1GZ-FE pics and measurements. Drool included.

[MacroP]

??? really? i thought they were v8?

Nah flat 12 they were. F40 had the V8.

[mrshin]

...Back the the 1GZ...
I'd be interested to see some pics of the inside of this engine. The bottom end setup, the crank, rods and pistons, and disassembled heads. It'd be nice to know how many times the house has to be remortgaged to actually do anything with it. I'd be guessing the innards would be to a high standard like most Toyota engines... Hopefully. Also, it'd be interesting to see what the ports, valves, etc. looked like, to see what kind of potential the whole thing holds.

(If you're going to turbo it, why not go 1GZFTTTTE hey? )

[Norbie]

Yes we'd all like to know those details, so how about you go and buy one and disassemble it for us? Be sure to take plenty of photos.

[TheToyman75]

If someone wants ot buy me 2 I'll pull one appart for everyone

I still have the manual to put it back together lol

[gianttomato]

I'd actually buy one if someone could find me one.

http://www.japanusedcar.net/auction/...?id=5L14502710 22 hours remaining buy the whole car.

That machine is really going to keep the Bogans in a state of bewilderment.

fortunately it's probably a couple of bogans building it...

Ditto. I'm not paying $20k+ for a whole car though!

[oldcorollas]

theres 156 centuries for sale on goonet atm..
cheapest 5L is:

20K and it's already done 163,000km

oh, the 5L came out in Heisei 9

I can get you the pics of the Inlet port setup this weekend as the inlet manifold is removed for a custom setup
The sump will be staying on until we know whether it will fit with standard sump or not,. If it is required to be removed i will definatley grab some happy snaps of it for the forums

It is receiving a pair of GT30's most likley , actually i would be interested to hear what others would recommend ,.. eg Norbie, oldcorollas, GT , YellowRolla etc
The idea is to keep the motor in one piece and run relativley low boost say 7-10 psi no more due to the lack of parts available for a rebuild if something goes wrong and hopefully make upwards of 300rwkw if everything else supportive is in place

Bastards ,...Easy on the Bogan stuff hey!

GT still got you in mind if another pops up ,.. so far missed out on one by a bees D!@#, still trying , we are even just trying to find a non runner for parts for the just incase senario.
They seem to be about in japan occasionally just go really quickly when they come on the market


Thanks

For that kind of boost figure I would stay with a smaller (than GT30) turbo and get it on boost by 2000rpm (kind of Bentley numbers seem appealing). The 2540 that I am running at the moment is quite responsive (boost needle moving by 17-1800rpm). I have not worked out the airflow requirements of your set up, BUT, with decent wastgates I would go fairly small on the turbine. We ought to have a good idea of how the smaller GT30's will go when 1JZ rolla's car is done (IE 1JZ GTE = 1/2 x 1GZFTTE).

My personal preference is to use smaller turbos and run it at teh upper limits of its efficiency range. It may not win dyno comps but will accelerate really well.

I am with Rod, get 2 and I will pull one apart for photos too......

[SL666]

:0 quad turbo 2x 1jz stock setups

[Shifty]

Yeah, four crap little turbos to blow up, great idea!

[MS-75]

I'd go for two GT30/40's, rated at 400-500 each. Considering how quickly the 1000hp GT42 boosts up on my 4.5L Crown, I'd think you could get away with pretty free-flowing rears yet still retain quick response.

One thing to mention is that with the displacement of this motor, you probably don't want super response as with anything other than full slicks and a prepped strip you'll be torching the treads off idle. I found that my car became more driveable as the turbo sizing went up due to it being a bit less violent as the boost came on.

Considering my 1FZ has 275ft/lbs std, if you boost on top of 353ft/lbs it'll be an animal-even at low boost.

Given the displacement and torque of the engine, and comparing it to the results I've had with the 1FZ, I reckon 300rwkw on 10-11 psi is about spot on.

If I extrapolate further from the 1FZ results, 23 psi through that would deliver over 520rwkw......
