Sure don't take it easy, do you John ? Work hard (long periods away from home) Travel hard (lots of flight time) Play hard - we can see that bit !! Congratulations mate ! Oh almost forgot, and getting younger by the day.

Andrew, I would be interested in seeing the results of the A1-turbo ITB manifold castings with short bellmouths, 2 seperate plenums to 2 - 58/60mm TB's used on a turbo engine. At around $1000 a pair they are not to expensive but do need a lot of work to get the dia's up and port matching. Then...

Just a suggestion, What do QM recommend as the flywheel material, cast iron, mild steel or hardened and tempered alloy steel ? The friction plate material is only one half of the story. Coefficient of friction would be different with the various flywheel materials.

Where did you guy's pinch :06: my design for intercooler's with vertical tubes and tapered/top/bottom/semi circular tanks ! :bigok: Been trying to get the 'petrol heads' out here to use this design. More efficient cooling, less pressure loss. "Nah, don't look like me mates ! Just want a...

I agree, they are not the cheapest toy to have !

Having set up a 930 Turbo with increased boost and a Motec ECU - over 550 bhp and 8000 rpm - an absolute rocketship. I have to ask - why would you go down that path ?

Can't answer your question re '95/2000 LS, but when you say better? handling, what do you mean ?

I should clarify my earlier post. When we modify production based engines for more hp/rpm/boost, we are getting into areas where 'angels fear to tread'. With the best components available (which Lextreme's are) things still have a limit. Pushing the boundarys is part of our nature, but we...

Thomas, The 4AGZE still had a clutched drive pulley operated via throttle position. I think a constant drive blower would be better with the TB before the blower. That is how we do it on the S/C hillclimb car. Also a pic of a clubby I had a 300klm race in recently (no 24). Not a 4age but...

I would be very worried, would go grey overnight (if I wasn't already) :Eyecrazy: If it is man made, it is only a question of WHEN it will break, not IF. 30psi boost and 2 100 shots of nitrous is hand grenade territory. Even with all the good bits things still break !

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

Std Cometic gasket is .050" - 1.29mm, same as std Lexus gasket compressed.

I don't know what year the engines have been Peewee, luck of the draw I guess. My '90 Celsior probably has the CSI switch, but I have not had reason to pull the plastic covers yet (fingers crossed).

Thanks John, The ones I have seen here, mainly Japanese imports, don't have provision for the grey switch. Could be specific to the North American market ?

The 1uz has 2 temp sensors, one green, one brown. Almost under the coil on the drivers side front. Don't know which is the gauge, but try unplugging them one at a time.

I have just finished an intercooler and piping for a customers Subaru WRX. He has modified the fuel system with a rising rate regulator - plastic/nylon/teflon line to an in cab pressure gauge. Just imagine what happens WHEN (not if) this line fractures or melts. the consequences can be fatal...

Thanks drifty, now the numbers start to make sense. I knew there was more to it than just the language barrier kiss

Yes, I will believe that ! Not sure, could be wrong, but I think DIN figures are with all auxilliaries as fitted to vehicle, and raw figures corrected to 15 deg C and 29.92". No estimates.

SAE correction factors make ESTIMATES of the power used to drive auxilliary components, water pump/fan/air con/pwr steer/air cleaner etc. Until someone puts their engine on an engine dyno, and quotes the actual air temp and pressure at the time the raw figures were obtained, we will only have...
