MKII foo

[GrimJack]

That, sir, is cool. Nice to have another fabricator show up, and even nicer to have another old guy around. Anything that brings the average age (and IQ) up another few points helps!

I miss my Mk2s... I'm seriously tempted to either find an '84 that someone has put far too much love into, or find one and put my own elbow grease into it. Problem is I've never tried body / paint work - engine and electrical I can do fine, but those have rarely been a problem. At least not on the Mk2s I owned.

PS: This is probably the most technical introduction thread I've seen to date!

Some I know are members here. Some may know me too.
I generally avoid moderation and prefer medication...medification..dammit...modification.. there.
I get into trouble but will try to be good.

Mostly a 5/6MGE guy. But I have good study habits. I hear old guys fine.

I made this.

There is more, if only they knew your interest.

You deserve it. Do it.

Welcome. Good to see another Grandpa on here. Your work looks fantastic. I will be watching future threads for updates concerning the ITB's on the 7m. And would love to get ahold of something like that for my NA if it would be doable.

You had me at hello. (tear). You sound like you know enough to be dangerous.:icon_bigg . Glad to have another knowledgable member.

My application developer deal is to dyno first, then install and do a back-up dyno. In having done the TE, VE, and ME calculations I understand where the stock peformance is to occur.

But removing the stock intake tract is not without fault. True Toyota restrictor-plated the intake. But they achieved very high VE of 111% at the torque peak of 4400 with accurate pulse tuning acoustic supercharging.

At the stock hp peak there is only a VE of 104% and it was only possible by pulse tuning. The stock cam duration is so conservative that the port timing is brief.

I show a 15% horsepower gain can be achieved on stock cams with standalone. Aftermarket manufacturers claims of improvements must show benefit. A 15% improvement is a worthy sales tool. But that is only the beginning.

I have a selection of cams and headers to test. Then my massaged head. Sorry. Proof of benefit of our set of forged rods and pistons. Titanium valves upgrade proof of benefit. The studies are completed and the ITBs and manifold are the first pieces of the testing to be undertaken.

The developement team will continue with testing as I assemble the 7MGE manifold. The 7MGTE customer has until spring but is eager. I'm going to follow some new ideas about cylinder versus runner and plenum volumes with the turbo manifold. The ITBs are a far bigger advantage than is understood.

Thanks you guys. I have been between the forums posting the data for the builds involved. There's another in 7M N/A on an HKS t61 build.

I should get the Itbs tomorrow or Tuesday.
