a compliment, they are very far and few from you
new setup should be better, we have some interesting idea's brewing. this engine is pretty good, but, there is plenty of places more HP can be found. more efficient manifold design could pickup 50hp+ who knows. just gotta watch out for the engine trying to eat injectors
Keen to see what you guys come up with and what sort of gains you see.
I have ended up bypassing the issue for now by going with a built vvti engine instead, they have a much better stock intake (not that it couldn't be improved on too).
Dunno about good but boost does cure most flow ills, just look at how plonker no crossflow heads respond.
I'm pretty sure you are going to see good gains, even at the 1000+hp levels you are working at.
we are very happy, just hope what it shows on the dyno it will show at the track. even Vince had a hard time getting over the power it made. his dyno has been right every other time. *touch wood* it is now also. last time on the dyno with that fuel it made a little under 800rwhp, but, at the track with the mph it ran etc, it was showing around 1150hp @ the flywheel. so we are losing over 350hp thru drivetrain losses
dyno to us is more for tuning, if she runs 170mph on the weekend then we know the power is right, it's run a PB 8.20@166 with a little over 800rwhp that was with the race E85. on the dyno we still have the exhaust on and only rev it to 7000-7200rpm. at the track, exhaust comes off and spins to 8200rpm 
hey Kris, yeah mate he wants to sell them. not sure of a price, shoot me a PM and make an offer mate. they just have all been serviced and flow tests etc done.

ok, so not the type of update i like to report, but, we have always been upfront and shared everything. as you know we had fuel issues which included the pump etc. we went out a week or 2 back, fuel pressure was fine and the car didn't pop. but, the AFR was reading a point or so higher than it should.
we took the manifold off to put in the new injectors, unfortunately, the new injectors we got off a mate (fortunately, didn't pay just got to try) the adapter was about 5-6mm too big and wouldn't fit into the fuel rails properly it would hit the plenum. fortunately Northmead Auto Centre had a set of ID2000 in stock, so were were able to grab a set of them to use. they fitted in perfectly.
curious how the ID2000 compare to the Bosch Indy Blue's @ 50psi 7000rpm?

what we were shocked to find was that the injectors had made their way thru the manifold. they had been sucked thru somehow, 3 injectors were missing the cap and 4 missing o-rings. they had been passed thru the engine at sometime :knock: so it was drawing air in from the outside along with the fuel. the injectors were all gunked up as you can see in the pic below.
up close and personal into the manifold etc, factory lower manifold has proven awesome, we hear some people have troubles with them, but, seems to work for us. has been good so far for 1150hp@30psi on E85. just very basic setup, we have some idea's with the new engine and intake manifold which should improve it a bit
intake port
some fancy plenum with all the bell's and whistles? nope

From what I've seen the I.D's seem to run well at low rpm..
Where the 160's can over fuel ..
I hate bolts inside manifolds .. Way back I destroyed a GOOD Cosworth
engine in a rally cross Escort.. Bolt came loose which held air-cleaners to side drought Weber's...
I'm sure you guys would have nylock nuts or similar though..
Well at least you've found hopefully the miss issue ??
I guess it would have lost some boost as well ???
Tuff little engines, good safe tune !!!!

we are gonna take the car back in to Vince's today get the injectors done and run it up. we have Jamboree on Saturday and then Vince has a dyno day on the Sunday was over 80 cars last year!
there is definitely power to be made with a different intake manifold we have been discussing a few designs. the new engine is going to be a bit more special than this one, we are expecting it to be much more efficient.
don't think Joe would ever spend $4k+ on a Hogan's one like i have would probably work as we are both spinning ours to about 8000rpm so the runner length is good. much shorter than the factory ones, i think that is around 12'' so the hp would be down a little.

Yea.. When I was getting my Dart block built at Cylinder Head Dynamics..
Jamie Farmer was building his turbo 302 Capri..
Was amassed he basically boxed the upper with no bevel, trumpet, bell mouth [whatever they are called] for what it was, made good power..
Going by similar engines it seems short runners work with out issues..
Seems large or larger than N/A plenums work well...

with a turbo car you could throw a letterbox on and it would make a good intake manifold pretty much anything will work, question is just how well. we are happy with how it is going so far.
we put the ID2000's in and went down to Vince's tonight to re-tune the car. if we didn't have bad luck we would have no luck at all :evill Joe changed from the Toyo rears he used to dyno on to a set of Hoosier street tyres, let's just say Hoosier street tyres are not for the dyno
we couldn't put the power down on them, around 550-650rwhp they would just lose traction and go off like a siren. here is a video of a dyno burnout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YK2in18bJs
the big positive of the night, ID2000's brilliant to what we could get it tuned to. it's like a completely different car, more responsive, idles better and most importantly no more hunting at lower rpm. it drives like a dream
putting the Toyo's back on tomorrow and going in to finish the tune. unfortunately car is still on United E85 we didn't get a chance to remove all the fuel so we could try the new Race E85. engine is still going strong, it's clocked over 100 dyno pulls, 200+ 1/4 mile passes and 30000+km's of street driving. Toyota definitely know how to build a motor that will last with over 1000hp
we may also be changing out the turbo's pretty soon, we were going to put new Precision Turbo's on with the new engine, we may even do it sooner the new turbo's will be rated at about 800hp each

back from V&E Rigoli, we went down this time with dyno compatible tyres and had Vince re-tune the car with the new ID2000 injectors, and needless to say we are very happy. Vince had the tune done nice and quick, the old girl is showing more power than ever before and drives better than ever 
as said previously we were still on the United E85 so we weren't expecting too much, last time the car ran 8.28@167 she was showing around 800rwhp (600rwkw) tonight she knocked up 933rwhp (695rwkw), the boost was around 30-31psi, we are not sure if the turbo's are out or the wastegate springs can't hold the gate shut with anymore boost. we weren't expecting anywhere near that power, we checked the data input twice to make sure all the numbers were right and it was all good. in the workshop it was 27C, 1010 barometric pressure and humidity was around 40%.
it would be hard to credit a 100rwhp gain on the ID2000's alone. we think possibly there was some long term issue that we have now fixed without even knowing it
we are out at Jamboree this Saturday at Sydney Dragway, hopefully we can have a good safe meet and reel off some clean passes. the real show of power is the track, so hopefully she goes like a boss

912rwhp & 933rwhp dyno graph. pretty much same boost and AFR, just a degree or 2 more timing and it picked up 20rwhp

Jebus! You guys have got to be happy with that. No matter how the power was gained. Fingers crossed it shows the improved numbers on the blacktop dyno too.
Have to hand it to the people at Injector Dynamics, they certainly have got their stuff sorted out. I have more than doubled my injector sizing since changing to the ID1000's, running a completely different fuel, and it still cruised and idled like a standard car. Hopefully the new cams will fix that though, haha.

round up from Jamboree, no PB's car ran consistent 8.4's-8.5's @ 165mph all day. had a couple of small issues, car is a bit unsteady in the deep end now. after the wheelstand a couple months back new shocks were put in the front so it doesn't want to pick the tyres up too much. we think it may be causing it to get a little unstable in the deep end, Joe was actually quite worried, as he is used to driving it with practically 1 finger on the wheel, he had to use both hands.
had 6 passes, all but 1 (something on track, so it blazed the tyres) were in the 6.40-6.50 zone @ 164-165mph. the first 3 passes the car was very fat, was reading 10.8's. we leaned it out a bit for the last couple of runs, but, was good till shifted to 2nd it then just ran a bit fat (10.9-11.1) with the new ID2000 injectors it seemed to like more timing and leaner AFR.
the car isn't 100% but it was consistent, now it's just a matter of getting the tune happening. put the Go-Pro on the outside of the car this time, gets the front and rear just to see how quick it really accelerates you don't really capture it when it's in the car http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kg-VoEou_A plus Mark from www.fpv.net.au got a few of the runs from the stands http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsJCiq7CbqE
now some pics for the boys had some sexy promo girls come over for a few photo's. when the girls came i had never seen soooo many guys put their hands in their pants, to ummm pull out their camera phones was a good 10 of us all around taking pictures, sexy friendly girls, was a laugh trying to think of some sexy poses to put them in, can't get better than that took about 30 photo's won't put all of them up. the colour coding was an added bonus, they matched the car perfectly
Joe has the biggest smile on his face, might not have been running as quick as normal, but, a sexy girl or 2 can make you forget all about that
even though she has airbags, harness is still required

you needed to take her for a ride in the car with an in car camera pointed appropriately
tell me you at least got their numbers for "future promotional work"!!!
