    I need a new project

    Well done a good purchase. A cam and a tune will squeeze a bit more out of the LS3 too. I remember getting the interior out of a wrecked RS2000 Escort many moons ago in the UK and found a finger attached to part of a hand under the seat. I just left it there, I bet one of the junkyard dogs...

    10 Second 1UZ-FE Silvia

    Well done, something to be said about boosting the hell out of a a stock 1uz with a huge arse truck turbo............ Good to see the Adaptronic e420c delivered the goods too. I was thinking to upgrade to the 1280 and go full sequential injection and COP non wasted spark but I think I will...

    Standalone ECU Going Adaptronic thread!

    Well done Khris, I presume you are now using the LC1 for the tuning and the AEM for reference? Don't forget to data log the 1/8 mile run it will be interesting to see how it runs now.

    Running fuel pump without fuel pump computer

    Get a secretarty who is good at dictation..... I agree it should read switched ignition power if you use a changeover relay.

    Running fuel pump without fuel pump computer

    try this and use the oil pressure switch signal. I have used this on several installs now and it works perfect. Change over relay is easy to source and replace if you ever need to.

    I need a new project

    Coyote is on my shopping list for sure. Reliable 750 hp with economy as a daily drive is easily achievable for around 15k. 65 Mustang convertible is on my one day wish list which will then get the coyote engine RHD conversion, decent suspension and brakes. Good T (6 cyl) code convertibles...

    DIY Smoke Machine for Leak Testing?

    Typical Italian, loud emotional and dribbles when under pressure. Just be thankful it's not a military vehicle or it would have 5 reverse gears.

    DIY Smoke Machine for Leak Testing?

    Fuel vapour permiates through the hose if it is old or the wrong spec, I doubt if you will get smoke at a coupe of psi to do the same. I have some info on fuel hose somewhere I will send it to you. Under pressure some hoses can end up leaking quite a bit of fuel vapour. Many years ago in an...

    Midmounted Mazda Minitruck

    Well done keep posting the vids. Some more info on the gearbox conversion would be good. Still can't quite get my head around what you are doing, just be careful you don't end up with 5 reverse gears and one forward...... Love Wellington I was there last Monday for work and called in at...

    intercooling..whats wrong with air to air?

    This is a good option for those people running a GM M90. A W2A core in the manifold just can't extract enough heat energy. I am yet to see any good numbers from such a set up. Yes it will help but it certainly won't drop the temperatures anywhere near as much as a FMIC. I have gone water meth...

    Another day on the dyno

    My Mrs had an email yesterday from paypal to tell her to verify her account details, funny thing is she doesn't have a paypal account so there must be scams going on at the moment. I am going to try an orifice in the vacuum line of mine as well as I have noticed that the actuator can flick...

    Another day on the dyno

    Harrop have them for about $25. Part number 60-211386 P/N 211386 Actuator. This is for the bolt on type. I tried to get one a couple of years ago and Holden would only sell me a whole supercharger. Can you measure the size of the orifice please

    I need a new project

    Use a 4x4 Hilux chassis reversed so the engine is at the back and chop up a Hiace shell for the cab over ute style body. Use two Hilux front ends the rear one fixed in place (or you could try 4 wheel steer too if you were game) flip the diffs or crown and pinions as required. I think you might...

    Vendor Shine Body Kit is Now Available

    Nice ride well done. I do like the SC, I would have left all the badges off it for the clean look. I wish we could get cars painted for $2k here, a paint job like that here in Aus would be $10k plus.

    I need a new project

    Looks to me like a Hiace chopped up to look like a ute would do it. The 1UZ fits easily enough, large FMIC and a cut out above it to direct cold air to the engine with a hilborn style top hat for air intake with butterflys under a perspex cover in the cab. The exhausts will of course be stacks...
