Good work cobber! piss funny!!

Dave, the most practical, is hydrauliclly driven. May be able to use the hydraulic fan pump to run a hydraulic motor in the boot that drives the alternator. You could even mount it under your seat if you wanted to! Though about doing this in my boat at one stage to get keep the...

Yeah, I live in a small country town, and there is not much here in the radiator department. Might give the yellow pages a go if no one can reccomend a supplier of these bits.

I'm interested in the earlier Toyota V8's before the 1UZ was released. Please post any info or photos that you may have. Cheers, Andrew

Supercharged or turbo would be easy to setup on a jet boat and will work wonders. Increasing power naturally aspirated is probably more expensive.

I want to build my own air to water intercooler. Because it is going in a boat and will have fresh river water (freshwater) running tthrough it I want to build it in brass. Does anyone know a supplier that sells cores and end tanks?

I thought they were late 80ies, had EFI ect?

Anyone got the correct engine name (code number) or photos?

In my Autronic manual, there is a cool down setting (ithink that is what it was called) that gives a lumpy idol. Once you accelerate, it goes back to nornal engine settings. Anyone know anything about it? Kdog would be the man?

Tomo, how are you getting on???

Also auto tune dosen't work on boat engines. Ray Hall told me this himself.

Have you thought about the early (pre 1uzfe) toyota V8. I think they were called a 4v and a 5v? They came out in the mid 90ies I think and were 3.5 litre from memory. Saw a couple advertised by japanese wrecker a few years ago. I think they a pushrod though? Anyone know much about them. I...

Heres some other pulley sizes from other members Jordy with his M112 Jag intercooled setup 65mm pulley = 10psi Oz Venom standard 73mm Jag pulley on M112 = 7psi I am suprised with these pulley sizes. I would have thought higher boost would be achieved. Obviously engine setup and manifold...

Just starting to get moving on the intercooled setup again. Will hope to be finished by september. You would be suprised how few poeple actually have a supercharged engine properly up and running. It is hard to get real info on supercharged setups.

Mate, go for it. Sounds like it has enough volume, just confirm that it will self prime! Have a look at some drysump setups, and copy their resovior oil tank setups. Most seem to be simple and have a de-aeration design by the swirling effect as the oil enters the tank. Have a google for...

Cool, what are they using it for? They muster water buffalo in northern Australia with these, but usually chev powered.

Measured it tonight. It is 62mm on the outside (rathetr than measuring from the bottom of the grooves and produces about 7.5psi. Actual boost will vary with inlet manifold, extractor, or cam changes ect. Mine is dead stock but has marine 'log' style exhaust manifolds and a fabricated inlet...

All eatons can be mounted in any position so long as they are kept fairly level, so that the oil can get to the bearings in the snout. You can mount them upside down, or on their side.

Mate, I will measure mine when I get a chance. It runs 7.5 psi. Cheers, Andrew

The most common is the Ford Thunderbird imported from USA and then probably the Holden Commodore V6. Thunderbirds are worth around $600- $1000 and Holdens $800 to $1400 for a unused 2nd hand one. The Thunderbirds are fairly compact, but don't come with a bypass valve, where as the holden version...
