    Manual gearbox 1UZ drivers - in 'ere

    For a manual I pick a diff ratio based on r/km in 1st and top gear with consideration given to torque at cruising speed and being able to get moving in 1st without flogging the clutch to death, for auto r/km in top... for road use. I guess you might want to use other criteria for off-road or racing.

    Supercharger Sizing

    There's a useful calculator on the sprintex site http://www.sprintex.com.au/files/Blower_Calculator.xls It doesn't have every make & model and make quite a few arbitrary assumptions, but you can hack it to include extra's. I have an Autorotor OA424 which is 2.4l/rev (not on a 1UZ). There's...

    Supercharging AND Turbocharging

    Yes all out power and efficiency is the win for T/C. But as a daily driver it will be a top end pig. All my discussion is based on a real drivable road car. An engine spending most of its time above 5,000rpm will not be in a road car. T/C is an absolute no brainer for a track car All the...

    Twin turbos or supercharger?

    I 've been trying to find someone that has actually done it. To my mind the cheapeast/fastest/easiest way to go is to just resleeve with big bore pistons. I've seen talk of 98mm giving 4978cc being very doable. But I have yet to find a real person that has *actually* done either bore or...

    Supercharging AND Turbocharging

    search for twincharge/ing on http://www.performanceforums.com Also http://www.hi-flow.com/HP7Super.htm has good info on Autorotor There's no specific twincharge site that I know of. IMHO the Lysholm and Opcon Autorotor superchargers make twincharging redundant. They have the boost from...
