Surprisingly , the results compared to the original diesel are fantastic ! The flywheel is rather heavy and this can be felt while driving. We thought the "little" v8 would really be out of its league in the heavy 4 ton F250. Its on par with the std. deisel engine untill 60 kph and then starts...

The tx axles are mostly all worn in the syncro dept. These just are not available anymore and really dont last.The first to second change is also terrible , I have always wanted the feel and quickness of a Jap box.Have done many front box convertions for clients here using the good ol` BMW...

If I remember correctly the "Screaming Eagles "Race team in GTP (I think..) run by the actor guy had problems with the cranks on these engines over 7000 rpm with the std. crank at 600 hp levels....They went to flat plane cranks and the engines were more reliable I believe..They were breaking the...

In leaps and bounds. Almost complete already.Ill pm you for future updates.

Bait-taken. Hello Rod,Relax mate, did you see my question marks with my comments ? Never disputed the info factor here, its just soooo slow .;);) Good to see two pages of posts in just 12 hours here though, this ones on fire !:)

Hey Kiwi, howzit ! (You have heard the expression before..?) Welcome to the most boring forum in the world. Nice project car there, never seen one like that before though. Looks like our South African Nissan Skyline .. Are both engines sans oil caps ? And standing outside in the weather ? Keep...

Good one, thanks. It has helped me with some fitting probs...

I have no trust in any tuners around our parts. I have learn t what there is to learn about all the systems I have ever used and some new ones Im busy with now. I will fill my fuel tank to the brim and after setting up basics and getting a good quality idle I will hit the road. The Innovate 4...

New plugs, exactly the same. Pull the dizzy caps off and both rotors are broken. Ordered new caps and rotors today, will fit them all tomorrow. Im hoping that sorts out the misfiring and spluttering. Anybody still interested in this thread ? Its just the ramblings of my engine conversion and...

Yup, seven days and its here. Started the engine tonight after fitting the new starter. Rather disappointed as its as rough as a bears ass. Missing and spluttering like crazy, changed plugs and it was worse . Using a resistor plug , want to measure total impedance to see if she needs a non...

Power to the crank sensor ?? I thought these are magnetic reluctors, requires no power externally . These put out a varying sine wave of differing magnitude related to rpm only. A Hall sensor requires power. You may have another problem here.

I AM LOVING THIS PROJECT !! Just recieved the Howe slave and bearing from Summit Racing, like a shilling in a sheeps ass ! Made for the W58 box.

Definitely plumb both sides into a single turbo. Keep one stock manifold and custom make the other for the x over inlet and the turbo itself. I may just have a single turbo manifold cast here.It would of course be for my application and not for a std. Lexus or Supra application. May be...

In a situation like this I usually fit my Innovate 4wire quickly, at the end of the exhaust and it will show you exactly what you want to know. Alternatively start her up, rev her until she dies-I presume its very close to the 3000K mark?-whip a plug out and see if its wet with fuel. If its...

David, what are the std. inj. sizes found on the Lexus engine ? Ive seen different inj. and have now got a motor fitted with a lilac or light purple color inj. These seem to be rather large , am I correct ?

Manifold off, the only way. Look at my topic about the Alfa /Lexus build. pics of what needs to come off.Did mine on Saturday. Also took off the water bridge, no go.

Here you go..

Uhm...how do I edit my messages ?

Update, third engine on the engine stand yesterday and come to start time, zip, nothing, buggerall ! Starter motor is U/S ! Off with the upper plenum-not such a pain as its made out to be here- and off with the lower-this one neither ! Took out a very corroded ally starter from the v, its been...
