VolcoM, Yes please, if another intake can be made I would be very interested. I have the SM4 and decided to use low impedance injectors to try to get better idle control. My engine build has had too many delays but I plan to use COP's and remove the distributors. Good luck, it looks great.

http://www.autronic.com/page_files/techdata.htm Here is a site that might help with the SM4.

Volcom, Nice looking work. Really like the intake. Interested in making another one to sell??? What was the source of the 90mm throttle body? With the SM4 are you using low impedance injectors? With the SM4 and 8x MSD are you using wasted spark or did you use a multiplexer? I ask these questions...

xirforever, What you are learning in your studies is not necessarily what you will need to know in the work environment. My self being 30 plus years out of school, I might not be qualified to comment about current curriculum and standards. The institution of school is in itself a means to judge...

Two big sports here are water buffalo racing and elephant polo. Pub crawling is popular but not a sport yet.

Rugby on the other hand is brutal. Bumper sticker a few years ago, "Give blood, play Rugby". Ever wonder about why some players tape their ears down? I think it is to keep them on their heads and not get them torn off. .

Jibby, Cricket is the one where they throw a ball at three sticks. I think you were describing field hockey which started as an American Indian game. Neither can compare to hitting a little white ball 400 yards to put it in a hole you can not see from that distance and getting paid 10 mill $ to...

http://sc1.att.mindcomet.net/articles/automotive/technology/36158/ I just bought a new truck and it has a variable turbo. Been on Diesels for about ten years I guess and new to the I/C application. Kind of a neat turbo.

Ian, I believe we spoke on the phone before. Please contact me by PM if you wish. I happened to see a non-VVT-i engine in Pattaya last week. My twin turbo project is still a struggle to get completed. Slow but sure. Welcome to the site and let me know if you neeed anything. Andrew k.

I had read ALL the posts about the Lextreme site before and during the time I was putting together my order for parts from Lex for my ongoing 1UZ build. I am a long way from the States and had little hope of any kind of recourse if I was cheated in this transaction. I spent a great deal of time...

This is a great looking intake manifold. What ever happened?

Lex, I have not looked into this too far but what I am considering is to relocate the throttle body to the front using my existing '96 1UZ air intake chamber. I would route the intercooler outlet the the front feed TB. I think I would have to make a spacer plate to fit between the manifold and...

I finally woke up and realized that Hillbilly had relocated the side feed throttle body on an early 1UZ air inlet chamber to the front feed shown in his photo with the twin turbo. Hillbilly, how did this work out for you?

Steve should remember that here in Thailand there is a saying, "the best looking woman isn't" (a woman). The language is gender specific. A man says the word yes (khrap) with a different word than a woman (kaa). What Steve is referring to is what is called "a woman of the second category"...

Ryan, I am thinking about trying to adapt a front feed TB to my "97 1uz. No real reason except to shorten the piping from the intercooler outlet and make a more balanced look to the engine. I also want to have both valve covers exposed. maybe it is a silly idea. I am a transplant from...

Interesting. I took the train from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Hiked up Diamond Head from Waikiki Blvd. Spent time at Sandy beach, toilet bowl, flew over the Nazca plains. Now if I can just figure out how to adapt my side feed 1UZ throttle body to a front type. If I can find a way, I think it...

Ryan, I just read your bio here. Seems like we might have some things in common other than 1UZ's. Like, Lima Lama and I went to Mckinley High on Oahu.

Today I spent the time to read every post in this thread. My hat is off to Ryan and his effort to post information and great photos as his project(s) progressed. I am installing oil jets this weekend as a result of something I learned here. I think anybody doing (or considering) an engine build...

Will do. Should be a fun time.

I have said before, any member coming here just let me know and I will do my best to help out however I can. I have been working here for over ten years. I will be meeting with Jeff Dellow and his wife in October this year. Rumor has it a California member will be here this year and we will...
