the heads have been touched - and i think u may be onto who is having the heads made :wink: They are building a new car and a more powerful engine combo.

Thats one big turbo LTLRKT and with a 1.05 turbine (presume u chose that over the 1.22) will be very laggy but will have one HUGE topend!! Cant wait to see the results. Also the yellow celica over here in west oz was using methanol to get the HP and boost out of a stock engine, 15 psi is a...

hahaha, yeah and these heads will prob cost as much as a roller too!!

I was speaking to someone today about their twin turbo 1UZ and where the development was at with it. He was saying they will be getting a set of billet heads done up in about 6-12 months time as they have reached the limit for a set of stock castings (heavily ported), the car is making well over...

Zuffen the lightning is indead 2 valve but its a SOHC engine - hence the narrow heads. It cant be all that bad a design if it can power a 4670lb vehicle to a 13.6 @ 102mph 1/4 mile - enough to eat any factory 1UZ vehicle for breakfast, and to add insult it is a pickup truck!

I know someone who can get em for about $300, brand new, if u are keen to try and fit them.

First thing before chopping the bonnet is ged rid of the 14inch thermo and replace it with something bigger - it is just no where near enough cooling for a V8, i will put money on the bonnet vents doing SFA, seen it many a time and no change to the operating temps (removing the whole bonnet may...

Sounds like it is running very lean, Id get the injectors serviced and see how it goes - this should be done as part of the few pre-install jobs. It may or may not solve the problem but for the 100 bucks it costs it is well worth it.

Hi devojet, Iam currently doing just about the same thing. The hardware was the easy bit, but I have found the software algorithms pretty tricky, the concept is easy enough but getting the box to shift like the factory box does and not hunt for gears is proving to be trickier than first thought....

The crank has a 12 tooth trigger and uses a reluctor sensor to send the info to the ECU. Behind each dizzy attached to the cam belt gear there is a "home" signal used for the sequential/multipoint injection, the dizzy home signals are 180 degrees apart and occur once each engine cycle ie every 2...

Almost any aftermarket ECU will run the engine. Just pick one that your tuner of choice is familar with and is in your price range - of course the cheaper ones havnt got all the bells and whistles of say a motec, but they still do a good job of running the engine. Iam using a Wolf3D V4 Plus...

Yep sure is!! Got a set of tyres to wreck and diff to break!!

Who is doing the work on the car??

Good to hear!! Yeah the crossmembers are quite different, well done on getting through it!! So whats the projected time frame now?? Also make sure you post some pictures up once its all done. Cant really offer any help with the wiring though, i have aftermarket management so just followed...

Got it done at driveshaft balancing in ossie park for $280, this was shortened, balanced with new centre CV and bearing. West City wanted $350 to shorten and balance then $150 for centre CV and bearing, most other places were around the $400 mark for everything. Its amazing the variation in...

Cheers deankdx, thats what a few ppl on calaisturbo.com have said the problem is, I will replace the bearing next week along with the rear uni-joint and see what happens - failing that i will have it rebalanced and inspected elsewhere. The only reason i have gone back to the same tailshaft...

I only humored the tailshaft guy by having a suspension mob look at the suspension, the entire suspension setup were replaced about 10,000kms ago so I seriously doubted that would be the problem. I will try what Zuffen has suggested to see if i can get the problem to clear, get the diff and...

I have had the car (1UZ and A341E in a Holden VL Calais) on the road for about 3 months now and have had a vibration from day 1 when taking off from a stop. It ony happens from 1500rpm to about 2000rpm and then goes away. It will happen with anything greater than about 15% throttle, any gear...

Used the original wiring in the fuse box, just find the wire that goes to the fuel pump relay from the original ECU and use that. Iam using a B&M quicksilver shifter, used the original parts that were attached to a TH400 and made a few mods. Used a standard VL pump which is the same as...
