    Hey Ian, quick question for you how to I change what the wording is that is a link to something? Example would be in your signiture you have "My Vids", "My Pics", and "What I did today" but they are hyperlinked insted of showing the actual link. When it comes to that type of stuff, Im...

    Kevin's 1UZ Swapped '89 Targa (New updates 8/4 56K go home!)

    Is your 89 an early or late style subframe? (i.e. square or round mounts) I build and sell bolt-in mount sets for the later (round mount) subframes.

    All the Stainless??? If so, then here is the brake down, I had the SS347 flanges laser cut at the place I used to work at. We built turbines and exhausts for Gas Turbine and Nuclear generators and it was all SS347 wire a bit of Inconel here and there. The SS304 piping for the heards came...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Thanks man....... I would have to say deffinitly faster then a stock 7mgte... It kinda hard to really tell cause the torque is instantaneous and there anytime you want it. No waiting for turbo to spool. First gear even with a 3.73 rear end is almost pointless. Even with a poor tune on it right...

    Ok, kinda been slacking on updates here but anyways, its done and running with some bugs and tuning to be worked out. One of the bugs that needs some attention is the Brake Master Cylinder. The stock 1" bore is a bit to big thus causing more pedal effort then I predicted. Its not bad but its...

    Small short update. The exhaust is 95% done, but finished for the time being. I ran out of pipe so it is a little short but its going to have to do for right now as I have exhausted all my funds for the swap. I should have everything else though that I need to finish everything and get the...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Ian, thats my plan eventually but for right now, its just the stock M/C... Once the car is running and drivable for a while, I will finish the design of a side by side dual M/C set up and will probably go the route of a ballance bar. This set up with the stock cylinder is just temporary...

    7M a beast??? The early stock UZ's make the same power and more torque as a stock 7M-GTE ontop of this, the UZ is making over 215ft/lbs of torque at as low as 1700RPM and is still over 200 by redline. Later UZ's with VVTi are making 300hp stock N/A. Oh and the UZ's are far lighter too...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Yeah, its just short runs (one for the front circuit and one for the rear)... Deffinitly would never run the entire circuit with braided line. I had drove and old ford hotrod pick-up once that had a really good brake setup but they plumbed it entirely with SS braid. You could really feel the...

    No not yet. Im having some issues figuring out how to hang the forward exhaust section. Basically Im running 3 mufflers, the first is a Magnaflow dual inlet / dual outlet with a built in X-pipe that is in the tunnal and then two mufflers behide that one under the real seat area (kinda like Ian's...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    No, not all the way to the wheels, just two short lines to go from the M/C to the proportioning valve. they are only 15" long. I understand your thought of flex in them but I dont really see it as a problem as much as one might think. I have seen many factory cars using them off the master...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Small update.... Just got back from getting a few needed bits and pieces. I decided to go with SS braided lines from the Brake M/C to the Proportioning valve so I got those and had a P/S Pressure hose made. About to fit that stuff and get started on the rest of the exhaust....

    Well like I said before, I didn't get much done today between being tired, watching some football and having it raining here most of the day just made for a lazy day. Here are the pics of the Manual brake setup and the adapter for the clutch master cylinder. Brake pedal hager out to make...

    Deffinitly will have some vids...... I just finished up for the night. Didn't get much done today except for the Clutch master cylinder and manual brake conversion... Im not sure yet if I'll bend some new hard lines between the M/C and the proportioning valve or just use some SS Braided...

    1UZ into my MKIII

    Designed and built it myself... Its 13" C4 vette rotors (HD brake option) turned down to 12.8" and Wilwood 6pot radial mount calipers on custom mounting brackets.... At 13" the stock sawblades go on and turn, but they rub the caliper at 12.8" diameter there is just under 1/8" clearance at the...

    It can be made to.... There are people who are running R154's behind them. I currently am just using a W58... Most likely will change to a TKO or a T56 when I do the TT setup for it......
