UZA46 project. 1UZ MKI drag car.

Well well well.... This is going to be fun


First, I aquired this hunk of crap for.... FREE

And I had this sitting around, came from pull a part. Engine and trans originally ran me 200 bucks.

So then I decided that I would do this:

And I am probably going to build an adapter for This:

But if not, I will just spray a 200 shot of nitrous on it direct port. I will be hiding the solenoids, and direct port setup under the intake manifold since that valley is huge and open. If I supercharge, I'm still going to spray it, just with a lot less juice. 450 WHP is the goal with whatever power adder I need. ARP studs, and 2000 + metal head gaskets will suffice.

I've got a restalled TT supra convertor in it to around 3500RPM or so. Should work nicely with the engines powerband. The trans accumulators are shimmed to hell, and I hope it will hold. I'm going to be running the absolute largest cooler I can find.

I will keep this updated pretty regular. I go out and tinker with the car 2-3 days a week.

Looking good there man!

Can't wait for drag strip results.

is that the gm 3800 super charger i was talkin about in my thread a while back? i hope so i cant wait to see your numbers

 

[Txsupra]

Thats gonna be a fun little toy. What rear end and gears will you be running? how much do you think it will weigh in at?

 

[RotaryHead]

Looks like fun

Almost went down this road at the start of the year, a bud has a Mk1 in his shed he was going to give me

Plan at the time was to swap my full drivetrain into it, decided to keep the Mk3 and just double the engine capacity instead.

 

[gixxer750]

It is a GM 3800 supercharger. I found a guy who has one on a 1uz, and claims it did 411 whp @ 8 psi. a 75 shot on top of that would get me where I want to be.

The car weighs 1959 lbs right at the moment, and a few more things are left to come out, but also a few things need to go in.

I won't be running any interior other than a dash and two AW11 seats in it. Still need exhaust and some other things like that, and fluids to be filled...

Much work left to do, but I've only got 15 hours or so in it right now. I mess around with it 2-3 days a week in the shop... should be track ready by spring.

HOLY SHIT! I love it..!!!!

I'm figuring all in all, I will end up with under 2K in this car. I've honestly got like no money in it right now, and I'm very creative. I fab many of my own parts, do my own welding (tig and mig), and can build just about anything I need to.

So 500 whp/2000~ lbs - low 10's, high 9's in the 1320?

 

[SC Rydah]

Congrats, brother!! Hope it flies and surprises whoever u run!

 

[RogueSteel]

Mother of god.....haha respect the classics
Subbed, I want to see this!

 

[Sawbladz]

I see a bunch of badassness at the front of the car but how is this power going to make it's way to the ground? I knew of a Mk1 that was running a 7MGTE and it had severe issues with wheel hop and traction in general. I say I knew of because that car was totaled. This car will be dangerously fast. Hope you can make it safe to drive.

Just like myself.

Makes it sound hella sketch, but I'm sure he can do it!
I mean with how little money he is in there is a good chance safety can be given a good amount of attention. .

 

[Poodles]

Yep, gonna need to strengthen the rear setup a bit...

 

[hottscennessey]

Car doesn't look half bad for being free.

 

[Clint]

Looks like fun, what are you doing for engine managment?

If I were a betting man, I would say he is likely to go with a maftpro?

You got that right, Scott!

Nice project you got there Gixxer! Good to see some familiar names around still
The only thing you should really invest in is a better camera

Waiting to see how this turns out....
