yeah that rosty guy said he had all exzorst a cam and head upgrade and that he can dip into 11 second and it was pretty cheap, thats why he likes ls1s

my dad has a VT II ls1 and i eat him, i took my judgment of LS1s from my dads car.

Flaming......lol understated well.

I have a stock r32 prob put out 120rwkw if that....cant say i get handed my arse by really anything except other turboed cars...i mean i would get beaten by modded R8's...but i expect that since they are running 2.5 times the power and 2.5 times the capacity. They dont whoop my arse though... and as for top end...i dont think anything car really beat a force feed car. My opinion

Maybe look at your technique at driving dude

Power isn't everything.

Rotor's with relatively low power and torque can still pull some quick ETs.

Ditto for Rollas, Hondas, etc.

Ls1's advantage in a rolling start would largely be in torque. Gear selection, and revs will be your advantage.

That said, only an idiot would post on a public forum bragging about street racing.

A 13.5 quater mile should be quicker than any LS1 powered holden, and probably match any LS1 powered HSV. The bigger problem is that people fork out $70,000 for a brand new Clubsport R8, and hence the CAPA bolt on blower for $4,000 drive away seems like chicken feed. And that little supercharger makes their dyno readouts a little more worrying:

And they only get scarier from there!

Good luck with your future LS1 hunting endevours, but try and keep it off the street! I know it's tempting sometimes... I had an FPV GT baiting me on the freeway tonight (in traffic mind you) and it's soooo hard to say no in that situation! (I'm proud of me :) )

A guy at work has the Stage 2 PWR supercharger on his LS1 HSV. Estimated at around 450kW at the flywheel.

f**k it pulls....

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
