i think steve might ave gotplate from THOR i think!! they seem to do every type of adapter when it come toyota tunning!!!
this car will rule and i would love a skid i it when done!!!

**SteveDunn** · 04-10-2007, 19:09

Spare R154 is staying with me i'm afraid. I've got a habit of breaking gearboxes

The shortshifter is unknown, it came with the 'box - feels lovely though

The adapter is from Thor, I've not got the clutch, fly etc yet - working out if I can do it cheaper than Thor's kit (£1400!). It's fricking confusing though

kenny-mack · 04-10-2007, 20:49

the projects amazing mate - following this thread with anticipation!

But how can thor justify £1400 for a clutch & flywheel?

They fit very well !! Look ..... This is one of our shop cars in Australia

Bit of Tandem drift with the V8 Onevia and another shop car which is an SR20det S13

Steve, I don't know what your future plans are.... but the Lextreme forum in the US has a group buy in progress for a bracket to fit a Vortech supercharger to the 1UZ (135 dollars delivered). You'd still have to sort out an idler pulley, belt, piping, intercooler. etc, of course, and I don't know how much room you'll have under the bonnet.

Still open at the moment.

Gareth - cheers mate but I'm sticking with N/A at the moment. If I went FI i'd use a turbo anyway, as that's what I know

option1garage - awesome. Steve Carter (Australian edition) showed me a video with the car drifting, very cool

- how hard was it to fabricate the manifolds to get past the steering rack? That's my next issue after the clutch and fly.

carter au drifter · 09-10-2007, 11:04

Awesome project. More and more people are realising that Nissan engines are not that good. You get the same power with added reliability with less money when going for a V8.

Sorry for offtopic. Do any of you know what kind of pressures / hp the stock 1UZ can handle with the supercharger? I´m toying with the idea of supercharging an LS400 for the winter.

kenny-mack · 09-10-2007, 16:53

not all nissan engines are crap lol, the SR20DET is a good engine, and of course the RB26DETT

Toyota just have so many fun engines...4A-GZE, 3S-GTE, 1JZ-GTE, 2JZ-GTE, 1UZ-FE ... Plus the new 1.8 VVTI Lumps are starting to show decent tuning ability, my neightbour had a gen 7 celica with SC kit was supposed to be 270hp at the wheels, gave my tuned up MR2 a run for its money!

My new S14A has a bit more torque than the MR2 but the guys sold the celica

mouwt · 09-10-2007, 17:24

I love this project.

Danny_Boy · 09-10-2007, 17:52

Mate thats looks to be one tastey number going in there!

Stavros · 09-10-2007, 17:58

It HAS to stay n/a with the TB trumpets sticking out the bonnet.

If not its gay.

Well its not, but its gotta be done.

sideways.taff · 09-10-2007, 18:28

doz · 09-10-2007, 18:36

Trumpets out of the bonnet with cocktail umbrella's to stop any rain getting in
