V12 Twin Turbo Liberty

I did come good on those plenums by the way

To give you an idea, the 1gz-fe uses the same oil filter as a toyota dyna truck/van thing. It was MASSIVE. Sized down to help with fitment of stuff and off the shelf parts.

Cracka better come good with the plenums he promised.

Just a bit of fiddling around today. Had to make an adaptor to fit a different oil filter as the original filter was enormous and fouled on the compressor cover.

I turned up some bits in the lathe and then tigged them together to rduce the thread on one end from 30mm to 24mm.

You can see some serious rice in these photos. Sti spec c buckets. Win.

[QUOTE]Did half the exhaust today. Would have got more done but had to remanufacture an alloy race sump for Face's mootec speedway car.











Dash is also out as I had to

[kiks]

Mostly finished the exhaust. The rear section is only tacked until the diff goes in.





Ground clearance.

My manifolds, pics and fab by me. Winning

I should mention at this point everyone on the internet who is also an expert on log manifolds is an expert on T6 6061 alloy, and this 3mm sheet will obviously crack on their advice, and if it does, it is obviously the end of the world, not a 35 second job to tig up.

Best summed up by my brother (Az of RSLC fame for any old school guys around, the first to do a EJ235 before playing with subarus was cool enough to have forums about it)

[QUOTE=myshortyboomba;841331881]between the weight over the front axle, the log manifolds, the bogan auto and rwd and now the tight radius alloy bends, this project is destined for failure.[/QUOTE]

Cracka didn't show up today so i got some stuff done.







Everything but the oil cap fits under the bonnet.

I was around not at work on a weekend for once, and was able to go drink a shitload of beer and cut some shit up. Chop chop to a jdm legacy 3.0R sedan rear subframe and open wide for nissan 9" diff. So much awesome.

Did some more to the manifolds yesterday. Set up the bellcrank and 3 cables for the throttles.



CRACKA ACTUALLY DID SOME USEFUL WORK. WTF!!!!

He chopped up a spare subframe to allow the massive R230 diff to fit. Fits well, needs mounting plates welded in now. Then axles and driveshaft.

[kiks]

Been doing a bit on this when I can. Finished mounting and welding the rear subframe to house the R230 diff.







The crossmember has to come down about 20mm so the diff can clear the fuel tank, I am using Outback spacers for that.

Also decapped one of the injectors and had it flow tested next to a std injector. Stock injector flowed about 280cc, decap flowed 560, both with excellent patterns. Cracka will be able to run E85 if he wants with the decaps.

Have done some work on this.

Pulled the lower manifold to remove a no longer required heater pipe and sort out the knock sensor wiring(only using the inner two of the four).



Turned down the snout of the davies craig EWP to allow it to fit between bottom radiator tank and bits of engine and turbo.



Started the wiring yesterday, half of one of two looms wired. Need to consult Vipec tech to figure how to wire the injector pairs. Have figured out which Crank sensor to use with the help of Dale. Using the LH sensor which puts the two missing teeth at 180 BTDC instead of 0BTDC for the RH sensor.

Dale mentioned here is Dale from Castle Hill Exhausts. Recommend for anything tuning, ecu and fabrication related. The guy and his team are brilliant.

[kiks]

Did some stuff yesterday and today on this shitter.

Refitted the rear subframe and new diff. Looks like a short R230 shaft will fit both sides so will either get another short shaft or shorten the long one. Exhaust needs some minor rerouting(which is why I didn't weld it up in the first place).





Knocked up a balance chamber for vac fittings, still needs to be bracketed yet.

The bonus of 300zx TT shavfts is they are mega strong and mega cheap. 300zx's dont ever break drivetrain shit, so cradles are cheap as puss. Both rear subframes for this v12tt the the v12T conversion in the 190E were about $300.

Also speedflow = cant afford to have a vacuum leak on an engine like this. MAP + vacuum leak across an inch hole would see redline with no control. bad. People always question the speedflow, but safety first.

[kiks]

Its now we should look at how the japanese do it.

Total of 9 seperate ECU's? Check And god knows how many other random little boxes of diodes and resistors and shit as they are complete muppets.
kilograms upon kilograms of wiring? Check
Shit f*cking everywhere? Check
Stock block and 300hp turbos making 511hp at the wheels? Check. Dont believe the hype.

Thanks I'll take my one Vipec running everything, clear engine bay and airflow over that shit any day.

First start. Wired up nice and drunk, turn key, off she goes.

What little we knew what a 12cyl turbo toyota is supposed to sound like, this is actually running on only the left bank of 6. LOL Smooooth

[zorro]

Jesus on a bike, this is awesome!!

When discussing whether to transbrake the box I had the urge to start MS paint up.

12 Cylinders this time not just 6. Lots of whistling and shit because Iphone.

And how it sits after fridays effort on it.
New TH400 pan and a few other bits done.

And for those of you about to cuss out log manifolds with big wastegates and small turbos?

I refer you to the 6:39second mark of this video. Good enough for Pagani, good enough for me.
