twin turbo 1UZ i saw on the weekend...

[weirtech]

it isn't complete, but is well on its way. thought it was a cool project. it is a kit car from a place that builds replica kits somewhere in michigan, i think they are called race car replicas. there is a local shop that puts them toghether here. this is another 1UZ engine with twin kkk turbos all putting power through a porsche tranny of some type. it will make 750hp when it is all done. i'm not sure how heavy it will be but it is a complete aluminum frame so i can't imagine it is more than a couple thousand pounds. there is some pretty baller parts on this thing, especially the fully billet cnc control arms.

does anyone know what intake manifold that is on it?

Thats gunna be amazingly fun to drive.

modified factory one with extra throttle body by the looks.

That's Fran Hall's (Racecar Replicas) SL-C "demo" car. IIRC, he had the 1UZ built locally and the twin intake manifold made from two existing ones.

He's selling quite a few of those cars, and the hot setup currently is an LS7 with a Ford GT Ricardo transaxle.

 

[1uzvl]

looks to me as if the starter has been repositioned off the transaxle.

I'd be very surprised at 750hp from that set up.

The stock lower manifold will restrict it to no more then 550.

can you explain this statement further? i'm not entirely familiar with these engines. i don't understand how runner size can prevent power being made in a f/i application.
