Zuffen, Most carbied blown v8's are suck through setup, so I dont think that raw fuel through the blower is that bad. Ive also seen a few articles with the 1UZ fitted with sprintex superchargers and they have an extra injector mounted in the back of the charger. I think "Bullet supercars" do...

4CAMS can help you out with that.

What i believe with respect to carby'd engines, is a rougher inlet tract is better because it allows the air fuel mixture to swirl around somewhat and mix better. Whereas with fuel injection, the injector "sprays" not "squirts" the fuel in and would reduce the need for a rougher surface.

Damn!, you live on Mercury or something.

One 16" fan will pull just more air than 2 x 14" fans!

Drill 2 holes for the pickup? Doesnt the pickup bolt to the front of the engine as per standard. I would have thought they would just modify the original to suit where the new bulge is.

Hey sideshow Sump looks good, I see its a Castlemaine Rod Shop Sump, just wondering how the two rear pan bolts are done. Do you have any other pics off the sump. Im starting mine this weekend and wasnt sure how to do the rear two bolts as it will be a rear bulged pan.

Cheers mate!

Looks sweet Peewee! I have to do the same thing so I can fit extractors between the engine and chassis rails. Is the Part to the right the standard oil adapter with the steel tube cut and fittings welded on.

My first quote NB: No mention of Cast Then i said or tried to say that Cast may be appropriate for steam pipe applications, but maybe not so for exhaust

1. Sorry I was referring to "CAST" steam pipes. 2. I didnt mean to say normal mandrel bent pipes 3. I dont know of any seriously quick cars with stainless steel exhaust manifolds. They more often than not crack from the heat produced, due to the thermal expansion properties from stainless...

If you look at probably 95% percent, if not 100% of serious drag cars running 10secs and under you will find that their manifolds are made from mild steel steam pipe bends. As the name suggests "Steam pipe" cast may be apprpriate, but maybe not so for exhaust manifolds. I believe mild steel is...

As far as drag racings concerned, the latest craze is using dry ice and gets the inlet temps into the negative degrees celsius. I think they use a smaller intercooler setup thats surrounded by dry ice. Im not sure about how long it lasts also.

Krayn, Ive drawn up the profile myself and will receive the lasercut plate next week, so I guess im out for yours. Ill be using 6mm plate, I think 10mm is a little bit too thick. They quoted me $66, if you cant get one for a better price i can order another for you if you like?

Its a Crown, so i wont need to add any relays to wire up the fuel pump.

Thats what I thought KDog Are the fuel pump relays part of the main loom from the dash or are they mounted in the boot near the fuel pump? Also, SORRY GUYS, but with the ignition side of things it looks like there are 5 wires needed for ignition. 1 from the exhaust temp/check engine lamp...

Hey, Im very interested as i need to custom make a sump also, and i dont have the equipment to weld aluminium so a steel one it is. I tried emailing you but something wrong with my out going mail. When do you expect to get them, and how much? Cheers, Tim

My engineer stated the same thing with regards to using the standard computer. This doesnt bother me at this stage though as ill be running everything standard, and when im at the point of using an aftermarket computer it ll be engineered already and no one will know.

Hes a mate of a mate, who is an electrical technician and knows his Sh*t when it comes to this sort of stuff. Hes recently done the wiring for the 1UZ in a hilux and jag and quoted me $900.Thats to take the car to him with the untouched loom, and he'll do everything. I think ill be doing most of...
