I've done 14.5 with an estimated 120rwkw. Will be interesting to see how an auto compares.

 

yeh i ran 12.9 in my old corolla with 200rwhp and bald 185 tires it was manual, so thinking 140rwhp with the auto and some okay tires might get me a 13.99

BANG!!

 

No bang

12.9 wasn't obviously k powered though i assume?

Nope was ca18

So I have spent the last week getting this thing finished and trying to get the carby to work with boost and HUGE camshaft and auto gearbox three things that don't normally go together with a 4k

the result so far is 168rwhp on 14psi :) the convertor will come out this week as it only ended up being around 2000rpm so will get it taken to 3500-4000, it makes power to 8000+rpm so still gives a great power range

Not too shabby....what sort of torque you making?

That's pretty impressive, well done!

No idea on torque but that's enough power to run a mid 13 second quarter :) might wind it up to around 200rwhp and see how it goes

So carby can't keep up with the power have tried everything and can't possibly go any bigger jets so time for Efi and maybe 200rwhp :)

Sweet, so its all up and running then?

How's the clutch holding up?

I know you probably don't need any help (you've built much tougher cars than I have) but if I can provide any assistance re the efi conversion then by all means hit me up. If you put a wolf I'm it I can email maps...but I reckon you're smart enough not get one lol.

Haha yeh this ones easy, it's auto so no need to worry about clutch. It's getting a microtech lt9c keeping the standard intake manifold and will put injectors into that and an elbow to mount a throttle body and air temp sensors, electronic dissy and pretty much done. I also have a heap of new electronic distributors coming if anyone else wants one will work out pricing when they get here

So turbo 4k ended up making 178rwhp on around 20psi and loved the boost, head gasket did not love 25psi but :) so was easier to upgrade engine than change head gasket or something like that.

Pulled 4k out about 5 weeks ago and 1jz is nearly ready to run, it's stock motor with a baby 58mm precision turbo, a340 auto, corona struts, rn20 diff with mx83 LSD and gears, microtech, single 044, 1000cc injectors, and 215/60/14 Mickey Thompson radials. Will limit it to 400-450rwhp and should go super reliable 9 second quarters. All on a budget of $5000-6000 including what I payed for the car originally. That's as far as this one will get pushed as it will still be my delivery car for my parts business.
