually just printed the two exhaust ports closest to the turbo flange. I only have a few pictures of the in car tests + they are an early version with turbo flange between exhaust port 2 and 3 and the...

Forgot to post how much this will cost. 10 manifolds for each side looks to be €265 each, so 20 pairs will be €530 for a pair + freight. This price is not final, this is what the foundry have given me as an offer.

Hi. Been a while since i have been around but, just as I thought I was out I get dragged back in. A friend of mine is building a kit car, a cobra mk4 replica from Gardner Douglas gdcars.com and he is using a 1UZ-FE engine with twin turbos in it. As a joke I said I would get him some twin...

I'm finally done with my finals.... Ok, about the intake for the Hayabusa ITB's. I had a look at it earlier today and there is a major issue, the Hayabusa ITB's are to tall. Let me explain. The Hayabusa ITB's are tall, this + the intake adds up to interference between the two banks of ITB's...

4U2QUIK: Thanks, but I'm after a U2 bell housing for a special application and the adapter plate for it I'll do myself.

As the title says, I'm interested in a "U2" auto bell housing, the one that have the engine tilted about 7 degrees vs. the auto box. Anyone ? - Trond

Guys, sorry for not replying, but I'm busy with finals until June 5th.

ash: The Ross pistons are 83.00 mm bore ( + 0.50 mm over stock ) and the pin diameter is 22.00 mm. The Argo connecting rods have the same dimension as a stock rod, hence "stock replacement fit". cribbj: Yup, the MOT won the first round but not the match, 'cause "I've got a cunning plan" :cool:

I'm selling all my 1UZFE performance parts. There is a couple of reasons for doing this, first I'm tired of fighting the Norwegian MOT to get my car road worthy. The second is, I'm going back to school ( Uni ) on the 16th and time to play will be restricted by this. The parts are meant for the...

And the final one for now. If you squint your eyes, you can see that the exhaust out from the turbo will go thru the crossmember. Since the turbo sits so low I will have to use a pump to return the oil to the sump.

One more pic showing the placement.

A status update. I mentioned in an earlier post, that the Norwegian MOT would accept a test from an independent source like TÜV or DEKRA, not so. I managed to open a channel into a DEKRA branch 60 km outside Berlin, and had settled the specs I would have to build the car to in order to get it...
