That makes sense BlackUZZ31, thanks for the clarification. Im not really looking forward to the loss in tq/hp but instead want this for days when im planning 2+ hours of driving on the freeway where I dont use the v8's abilities anyway. If im not in a rush, I usually keep it at 60mph or so...

Not saying that I dont believe you but can you elaborate on this some? I initially ruled this out as I assumed that the weights of the rotating assembly wont not be changed. Would it matter if I left the plugs installed so that pumping losses stay preserved? Also, a single coil being removed...

Good points XR8TT I just wish I had the cheese to afford a t-56 w/ .50:1 spec'd 6th gear. That would shave a few hundred rpm at cruising easy. But being realistic about spending money that could easily go towards gas, I may just install a the 3.20:1 final out of the supra TT and make the...

Like you said XR8TT, the weight of the big LS is the biggest issue I can forsee. 6 cyl is fine but 4 is pushing it for freeway use. If I can manage that magical 55mph cruise speed I think i'll live with the complete absence of passing ability ;) Im always sitting at 55-60mph knowing that about...

Just found some details off planet soarer regarding 4 cylinders: Driving the car up a ramp on 4cyls should not be an issue. I've had to limp mine home a couple of km's a few times on 4cyls. Sure its slow and has no power, but it has enough to get the car up to 60kph. Unplug the 4 respective...

Very clean solutions! Most people use about half the runner length when ditching oem but as said above, best of both worlds... impressive indeed.

Sounds like you have given this some thought. Thanks for contributing. I would assume a carburated application would be hard to cut fuel to individual cylinders and your right, cats would throw a red hot fit from all the extra HC's. Of course taking it to the extreme, a way to disengage the...

Thats why I remove the spark plugs from each deactivated cylinder. Removed spark plug = no pumping losses except for the piston itself. I tried it a few days ago and it worked great on 2 cylinders and still driveable. I want to try unplugging an entire coil and try on 4 cylinder mode to see if...

wow, just noticed the Lextreme statistics... 17,000 members and the 120,000 posts have got to eat some serious bandwidth.

Is it possible to offer a solid diff + sub frame version? If you can have them machined out of poly or delrin, how much more would it cost for them in aluminum? Battle version + titan motorsports have some but priced too high.

Nice find! I turned my speakers up for this one :) Switzer's 800 wheel package for the GTR has got to be right there with a 1000bhp bugatti (unsure if it was a supersport? Switzer also offers 900whp kits with e85 and if so, that would explain the huge gap! Both cars have close curb weights...

xspsi6 If you buy the 1st year that the R35 is offered you'll save some cheese and the best part? You can have the ECU reflashed @ Nissan to update the boost and tune to that of the 2012 GTR! I read about it in motor trend. Very cool I thought.

Thats crazy ash. I guess if it works dont fix it! I guess the port/cam profile are the real secrets eh?

Time for Toyota to re-kindle the Supra indeed...

2J torque convertor is different than UZ and if your looking for a higher stall version, Lex sells units for both on this site in any stall you need. Very good price w/ warranty.

I had a set that I sold to friend because I ran out of cash but the Lextreme cams had very consistent lobe finish. Indistinguishable from stock. I dont know what you mean by "squared off" but a cam profile is a cam profile wether it be a billet cam, cast cam or regrind. When you gain lift and...

Lextreme.com sells regrinds in 2 different profiles that can safely use the shim over setup and cost a lot less. More food for thought.

I used a Synapse brand thats adjustable but its also crap. Internal seal failed and started an engine fire. You really dont need any ratios less then 12:1 under boost... unless your only pushing like 3psi. Cartech's unit is adjustable tho: http://www.lextreme.com/FMU.htm
