Re: KZJ78 Air box

Nice one

Pointless fact - as well as stop water, the chambers are also there for silencing the intake tract noise and are sized/tuned to counter the harmonics of the engine coming back up the intake.

The more you know

Re: KZN185 Surf: Just want a reliable horse

yea its strange because at the moment its only mods really are an intercooler added, yet google returns nothing for a 1kzte dropping boost. i think i can rule out that much pressure drop across the cooler, and will thoroughly check for leaks in the piping. ill have to keep trying things, take off in...

Re: KZN185 Surf: Just want a reliable horse

line pressure seems to be okay if a bit on the high side but im not concerned. heres one for ya, the boost pressure is dropping pretty badly from 9ish psi to 4psi, only in second gear @ high rpms 2.5k-4k. doesnt seem to do it in any other gear. is this the result of the crap factory exhaust? wouldnt...

1kzte injectors

Can anyone shed some light on the two different types of injection nozzles available for the 1KZTE engine? What years and what versions of the engines they applied to? I have been given a set of 093500-5630 ' s but all I can find suggests these are for the manual pumped version, the 1KZ-T. They seem...

Re: KZN185 Surf: Just want a reliable horse

I recon you could do it. There's still heaps of room there between grill and bumper. Piping would be the hardest bit, you'd have to shift that factory fusebox. I only ditched AC as it didn't even fart when I tested the valve and I like to drive windows down anyway. Yea cheers , radiator was somethin...

Re: KZN185 Surf: Just want a reliable horse

That would be (possibly) going where no man had been before ...If there was a charger that could bolt up where the AC was easy enough I could be keen, just because I'm crazy. Maybe a twin charge set up with the turbo and the super?

Here's some gauges

no timing belts to worry about i guess is why its much easier, as its a push rod engine. how confident are you with motors? theres not much can go wrong.

Re: Not starting

unless it dropped its piston rings overnight, you dont have fuel or spark - at least not at the right time anyway. are these motors efi or carburetted? check/charge up battery first - a tired battery might not start it. distributor cap got water in it? fuel pump actually pumping fuel to the injector...
