Wow, you are certainly a brave fellow, those early Zephyr's are sincerely the worst handling car ever and having more than a 130hp engine will be suicide lol. And the brakes, wow the stock ones are like cardboard wraped around a steel shaft :), I guess you have some serious mods planned for...

Sent you a PM from here with something to check out, might find another psi or so from that as well. Yes there is a lot of potential here to make more juicy numbers yet :)

Boost pressure around 14psi will definitely get you going towards 400rwhp. Is Zephyr Mark 2?

Thats about 413hp on the motor............. nice one

LXSV8 dyno Here is chart (LXSV8's car) for 1UZ with 6.5psi and intercooler. Nice amount of power with HUGE potential :veryhappy 201RWKW = 268 RWHP

PSIUZ pic PSIUZ wants his latest pic

Intercooled SC V8 Soarer image Here is another nice one, PSIUZ did this since he is in the groove with it all at the moment

Soarer with SC It seems the lad hasn't answered your questions. I will do it for him Injectors are changed from stock to 315cc Boost is 9.5 - 10psi Yes it does light the tires in a straight line on dry bitumen.

Is there a cheaper source of traction fluid, must be something out there that is same

All good really, just need bigger blower to make it happen in the 7500 rpm range or as someone suggested ............ use 2 :) Would hope the traction fluid is good for more than 1000km!! Anyone know how long the fluid will normally last in hot conditions at 9psi boost levels?

How often does "traction juice" have to be changed out? I am guessing here but I feel the SC has run out of puff, you have opened up all the restrictions in the exhaust system, this would mean entire system is flowing more air. Maybe you need larger model SC of same brand

SC is probably not leaking anywhere, just no longer can keep up with engine air demand. And lower boost reading will also contribute to lower eng accel rate

9.5 sounds realistic :)

What sort of pressures are we talking here, boost pressures??

In the USA they got those Powerstroke 7.3 diesels running 11 sec quarters in full size trucks. So yeah, plenty hotting up is possible for diesel engines. Just look at the diesel tractor pullers, they get some ultra serious horsepower from tractor engines
