Lindsay Racing have a similar area. It's called the Fecal Roster ;o)

Well done Erol! Looks good and didn't realise it was just a standard engine. Was it for mock up of all the extras before you get to grips with the internals. What is interesting is the bhp curve. I know the original cams are for a heavy exec car but they don't run out of puff higher up...

can you check the engine number with lexus and get the vin number confitmed against the licence plate? We can do this in the UK. If you have a difference then take it up with the seller if possible. Judging by the melted plastic it's reached a considerable temperature. M

toy4me, so with no dissy's or edis what is he going to use??? Mark

John I'm sorry I'm probably being a total buffoon but I can see your 'busa jpeg but it only shows the 600, and 750/1000 dimensions, the busa is bigger. Have I missed the point that the 'busa 1300 uses the 1000 throttle bodies?

Have you got the dimensions though for the early and late 'busa throttle bodies? Cheers Mark

Bloody hell are you sure????? Start from the air filter and end at the exhaust tip! ;o) Personally I'm interested in; turbos details (big area) plenum design and size throttle body(ies) and injectors inlet manifolds head work valves, springs, shims, cams (I think you've already stated...

Maajola you are the master of understatement sometimes! We know it's dam quick, just how did you get there!!! :o) We well know the basics of your car but this is quite a techie site so any indepth info you wish to share would be well received. If it's confidential then fair enough. Cheers Mark

John, really interesting but unless I've mis-read did you ommit the 'busa specs?

I think judging by the look of the engine it's going to be put to some proper use so regular rebuilds will take into account stress related issues.

oh boy, now we're talking! ;o)

Oi!!!!!! I read the title of this thread and felt a little uncomfortabe as thought it might be aimed at someone around my age. Then I just checked out the autor's age.... Date of Birth: March 4, 1968 Age: 38 Bloody hell Jibbbers me lad, you ain't no spring chicken, and you're older than...

Oh for god's sake some please burn this thread!

I've tried getting a rear sump but the dealer needed chassis numbers etc (which I haven't got) but indicated it wasn't going to be cheap as it's 2 parts of the sump, the oil pick up tube, dip stick and tube etc. So gave up and thought it was cheaper to get a used rear sump engine, though it is...

Well he's just driven it! ;o)

Bloody Cheap Engines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I have some results, but I need quick responses. I can get between 6 or 7 1UZ engines for GBP325 each. This is excluding shipping and is an average price based on the cheapest engines I can get. All are front sump 1UZ, approx 100k miles (160k kms)...

they are probably standard fitment from something like a W8/10/12 of a V5 etc and standard materials.

If you look at the Veyron thread it's basically 2 VAG 8 cylinders together with some poetic licence.

errr... no weight is always a performance killer. Ok constant highway average speeds reduces the issue but in the real world there is plenty of stop/starts and that kills the mpg. Also weight is an issue as the haulage industry has plenty of data based around shipping weights etc as a full...

Mine's stripped and on a stand, and if I can find an old protrator I take a measurement. If I can't I'll atleast take a picture. If some one beats me to it, I suggest taking the degree measurement through the centre line of the sensor mount for accuracy.
