poida, anything is possible, its just how much you want to spend, and how much time you want to spend on it. Do you know what trans is in the surf????

I believe that some versions of this engine had seperate ecu to trans computer. You may be able to get your hands on one of these, and just get the same outputs from aftermarket ecu to go to std trans computer. Would probably be messy though. There is a company in the states that make them for...

I have started a thread with a pic of the 1uz in my mk1 capri if you are interested. I have more pics available if you would like them.

Well, my camera has finally returned home, and i have some pics for those intereted. Car is a 1970 MK 1 capri. Engine appears to be a 141 crown, or maybe a LS400, not sure yet, still following 1uz thead to find out. Any ways, heres a pic of the eninge in the car. To all those that said it...

My engine, gearbox combo looks very similar to the one in the pics. Maybe it is a later version of the crown engine. MADMONT, what year is your engine from???

Theres a company called MV automatics that can do fully manual electronic controllers for these things that allow them to bew shifted manually for the shifter. I have not had a good look at them yet, but they said it can be done. They are also doing manual valve bodies for the a34xe series...

I would have to have a look at it. My engine had no exhaust manifolds on it when i got it, but i will have a look next time i walk past it. THANX for all the help.

Thanx for that. My plug cover has V8 Four Cam 32 printed on it. So does that make is an LS400 engine then???

THANX Zuffen. Do you know if you can still use the shifter instead of the buttons. I have a pro-ratchet shifter, and would prefer to use this, rather than buttons on steering wheel. THANX for the info.

O.K., i have just read this post, and would like to offer something a little different. I would really appreciate your comments on this. My 1UZ has -toyota badge on plenum - Crown Engine -Oil filter at front of engine under AC pump - LS/SC 400 -Front sump bowl with expernal dip stick -...

Zuffen, do you have any more details on this controller. Just tried to pm kdog, but his message bank is full, popular fellow.

here, here. The perfect Answer. Water - Air is best.

Skid, did you get your answer?????? Supercharger pulley sizing is almost harder than calculating the perfect cam shaft. For us, it is even worse, as there are minimal plug and play kits out there, unlike the ford/holden engines. I always reckon the best thing to do is start with a 1:1 pulley...

Powerhouse performance feom what i have heard folded up, and the guy with the soarer went to work for FAT. I tried about 2 years ago to try and call them to get a price on a sprintex, but could not find them. If you are interested in twin screw chargers, bullet supercars can sell the sprintex's...

If you were going to use the supercharger path, here is something to keep in mind. Superchargers have maximum operating RPM. When used on some thing like a holden 5.7L Boat anchor, that does not rev that well in stock trim, then can use pretty agressive pulleys, and the rpm range of the engine...

XR6 and 300ZX also had coolers mounted in front. Top Mount is not as efficient as front mount, as you have to change the direction of air to get it into the cooler. Even with a bonnet scoop, at speed, all the re-directed air would end up and the rear of the cooler, and heat soak from the...

Definately option 1, for much the same reasons i said before, and that verylost has said. Damien is also correct, both inlet and outlet pipe should be the same size. Yes the air is denser on the outlet, but it is still being pushed by the less dnese air enterering the cooler, so speed will not...

For twin in/out design, you are better off using the 300zx style intercooler, not so many changes in direction of air flow.

Lex, i wouldnt use the 2 seperate chambers on the intakr side, i would just use 1 full chamber, same as the out let. With this design, you would not get as equal a spread across the whole cooler, but if both inputs were pushing against each other, flow thru the cooler would be much smoother...
