Install looked tidy. Power number was very good if it was running something like a GT35 (I read 363kW) and should move that lardy Soarer pretty well when the revs are up. If it was one of those T88 units, at that power level it's seriously under employed.

I don't know if it was the scaling of the dyno graph, but it looked to have a fairly late/steep rise in the torque curve which then did not hold for long before it ran out of rpm. I wonder how stock the internals are, and how much $$ was required for the external bolt ons? There should be a reasonable supply of off the shelf speed gear available ex-US.

a t88 on stock internals.... why?

Why not? stock internals are good enough for the power he is making, which is well tried and tested in America with the 1uzfe. I assume, the owner has future plans for the car, hence the t88 now - Thus save on changing it over when a motor is "built" later on.

Toyota aren't the only Japanese manufacturer of a well engineered V8.

Soarer reminds me of an old Jag - big on the outside, small on the inside. Goes well in a gentlemen's express kind of way. Not for me, but good to see someone having a play with them.

JAgs.... dont get me started :banana: damn multicam corroded mofo's :D

GK on that thing should be good for over 1000hp easy, we supplied a GK on a std (std cams and int) 2jz (595FWKW) and it was safe as houses, ps we did it as per customers wish not cause it was a good setup :D car now has full top end build and is pushing another 200-odd more.

GK FTW :(

Check the link for some good detailed pics of a VH41/45 bottom end.

Other than for the John Holmes award (Longest Schlong) I don't see the point of fitting them up with those massive snails. With the capacity advantage in either the 1UZ or VH45 - and some intelligent turbo matching - they would pull like a locomotive. Awesome road car. A bit like the kit that's available for the Gen 3 Commode.

I'm not sure why you think that sort of power is low. The stock cams in a 1uz are only about 220deg and 7.7mm of lift.

the stock rev limiter is 6500rpm.

The set has been built to max out the GK with a built motor.The 1uz don't have super strong rods like a 2jz, so you can't get thenm too much power.

As for tlag once you take your foot off the clutch the boost starts climbing. no lag as such.

Nobody said it's low. 360 odd rwkW is plenty.

It was more the case that the turbo's potential is not really being tapped. Fair enough for a built engine to come into the equation later on.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
