its europes biggest import car meeting with 10k+ of people!!! this year was absolutely insane!!!!(~490whp/700Nm). Its a CM FX400!!! I had to reduce the boost to0,8bar, it slipped a bit, but it was fine for a good time there. 
.. Love the look of the car... It's similar to what I've got planned for mine to an extent. Those rear wheels are FAT though and don't look out of place at all.. Now it looks the part too. I didn't know you could simply strap a turbo to the 3VFZE.. i asked, if i should push my iron 3vz to 1,2bar with a new multiple disc clutch or i should put the fully forged 5vz in the car. Currently they voted 30:8 for the 3vz!!! What do you think about it? It's a newer more refined block with higher torque and bhp outputs.

Selling up my highly modified and restored Rev 1 V6 3.0 1MZ-FE VVTi I got a brand new 5vz block in my storage. So the question is and was, which engine i should go now. I have to change the clutch so or so! So the effort is nearly the same if changing to the 5vz. But my concern is, that i could find any weak points on the engine when boosting the 3vz to its limits!!! It is still a stock engine...just changed the headgaskets to new oem, cause blowed a set!...Selling up my highly modified and restored Rev 1 V6 3.0 1MZ-FE VVTiiecku wrote:Depends more on the power than on the boost itself! 2GR is no option in anyway! It´s a got na engine, but nothing more.
The target are true 500whp! Is not so far away.
I was thinking about boosting it to 1.2bar on the dyno. The rollers on the dyno only have 500kg total. So its moment of inertia should be way lower than with the car on the street, perhaps the clutch could hold it!.... just incredible you are making that much power without blowing the motor up.
@paul: Yes...some years ago and the engine still lives! In my opinion the engines could do way more in a well tuned application than their rep is, when being stock! It seems the bov opens a bit....i can see a small dent in boost pressure and the iat´s are raising extremly this point! I choosed the Synapse DV Bov...cause my twinscroll setup spools the turbo that fast, that compressor surge occur! The GT35 also has this T04Z style anti-surge compressor housing! When this problem is solved, i will change the wastegate spring and look what happens on full boost! *g*PW@Woodsport wrote:Heiko it still blows my mind that you are doing all of this to a stock V6 engine that i built and installed for you all those years ago.
