Builds 2F + (3F-E) = 2FETI Into My FJ40

[matt.mcinnes]

Well it's time to start work, I had planned to pull the engine out after Vic Winch Challenge in late Aug and have the new 2F-ETI ready for comp in March 08.

Someone had better ideas though and moved Vic Winch this week to late Nov

So things have moved up a little. We would have had a good 6 months to play with to do this in now we have just over 3

The engine builder has now been told to source a short motor 2F for our needs and start work as I don't have the luxury of time to pull mine out and play with that.

This will however mean I have a spare tweaked 2F in the shed.

Now the one thing we have not yet discussed in detail is the Turbo, the engine builder is looking at at least 300 hp but maybe as high as 400 hp depending on boost

Now I have been searching through the net and I am pretty spoilt for choice the question is, who make a good Turbo Charger?

For my 2c I can't see us making it in time but we will give it our best shot to be ready for mid Nov and the new Vic Winch dates.

Hi Matt,
Regard to our disscussion this morning. The estimated horsepower is 400 @ 5000rpm, Blower boost required approximatly 12lbs, compression ratio 8.5:1 and camshaft specification duration 220deg @.050". Valve lift .475" approx
If you require any further info please contact me.

Regards
Col

Who has any experience with these?

Turbonetic

Garrett

Any recommendations?

Matt, if you wanna know about turbo chargers, prob best to head over to a performance car forum such has Hot4s or fast 4s etc, guys over there would probably have alot more experience with turbos and what sort of engines they are best suited to etc..

Tks not a bad idea at all, I hae been reading through the tec stuff on the Garrett site and my head hurts

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Well after a few days in a dark room with my 14 year old daughters scientific calculator we have concluded I suck at math.

My Daughter however says the most suitable turbo size would be a Garrett GT3582R I new I had kids for a reason

Also the Nissan Skyliner injectors are not compatibale with the fuel rail grrrrrr close but no cigar so back to the drawing board there, are well only $50 Aus back on Ebay they go.

Don't know if this helps you, but back when I was looking at building my 87 Supra Turbo, one trick everyone used was early Lexus V8 Injectors.
Fit perfect and had a lot more flow.

I have no idea how either relate to the 3FE, but it might be worth a look?


(Also swapping in the V8 air flow sensor gave a lower reading for a given amount of airflow. The whole system when tweaked a bit with fuel pressure and bypassed airflow would trick the factory computer into running withing it's mapping )

I *thought* the factory Supra turbos were Garrett?

could be wrong though. I think they're a good product though. Make sure you get one that's oil cooled and plumbed into your oil lines. That was much better than a sealed when I was into it, but it's been a few years and things might have changed???

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Had a good search around for Supra Turbo injectors and can't find anything in Oz that does not involve changing the fuel rail and other bits with high enough flow rates

Came up with these is the states TOYOTA Supra 87-92 Turbo 550cc Direct fit Injectors by Venom on an eBay

Big thanks to the Akarilo and his thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=163559

We will go the same way for the exhaust manifold to the turbo

Only difference been I will go a 2 into one collector at the T3 turbo manifold

 

[Klunky Chris]

dang!
thought maybe they would be interchangeable....

did you check on any of the Toyota V8 stuff?

The ones I found in the USA on eBay are an after marker stright swap 550cc as apossed to the 213cc originally fitted with. These will do just fine.

V8 injectors tend to be smaller due to more cylinders and the flow rates for a Turbo are far higher.

The Supra ones were a great Idea, Much better after market performance parts for these and only $20 shipping to Oz

Just an update on an earlier post now I have the Jaguar con Rod specs.






Jaguars straight 6 Cyl 4.2Ltr E Type con rods come in at 7.75 center to center the new JE pistons will be more akin to the 3F-E and the hight of these will set the compression.

Today I got to touch them

Now on with the 3F-E headers, the PO had just hacked them off at the exhaust pipe and as always sods law applies 3 out of the 4 exhaust bolts were no problem at all the 4th is now round

Ah well another little job for the tool maker at work before I shot blast them ready to be ceramic coated. I was also tight enough not to throw out the heat shields which I think may now come in very useful Oh yes and to find something to fill that strange hole in them that I can find no use for.

Matt,

The big hole in the exhaust manifold was probably for the EGR. I used a freeze plug to fill it.

 

[Trollhole]

Some good stuff.

[matt.mcinnes]

Well a little more bling, now time to send the headers off to be ceramic coated

 

[matt.mcinnes]

Con Rod Bolts are coming from ARP

GREAT!
Glad to help! I'm enjoying this thread too much!

 

[matt.mcinnes]

The headers have gone to Jet Hot for their Ceramic Coating
