real world power. Thanks max power you saved someone from getting a teardown by me. thats correct it is rear wheel torque and horsepower. And it is 4.11 : 1 diff ratio. The dyno that was used is regarded as a very accurate dyno. When you have driven a car with nearly 2 thousand nm's of torque...

Well guys it been about 18 months since i bought my first t70 and finally we have some dyno results that are real and some thing i can belive. The car is a friends venom cobra with a 1uz backed by a tremec 3550 5speed and a r32 gtr skyline rear end. it has autronic sm2 ecu and has made 225 Hp at...

plenum volume. The volume is aprox 2.0 ltrs. Hope to have it in the car and running in about 4 weeks. Oz.

yep the bracket will be machined off. and the silver paint is to stop the alloy coroding again after it was acid washed if you dont seal the surface it just oxidises up .

mounted Well finally i got the blower mounted and the drive sorted out. The manifold was tig welded. I have attached some pics it used a std vs commodre belt which was more luck than good management. and a couple of vs supercharged idlers machined flat to take the belt. They are mounted on the...

nearly done . Well its been a bit more difficult than i first thought . When i welded the manifold even with it clamped to a 1" plate it bowed heaps so i had to straighten it and get it remachined. I have just finished setting up the drive belt and have to mount the t/body and idle contoll...

low tacho!! Hi guys I have come across this problem before with celcior tachos what it turned out to be is the neddle has broken loose from the shaft they are glued originaly and with age it separates from the shaft . To fix it you need to pull the dash out and pull the face cover off give it...

bent pin!!! I have seen a couple of examples of the location pins being sheared off both times it was cause by an oil shortage. the front right hand cam bearing is the last to recive oil from the pump. thus when you have low or no oil pressure the bearing runs dry and seizes the cam which...

you r right. Hi Darren you are correct in saying that but i dont care as i am only going to race it at club level events and sprints with the cobra club boys. I couldnt affort to race it as a sports sedan. as you need a c4 licence and bucket load of $$$$$. it is also a development platform for...

The inlets are of different sizes but are bigger than the runners so the flow will even out in the runner asit is a restriction . and under boost pressure is equal in all directions. Iam not sure about off boost drivability. I guess i will find out soon enough . bell mouths could be fitted with...

intercooling?? Ithink if height is not a problem you could put an water to air intercooler in between the blower and the manifold . I prefer the water methanol injection below the blower if you use a high percentage of methanol it serves 2 purposes 1 to cool the intake charge and the other is...

Just another job on the go this is for a customers vs commodore .Iam fitting a 1uz with a m112 eaton blower puchased off one of forum members. I have started fabricating the manifold i dont thin any one has done it this way before . I have put on some pics basicly i milled out the centre of the...

Hi guys i just thought i would post some pics of my latest project. is an ra 40 celica sports sedan which used to have chev in it but now has 1uz sitting beside the drivers seat . i have put the raja turbo and motec system i had on the cobra. But instead of using the getrag 6 speed i have put...

What a Great idea!!! Lambo i think you hit the nail right on the head the Hydraulic pump for the fan would be perfect . One of the biggest problems with an oil return pump is the effect it can have on turbo seals . I came up with a solution for this by useing a small sump under the turbo which...

headertank well its not realy an over flow bottle as it holds pressure from the cooling system its more of a storage tank to maintain a full radiator it also helps separate air from the coolant Regards oz

Hi guys i just thought i would let you know that i just bought an old sports sedan which used to have a chev in it but is destined for a far better engine plant. and you guessed it a turboed 1uz . it is so i can do testing on new plenums and turbo setups for my new cobra kit i am also...

sc400 one part that is hard to get and regularly fails is the radiator header tank they always crack around the level switch . see if you can make them for a resonable price. there is plenty of sc owners who need them i am sure of that. oz.

great to see. Hi dave great to see the truck going well and thanks for the plugs on your web page . hopefully you will come and see me when you want to turbo it. All the best Scott.

software. Hi I have used a few different types of aftermarket ecus motec autronic wolf ems haltech . so i want anything i say to be taken as constructive and not a critsisum . I found the 3d graph a bit hard to to follow as it picks up multipull load pionts at the same time i see that acts to...

fuel rail Hi the pulsing started when we getting up around 350 to 400 hp at the wheels. at this point the fuel mixtures started jumping all over the place. oz
