Hey i just picked up a motor, think its from a crown, has the front sump but the pan has been modded and i need a stock one, also the oil pickup is not there so will need one of them too. I also need a stock convertor and the 3 prong output shaft yoke. Can anyone help? i am in brisbane Cheers...

Hey thats a good point that i did not think of, i have the standard front and rear cross over, no dampner, i am feeding into one rail and returning from the other, thanks for idea i will give it a go :)

Well Jamie from EIS called in last night and flow tested my 550cc injectors, they all flow within 5% of each other, normally i'd be happy but this means i have no clue as to why this cylinder keeps failing. I spoke to Scott from Venom and he had a piston with exact damage from cylinder 3 of...

Pulled the head last night, cylinder number 3, detonation has eaten the side of the piston away, there is a light alloy residue on the top of the sleeve, looks like i will get away with a quick bead hone and slap another piston in. The cometic gasket is fried too. Think its safe to say i have a...

Sorry if this in the incorrect place, can anyone help? i think i may have cracked a piston, will be pulling the head off tonight, just trying to find anyone who has some factory pistons lying around they want to sell. I sold a complete motor in parts to someone on here but have lost his contact...

Well i got to pull my engine again, i had a mishap at the drags, 1st pass of the day the car fried through 1st and into 2nd, i heard a slight bit of detonation at the top of 2nd so i got off it, on it again boost spiked back up hard it rattled and pop i now have a V7 :) i suspect i have cracked...

Hey all, i had an injector fail on my 1UZFE turbo and i have a cylinder leaking compression into the sump, i have not pulled the head off but its got cometics on it so i am expecting to find a nice cracked piston, has anyone got some stock pistons lying around?

Hey mate, i was going to run it on wednesday night, got almost to the track and mates car stuffed up so had to go home get the trailer. I have ran it once before on lighter tune, 12-13psi with slow 2.3 60' ran 12.7 @ 116, i am installing a 50 HP dry kit on it at the moment (to make up for the...

Well took the vh for a bit of a skid last night, my eboost died so i had to make up a temporary bleed valve, i got the tune good to 16 psi and had a guess at anything after, in top gear under more load i was getting 20 psi of boost, no detonation :) it was a colder night and i had bp ultimate...

Oh while i am here, i have to put the heads back on tonight, is there any trick to re-installing the cams? Is there a tech article showing what lines up with what?

Well she did a head gasket, so cometics going in, had a bit of material removed from the chambers and a mill, new head bolts, fuel system etc. Can get cometics in AU for < $100 per side :)

:) yep should be a weapon with a turbo 3s, ke10s weigh 1/10th of stuff all

Slightly different rules up here, it was QLD blue plated with the 13BT and auto but i never bothered to change the engine number on the registration. I have had the car registered for quite a few years. With the 2JZ its not possible to engineer but it will remain registered as long as it can...

Cool 3s KE10 should be fun :) i have had a few ke10s. As for OKE020 i decided to go back to toyota power, 2jz :) 1000 fly wheel hp seems to be quite easy to achieve with these engines, i have removed and sold the 13BT and complete driveline to a guy with another KE20, i have cut the firewall...

Yep i think 430 would be an achievable goal on 14psi. I am just amazed at how easy it makes power, i mean i am using a reversed crown log one side and a cut and modified soarer header the other lol. The car will be up for sale shortly, i need some more cash for the 1hp per kg KE20 corolla project :)

Yep i have a tech edge wb02 wide band and datalogger, i am currently changing my race ke20 corolla from 13bt to 2jz power so thought may aswell chuck it in the vh. My afr's were pretty much spot on, base power run before timing changes was 357rwhp, 10 degrees or so more timing from 2psi to 14psi...

Yep thats what i suspect, surge tank and efi pump are sideways in the boot. I am getting a tank with a surge area so i will eliminate the lift pump and surge tank, see if that works.

I chucked the VH on the dyno on saturday to try and work out this pinging issue, i found that on the dyno i could run much much more timing without a hint of detonation, i think i will be looking into my fuel pump positions next. Here is a graph of what it made on a hot day with 14psi of boost...

Quick update:- Raced my budget 1uzfet VH again on the weekend, backed off the tune a bit to stop the detonation i had in the first 2 aborted passes, had to dial in a 12.99 for first round of eliminations as it was a street meet. Just before the run i decided to richen it up a bit, boy did it...

:) will have to see how it goes with et street radials and water injection, any et starting with 11. and i'll be over the moon :)
