During class in my college one of the topics we studied was welding. The professor welded aluminium foil using the HV only, he said its a really cool trick.... O_o Aluminium foil is so thin thats enough, its like fixing your light bulbs with a ignition coil.

If you want to have really high boost pressures look at turbos with secondary guide vanes on the compressor side. Holset if one of those producers, i dont want to lie but i think boost up to 3.5 bar is within reach. Still the question is: what one wants to achieve. I really cant find compound...

RMS, what flow rates are we looking at in a 1uzfe ? That would be helpful when seeking for a proper oil pump, i wouldn't like to disassemble my pump only to measure it and calculate the flow :/ Did you ever heard of using electricity driven scavenge pumps ?

Good for diesels, wont work in a gasoline engine properly beacause of high backpressure.

tuning via TPS is good in race conditions where the engine runs in almost constant full throttle position and the load varies by a small amount... As far as i know this system wont work in daily driving conditions beacause the system wont work correctly with part throttle settings (at least...

I am really interested in this thread and pictures even if its a joke as i find "twincharging" the ultimate way of building a high power, responsive engine. I used to own a Ford Escort RS Turbo wich had a small 1.6 litre engine with a T3 turbo, boosting from 3000rpm. Power is a really great...

Would you run it sequential or serial ?

Beacause as you have may noticed i live in Poland and unless you make some friends with a truck service crew or directly with Mobil / Shell guys they wont want to sell this stuff to you unless its a 200L drum, or at least i have been searching wrong, ill try to call a few peapole today. This is...

What about oil additives wich are supposed to contain phosphor and zinc, as well as other stuff, like MoS. As far as i know they are mainly designed to work in highly stressed gearboxes and diffs. Is there any chance they would work with good grade comnonly available synthetic oils on the...

That is exacly what am i about to do to my non vvti 1uzfe. Any tips on how thick is the port wall?

The earlyer pump might be interesting for peapole who revv their engines high.

Running high spec gear will not guarantee high hp. Im trying to proove that a stock small port 1UZFE with some proper work (porting, custom made exaust, intake, custom cams) with a small budget is good for making a really nice sporty car. When i was simulating my engine i started with...

+15% on the intake side, +10% flow on the exaust side, custom cams, exaust and intake should yeld >400bhp according to Engine Analyzer Pro.... The question is: will the engine rev to 8000rpm. If a lousy ford DOHC 8 valve engine can (meaty pistons, meaty, short, thick con rods, trackday use)...

How much horsepower are you aiming for ? Using your stock flow numbers i estimated in Engine Analyzer pro, using my engine profile based on a 1UZFE in my garage about 350bhp streeteble HP is archieveble with a preety decent torque curve from 4000 to 7000rpm. +15% flow on the intake and +10%...

Hello there! This is my first topic over here, so i would like to say hello to all you guys! Ok, first of all. I own a 97, 30000km (19000 miles), almost brand new 1UZFE wich i would like to build as a n/a engine. The engine will be installed in a very light weight space frame, double A...

Shouldnt the NOS injectors sit after the turbo, in the high pressure zone, just before the manifold to additionally cool the charge ?

By slightly better you mean the whole casting process, machining, assembly ? There is a high difference between machining a turbo within 0.05mm tolerances (wich 99% peapole wont see any problems - everything looks fine) and 0.001mm... Yes, a turbocharger is very simple. But needs to be made...

Are my eyes mistaken or is the engine a loaded chassis part ??

I find my oil too hot when operating over 95-100C. When i had my Escort RS Turbo anything over this point meant hydraulic lifter rattling beacause it was too thin. The oil was 10W60 by Valvoline. My cooler will be operated via a thermo-electric swich, when theres no need for oil cooling there...

I will be using a transmission oil cooler equiped with a electric pump connected to the oil sump and a electric thermostat off a Ford Probe turbo. Basicly you need to weld 2 fittings on your oil pan, install the electric sensor on the oil pan so it can monitor the oil temp (i will use one off a...
