Umm, you might want to do a little studying on compressors, thermal dynamics and fluid dynamics before you make the statment that "no turbo is really too big" Umm, have you ever heard of surge limit or know what the surge line is on a compressor map??? Im guessing not based on your statement...

The first question that has to be addressed here is how much power are you looking at producing?? You cant just say "whats the biggest" cause it might not be the best depending on your goal.. Turbos should never be chosen based on what will and what wont fit or work, the should be chosen based...

Cylinder bore size and compression effects are the one of the biggest problems with using a 1JZ or a 1G head. The 1G has a 75MM bore chances are, using this head on the 81MM bore 1GZ will cause a drastic increase in compression not to mention, I hightly doubt that the bore spacing is even...

Rod, I fully agree with you in that setup and yes i have seen that done before. But I dont see a 1JZ or 1G head offering a substantial flow increase over the stock 1GZ head to warrent all the work and cost. In the Rover / Vauxhaul set up, you are killing more birds then just breathing with one...

Yeah, but thats because volvo bought the block casting molds from ford...

John (JBrady) that is exactly what I was thinking of trying with the wedge adapters to install a vvti intake on to a non vvti engine. We used to do this all the time with rotary engines (although not a wedge) to install 12a intakes onto 13b engines and vise versa... Do you know if the bolt...

Speaking of those Jake, I love the one that the guy does using 1300cc Busa engines... to make a 2.6L V8 (350 to 375hp tiny V8 that spins 13000rpm's) I want one... Hmmmm, Jake, roadster engine??????? Doing it with a bike engine is a lot simpler to cause of the way the cams are driven from the...

What V8 was this and what 4cyl. head was it??? Were is the proof that this was done and were is the proof that it was advantagous? Yes, anything can be done if you have enough money, but is it really worth it???? I dont know about you, but I know that Im not going to spend thousands of...

Pro, even if a 1jz or 1g head would bolt on, by the design of the head and the cam orientation, you would have to have a mirror casting which does not exist. Those heads can not have the cams turned around to give you the oposite side head like the early 1uz (pre VVTi) heads. In order for it to...

Pre VVTI that is... VVTI 1uz's are mirror casting...

If you look closely, that trans is not attached to the engine nore is there any adapter to attach it....

Yes, it should have a pretty significant effect on reving. I have an aluminum flywheel on mine and definitly seems to wrap up quicker then Jake's current setup which is an Iron flywheel....

John, do they use the pressurize air on the compressor side or exhaust side on those industrial engines that you spoke of?

All I did for mine was bolted the two header (left and right) together with a rubber gasket between them and made a cap for each exit end. I used fittings that I made to tread into the O2 sensor bungs that had a 1/4NPT female thread and one had a pressure gauge and the other a shop air fitting...

Not a bad idea, but I see a few problems that were not mentioned besides the extemely hign amperage draw. 1st off, they are talking about cooling it with air from the compressor, well depending on the boost level, that is pretty damn hot air. i.e., not going to cool it to well.... 2nd...

Any year SC 400 parts will work. I might have a set of the mount stands I could part with. I'll have to check though.

The stud itself only needs to be hand tight in the block. If you tighten them too much, you risk distorting the top couple of threads.. I've never used an allen wrench to put them in, just clean dry thread and just finger / hand tight and I have never had one give me any problems even on a...

His manifold go up and forward, not down and forward.... There is nothing wrong with his flanges as long as he intended them to go up and forward...

Flipping the ring gear does absolutely nothing. When you flip it, the beveled edges are still on the wrong side of the tooth. once flipped, the bevel is still on the right side if viewed from the starter side but it has to be on the left side when viewed from the starter side. No matter what...

No, the alt. is mounted on the back of the engine for clearance and drivin off a Jackshaft..
