So with the twin turbo setup how much power are you looking to get vs the 1fz? How is your axle to oil pan clearance?

Congrats on the new motor and refund. I hope that everything pans out with this one, despite some of the damage.
The compound turbo setup will hopefully be good for the full use of the injection pump which is around 400hp a few more than that but I don't remember the exact number. I'm aiming for 300-350 hp. Shouldn't be too difficult given the bad motor on 3 cylinders was more spirited than the 1fz gas guzzler. I barked the tires accidentally by dropping the clutch too fast when I was doing initial testing. I have hope that the replacement motor, if good, will be able to easily turn my 40's. Helps that I now have part-time and 2-Lo.So with the twin turbo setup how much power are you looking to get vs the 1fz? How is your axle to oil pan clearance?
I would love to see and drive you car when it's all done.
Did I ever mention maybe that I am jealous? Sometime in the past 5 minutes maybe?
What axle ratio are you going to have on your car? 4.11?
I put a thumb screw type airline valve on it. Made the brakes work but it doesn't allow vacuum to build quick enough to be safe. Booster feels kind of choppy too.A pressure regulator on the booster vacuum line would probably solve the brake issue.
I'm not using the land cruiser transmission. RPM calculators put me only a couple miles per hour less at the same RPM's I was running before. Freeway I should be doing around 2300 instead of 2100 for the same speed. The Mercedes transmission would require a divorced transfer case and it's not all that strong to begin with. @Dragos80 keep in mind also that the Mercedes diesel redline is pump governed around 5500 RPM and the DPUK pump is safe to around 7000.I think you are under geared with the stock TLC tranny and axles.
What was you criteria for keeping the TLC transmission instead of using the MB one?
