i,ve been trying to get the torque up more than power because its now auto, changing diff gears as the ones in there give me a top speed at 6500 of 307kph and having a bit of trouble getting of the line, on the dyno it looks like the back doors are trying to open, at least i stopped it breaking 3rd gear

what transmission you using?
Cos no doubt it will be the next thing to be changed after the lsd is fitted

Id like a auto box as its a daily driver and more of a straight line go to whoa kinda car

[rodi]

box is a a340 out of a 1jzgte soarer which i then fully manualised, very easy fit up, 3rz auto bell housing
3rz flex plate, 1j torque converter, 1j box, speedo is easy but tail shaft is a bit of a prick, valve bodies, converters are available, still no tunnel mods

sounds alot easyer then a r154 conversion,
Whats the problems with the tail shaft?

[rodi]

i had to buy a yoke and hybrid uni from hardys about $170 but my shaft is ford v8, might be easier if its all hilux but you have to shorten it 100mm, boxes can be bought for $300, $40 to manualise, i got $650 for my last W58 so not to bad

hey berad and other 3rz turbo guys

I got a quote for a supply n install on my 02 hilux 4x4, he wanted to know if i wanted a custom plenum made up.

i would like to have my luxy around the 320-350hp mark

My question is, would the stock toyota plenum be more than enough to use? Instead of using a custom plenum (extra $990).

Is there a rule of thumb like anything over 450hp then you would use one?

Does anyone know if theirs much turbo lag difference between a stock plenum and a custom one?

I will be keeping the bottom end stock for now, my lux has done about 170,000. The guy will be putting in a cometic head gasket while he has the manifold pulled off.

My recommendation is wait to see what the intake temps are first, If they are high then do a plennum.
If he's doing a cometic head gasket then he should be putting a set of arp head studs aswell.

Hey TWEAK can you tell me if you can see heat transfering down your damaged rod from the gudgeon pin/ little end please, and yes there goes another one

[Tweak]

Still waiting on my engine to get built. I'll see if i can drop in some time during the week and grab the rods

The a340 tranny seems like a common thing amoung alot of makes........... even jeep has it lol
So if i decide to go down the a340 route what would i need electronically?
