Single Turbo 1UZFE VH Commodore * with drive vid
Hey all, i have been a bit of a lurker on this forum for awhile, anyway due to a major knock in my daily drivers engine i have been forced to fast track my 1uzfe commodore project, i have been going at it on and off for about a month and last night i gave it a test fire, after sitting around for 4 years it started 1st crank
please note one of the build goals for this car was that i could only use stuff i had laying around in the shed from previous projects so some of the gear i used is either cheap and nasty or just plain weird.
Specs
- SC400 1UZFE, stock, all idle control gear was missing when i got it so has been plated over aswell as the injector in the bottom of the plenum.
- I am using the stock drivers side header on the drivers side, just cut and reversed to end below the alternator. The passenger side is a modified crown log.
- Turbo is a brand spanker i scored for nothing, from a 9litre diesel i was told, wastegate is an ebay special tial clone
- i used small 1.75 inch ID tubing for the merge pipes before the turbo as i could see no need to increase ID on to decrease again at the flange. I have crazy turbo spin speeds at idle so the gas speed must be quite high, i am hoping this wont restrict top end to much.
- I am using the soarer auto with one of Kdogs controllers.
- ECU is EMS QI4 dualsport i had laying around and so far seems to run the engine well.
- I used some M&W dual ignitors i had laying around.
- RB30 TPS as the TB had previously been butchered, so i machined down the shaft to fit.
- 8 series 5 550cc injectors.
- XR6 Turbo intercooler
Here is a vid of the test fire last night, could not run it very long as had no cooling system or intake pipes and it was running out of the dump pipe
