Good to hear from you again Silverbox and that you are continuing to work on your project. Def. a first and a pioneer! Keep up the good work man!
Oh man, that is so freaking awesome. Props to you man, I want to see some videos when your done.
Holy crap, that's some tight clearance on that steering shaft u-joint! Otherwise, it fits better than I thought it would. That is some nice work you are doing there. Out of curiosity, do you know how much that engine weighs? That intake manifold always baffled me. It makes it almost look like a transversely mounted engine. There's a lot of space in that v to take advantage of, I wonder if a lower profile intake manifold could be made. Maybe dual log styles with dual throttle bodies. Just something that would fit under the hood. Eh, now I'm just thinking aloud. Pay no attention. To sum up - awesome work, awesome project, can't wait to see it finished!
wow..we all doubted the VG30DETT. then we saw pics...and said damn, thats the biggest motor you could possibly fit in an s12...Now this. this is truly AWESOME!! i think it would be a little better in a hatch for the Front to rear weight bias (im not debating looks here!! but, It still is SO VERY SWEET!!! Good work!!!
That is a big mother-effing motor. Good work, chap.
Soon to be fastest S12 on the forum?
More building fots! With turbos, manifolds and stuff!
that gave me a hardon...
oohh baby thats a tight fit.
ummm.... what?? You are amazing sir, that car is made of win and shenanigans.
Jeez...
Doesn't a vh45de have a lot of horsepower without a turbo? That thing is going to haul ass.
turbo bump hood would give you more space for the intake manifold.
or even better yet, see how each port gets individual runners.
you could make a ITB setup with velocity stacks, going into a single large plunem.
or like this plunem you could make a Single large box plunem that sits on those runners. so you could change the direction of the Intake or intakes, this way you could make what ever you wanted on the box.
those are my thoughts.
HOLLY COW!!!
Never seen or heard of this one before.
I'm still looking at doing the Gazute and was mearly playing around with all the power plants...
Lol... i can just imagine if i did that, all the Commodore / Falcon guys telling me to get a V8 ute...
i could just respond I do
There are alot of other options i'm considering tho...
Kudos goes to you, this thing will truly be a beast!
Holy shit, videos please. This is nothing short of amazing.
oh my god!
and just the other day i was wondering whats the biggest motor that would fit in a s12...simply amazing
Looking good there Zeek,
Have you thought of a custom alloy intake with the throttle body faceing forward?
There looks like alot of room in the V section of the block that gave me some ideas
The excess length in intake piping means they are all the same length... so would be good to keep it in that regard. a custom setup would be very difficult with the way all the inlets are positioned for the manifold.
There's going to have to be a decent sized scoop, the FJ "power" bulge is not big enough to cover that hole.
Is there any progress??? Any pics, or better running video?
wow just.....wow good shit bro man that's awesome
damn thats bad @ss. any more pics. keep up the good work
