Would have the same effect on all cylinders.. Initially I was gonna it's popped the gasket between the cylinders, but then noticed that they are not adjacent. Makes things a bit funny..

Also also also If the ignition and everything is still working, it should still be able to fire up and run on those numbers without too big a worry. Won't run too flash and will lose a lot of power, but there's no reason it should be coughing and shit. Double check ignition and make sure it's firing when it should be, and perhaps check valves for stickyness / bendyness. Could explain both low compression and coughing stz.

Cold compression test should still give consistent results (if everything is all fine and dandy), even if the readings might differ from hot. Drop a spot of oil down the bores and try again. Rings may be shot or something.

Yah, that's the joke

With that much scum buildup, that engine will not have been looked after at all. As UJ said, run a compression test, and if possible a leakdown test. Then remove head and sump, inspect sump for any shiny deposits, and get shit dipped. If there are shiny bits in the sump then your engine is due for a full rebuild / boat anchor conversion. If it was me an engine like that would be getting a full rebuild. Or scrapped. But that's just me. I've had enough "She'll be 'right" moments backfire on me in the past..

This is sounding rather fantastic

Nah man, pic size is all good. Got pics of this Toyota powered one? / put a 1UZ in yours

I shall be doorting over direct from work.

And crickets, and a roof that likes to fall onto your cars... But only in certain places. Like where mine currently is.

I got silicon on my stz, normal hose clamps cranked up tight, and it hasn't caused any damage to the joiners. They just squished down a bit. Last time I undid them they didn't even have any marks on them.

In that case, chuck it in and plug up some wires. Piece of piss mate I've heard they bolt right in (with custom engine mounts / sump / exhaust / etc)

I think the VVTi ones use those stupid coded ECUs that require everything else in the car to be plugged into them, or they won't start. So you'd need something aftermarket, Link G4 or some stz

I hate you all.

If you've got the time and the money just fucking do it Compound charged 1UZ utilizing 2 turbos, 1 supercharger, running on meth with a 500hp nitrous shot?

Shit I think I'ma have to bail from this. Hope it pisses down with rain / snow all weekend

The guy who paid for tinfoil and bog? Ha.

What?

Tee Bee Aych, you'd be better off telling your SC12/14 to fuck the hell off and run a more efficient supercharger. Unfortunately I can't find a map for them to show how shit it'll be running at 15psi, but you are definitely pushing it well out of its comfort zone. The screw type supercharger found on those Mazda thingies would be a much more suitable unit. Still 1.2L/rev, but are a hell of a lot more efficient at those pressure levels. Less heat, and less engine power wasted on spinning it = more power at teh weelz

Pretty bloody sceptical about that LE-1, considering they now say it has 6000hp with a top speed of over 600kph.. You'd think something like that would have a little bit more info on it floating around. [edit]Seems it's also had a couple of jet engines fitted. http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech ... engine-car

6.5 something from those celicas?

Still awaiting payday.

Was gonna say the same thing. Lifting the front of a (rotor?) corolla is a bit easier than this

Mind = blown That is fucked. Why use a 4G63 as the basis though? Surely a 4AGE would have been a better candidate?

I read somewhere why pure O2 is not used, but can't remember all the details. One of which though was that it is stored at a much higher pressure than N2O, and it will freeze everything when you try and inject it into the engine. Another concern was safety. N2O only breaks apart into N2 and O2 under high temperatures, so it is mostly harmless should you pop a leak. O2 however will make things very fucking flammable if you spring a leak somewhere. There were more reasons too, but meh
