Good to see you have a touch of class with your choice of aircraft and women ;) Pity about the 'sunnies' and the haircut ;(

The video quotes 331 whp, which one is correct ? The top of the graph says 'flywheel hp' so it is an estimate at the flywheel ?

Rod, Under M1 - Input Analogs - Input air temp should be set to Autronic std. DO NOT USE linearization tables. Should be pin 23 - white wire.

Rod, It may be wired correctly but the IAT in the software is set up wrong. Will check and get back to you. Autronic base settings are not set to a default. They can be anywhere.

You 'lucky beggar' John. At the recent 'Tasman revival' historic race meeting, we had the 3 ltr V12 BRM in attendance as well as the rear engined 2.4ltr V6 Dino Ferrari open wheeler in the previous pic. Many cars from o/seas, one of which you may know John - 'Old Yaller'. I had the honour of...

Some would say "and rightly so" The drummer was so bad, even the banjo player noticed.

Meant 914/916 rear engine. Alziemers arriving - my wife says it has already settled in !

What Porsche are we talking about ? The 924 front engine 4 cyl, or the 944 rear engine 4 cyl ?

Sorry! Been around engines too long to believe this sort of nonsense ! Dyno sheet looks too much like an analyzer graph. Don't care how much boost you run, with std cams and intake you will not pull 9000rpm. I suppose it is std cam buckets too - 11000 rpm ?

About as impressive as the video of the young girl's brains spread over the concrete, or the body being dragged away from the scene in two parts. It could be your loved one killed by this idiot. Lock him up and throw the key away !

Sorry Scotty, don't know the balancer weights. A Standard 1UZ crank weighs over 50 lb though ! 1UZ race engine is here http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8431

Have another think guys ! Those dyno sheets only tell you what they want you to see, not the whole story. The graphs are from inertia runs. It is impossible to get more hp or torque by using a lighter harmonic balancer/flywheel/clutch/crank etc. BTW Have been running a 1UZ circuit race...

The steering column was shortened and had a universal fitted at the bulkhead and one at the rack - they were joined by a .5" shaft that just cleared the exhaust manifold. Engine was mounted at both the crossmember and chassis rails with a tripod type mount. 6cyl rad was no problem on the...

I am quite happy to discuss what I did with the 264/Lexus, but as it was a one off, I did not keep dimensions etc. Steering column does need to be modified and I had to move the brake booster and pedal box to clear the cam cover. Erol

Moral to the story. Do not assume that ANY aftermarket component is "bolt in". Production tolerances only need to stack the wrong way and you can be in trouble. Check 3 times, and then come back tomorrow and check it again !

If you plan to use high rpm's then main/big end bearing and rod side clearances need to be a LOT larger than factory. 60psi oil pressure (hot) is adequate. Argo rods are OK but on the heavy side for 9000 rpm You WILL need shim under buckets.

Crank spigot for flywheel is 42mm. The flex plate is NOT located by the spigot - it locates on the bolts. (got trapped by that before !)

On all but the fastest circuits, F3 cars with 220bhp lap faster than even MotoGP bikes ! When compared to F1 lap times the MotoGp bikes are light years behind, let alone a road going bike.

From the TV news here it looks a bit rough ! Keep your head down John.

Craig, Have you considered an inverted VW box ? A "Rhino" case from the USA ($170 USD), Albins have a huge choice of ratio's for around $1600 AUD, LSD's available, and there are many cast bellhousings for Ford 4 cyl to VW/Hewland cases. Would only need a flat plate adaptor around .5-.75" thick...
