LX470 with 1HD-FTE Conversion

[gbentink]

Hi, been meaning to start a thread heer fyi of readers.

Still no pyro, but have had a base dyno with a minor boost mod to maximize before fuel cutoff.

Dyno results for 1HD-FTE Auto 5spd, done in 4wd in 4th.
132kw @ wheels, 17psi, very little smoke - very light grey; not at all noticable on the road from a standing start standing right behind the car on a bright day!

Also with factored losses on the dyno, 165kw and 503nm @ flywheel. Torque pancake flat to 3200rpm then drops like a rock.

I was so certain it was better than average - they usually do ~ 110wkw, not sure whats so special about mine.

I certainly is impressive to drive anyway.

New hi flow turbo has been balanced , I just need to assemble. However, I will do the intercooler and exhaust and fit gauges and totally max out the stocker before I change something as radical as that.

Also plan on fitting a Q45 MAF so that I can check if increasing boost after a certain point does in fact increase mass flow....

What is your minor boost mod?

You know, that 1HD is really a terrible motor. Just awful, really, you should give it to me before you have any trouble

Seriously, this sounds like a sweet mod, though I gotta say:

I think the minor boost mod is "more".

So those numbers are with no intercooler and small exhaust? Wow! 12 extra valves and a brain really do make a difference...

That's impressive for a stock motor.
