<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (LAZY @ Oct 29 2007, 10:25 PM) </div>If that v12 weighed as little as the lotus elise this might be a good idea, but throwing an overly heavy motor into what is also in the same class as the sprinter as far as lightwight nimble cars, is just ruining what the car had going for it to start with.
My comments make perfect sense and anyone else who wanted to get involved would back me up. Hell if you really want i'll send delazy over to this thread and see how much he manages to drum into your head. Your comment was only because you yourself cannot think of anything intellegent to say. Deep wallet you reckon?! (gotta love these guys ) head over to this one mate and lets see your build up buddy. And since you brought the whole how deep's your wallet into it chech out this one too deep wallet, phhhtt dont talk yourself into a hole buddy
Yeah, so throttle control will enable me to run my twin turbo 6L v8 through my JDM T50 yeah?!? Sweet as man, where can i get a bellhousing?? Mate, when you upgrade power you must upgrade everything else, pretty common knowledge really. Bet those old f1 cars with 'truck' turbo on it didnt have a extremely weak gearbox behind it....
A toyota gearbox will mate to a toyota engine far far easier than a nissan or ford one, and you'll be hard pressed to find a gearbox from either of these companies that will fit in the sprinter's tunnel.
As for turbo's making 140kw, i have read numerous articles on twin turboed ls1 and ls2 motors, and 440kw is the safe power output without straining the motor. Which would be more than you'd ever need at all, especially in a 800kg corolla.
But please, do us all the favour of doing this conversion mr i got deep wallet. We all want to see a build up thread however, photos along the way. Otherwise you're going to be labeled a dreaming school kid with no idea and you will get flamed forever on here, the kid that thought he could lol
