Link G3 It is true that the M122's are a really good deal, but the M112s still cost less than half as much as the M122. And my M112 makes 7 psi while keeping my intake air temps really cool, and it will easily make 10 or 12 psi when I am done tuning. This is about as much as a stock bottom...

The motor internals are still stock--but pretty much everything that bolts on has been upgraded: headers, intake,COPs, injectors, hyd fan delete. That license plate on the front is not just for looks! The car is registered and insured. In fact, I drove it 30 miles to work (and 30 miles home)...

Mine is a '75. Dude, 1UZ's are so cool that they feel at home just about anywhere!!!

First a couple of pics: That Cobra did not survive the day--broken shifter and straight off at the button hook. No other damage though. Luckily, I survived with no probelms. I have to put a disclaimer on the video: my fuel map over 5000 RPM or over 7 PSI of boost was so rich it was like...

Hey everyone, my car has been nominated for Car of the Year on Hooniverse.com . A little background on the car can be found in this thread: http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15092 I need your help, as I would like to have a good showing (if not acually win it). Go here...

I so wish I had room for one of those at my house. At least we have a couple at work that I can use.

I might have gone the roll cage route, if the whole bottom of the car wasn't rusted out and/or otherwise really mangled. I figured that since it was all going to be cut out anyway, might as well go full chassis. You definitely can't use the SC struts up front--way too tall. I used some cheap...

I would listen to Justen. Mark

It will work if you want it to--and this is definitely the forum you want to be on if you are really going to do this. I'm not sure what an AE86 would look like with the SC400 track width, but here is my TE37 on Sc400 suspension, which is 7" wider. Looking forward to watching your project...

I wouldn't think it would be a problem. I moved the whole IACV into the cabin. I wanted to mount it directly to the back of the M112, but my motor is VERY tight up against the firewall so it wouldn't fit. I ran a 3/4" hose from the EGR port on the supercharger into the cabin where the valve is...

Right on. Good luck with your project. The world needs more little cars with 1uZ power!!! Mark

Where did you get that weight number? I weighed my 1UZ when I pulled it from the donor car and it weighed 420 pounds. That was with the torque converter and all accessories still on. Don't get me wrong, I picked the UZ because it is a relatively light motor, it's just that 352 lbs seems a...

I want to take a moment to thank Lextreme.com and all its members. This project would never have gotten this far, or even started, were it not for this forum and all the people who post on it. The amount of knowledge available and the generosity of the members here is incredible--my car is a...

It is still a gas shielded wire feed process, so it looks like MIG--but the wire is hollow and has flux inside, and the current is much higher. It's called FCAW-G, flux cored arc welding-with gas. My little machine can barely put out 160 amps (with the wire and voltage all the way up), we run...

I wouldn't trust a 110 machine to weld anything over 3/16", no matter what the specs say. If you have 220 in your shop I would get a 220 machine--it will run better even on thin stuff. If you only have 110, it would be OK for what you are doing. FYI I am the foreman at a fab shop that does a...

It's good to see you haven't given up. Long term projects have a way of getting more and more involved, then running out of steam. I started mine in '06, and am finally nearing completion. You can go here to see my progress. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2292095/1975-toyota-corolla Mark

Very nice work. I went the easy (high rise) way because I didn't want to mess with the fuel rails or water bridge. But I think it sticks out too much--even for my car. I may copy your design if/when I redo mine. And that close up shot is just the mock-up--I don't have any pics yet of the...

Here's mine. The pipes are 1 3/4", and 38" long, which is longer than I wanted, but as short as would physically work. You will find that it is impossible to have short primaries if they must cross over from one side too the other. I went this way for the sound. This motor is...

I was wondering where that second idler was mounted. What are you going to do about the upper radiator hose? Mark

I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of warping I had on mine. I was really worried about it, because everything SuperRunner said about the intake mating to the heads is absolutely correct. I don't know if I got lucky with my preheat/welding sequence or what, but when I was done, it fit very...
