Ricky, did you give up and get an AMG or what??

 

No numbers and it's a year-ish.


I wanna do this too albiet with rods upgrade only.

 

Sorry fellas. I haven't found the time to get back to the dyno. I did get everything fixed, and it's good to go.

Last dyno run was 425 rwhp. with the fuel pump coming off the hangar so the pressure dropped when the boost rose above 12#. We were only at about 75% done. Still needed to trim and could still go up on the boost we were only at 12# or so. I'd love to get it done. Soon.

 

ahhh, that's good enough for me I'd love to see the graph on this some times in the future.

 

what kinda dyno? I bet those cams made a difference too...I'm just burned out on trying to make mine fast..er

 

Dynojet

The cams do make a nice rumble/lope at idle. The car sounds like it has a strong V8.

 

Correct cams will make a difference. That dyno number sounds about right with that boost for a late 1UZ. Nice!

 

I just wish the cams weren't so expensive...especially for regrinds

 

speed...gimme a shout. 512.789.1296. im looking for inspiration here in austin...

 

Ricky, Very impressive!! I just read through your whole thread. You and I have some very similar mods. Very, very sweet!! Another TT UZ I was unaware of... You GS guys are serious!! I like it!! Beautiful ride brah!

So I see you live in Hawaii!! I am a local boy myself. I left 20 years ago and moved to Florida. I still visit Hawaii, but it has been a few years now. I plan to make a return trip next year, and to buy a vacation home there within the next 5 years. At some point, I plan to move back to Hawaii. I miss it lots.

I asked Thomas (Speedaddic) if people still drive up to the top of Tantalus and park and make out? That and Diamond Head were two of my favorite places to park with babes and enjoy the scenery, ocean and other things.... My ethnicity is Hapa...

When I make my next trip over, I gotta look you up and check out your ride...I hear traffic is even worse now than when I lived there. One of my best friends still lives there...He sold his home in Aiea Heights 10 years ago and moved to Punch Bowl to avoid the commute into Honolulu, especially the Red Hill area...He said it took well over an hour to go the distance...If I remember, that is only about 7 miles or so. Goodness, I miss Hawaii...

Aloha Brah!!

even though this thread goes way back, im still shocked on this build so amazing, i wonder why you did not go super charged? cant get enough power out of it?
