Project Thread LS 400 Single Turbo

[Fasteddie]

MR2 pump didn't work: not enough power, annoying whine etc etc....total failure on a car like the LS400.

That's good info - I'd always heard nothing but positive things about the MR2 pump. Did you try an early pump, or one of the later models?

Too small hey??? The tow truck style pumps might work...
What vehicle is the electric pump off then?

Keep in mind they pull about 50 to 60 Amps..

Ok im crossing out the 12v pump idea hah. I have an upgraded 140amp alt but thats just too much current draw for me. I have a batt relocation, amplifier, supercharger draw, I dont think I have 60amps of leaway.

Ok, the coilovers fit and the powersteering is finally working as it should.....
When the roads are dry here, we can start testing this car !
FINALLY !
...stay tuned...

Awsome! Autobahn watch out haha. Im sure its going to pull from 100-180 no prob.

^...I guess thats in miles, right ?
Peak power has shifted from 4500rpm to +/- 6000rpm....and I have never ever been closed to half throttle past 4500rpm with that inferior air suspension...
And with that longer differential we should hit 200mph at 6500rpm......

Yeah MPH for sure! haha. I bet if you floor it going 90mph you'll still break the tires loose


What width tires are you planning to run?

 

[Fasteddie]

...10J..285 rear tires or so....first test the motor on dry roads....

How much money would you say has been spent on this project so far? If I had to guess I'd say 30,000 euro

...took some pictures today (crappy phone):
Rims are Manaray: 285 rear 245 front 18"...
Car is an animal on the road, will do a new dyno session this friday just to check everything before using it as a daily

 

[Fasteddie]

...went to the dyno today. We produced consistent results compared to the last dyno, no problems even after several hours on the dyno again.
First readings were a bit low, found out the turbo was only pushing 14psi ...so now we are back again at 21psi through the T88 ...

 

[Speeedy]

Hey Patrick,

nice to hear that your beast is running...!
If possible please show us your dyno results/sheet...
and your actual setup (cams, injectors etc...)

BTW nice rims...!!!

Alex

 

[Fasteddie]

Hi Alex,

setup is still the same, cams are stock (for now, will go the 264 soon) and dyno result is the same as last one (535 rwhp). Injectors are 670cc or so.
2. fuel pump etc. etc.

Today I got some new 18" rims: genuine TTE forged toyota rims...8,5J front and 10J.

....oh, forget to mention that we dyno'd in 3rd gear and we almost hit 280km/h at 7000rpm on the dynapack !...3.2 diff + Boostlogic transmission did a good job.

So this car will go 170mph in 3rd gear !...should hit 200+mph in 4th reaaaaaal easy

LOL nice With the 2.92 (but manual 5 speed) mine was geared for a top speed of 413kph at approx 7500rpm It would never have got there but would have smashed 200mph i reckon?
