The locked diff comment reminded me of a mate who modified the diff of his old corolla.

He some how welded it so that it was a one wheel drive.

After that he was able to step on the brake at any speed in any gear and instantly smoke it.

Had it down the burn out comp and won one of the years also.

The problem with one wheel drive is the slightest incline and the thing gets bogged as you try to take off, simply sits there and spins. Awesome fun.

1 wheel drive genrally happens when you snap a weld with having a locker.. 1 wheel cant seem to get traction no matter the powerplant.

in fact deluxe i might be able to find a small side draught for you? mate has all sorts from when he had a to4'd 179 in a hd holden.

Yeh nice the old lockers in my mates old Cilica used to go thru Axles like there was no tomorrow.

Oh and Jase if there was a side draught webber there to be used that would be sweet as they don't seem to be easy to find these days, You think it'll go straight on?

I think thats what he's done.. welded up just single spinner for the burnout comp. He eventually became annoyed with it and dropped in a normal diff again. He wasn't keen on lockers, especially as it was gutless. :mellow:

im not to shure if there is a webber there, ill have to check tomorrow, from memory there is a dellorto and a stromberg.

either would be totaly sufficiant for what you want, its just a matter of fabricating the necisary manifolds ect..

pretty straight forward stuff.. you will have a hell of a time making the thing run right.

is a factory t25 t28 wastegated at 7-8 psi?

  • 2 weeks later...

Be careful, the pistons are like porcelain, they blow ringlands at any time. You

will have to limit it to 80rwkw and keep boost under 10psi. Shaun ex apprentice built one

using my old parts (cam, turbo, intercooler) on a 5 k , it made 100rwkw on 12psi.

Mine made 156rwkw on pump fuel:), arguably the worlds most powerful toyota K motor.

LOL yeh nice..... nothings has really progressed apart from some C__T cutting me off 2 days ago and now i'm up for a new bummper, lights(well U Pull it) and some handy pannel work to be done by myself, but apart from that i was thinking of only putting on a webber and exhaust and maybe just keep it reliable.

But 156kw out of a 5k would have been some REAL NICE fun!

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
