EdMorris Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 That flywheel looks the business. As we've spoken about Ryan, I may ask you for details of this. Great price too. Oh, and very interesting project by the way. This motor will be a hoot to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan.G Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Well after 3 monthes of late nights, unhappy girlfriend, burns, bruises and stress the engine is finally in the car working as it should Got the engine in last weekend but had to take out this week in the night as the guy who ever changed over the sump setup to a soarer on my engine forget to change the pickup gasket. Resulting in air getting in and not gaining oil pressure. (Thanks Chris Wilson for diagnosising this over the phone...Legend!!) All the gearbox setups works a treat with the custom flywheel i had made. Uses all the stock setup and works with the starter motor perfectly! Well happy with this. The gearbox is got 2nd hand and it works fine after a quick rebuild but whines abit on idle and in gear but the noise goes away when the clutch is depressed.. Thinking a faulty release bearing?? Anyway here are some pics when it went in. Will get a video up soon and pics of the exterior of the car. Only downside to the 1uz conversion is it sits so damn high at the front now with the weight differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Looks awesome! Thinking of converting to dual intake (like the ill-fated TTC twin turbo car in the States)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Sounds sweet. Is it burning oil or just vapour? Cant see very well on this screen. Are you running the S6 now, or will you be adding that when the turbo's get their cores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
