Like previously said, I would not go outside of cleaning up the casting shift and smoothing out transisions. Especially between the throat to valve seat region. It is real easy to get carried away when you starting "cleaning" things up. Do a lot of research before diving into a project...

Lambo, Do you have your own verison of SolidWorks (licensed that is)??? We just tested a free version of it at work about a month ago and I wasn't completely impressed. Do you like using SW in relation to something like CATIA or NX??? I guess maybe I have become so accustom to NX that...

okay, sounds like the best solution. Learning something from it will help you in the long run.... Even if it does take some time..... Jason

Lambo, Do you mean .DXF format??? How many dimensions are there?? If there isn't a whole lot of work you could send it to me and I import into UG and dimension it for you fairly quickly. I would make it multiple files though so you wouldn't have to deal with layers and what not. I don't...

a 89mm bore isn't grossly overboard. Does Toyota specify how much the block can bored out for rebuilding purposes?? If the block was design to handle a couple rebuilds then 89mm should not be an issue.

I would think the limiting factor is the thickness of the steel, Not the the space between the cylinder bores (unless the block was going to be sleeved). Apperently Toyota think that this .18" steel liner is ideal. My question is, how thin can the steel liner get before running into problems.

89mm bore In the previous image, it seems on that motor there is about .17"-.18" of steel. I don't know if that motor had been bored out already though??? Would and 89mm bore work? That would leave only about .14"-.15" of the sleeve left. That seems to be get pretty thin to me, but I don't...

a cool fact on the engine, is that the entire block is made out of aluminum and the pistons have cast iron infused into them!!!! Is this new to a street motor??? I just got done reading an article on the new motor, and they say it is very smooth. Puts the power done very linear. Wish they...

I use a Luguna everyday, and it is a very good mill. Just as good as any Bridgeport. What you have to watch for is how well the machine is taken care of. One that is never cleaned and used for hogging will never keep tolerance. The ways/screw bushing will be scored and the table probably...

flat plane v8, hell yeah. I have seen a couple of those vids before. Doesn't get old....

I have been a member at the good old bimmerforums for quite a while now. They are really starting to make a lot of power out of the M50 US. Definalty a lot of power, but I want to stay away from FI. I already have a turbo car plus I am not looking for a ton of power. I agree that FI would...

I wish I had the euro version, unforchunatly I live state side. Drifty do you still want to swap, lol!!! Eventually I will put a v8 in my car. I love my car dearly, which actually makes quite a bit of power, but I want something different. Also drifty, do you have any links???

Hello All, So I did a little measuring the other day (95' m3 owner). There is plenty of room in an e36 body for a 1uz. Well I retract plenty, but there is room. Here is a couple of observations though. 1) Front sump well of 1uz will interfere or be a very close to the rack& pinion/cross...

Okay, thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that. I wish I could afford that monster. Must be a blast to drive once you wind that motor up....

I am looking for more specifics. Motor are more than just comp ratios, cam specs, etc.

wow RMS that thing has to be a rocket. Nothing like a low Pound/HP figure. Anything else you would like to share as far as engine specs go with us... Listening intently.

RMS, Thanks for the reply. I don't blame you for keeping your specs to yourself. I am sure you put a lot of time and money getting them right. Also, any other real intake port tricks done to this motor??? I am assuming right around 31.5mm port diameter behind the valve head. Is the port...

I want to add my 2 cents here and say awesome. Very nice torque cure, thats the way it should be. I have a few questions myself if you don't mind. 1. What did you tune the intake and exhaust lengths for??? Are they tuned for the same rpm band as each other, or are they spread out through...

hello all, I have been looking around this sight for a little while now. I just want to say how amazed I am about the amount of actual technical stuff that is on this forum. I love it..... How do you all get a hold of this information? Hell, I have been looking for the deck height of my...

definalty cnc well, imho I believe that just breaking down and buying a good chunk of say 6061 or even a 7000 series aluminum(strength) and find a machine shop to make one for you. Might be a little move exspensive, but definatly a lot of less headache. I am a journyman mold machinist here in...
