  1. I know I haven't updated this in a while as I don't come on here much, but price drop to $27.5k
  2. Hey guys, up for sale is my VY SS Ute. Vic reg till Jan 2016 (ignore the ACT plates in the photos). PM me on here if you have any questions, or would like to arrange an inspection. Engine: •383ci LSX Custom built in the USA •Custom Turbo Kit •Borg Warner 82mm comp wheel turbo •Tial 40mm Wastegate •Turbosmart race port BOV •500x500x90 intercooler •4" dump pipe to twin 3" exhaust with twin Varex Mufflers •Eboost street boost controller Fuel System: •2000cc ID Injectors •Aftermarket fuel rails •Speedflow fuel lines and fittings •Turbosmart fuel pressure reg •5L surge tank •Twin Peirburg 800 fuel pumps •Walbro 255l in tank pump Drivetrain: •T56 manual •Mcleod RXT twin plate clutch and flywheel •TruTrac LSD •Harrop diff cover •Driveshaft shop 1000hp axles and stub axles •Heavy wall tail shaft Suspension: •Koni coilovers and shocks •King Springs •Nolathane bushes throughout •AP Racing BBK Interior: •VY Maloo leather seats •VY Maloo Leather console •Climate control •Cruise control •Tinted windows Exterior: •Full professional respray in "Quicksilver". Was also original colour •VE Maloo style bodykit •VY Maloo hardcover and sail plane •Mini tubbed with McDonald Bro's Tubs •Modified rear guards to house VE 20x10 wheels •20x8 and 20x10 Matte black wheels It also comes with a collection of parts needed to get through a rwc. Namely a full suspension setup (30mm raised above STANDARD height), which comes as two fully assembled front struts/springs, as well as a pair of springs, and pair of shocks for the rear. On top of this, I've also got a set of standard exhaust manifolds, cats, a custom E.P.A spec catback exhaust, a stock engine cover and a bag of odds and ends for blocking off the oil lines for the turbo, bonnet mat etc, I'll include EVERYTHING that's needed with the car. Both suspension and engine gear could be changed over in a day if you get a mate to help. I did the whole lot myself in one day with the use of a hoist and air tools, and I'm not a spritely character. Car can be viewed in Hallam Vic. Strictly no test drives, I'll take you for a drive if you have a decent deposit on hand. It maxed out Trents dyno (Chequered Tuning)at 19psi, making 900rwhp/1400nm. Idles rock steady at 800rpm, even the cam is barely noticeable. Old dyno video here: $35,000. Cheers, Ben
  3. sorry I copied and pasted from elsewhere, the ebay link at the bottom has all of the pictures in it though
  4. Hi guys, need to make some room around home, so getting rid of this: bad: air con needs TX valve paint is peeled like **** on top surfaces (bonnet, boot, roof) ECU capacitor replacement would be nice, but not imperative good: coilovers with 11ty adjustments locker (have standard diff spare, will come with car) double din headunit with gps sat nav and **** big amp and two 12" subs in the boot new power steering pump timing belt and water pump done ~15,000kms ago just put new pads all round sunroof few months reg (july) very nice quiet car to drive http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture001kv.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture002ie.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture003qy.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture004qj.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture009sv.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images...ture011fq.jpg/ car is located in Hampton Park, VIC. $3000 also have an emanage ultimate, and a bunch of stainless for a catback exhaust(already mandrel bent to shape, and cut to length. just needs to be welded together). can include these for a small fee. cheers, Ben edit - car is also on ebay, no reserve, if you want, you can place a bid if you think it wont get to $3k http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1991-Lexus-LS400-NO-RESERVE-/111054111425?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item19db5742c1
  5. yeah, if your willing to pay 5.5k postage, i'll get them to you neatly packaged in a jzz30 chassis keeping it and finishing it off (computer/tune) would be nice, if not for having a decent street car, just for seeing the result of my hard work paying off, but just not a viable option atm
  6. whats the go with the plug-in looms for the JZ motors? factory JZ injectors are fired 3X2 which the link/vipec can't do? had this issue recently on my mates 1j, we had to rewire it 2X3
  7. fair call, neither 'suffered', but think about what the L20B would have been like running double that boost, for the *simple* thing of modding the carb for blow through and running a cooler? and i'd say the 323 did have charge cooling, although its not something i'd setup in a street car through fear of me not checking it and running out lol, hence i still stand by my previous argument, although it is a good happy medium for the scenario at hand do the 25's both really have the lpg mixer pre-turbo? any pics of the setup, sounds quite peculiar....
  8. i'm saying with a draw through, all the setups run without any charge cooling, limiting total boost that can be run, and the ones that do are cops to drive because the carby is up to a couple of meteres (cooler piping length) from the actual cylinder, where normally its only a few inches. fair to say i havent driven and tested it back to back, but i know someone that has, and has explained to me in the passed just how dramatic the difference is, i have no reason to doubt him. regardless of whether its an L20B or a 1000hp turbo V8, the characteristics of airflow dont change, and i can't see a carby working efficiently that far from the motor... would like to see, as a point of comparison, what low load driving is like in a draw through setup... something decent though, not a standard L20B with an uncooled turbo blowing straight down the intake, something with proper charge cooling and running a meaningful amount of boost. just to clarify, i do think draw through is fine for low boost, basic setup on an old motor, something that's only ever going to see low hp levels (like an L20B), but on a grand scale, in this day in age, i think blow through has it all over draw though
  9. no i've been told how bad it was to consider attemtping it. had an L20B datto that would have been a prime candidate too... so why does nearly every turbo V8 thats out there use blow through instead of draw through? we're talking serious cars, making 4 figure hp, and single digit E.T's
  10. blow through > draw through. if you want to run any meaningful boost, this would necessitate the need for some form of charge cooling, do this with your carb now being METERS aware from the motor, you'll have throttle response you can measure with a calender (know somebody that went through this 20+ years ago with an XE falcon). and its not just a matter of 'sealing' the carb, it needs to be boost referenced on the feed side, as to compensate for the boost moving through the venturi.
  11. been to a few joints, haven't driven hire karts at many (mate has his own 100cc 'race' kart that i get to cane ) but noticed the hire karts at silhouette did seem notably quicker than other joints
  12. he never drove it at 400. was still on the dyno when 98 was put into it. was raining at the time anyway, so it would have been useless through 3rd aswell lol
