    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    Jebus! You guys have got to be happy with that. No matter how the power was gained. Fingers crossed it shows the improved numbers on the blacktop dyno too. Have to hand it to the people at Injector Dynamics, they certainly have got their stuff sorted out. I have more than doubled my injector...

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    But what fun would it be if you couldn't drive them to the track? Then you may as well just have one of those trailer queen chassis cars, haha :p Awesome, I am looking forward to see how the new class goes. Sounds like there are quite a few ppl interested in it. That's a funny coincidence...

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    Definitely a bit of luck for you's there. I am of the same opinion as Justen on this one. I was keen on the idea of having multiple pumps so as not to get stranded anywhere, but decided to go one large Fuelab pump in the end, seeing as it does more track work than street driving. No matter...

    Cobber's Cobra

    The gentleman I spoke to didn't actually specify if it was a HTV which they had experienced problems with. He was more just talking about the superchargers and coatings in general, saying that they have had problems with that injection method at some point. As the common consensus seems to be...

    Cobber's Cobra

    Bit late on the reply here but this info may be of some help to others. I spoke to one of the engineers at Harrop a while back about my blower, as I am running the extra injector at the supercharger inlet and have changed over to E85 fuel. With all the talk around about the corrosive nature...

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    Some good results there for sure! Tell you what, there must be something about these angry, short wheelbase Capri's, our racecar has tried to ride the rear bumper a few times now too, haha. Makes for a good show either way. Those Neil Chance converter's definitely sound like some good gear...

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    That is one lucky boy right there, being able to get behind the wheel of such an impressive car, especially being someone else's. I'm sure Joe would've been like an anxious father watching on? Haha. Must say though, he certainly handled the car very well. Especially being such a major step up...

    Was there something wrong Justen? You were taking it a bit easy weren't you? Haha :p

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    Good to see you had her all fixed and out there running some impressive numbers again. I had my first outing Saturday night too since my conversion to E85. Have got to say, I know everyone told me it was the way to go, but just didn't realize it would make such a difference. With just the...

    Hey James. This is Chris here with the supercharged white 1uz Hilux. Glad to see you made it in here to find this thread. I'm sure Paulie and yourself will have quite a bit to chat about. Sorry about sharing the incorrect info too about the boost controller, that's a 'my bad' on my behalf...

    Billet Screw Blower

    It certainly is one tough looking unit! They seem to build some good quality stuff, although have not personally dealt with any of their products. TF and the majority of the higher drag classes tend to run screw blowers, although a few guys over here have been making the change to a roots...

    Billet Screw Blower

    I thought I would share a little bit of automotive porn with you all. Below are a few pictures of the latest screw supercharger being released from PSI superchargers, which is machined completely from billet aluminium. Very nice work of art! On a completely and totally non-related topic, feel...

    1uz + ITB + Supercharged = Holden Ute??

    Not sure if anyone else on here has seen this one around, but found a couple pics of this unusual old school Holden combo from a Victorian (Australia) Car Show.

    Awesome video, some impressive driving skills there. She certainly moves along quite well, haha.

    Twin turbo UZ ST185

    Geez, you have got to be happy with those numbers Justen, rather impressive! What sort of torque figures did you end up with? I am getting so eager now to get this E85 happening and bump up the boost some more. They are definitely proving to be an awesome pairing when applied together.

    Twin Turbo 1UZ 1970 Ford Capri street/strip car

    Not sure if I would go as far to say that the track up here of a Wednesday night is well prepped. They may let you go quicker than 9.0s but from what I have seen, you'd have to be pretty confident in your car and driving skills. What have you guys been running for the engine oil side of...

    New intake good for an extra 50rwhp.

    Thanks guys. Haha yup, have to beware of those darned work utilities :p Yeh I am looking forward to seeing the improvements out of just a straight fuel swap. My tuner is hinting to expect some big gains, but I won't get my hopes up until I see the numbers. But it appears I have to pick my...

    New intake looks awesome. And definitely sounds like it has made some major improvements!
