mycarhasposessedme: Looking good.

Welcome to Lextreme I have not seen anybody do a GT40 replica with an 1UZFE yet, so you might be the first. There have been other kit cars thou, check out this F40 in Zew Zealand. He used a Porche G50 gearbox in his.

Ross Clarke: Do post pictures if you go this route as I think there are more people interested in the ITB's from 1quadcams.

Welcome to Lextreme. You have a company in NZ that do individual throttle bodies for the 1UZFE engines: 1uzquadcam.co.nz They also do all the other parts you will need for the ITB + camshafts and some other odds'n'ends to these engines.

LEX-GEM I have taken some measurements of the engine bay of my Kadett, and it might be possible to squeeze in the 1UZ if I remove the bottom part of the inner wings + remove a fair bit of the chassis rails.... As I say, everything is possible if you want it enough and I...

You can just see the pipe from cylinder 2 beneath the engine mount and the crossmember.

Fitted to the car, the left side was a pain. All exhaust pipes have to be on the inside of the steering shaft as the speedo cable, brake pipes and fuel pipes goes on the outside.

Anyway, back to the Sierra. Here is some pictures of the headers. They are a tri-Y design, the inside dia. of the first parts is 38.4 mm ( 1.51" ). The next part will be around 1.75", I don't have those parts, so I can't say for certain yet. Both headers must clear the chassis...

Nice ! These looks beautiful, good job.

supratool: I have seen one of these with a Ford 302 engine in it and it was tight ! The problem was the exhaust, the guy that had done it had removed chunks of the inner wings to get the engine in. The gearbox tunnel also needed extensive surgery to get the auto box to fit. Of course...

mycarhasposessedme and deankdx Yes, it is simmilar to your Gemini and it's a shaite box, but what do you expect it's a GM...... There is a guy that have squeezed in a Chevy SB with twin turbos in one, so I should be able to persuade a 1UZFE to take it's place. I'm more worried about the...

Sigh, where to begin..... Don't you just hate it when they go and change the rules on you ! I will not get the Sierra roadworthy with the twin turbo setup, new rules/interpretation from 1st January, so I'm changing "the plan" again I'll just get it on the...

Take it easy guys, I kan feel the love in here.......:-) Back to the subject, COP's. I have gotten 4 Honda CBR coils and they do fit with some slight mods. I need to get my new confusor up and running so I can post some pics about what mods are needed to get them to fit the 1UZFE ( some...

I'm getting a set of Honda coils later today, the problem is I don't have an running 1UZFE engine to test on. I do have a Autronic SMC and a R500 cdi floating around so I probably have to test the setup on a mates Volvo ! I have also spoken to Honda about the CBR xxx cdi...

You will need the usual rebuild and prep work. What about one of these too ?: Gear Vendors

A couple of things with a water/air top mount intercooler. 1. Where will the throttlebody be, before or after the intercooler ? If you mount the throttlebody before the intercooler you better be 102 % certain the core is leak free. The suction from the engine will draw water into...

It looks like the Honda coils can be used. I'd had a look around and I have found pictures of them. I have also found pictures of the loom connecting them. Since these coils are meant for CDI ignition and the Honda's already have CDI boxes, what if you use the Honda CDI box too ?

I'm subscribing and I'm waiting eagerly...:-)

And I have found my car of choice for my next swap.

Sigh, it always takes an engineer to burst the bubble....... ( with regards to verylost...;-)
