The pics in Zoom are from Motorvation 07 Perths biggest car show of the year. http://www.motorplex.com.au/motorvation/index.html Car will be in Zoom as a full feature in the next month or so. Apparently one of the guys from Zoom saw it at Motorvation and asked thier local photographer to find...

Have found a short term fix for this problem :) Went out and purchased a Bosch Compressor bypass valve fitted it to the intake pipe just in front of the TB.. Problem solved :) Have been told i need to get larger exhaust housings and wheels to fix it properly but the CBV will do it for now...

I know of a guy selling one for $900 will have to check he still has it and if it has a/c and p/s..

I deleted those pipes on my 1uz out of ignorance. Once i got the engine running i had 2 temp guages fitted one on the front one and one on the rear, i found that my motor had a 10 to 15 degrees temp differance from front to back, with the back being the cooler of the 2. When i recently rebuilt...

Was going to get some Argo rods but funds are just too tight at the moment so will go with a set of early ones, which i picked up for next to nothing from a mate. After spending near on $15 000 on this conversion my wife is getting a bit pissed off with me, already put off the europe holiday...

Do you intend on trying to acheive 400 rwhp with the stock 2uz rods, exsperiance tells me they wont handle it.

Motor is standard bore size, so it has not been rebuilt with later rods. First pic is broken rod with what appears a good one next to it. Second pic is side view of good one, we thought lol. Third one is of top of piston. These rods measure exactly the same as 2uz and 3uz rods as quoted by Lextreme.

No didnt quite get that far :) Maybe this time i'll have more time...........

After chasing gaskets etc from toyota it appears my motor is from a 95ish ls400 which has smaller rods and shorter pistons with comp at 10.5 to 1. Which is great in na form as it has more horsepower but not so good when you turbo it.

Had no problem with detonation at all, i will do some measurments of the rods tomorrow but it looks like they are the same size as 2uz rods. I need to research this a bit more.

Well it was fun while it lasted (about 2 weeks). But the motor packed it in last saturday night while racing some guy in a ute with a modded Gen3. Only consolation was that I was beating him at the time :) What I first thought was a shattered piston turned out to be a broken rod as well. Took...

Anything up to 32` advance within the 0 to 100kpa maps(off boost), then around 15` advance within 100 to 200 kpa map's (boost). Hope this is what you mean as i'm not a tuner, bit of a novice when it comes to reading the Kalmaker maps. No water injection ,if that's what you meant,

Dual 3" system all the way with no cat's and just the 2 mufflers, it is very quiet on idle with no droning at all but sounds sweet when you open the throttle :)

Engine is stock apart from the modified throttle body setup which is just a stock 70mm commodore TB(would be similar to the one on the older buick v6 i think) welded to the front of the plenum, i did that so i had all the delco sensors to run with the delco 808 ecu. 2 GT28r turbo's on custom...

Car went on the dyno today, i,m not one for talking up dyno figures but i was speechless when i saw the power figures. And the car is an aboslute animal on the road.

This is exactly what is happening :) What is a true compressor bypass valve ?

Just took a couple of pics of the waste gate actuators, as you can see i had to modify one of them by moving the mounting bracket from the front of the compressor housing to the rear of it thus also had to shorten the actuator lever. Would this have any effect?

OK should of said this before, thought i had.... But it also has this problem when i drive the car. I can drive along at about 3000 rpm in any gear and its fine but if i decrease rpm slightly i get the surge. Under accelaration its ok and when changing gears the bov vents and i may get a little...

The compresor wheels dont stall but there is definately air coming out of the inlets. Thanks everyone for taking time to help nut this out. I have attached another pic that shows where vacum lines etc are placed. BOV is a non adjustable one but will borrow one tonight and see what that...

Turbo's have internal waste gates.... Waste gate vacum line comes off the intake pipe halfway between the intercooler and the throttle body, then goes to manual boost controler and then tee's off to the waste gate actuator's...
