Lexurf IX......

For 400bhp you'll be needing a M112 supercharger, some Supra 7mgte injectors and one of these......

Better stock up on rear axles too!

Ok... looked them up and as good as that sounds, there seems to have been a small case of eyes bigger than wallet.

I remember you mentioning a max 40% power increase can be achieved on stock internals and ECU, that would be around the 400 mark anyway?... is it possible?

How much power do you think a stock surf can handle? as well as the engine, given the weaker rods etc.
What would be the max, safe power output that won't make a massive dent in reliability or break anything?

[gary-r]

the massive dent wont be reliability - the dent will be in your pocket buying gogo juice for the 400hp motor

Supercharger

How about supercharger and nos
That's what I'm looking at onces I get mine in for good lol
Vince still not sign of the plug
However I've got a couple coming now so soon one will be with you

The bhp threshold for the VVTi is 380bhp before the block needs to be opened up.
That be achieved with different cams a bit of porting and custom exhaust headers. =££££
The easiest way to achieve it is fit the M112 with the appropriate sized pulley to create around 6psi of boost and 7mgte injectors.=££.
Both options will work with the factory ECU.

True dat... Liked the ratio change you've done, have you made the initial costs back in fuel yet? or have you just driven more?

Maybe... but would only ever use it for overtaking tw@s in BMW's lol

You could do that with the standard VVTi's power output.

[Wolfracer]

just a general observation, but wouldn't standard headers and intake restrict the flow too much for 400 hp, especially asking a blower to help out? I know my old car released around 30 odd real hp off the custom headers alone...

They're a better design on the VVTi engine, I guess to cope with the bigger throttle body and valves and higher comp. ratio.

Individual throttle butterflys in the intake manifold too....

Wow... that's quite a difference from the standard, is that an internet pick or the real thing? the sun has thrown me off!

Haha this forum's great!

Actually there's a particular one in mind, a friend has just spent an extortionate amount on a BMW and nothing would annoy him more...

That's Brilliant, a much more realistic plan. Can the M112 fit to the 1uz using the same adaptor plate as the M90? If so... Sold... will start trawling for parts.

[JD_975]

Can I just confirm my widely suspected ignorance by asking what it is exactly?

So pleased I wasnt the only one to think that

[BUSHWHACKER]

Thought I'd better update this thread. Lost a lot of photos due to someone acidently deleting them off the SD card because apparently, we need more photos of our dog!!!

Anyhoo, these are the only ones I have at the moment and everyone likes photos....

Diesel engine removed, gearbox seperated and the 'gravy' drained out of it!



Scrubbed blasted and sprayed with V8 adapter kit fitted...



Engine TFR'd, dried and stripdown started...



Eww!




Intake manifold cleaned...(upper)


(Lower)



Scrubbed, blasted and sprayed valve cover...


Cam pulley covers, 'stat housing and dipstick tube polished...



New front crossmember fabbed....



Because the original was erm, fecked!.....



Wiper arms refurbished....(Because I have a new sandblasting kit and I like using it!)


More soon......

[flounderbout]

Wow. Looks awesome. Up another notch yet again!

Which kit did you buy?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Nothing fancy, just this...

Plus a bag of kiln dried sand, £5 from a builder's merchant and compressed air, obviously.
