yep, we dealt with them, very good service, can't remember the guys name top of my head, very happy with the service!

he is, but, he needs to do heads and intake manifold, new port is a high port so no good for old manifold.

sure thing when we get them back, the heads haven't changed still the same.

just about done, heads need to be screwed down. had a little issue with the 1/2'' head stud nut hitting on the cam gear, we thought it might get away with not recessing the head, but, didn't work out like that. if u take the washer off it just misses, but, we prefer to run with the washer and go...

what's your motor n time worth? if you are going over 800hp+ then go Argo, will cost you more in the long run if you don't.

bainracing get back to work :p

Argo Rods n Ross Pistons (both straight off the shelf) 1200hp TT 1UZ, over 400 passes n almost 40000km's of street driving. we switched to CP Pistons now, they look alot more sturdy than the Ross, will let ya know in 5 years how they are :p

got a pic from Norm @ Northmead Auto Centre the other day letting us know how cute the pistons were. they barely fit in his piston holder. he is usually building tough Big Block engines, he has been doing a few smaller cube DOHC motor's now, they are slowly growing on him. the bottom end is...

so it begins! assembly started, be good to see what 10-10.5:1 CR CP Pistons, PTC Converter and Boost Leash Boost Controller do to this thing, if it picks up and makes the same power on less boost, is more responsive and runs the same or a little quicker over the 1/4, then we will be happy as fuck!

yeah, we'll give them a shake see how we go, we might fluke it :p

little update, machining is all done, and the heads are being put together as we speak. assembly on the bottom end may start this week, if not will be next. looking forward to seeing how the combo responds to the bump in comp and new PTC converter. also putting in some sensors for...

while we are finishing off a freshen up for the old engine, work for the new head has begun, in the way of a nice new port job for the heads, Jake @ Bain Racing has started on the new cylinder heads for the little Capri, these will be an integral part of getting us into the 7's with only a...

measured up all the pistons today, everything meausred up near on perfectly, was .0002''-.0006'' discrepancy from the numbers on the spec sheet (most around .0002''-.0004''), spec sheet says the size is 3.4709'' at gauge point, 6/10000ths of an inch, that could just be coming down to human...

new CP pistons have arrived, machining and assembly can now start on the engine.... as you can see, pretty standard fare for this engine, just the accumulator groove on the 2nd ringland the only extra, just to help with blow-by and a lil piston flutter. looks pretty good, should show...

the suggested is low, at 100kpa you are running almost 5* more than we used to. twin turbo 98-octane

Precision PT6766 will liven it up. get the T4 1.0 or 1.1 A/R turbine housing.

cribbj, the EMS is all designed and done here in Australia. i know they have been contacted by other companies to have them re-brand their ECU's, if they say no, it's then not hard for a company to buy one and then just copy it. finding a good tuner is very important and getting an ECU they...

the problem with Motec is after you pay $3k for the ECU, then you need to pay for data logging, wideband, advanced functions a $3k ECU ends up costing over $5k. the EMS 8860 is another fantastic standalone ECU, we have been running our TT 1UZ on it for over 5 years. it doesn't have traction...

see what happens, was just talking to Joe, they might just be thrown into a mate's drift car.

i saw that, it's even cheaper thru Tuff Parts http://www.tuffcarparts.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=731 the Spool might be ok for your combo, i don't know any 1UZ guys running them, so no idea on how they will hold up. the old stuff in the car is just going to storage...
