can't find any details on the IC system used. could it be.... looks like a nice and compact desing. BUT 5k$ is a terrible lot of money, you could buy a complete Ultima body for that.... Grtz Thomas

that's also the stock engine Gardner Douglass use for their cars. they have LS2's and LS7's now. very expensive in this part of the world. the debate about pushrods or not is not worth anything to me, if it works it works. the LS7 in Steve's Lola T70 makes 630rwhp through a G50 box, and...

Rotrex and Antonov are allready in buisness with suparchargers that are partially drivven by electric motors, no reason they can't make one fully electric. if rotrex where weak they wouldn't be on the koenisegg. grtz Thomas

Hmmm thought so after a good nights sleep, will be done with TB's before the chargers. anyway to stay a little offtopic with you Erol, that's nice to drive on the road, but there's a german guy who went a little bit further than that. Formula 3 car road registered, comments are in german, in...

nah helas no salty stuff around here in europe. didn;t even know there was a diference in salt vs tramac regarding top speeds..... still 106mph is not fast. (maybe expalin in new topic) sorry for topic highjack! grtz Thomas

Site says World fastest motorhome, and shows a very ugly 6wheel thingy that tops out at 106mph, sorry to say but theres vast amounts of VWTDI based motorhomes over here in europe that would leave that thing sniffing dust within 2 seconds...... and ringtaxi's VW bus probably does close to...

one difference in chargers is that the 4agze has a clutch and the mini ones don't, I can't stop them from spinning via the ECU. grtz Thomas

And the Saga continues. after lots of time not working on the engine, I thought it would be wise to at least get SC #2 on the engine before the years gone, (pictures tommorow) there's a small problem I keep encountering at the moment, The BMW M45 chargers have a very odd connection tube to...

hmmm audi's rev much higher standart, RS6 and R8 engines do 8250rpm stock so can't be it.... I think a new modular ford engine of some sorts? (don't have those over here) OT: the Le-mans diesel did about 5600rpm in the limiter powerband is from 2700 to 5000rpm it sounds like a wel tuned...

I asume nobody has ever heard an GT1 Aston martin DBR9 chasing a GT1 Corvette C6-R on track? that aston is a whole different ballgame. this years (07) the Panoz cars where deffenatly the loudest LS7's running around the lemans track so I lookud up some footage of an Esperante and an DB9R...

Come on guys, since when is changing the engine, when valve clearance is out, the solution..... sounds the same as buying a new car when the tyres wear out, "since you won't have the tools to change the tyre" nahh if you're uncertain of valve adjustment David has a nice tutorial on this site...

Hey Benji, well for one thing. it doesnt always fit like in a T70 the place the driveshafts are is not usable. they need to be further back. + they're expensive from hat I understand majoola only had the diff replaced by an LSD one, don't know which make that was but probably not porsche...

You can make up an "hold the crank pully steady while I give the lockbolt a big wallop with a hammer" Tool like I did, Just get hold of a piece of realy hard wood, like 3" by 1" or more and about a meter long, drill a hole in the middle of the wood the size of the socket that's needed to go...

How sure are you on valve clearance on the newer heads? if not sure about than it's up to you, but checking valve clerance and adjusting if needed seems logical anyway.... regardless of which heads you keep. grtz Thomas

Now that's usefull guy's hopefully tommorow the second charger will go on and this was exactly what i was wondering about, perfect timing. As for the measurement of the internal length. I always do that with a piece of very thin stripped electrical wire, you can tie that very nice to a...

Hey I saw that engine at 24h-lemans last summer, and heard it.... never thought 2x 32 mm could produce that much noise kept me awake all night long...... which was a good thing offcourse. anyway a lot more can be put through restrictors that size when presure is added, AER makes over 800hp TT...

Nah not a meter justin, the 1uz is 65.5cm long the distance inbetween the driveshaft centers and the bellflange is 18cm on a un1, so that should fit no problem, G50 is longer I know. and since you'll be better of making a new spaceframe like subframe for the rear to acoomodate the new...

was thinking, Justin if you really have plans for making a middy out of a fwd/e car you should include yourself on the locostbuilders forum, the chassis and mid engine sections are very usefull, expecially in terms of suspension geometry and design of wisbones and shocks etc etc, most of the...

hacksaw the enginebay firewall out of an mkII MR2 put the 3sge on ebay, and stuff 1uzfe/G50 combo in it. much easier methinks. north south install could be a first for an mr2 I think. Grtz Thomas

Hey Justin, to run the box upside down, No need to flip gears or so(if you even can), unless you're building a porsche set-up car (rear engine) the only other thing I know of, is making the top airvent the filler-plug and the original filler-plug the airvent. (story is porsche desinged the...
