wouldn't that be nice..... coates to desing a head for an engine that's no longer in production. they've been around for ages but I have never seen anyone use one of those. they're supposed to be very very good. kinda costly to I think. grtz Thomas

NICE! keep us informed on the torque curve once you have it dynoed. what do you expect from the rpm range, on the plenum vs the cams, would seem the cams will make it run out of breath sooner the the intake will now do...... what top RPM are you running anyway? I will try and map all the...

I've solved mine different, I took the bridge to the mill, and machined an angle and the rear top part out of it, about 11- 15mm, then welded that shut with a piece of angle ally, went pretty well, despite the fact that the cast alloy a pretty nasty stuff to weld onto T6 (not a pro here...

had a 4age like that once, made an awfull mess of an otherwise shiny enginebay, I have never vented the dipstick guide, I do my catch cans with a return line towards the sump (above the normal oil level, that line also takes care of vacuming out the cranckcase from below, + the normal cover...

hmmm looks like a welding session is in order then. I will try and make 3 flanges and connect everything up on the original bridge. I was wondering if anyone has a flowchart of (from the factory workshop manual)??? Grtz Thomas

jack can you perhaps point out how you would achieve that? It would be very VERY VVVEEEERRRYYY convinient for me to NOT have the front waterbridge in place. I just cannot find a coolant flowchart of the 1uzfe, I do have them for most 4cyl toyota but not the 8cylinder. I thought of modifying...

thanks for clearing that up chris! the oiling issue is easily overcome. if you even figure it out, please drop a line! Grtz Thomas

excuse my ignorance but, where there pre 1998 VVTi heads? you don't see 1uzfe VVT engines overe here in holland at all! so never come across one. basicly the question should be, which VVTi head would my 1992 1uzfe non VVT engine. grtz thomas ps anyone know the bore center of a honda...

Hey Cobber, yeah I know Doug for quite a few years now! nice bloke and has joint the same forum as I did many many moons ago, (locostbuilders.co.uk) it will however be a street car, though be it a very quick street car... also the ocaasional visit to germany's Ring will probably be in order...

Gardner douglas T70 round tube chassis, aka the mother of all spaceframe chassis, i've seen an Ultima GTR chassis (not bad as you know as it holds several world records) next to a GD T70 chassis at the factory and boy does the GTR chassis look flimsy compared to the GD thing. here's a few...

is that really true? the vvti heads being so much better than the early heads? David you stated that the VVTI heads fit on the early engine block, but wasn;t there an isue with the cam phasing actuator oil line not matching up? I'm have the manifold for the early heads allmost finnished...

I have 6 and 8mm lenzes, those where with the welder when i bought it. I have finally found a local company willing do do buisness with me (normaly they only deliver to other company's) they have a sort of open shop thingy on friday afternoon, so tommorow I will go and look if they have sheets...

there's one vital tip again! the brushing direction, I never thought of it like that but it makes a LOT of sense. I understand whats happening in the welding process and the way the current chooses it's path, also on the balance part. I've played around to see the results and they're just as...

top info indeed, I need to go shopping for the lanthaneted tungsten tips,m I do't have those mine supposed to be thoriated if the label's correct. I cannot keep the tip sharp it balls up after a few mm or seconds I don;t have foot controll on the machine helas, but it is a squarewave and...

hey Edz turn down the correct amount of bolts down into a very sharp point, place those bolts into the bellhousing, put the belhousing down on a piece of new alloy sheet, and tap the belhousing around the bolt heads very gently so the points leave a mark. you have now got a template of the...

hey Edz, cleanliness is indeed key, I have also got dedicated everything now and it sure helps, one thing I keep having trouble with is in doing an inside angle weld is the arc jumping from one piece to the other, and when it does it takes quite some time for a decent weldpool to form, do...

Hey Justin, Lots still to do, the engine intake system is by far the biggest challenge, when the IC mani is completed these are the things still to do. Make flanges for the SC intake Make flange and Y pipe for the TB(s) Make flange and piping vor the BPV(s) Buy and connect Omex 710 ECU...

Ah thanx for that! could come in handy having a sideways view. grtz Thomas

he Justin! M. is the guy that sent me the alloy tubes! nice fella, and sure knows what he's doing. still can't believe that so many are now using this, when I opted for it 4 years ago everybody was very very skeptical. goes to show: that all presure loss that is measurable, can be...

Update, just before christmas, my beloved Sylva Striker finaly got sold, so with the funds in hand I orderd a Gardner Douglas chassis and all the bits to build it up to rolling chassis stage. they will need approx 16 weeks to build the chassis (lots is custom such as rollbar heights etc etc)...
