The public server access on toymania is convenient. You might want to try using it to post. It took me just a few minutes from beginning to end.

DOC ADE Here is my adapter for the C4 to 1UZ from Jeff at Dellow. It was about $400 AUS. http://www.geocities.com/cambo61/flea10.html

All those laughs are a good sign...I can't wait to see more!!!!

By far the best Lexus clip on the web now. Sounds like a pro-stock car doing a burnout, but with the lag.

I just took down my 92 1UZ and was blown away by how incredibly weak the rods appeared. I know appearances aren't everything. The manual says the rods are forged, which to my understanding is common among most high end Japanese engines. I compared them to a N/A VQ30 rod and it made the 1UZ look...

Looks great! The 2JZ crowd will have a coronary infacrtion :) when they see this! So did you chose the SC engine because the rear sump? Is the 2JZ rear too?

Sweet car! I looked at the pictures and you actually have some space to work with. If it were me, I'd put a good size single right where the two merge behind the block. You have v-band clamps off of your collectors which will make it nice to adapt a crossover pipe to your turbo. They could...

My main reasoning for using a conventional domestic transmission was because they are incredibly strong--or at least have the most potential, are cheap to find parts for, and have the ability to use a transbrake. Most importantly was the transbrake. When you launch one of these it's like a...

Thanks everyone for the help. Flea

So is it more common on this application to keep the distributors in lieu of coil-on-plug (like the 4.3) or some wasted spark DFU set-up? What is needed in between the coil and Autronic ignition outputs--some sort of ignitor? Thanks

Should be working now... Unless the monthly limit is exceeded.

I need to update my links. Who's got web pages with Lexus/Toyota V8 info, swaps, big engines in little cars, etc. Don't be afraid to speak for someone else. If you know of some good pages, let me know--even if they're not yours. Thanks The Flea www.geocities.com/cambo61

I'm getting closer to making a decision about an EMS. I've read alot of good things about the Autronic sm2 and was wondering about peoples' experiences with it. I've had a little work with the DTA EMS from the UK. If you're using Autronic, could you tell me about your set-up, I.E...

Let us know when you get the mounts done. A new thread is posted for engine mounts.

I like what's been said by everyone and agree with a lot of the points. Here's a couple other things to throw in the mix. Engines have their own duty cycles. My old Pontiacs made peak torque at only 3800 rpm. (Most modern engines can't run with the A/C on until 3800rpm). All things being...

.75 hrs South of Fresno in a city called Visalia. I'm open to visitors. I'm hoping to start on the cage and engine mounts in a week or so. Happen to know of any good deals on sheet metal (more especially chromoly tubing) ;)

I believe when I checked it was about 380lbs. I've seen many interesting combos on this forum. Individual runner injection (like a kinsler unit), twin blowers, multiple turbos, and heard of folks down under using carbs for a spec dirt class. You can get just about any stand alone unit to work...

I've gone through 5 frame off restos and 2 full guttings. In that time I've reached a few conclusions about weight. 1) You can't make a big car light and lots of weight will render all of your hard work and money spent on an engine program useless. I used to bracket race with a guy who had...

Blown EA, I'm actually gonna wait until the very, very last thing to buy the ECU because I think Autronic will have a total autotune feature on both fuel and ignition by the time I purchase. If not, I'll still go Autronic because I've read many good things about it from your mates down under...
