Would it be possible to add the amount spent to get each car to where it is now? Just so that members can scope the possible range of improvements based on price.   s:D :D s:D

I'll pass on that one - between me and my chequebook. If anybody wants to though, feel free,

Anyone got some recent info on this? How much boost can a 1zz take without any internals or head mods? Usual intake and exhaust freed up with forced induction of course.

I see Mike_V gets ~260bhp and ~235lb.ft on a stock motor but not sure what ratings that motor is tuned to. Seem like very large injectors being used also.

I'd like to get ~200whp which looks like 240bhp and more importantly I'd like a flat spread of ~200lb.ft torques. Is this reasonable and achievable on a budget?

Thanks

No posts for a while, so I thought I'd throw mine on here :

Age of Car
2005 SMT

Miles
31k on car, 3k on build

Engine
Stock 1zz block and heads with 31k miles.
CC 3.9kg lightened flywheel
Exedy stage 2 clutch
Stew's special SMT fluid!
Stock fuel pump and regulator

Turbo Mods
Homebrew turbo system comprising :
Mamba GTX2860RS Billet BB .60 .64 Nissan SR20DET style with Stage 3 actuator. 6psi spring.
Malian turbo exh manifold, catless downpipe and single exit 2.5" system (all off the shelf).
HomeBrew w/a chargecooler - eBay radiator, bosch pump, eBay 5x8 barrel cooler. 12" Mishimoto fan.
440 DW Injectors.
MAC 3 port boost control solenoid.
Custom intake, breather system and cone filter.

Electronics
AEM EMS4 with full closed loop O2 control, boost control, knock control. Twin boost settings.
MWR EMS4 SMT harness (extensively modified! ;-) )
AEM AFR Gauge with 4.9 Bosch WB.
Innovate Oil temp / Pressure gauge
AEM Boost Gauge.
Bosch AIT sensor. Factory MAF and AIT also retained for TCU shift calculation.

Specs
247 WHP at 6250, 261Lb Ft at 3300. >225lb ft 3-6.5k
11-13Psi dependent on RPM (high boost)
10Psi flat (low boost)
7400 RPM Redline.

Stock internals seem fine at 260Lb Ft. Map and cam advance optimised for torque whilst keeping injectors at/below 85% duty.

We did one run at 95% duty - 316BHP / 275 Lb Ft! Don't think it would have lasted long at that sort of output.
