[Guest BigRod33]

I'll try an find out about it tonight and let you know. The 4.5litre Infinity would be my choice, it has been used in a couple drag cars.

So you expect 500rwhp? What boost levels do you intend for this? By my quick calculations, looks like around 20psi would be required... which sucks, cos the 2JZGTE will do 500 with 22, and a lot less work

Of course, my calculations could suck. I guess the best bet is to wait for your tuning to finish and see what power you get.

[Guest BigRod33]

Miles B,

the target is actually 500rwkw not 500rwhp (i.e @750rwhp)

we really are still in research mode, whence the thread

[Guest Miles B]

Sorry - was talking to VSPEC

[Guest BigRod33]

doh,

sorry

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Miles B, We should get 500rwhp with about 14psi. The 2JZ is good up to a point, be seeing as the owner managed to destroy the bottom end it was decided that the 1UZ would provide a stronger base.

BigRod,

I believe the VQ45(Infinity) is for sale for about $3800 including auto box or $3500 without the box. There is also a VH41 around for about $2800 I think. Personally the Infinity is the better engine, plus with people having built them before there should be more info on them as a race engine.

VSPEC: any updates? How is the tuning going? Later on, I realised that I had screwed up my estimate, and only including pressure ratio, not density ratio too. 14psi for 500rwhp would be great. Stay in touch!

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Miles,

We are still trying to do the tuning, the car starts but the Autronic is being a real bitch to work with. We are swapping in a Wolf Ver 4 tommorow, and think it should be done in a couple days.

I'll post some pics and dyno readout once it is done.

GTS-T VSPEC been reading this thread i have a 1uzfe that i am installing into a 280z so far i have made extractors engine mounts and trans mount its still a long way off but any info on the install would be appreciated, am going to make it to the plex shortly so hope to catch you then

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Chrisroi,

My mates have put this engine into a number of cars now, including Holden Utes and a 4WD. If you need any info then PM me or ask in this thread and I'll see if I can help.

My mates have also helped build a drag car with this engine an 2 700hp turbo's, hoping for 7's when it runs in the next few months.

I've got a mate about to put a 1UZ in a HZ ute. He wants to run the stock motor with two smallish turbos, probably stock RB25 ones. Any info on fitting it and suitable manual tranny and engine management would he awesome

Thanks

[Guest Miles B]

VSPEC... how is the Wolf3D going? Easy to tune? I'm thinking about it, as it's only a third of the price of the motec. I've heard AEM have had a few problems with them though???

[GTS-t VSPEC]

kik-ass,

I'll speak to my mate who put the engine in and find out what modifications needed to be done. Then I'll let you know.

Miles B,

I haven't had any problems with the Wolf, and either have all the other people I know. There are plug'n'play ones for the GTS-t and GTR's which are actually better than the straight Wolf, but tuning is easy and I haven't come across and problems.

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest Miles B]

Any ideas if the motec does anything the wolf doesn't? The thing I like about the motec (other than I know it will definitely work - haven't heard a lot about the Wolf around here), is that motec offer training days for like 150 bucks. I dunno, when I get closer to doing the job, I might ask you for some more details.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Feel free to PM me and discuss it. The Motec is awesome, but you sure pay for it. For most trackwork/drags/street the Wolf has all you would need and more.

See'ya:burnout:

[Guest Miles B]

Any news??

[ricknismo]

the v8 twin turbo idea is still waiting on confirmation of wether the engine actually fits and if it is legal

[Xeron]

ive heard alot of single turbo v8's have problems with the Y joint cracking after a fair bit of use.

Why not just build up a n/a beast?

[Guest Nismo_Freak]

You can get a 422cid LS1 Chevy Block here from MTI... its a small block and would fit in the S14 or the R33. My mate has a LT1 350cid motor in his S14. With the 422cid you wouldnt need to make much boost to pump 750whp out of it. I could source a 454cid Big Block but that would require a ton of work to fit. The 454 does make about 380 ft.lbs. of torque at 1800 rpm in stock n/a form.
