@oceanz4me Yeh, nice one, traction is a bitch to achieve at the best of times and once I saw this I wondered what it was set up for.
I love the quietness of it though, I'm a big believer in sleepers, hate the flashy stuff that makes the car look or sound faster than it really is, well done.
Have fun there matey, and happy 40 Gal drum shopping!
@toranacar um because it doesnt make any noise and i also dont like the fact that the bonnet has just been filled with an import motor?? just doesnt appeal to me mate. im sure it goes but it doesnt fell like it has character
@XAXBFan Log style exhaust manifolds and two turbos makes it quiet, extractor style manifolds should fix that but yeah i hear what you say about import..
@XAXBFan Fair call. I guess I look past brand loyalty, at the fact that it's a bunch of raw materials that have been fashioned by humans using human technology into a functional device.
okay - explain the brake booster in the boot! - I nicked one out of an L300 van and managed to dodgy up a brake pedal setup under the dash, works great but with my cam I have fuck all manifold vacume and my brakes really suffer. I'm thinking about using the remote booster I got out of my mates EH, or the electronic one mounted somewhere out of the way.
I also don't think that battery is going anywhere fast. ;)
Its a VH40 or VH44 remote booster. Had to go in the boot as there was no room on the fire wall and not much room under the front guards as the turbos sit under there.
If you have vacuum issues youre going to have problems with a booster. Can you run 2 master cylinders without boosters? One for front one for back.
Im trying to remember the brake place I got my booster in Victoria.
im up here in bris mate, my engine is out and waiting to be tickled, the paint is also half completed due to my painter/mate passing away. would u be interested in trading some pics of the brake setup, I'll show you my dodgy set up haha, backyarder brake setup. might get me out dusting the ol girl off
But i have a master mounted on the firewall and chassis rail, very similar to the LC 4 cylinder unboosted master cylinder. Then the line goes from there to the booster in the back, then a T piece from the booster to the front and back, so really its 2 extra lines (from master to booster/T piece to front wheels).
aha! of course I totally forgot about that, thats how my mate wanted to mount it as it was similar to his EJ. I have the remote booster out of that. what kinda power u getting out of that engine? out of curiosity?
Not sure yet, but another bloke with one of these is getting 440hp on 8 psi.
The limitation is the injectors. Larger injector you could get 700 plus but you wouldnt without changing rods and pistons. Im enquiring about a stroker crank to get 6 lts out of it but that will be way later.
hi mate, yeah the brake booster setup I have is out of the van, if you havnt seen one, the booster and master cyl actually face back towards you, and the pedal levers directly up to the plunger that pushes into the booster.
on an LJ i was going to buy (spewin! i missed out) he had an electronic vac booster up under the guard that was at full vac constantly, worked great. but I had no idea how it was connected. How does the remote one work u got heaps of bundy tube bent up to and from it?
@onelouduc1966 yeah yeah good on ya what the fuc is tie me kangaroo down all bout homo sydney capital of homos...jap crap in cool cars pisses me off ...yeah rbs are tuff in godzillas not in muscle cars whats next a rotor ppppffft...i used 2 like jap cars until i reached puberty
@4huna ....love your "round the mates for a cuppa" video ..... great near miss ya fken useless cunt.... This torana would rape your cars asshole...... sheep fucking moron !
Nissan all the way mate, incredible potential, well done, these old school V8 guys will moan but not only will you probably beat most of them, you'll be 10 times more reliable.
I've run 7.8s in my street Nissan and I copped alot of shit too but best of luck to you.
Yeah fair enough,If that's the only way to get her reg..so be it, I'm just old school I guess.Sounds like a good donk anyways.I dont know much about them,but alloy with 6 bolt sounds good.
Thats cool mate I expect some criticism, its understandable and I respect/like old school. In fact I am mostly old school even though in this case it doesnt show. In this case it was the only best way to go legal V8 turbo unless I used a 253 turbo but that was just not good enough.
I wish i knew. Its not complete yet but should be soon. The custom sump struck a damn leak where its welded, (welded by Micks Metal craft) so i just got the motor out tonight to get the sump out to reweld it.
Wow! all that work and wheres the HP going to go? or is this just a burnout car?

Also - how the crap do you change the plugs! thought it was a pain in the ass with the ol gm 5L in my LJ.
336Torana 2 years ago
No kidding.
The spark plugs run down the middle/top of the head, little like the Hemi V8 heads in terms of position of plugs.

Yeah I understand what youre saying but I needed a modern V8, twin turbo in an LJ and keep it legal.
I would have used a chev or 308 twin turbo but it wouldnt be legal.
So its 4.1 V8 with twins, 4 cams, alloy block, 6 bolt mains capable of mega hp.
