my 1uz swap

had the car dyno'd on friday it made 274hp atw with no mods, just aftermarket ECU..
took it strait down to the track and cained the shit out of it and it was a success!
i havnt managed to make the front sway bar work yet but it handles quite well without it
and the h190 rear end held out fine to the abuse but i do have a hilux (4Runner) rear end waiting..
Videos to come as soon as i can get them on photobucket

really nice job... any chance you got pictures of your motor mounts you made are you coming off cross member or the rails and are they solid or are they a rubber mount. are you getting any flexing out of the unibody and do you have any concerns when you up the hp.....again a really nice job

really nice but the HP disappoints me a lot. the compression is already 10:1 on these right? seems like a 4L v8 should make more. headers or stock exhaust manifolds?

the motor only puts out 260-280 hp factory (at the fly), so for a 14 year old motor and pulling that at the wheels i didnt think it was too bad..and it has factory headers at the moment, until the turbo
and for the mounts, i cut the old seats a bit shorter on the cross member and welded new ones on to suit isuzu elf engine mounts
and im thinking of seam welding the car when the engines out next

great job the mounts look first class. i love the videos. the trip thru the turf was perfect and being kicked off the track was even better you guys laughing the whole time made it even better. it looks like they like their blowers there. really great stuff makes me want to get mine done all the more

im just doing the last bits at the moment so i can get it certified and road legal..
its heaps of fun to drive but alredy thinking about a turbo once i pay back my debts..
and thanks cutter that was my dad laughing, he was having a ball and yea there were probably
more cars with turbos or blowers than N/A cars at powercruise..
