What a bloody shame. This should cheer a few though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXKvIKVvP1Y

Well unless I missed it in your oversized images I can't see: 1. A purge valve? 2. Fuel pressure safety cut off switch? 3. Nitrous pressure safety cut off switch? 4. The pipes to the jet are too long from the solenoid. 5. You appear to be spraying up stream of the throttle butterfly and you are...

Are you sure? You are going to need a whole new set of injectors to cope with enough fueling to meet the demand, plus a bespoke flexible management system to cope with the fueling, 2 lots of timing retarding, 2 different set engine limiters to cut nitrous flow before spark etc etc. Methinks...

Front sump Mate you can have mine if you can swap me for a full rear set up. Like you I need the full lot including oil pick up etc etc. Hope we can help each other. Cheers Mark

A simple spreadsheet but you can tell there's an awful lot of work gone into it. Well done. M

"why not consider turbocharging?"... or a centrifugal?

But the Ultima mod does do it for me!

This really does make me chuckle, but strangely i like it!

not bad eh?

There are a few Lexii in there plus loads of other interesting and unusual cars that when photoshopped/modded look cool. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/news/default.asp?storyId=14810 It's all a bit of fun and I think the guy who runs it is only 20! Cheers Mark

John, Cheers, as helpful as ever! Pretty sure I'm going MS with Edis8 and I've already researched some of the prices. Can you also believe that the guy who officially imports MS into the UK lives about 10 miles from me!!!!!!! I had a beer with him last week to explain a few elementy parts to...

Can you elaborate? Does the later vvti 36-2 wheel bolt directly into the earlier 1UZ? Any other mods other than welding in the extra tooth? Also will the earlier crank sensor be good and accurate enough to read the newer now 36-1 wheel? If you changed the sensor, how and what with? Cheers...

This is interesting. Tell us more please? Mark

JBRADY I respect all your posts but you've missed my point. The figures I was quoting were 'circa' and I wasn't comparing to a Lexus. Read my post again, spot the engine size I'm quoting against and make an intelligent guess! ;) My point is about 'displacement' can be replaced, If BMW can get...

Rod I guess this would cost a few bucks, and if you spent a bit more you could have a full dry sump set up which would give you good oil flow at high g points, and also further gains as the crank wouldn't have any windage losses splashing through the sump. I would love a dry sump set up (and...

Mega squirt can do virtually anything. Junk the stock distributors and use Fords EDIS8. I met the UK importer of MS and he took time out to talk to me about the fundamentals and as a complete novice I think even I could get it to work! Cheap too! Mark

Yes... but No! I'm not talking about taking engineering to the finite degree, but what comes out of the showroom boxed and packaged by the marketeers for our consumption. So just buying a big capacity V8 doesn't guarantee you anything. If BMW can get circa 350bhp AND MOST IMPORTANTLY similar...

Peewee, where did you get that fitting to come off the block??? ] Cheers M

Did you really burn the piston the piston or is that tyre smoke residue sucked into the cylinder! ;) ha ha
