Spotted: 1UZ oldskool Cressida with GT47R turbo :D

i wouldn't believe the things tuned to 100% not in that amount of time anyway.

when you add together the time taken to mount the motor and tranny, fab up a tailshaft, wire everything in, weld everything up, i dont think you've got any time at all to get it into an efficient state of tune, definitely not in 3 days.

They just did a basic road tune, not even on a dyno. Not sure what computer is in it, I suspect Adaptronic or stock.

[Norbie]

i think its a getto POS but thats me haha

Well let's see what you can slap together in 3 days?

[MR 1JZ]

respect for that thing being done in 3 days

and it looks like a tough package too

still auto I assume?

[1jz68u]

the real question is WHY did they do it in 3 days, im sure if they took a bit longer and did a better job it would have been a much better advertisment for their company instead of what looks like it was done in a back yard.

and in true jap tuner form in the last pic there is a cable tie sitting on the strut tower. Looks like that is what holds half the engine in there

imho - if youre going to show something off - you do it properly...

cbf researching it, but if this a fabricator's car, i wouldnt show that off to anyone. would be driven to a dyno for a quick test-n-tune, then sneak it back for the 'proper' pipework - as if youd take it anywhere near an autosalon!

[Ribfeast]

It runs the Celsior auto.
They had it jacked up outside the dyno at Autosalon, fixing an oil leak or something.

i would not have thought a GT47 would have an internal gate, u sure its a GT47, or some busted ebay spec "GT47" turbo, i notice how u cant see the id plate

[MR 1JZ]

where is the internal gate?

[The Real Roadrunner]

you can get internal gate versions. ive seen a couple but id go with an external unless theres a space restriction.

ps if there welds are like that all the time it scares me as to how much thought they put into a job.

i rushed my corolla to get it running b4 i had to blueslip it but never got the chance to "tidy it up" b4 it was smashed, but took it to autosalon after getting it carolined (still had a bent diff in it though)

[camrygt?]

its an external gate 60mm or something, it actually never got driven, or tuned at all it was free reved in the car park without even a wideband in the exhaust then the fuel curve made to look linear plus a bit on boost....its amazing something didn't explode, not the way cars at autosalon are meant to be but i guess it worked...

[petespipes]

i would be severely embaressed
to advertise that power level from 4 litres with large turbo.that power level is achieved with half the gear.............
3 days? how many people? one can do a full conversion in a week............

[celicapain]

powerfull, but shite. at least it makes me feel a bit more professional

[Pure_In_Sanity]

So do these guys specialise in LS1's ... or rotaries?
I know its a 1uz mx32 , but ffs the workmanship is disgraceful!
