E85.... you Need more compression
Car is mental... super super cool...
Would be an absolute blast to thrash around the track..
When I was testing runner lengths I ran out of room in my engine bay LOL... Long runners are the shit.. Short ones failed HARD on my engine... made like 1 HP difference between the shortest runner I had and NONE at all..

I made 8 Extra HP from runner tuning and 7 from adjusting the cam timing.. Doesn't seem like much but when that takes you from 110atw to 125 its a sizable difference. Over 10% increase..

Just worked it out 14%.. there abouts.

He didn't..... TRD did!!!
Have a look at the casting on the top of the manifold.

Yeah havent run this set up yet so dont know how it will go, I had a play with my old Dellorto carb set up with intake lengths, also cam timing to see what changes it would make. I know a length where the engine made best power on the carbs but need to do the same with the injection when its running, may also fit it with an airbox to see if that helps too...

jimtune,
what clutch/flywheel did you use? it looks like the flexplate is sandwiched between the flywheel and the crank.

[jimtune]

So pics of the engine, some of these are older ones. now its set up with TRD fuel injection.

[jimtune]

I made the flywheel for it from 4340 steel, the flexplate is has a spigot that mates up to the back of the flywheel and you are correct it does sandwich between the flywheel and crank.
The clutch is a 2 plate 5.5inch Tilton.
My car used to run a 2 plate AP Racing 7 1/4inch clutch and flywheel. its for sale if your interested?
Cheers

So what class do you race your car in, and what else do you race against?

[jimtune]

I used to run in a class call "sports saloons" in the south island but now mostly run in club events against all sorts from Evos, old touring cars to Spaceframed V8 things.
The car is still the fastest 1300-1600cc club car around Teretonga.
Cheers
