Yeah,i know the GM and ford Motors are cheaper and parts are cheapers,I have also ironblock pushrods motors(2 of them).They cost a bit too,once you get above 450 hp,the cost climb also,though probably not as much as 1uz-fe ,but hey..4 cam 4 valve heads.. You still looking at $8000-12000 Aus,to...

Well Yes and no,Big HP have to be defined..how big?,Its true after market performance parts are costly,ie rods,pistons arp's etc...but that surely applies to other motor also. From what I understand,with Mild SC,or Turbo's ,the cost is not that bad,which should give 400-500 hp with stock...

Yeah,have a read here..http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5541

No offence to the T5,they are not up to big HP...anything over 350 -400 rwhp and ..well get another one..lol

Try Richwood technologies,they make pulleys....

Tranny can be beefed up to 400-450 rwhp,that from MV Automatics here in Australia.. The rest of the buildup you seem to have it,as Lextreme said,tuning ..tuning..tuning is the key.. Edit,400-450 rwkw...yes thats MV automatics figures..

Hi,Interested,what make of bellhousing?

Good stuff,you be the first with this problem solved online..what diegrinder is that?

Hmm,That cam gear change sure sounds like a real problem,never knew that,did you email Kelford?They might have some ideas..keeps us posted for sure..

Once was a dude called Jim Hall,he came out in the then "CanAM" series for unlimited sportcar style racing,very interesting it is his "box car".I will try to find a link,to cut to the chase,he had some sort of vacuum device sucking the boxcar to the road.They ended up banning him for reasons...

Good to see you back Rod,with all bods waiting for the rods to be shod ...err..

What Torque converter are you using?

I willbe using Yokohama 335/35/17 at the rears,245/40/17 front...Torana SS Hatchback..

Thought Ill post this here too,Iv allways wonder what improvement have been done to improve Tractions to aid getting off the line,Have a look here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O0b90G8Yhg&mode=related&search= Good study(could be better)Im sure there's more to this..

Seems to me getting off the line fast is one factor with heavy cars,I often wonder what can be done to improve tractions at the start,you can gain seconds if you can get a good grip/takeoff..im looking in to that,Have a look at this..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O0b90G8Yhg&mode=related&search=

Nice figures,212 rwkw would be quite zappy ..what boost?Completely stock? fugly,Toranas are lightweight as you know,I dont know if i'll get that much rwkw,im hoping for 500-600 at the crank ATM,so 400+rwkw be nice..10 sec,,,ill love that..heheheh:veryhappy

Well was originally going to convert into LX torana (1150 kg),but before the actural converting bit I thought that getting the motor/trans sorted out first,ie any mods etc..there's another Torana mod here by TOBES ,the purpose was/is to have a nice cruiser with a bite....lol maybe a bit of...

Yeah,i go along with that,beautiful work going on there,im learning a bit more too..can i ask where did you get the bearings?and what cost?Iv had different prices in Sydney.. Meant to ask,you pollished all those shines..?

Forged pistons are on the cards as for the rods...1 uz rods looks to take the load,considering the GB argrorace rods,but from all account the 1 uz rods should be good for 600-800 HP...So far the twinscrews type looks the go for 500+HP....will look up GT8Justen ,see what is doing..BTW,in Aus here...

jibbby...the 500-600 hp was at the crank,600 RWKW is massive...I understang big cost involved there,but from what i understand,1uz stock internals should take that(500-600 hp),the point of this thread is to find the ingredients for 500-600 hp(at the crank) maybe thats 450-500KW.?Could very well...
