    guys i need some pics

    Buy the cheapest possible lathe you can find, littlemachineshop items or such, and buy a set of toolbits with it, you can do it yourself. it's not black magic 'n all. second hand mig or tig welder also works wonders on these. something like this will see you sorted for making parts like Ed's...

    Twin M45 charged 1uzfe project taking shape

    Exactly the reason I bought one Zuffen. the idea is that I can tell my girlfriend that "the more parts I make the cheaper it gets" hihihihi. there will probably be much more to be turned up before the engine runs. @Justin, I was a little skeptical at first to, but when you calculate all...

    my individual throttle bodies for my 1uz :

    Nice piece of kit! begs for a set of cams, do you plan to run them open or will there be an airbox over the trumpets? Pipercross makes nice filters to suit paired webbers, 2 of those should look pretty good, they have uncut plates so you can make them fit. if you don't like foam, I think K$N...

    1uzfe in a Lotus Esprit

    I do agree that a porsche can probably build to be stronger than the Cima one, but you cannot possibly get a g50 in the technical area where a Cima is. we're talking a Fully synchronised helical geared, REAL SEQUENTIAL (not some wannabe flipper thingy) counting 6 gears build to handle upto...

    1uzfe in a Lotus Esprit

    Contact Wanni albertini, he had 2 boxes a T 756 H - 6 speed H patern and the same but sequential on spare a few moths back for prices that would put a well build G50 in the naughty corner. (ie less money twice as strong) they where in the 10K euro region and 11K for the sequential...

    180 deg headers

    Jake, that's primarily due to longer primaries, different silencers than any flatplane you know, lack of rpm. I think if you'd take a +/-8000 rpm 1uz red line, have decent silencers ie NON cherrybomb/usa style but chamber dampers (don't know in english) alla ferrari lambo audi, and can...

    supercharger hp

    5550hp seems a bit steep. a dozen m112's might do the trick.... :) I suppose you could very easily go over 580 givven your engine can take the load, twin rotrex chargers would be the best of both worlds, think koenigsegg power curves, 800bhp+ upto 1000bhp+ on bio fuel. by my knowledge noone...
