have you ever put yours on one of those corner weight machines that racers use? or indeed the police mobile weight station? from the vids ive seen your celica does look a little nose heavy. engine did sit a little foward of the front struts. but the 3SGE is a heavy unit. would be interesting...

are you refering to the skyline rear diff? i went for a ride in the car when he was trying to sell it whole. i thought it would suffer from lack traction being front heavy but it sure did pull some g's Daniel.

I was searching thru our local trademe site (similar to ebay) found this little gem. was originally in a GT Caldina with just RWD. went damn fast. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Car-parts-accessories/Toyota/Engines-drive-trains/auction-140200443.htm?p=2 very good value for money...

Flange plate pics, they are a thing of beauty..... i have the next few weeks off so i hope to all but finish the exhaust manifolds. will post progress pics for fred.

I got my flange plates on friday, laser cut by north shore laser cutting in auckland. $130 pair cash they are just beautiful.... many thanks to whom ever it was who made that cad file that i used. Cheers, Daniel.

hey what do you normally get charged for a pair of 1uz flanges and do you supply the file, and.... is it a nice shape and not profile cut from a gasket?? cheers, Daniel.

I didnt much like the log manifold. they are not to bad but i wanted something better. so am making my own. ill post pics here so u can see what im up to..

I have not had much progress recently due to the lack of decent flange plates available, hopefully i will have that sorted in the next week and will start on the turbo manifolds asap. pics will come in a fast blur like fasion..... just for fred. Daniel.

Hey ive e-mailed northshore laser cutting, i expect an answer some time on monday... will let u know as soon as i do, i need some asap but i have asked if there is a bulk discount. Daniel

cheers dude, i should have done this before but i found a file on the forums that someone posted last year..... http://lextreme.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=6742&d=1196685220 Thanks Very much to Cobber for posting that. i will update this thread when i get it sorted, im sure the Nz...

Hey lads, am having terrible trouble tracking down some header flange plates here in New Zealand to make my exhaust from. every flange that is made locally is profile cut from a gasket, the shape of which is perfect for a gasket but is absolutely useless as a header flange as it has the wrong...

Some progress. turbo's held in place with flat bar while i do some measuring: unsure if i should go 4 into 1 or 4-2-1, the amount of room i have will dictate this. I have been crawling the net for pics of TT UZA80's just to get ideas from Gearbox in tunnel money shot.... actual box...

Thanks for the words of encouragement gents, I think the gearbox will fail because of the cheap chinese turbos,not the turbo's 1st. They are,from what i see, a reasonable copy of the garret parts that make up a T04E/T3 (.63) hybrid, alltho they do use 270deg thrust and a non water cooled center...

i have a plan, a plan so cunning in fact,you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel.... ah yea, speedo shouldn't be a problem, should be able to recalibrate it like you would with a Tach that runs off an ecu as the T56 box has a magnetic pickup similar to the auto trans from the 2JZ. MR2...

Indeed, bang for buck is what i am aiming for with this project, all parts i have bought on the cheep have been proven reliable thus far by friends of mine using these same parts the only gamble is the low torque rated T56. Daniel.

Hey folks, A project that has been in the works for half a year or so.. 93' JZA80: 91'? UZZ30 1UZ-FE soarer engine (perfect fit in the supra crossmember/mounts) 2004 GM Holden Commodore T56 box. (TUET1660) 350ftlb rating. Nascar second hand Quatermaster Triple Plate clutch. Cheap...
