looking to have about 600hp at the wheels hopefully, dont know how much power loss ill have to the ground with an all wheel drive, anyone care to shed some light?

the t04z is rated to about 700+hp, but i dont want it to be too laggy, im after a balance of power and response maybe leaning a bit towards the power side, if it doesnt work out ill change to setup

As the TO4z is supposed to perform similar to a pair of GTRS's, it would be fairly safe to say it will start making boost below 2000 rpm, have a good .4 bar by 2500 and achieve full boost by 3800-4000. The right cams and head porting + tune will make this even more responsive.

Hi Guys

I know its been like a year since ive posted anything... just wanted to let you know that things are still going ahead but just shitloads slower than i thought it would, ive been busy working and the engine builder has also had other commitments and hasnt quite finished it yet, he assures me it will be done within the next few months and i dont really want anyone else building this motor so all i can do is wait. I Spoke to him a week ago and he said the block and head is at the machine shop.

Ive boaght a set of TE37 SL among other things a week ago so i thought i would post that up

still waiting on engine builder, he has been so busy with other stuff its annoying, spoke to him yesterday and he said all the machining was done and the head is complete, he basically has to put it all together and take it all apart again then put it all together again.

he builds these engines in his spare time, he basically told me he used to do it for a living but there's no money in it so he does it on the side, and he also looks after drag cars so if they break or need attention that goes to the top of his list

THAT is why this is taking so long ><

I have everything i need except for this motor so as soon as it arrives...

No money in it :mellow:

My mates engine builder (I thought you may have been getting him to do it, that's why I asked earlier) is absolutely rolling in it haha. Very very very busy though. Anyway, I understand how frustrating it is waiting on other people! Looking forward to seeing progress though :thumbsup:

Well either way he puts these engines together at his house, he still relies on his friends in the industry as he doesnt have the machines to do the jobs a workshop can, so they take time but also gets the work done at a very good price and still very proffesional

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
