Video Of The Hypertune T88-38gk Powered V8 Soarer From Autosalon.

[600hp]

Hey Guys thought you mght want to see how the V8 soarer that hypertune had on their stand at autosalon went.

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.

Looks good, but only 360kw with a T88H-38GK? Waste of a good turbo.

a t88 on stock internals.... why?

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.

yeah... i kinda didn't really think of that

4L and a T88 is going to be unfknblvbl when the motors built to rev... 6 bolt main caps arent OEM there no reason haha.

kinda makes me want a V8 soarer

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 damn multicam corroded mofo's

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 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.

[Dale FZ1]

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.
