Jibbby, you should realy run it like it is, that way you get a base line to compare your future modifications to, it will also give others on this forum an idea what there potential performance will be if they do simalar mods to there own car is.
Its all about sharing information.
Zuffen, how much is a Opcon going to cost you? does it fit on the same Richwood manifold? are you still going to intercool it or is it not nessisary?
Jibbby, I am very happy with my cars performance at the moment, good quarter times in street trim, good fuel ecconomy, i can get the power i've...
Looking at a water to air intercooler, the cooler core will go in the planium directly under the blower, will have to lift the blower slightly to fit it in.
My original motor N/A dynoed at 214rwhp, with 112 it dynoed at 317rwhp with 9lb boost, i've detuned it a bit since then to make it safer for when i compete in burnout competitions (as i melted pistons in the first engine during a burnout comp), now dynoed at 289rwhp, with this tune i ran a...
Hey LEX, just check if your injectors fit in the manifold, the injector nozzle holes in my manifold were only drilled to about 9mm, should be 10 or 10.5mm from memory.
Thats the only problem i had with my manifold, hopefully yours is all good
I don't have any good photos but you can get an idea from this one.
It will also depend on what mounts you are going to use, mine are standard toyota crown mounts, thats what my original motor was from.
i've had my car on a couple dynos, the first ran 317rwhp but i promptly blew that engine up...
I've been slack i've had this setup going since may, but seeing LEX's new manifold inspired me to put some photos up, theres a before & after engine bay photo & some photos of various mods & fabricated bits i had to do to make it happen.
Any questions, fire away
You should find it a very easy conversion as i did, if you have any questions just ask, only to happy to assist where i can.
Talking gearboxs, i'm having problems again with the standard original box i'm using, you should have no problems using a C4 as they can be made very strong.
As i want to...
Just looking at options, heard turbo700's can be made pretty strong these days, still looking into that comment.
i,m not looking at huge figures proberly around 400rwhp, but i give boxes a hard time doing burnouts as well as drag racing.
Has any body actually used(or know someone who has used) a CASTLEMAINE ROD SHOP 1UZ to TURBO700 adapter kit? i am interseted to hear any coments you have on the adapter kit, good or bad.
