Performance parts for TB42, TB45, TB48, 1FZ-FE interest???

[marko]

Hi Guys,

Firstly, let me introduce myself.

My name is Sean Gannon. I am an engineer, and have been building turbocharged street/race cars for about 12 years now. I have been a Toyota fan since I could drive, and currently have a 1972 Toyota Crown which has run a best ¼ mile of 10.23@140.5 mph. What has this got to do with you blokes that own 4x4’s you ask?

Simple, in my search over the years for a motor to power my race car, the engine that has proved to be the best performer for me is the mighty 1FZ-FE from the 80 and 100 series landcruiser.

To date I have extracted over 900hp from one, and I am currently putting together a full-house, methanol burning example that I expect will deliver over 1300hp and have the ability to push the car well into the 8 second zone in a full weight car (not a tube frame dragster)

Obviously, as I’ve been diddling about with the 1FZ-FE motor for quite a while now, I’ve had cause to search out bits and pieces for them, and have also found the Nissan stuff at the same time.
(With relatively simple internal mods and suitable turbo/management, 1000++ reliable hp is available from the TB48 and 1FZ, whilst it is also easy to set them up to deliver 500hp all day long with almost no internal mods, and power available from under 2000rpm)

As a result, I’m considering pulling it all together and becoming a source for such parts for others here in Australia and Just thought I’d try to gauge some interest in performance parts for the 1FZ-FE, Nissan TB42, TB45 and DOHC TB48(awesome, awesome engine)



So, to explain, I can now source/have made up the following stuff for-

Toyota 1FZ-FE (includes parts for both 80 series and 100 series cruisers), but also for Nissan Patrol TB42, TB45 and DOHC TB48

Available parts

H-beam conrods (rated to 1200++hp)
Lightweight Aluminium conrods for drag engines
steel crankshafts (not 1-off units, these are off the shelf units)
Stroker kits for 1FZ and TB48
Cast turbo manifolds
Forged pistons (any desired compression available)
Copper head gaskets with integral o-rings and silicone bead seals to eliminate coolant leaks (no machining of block or head required)
Head studs
Camshafts (stages 1-5 available)
Adjustable cam wheels for 1FZ
(and the list is growing daily)

This is not really an advert-At this stage I’m just trying to get a handle on demand to see if it’s worth my while, so if you are interested, or if you know of someone in the 4wd/off road racing community that may be interested, let me know so I can work out what will be popular.

(feel free to email me directly also guys)

Hey

Have you ever done a crank up n/a 1ZF-FE. Not sure if true but I've of guys geting over 300kw n/a. If you have is all the power up top

[MS-75]

I haven't done one myself, but I can see no reason why not.

6 throttle butterflies, lightweight pistons, monster cam (280-300duration, 106 lobe sepn, 400+lift), masses of porting, 12:1 comp, 8000rpm. I see no reason why 80-100hp/litre would not be achievable.

As you say though, it'd all be up top..........

[Juzza]

yep-almost ready for market

Forged pistons.
1200hp rated rods.
Billet stroker crank.

Cost is not pocket change obviously, but still a fair less than the Crower kit.

What capacity will this give, same as the crower kit???

exhaust manifold for a 1fz-fe ?
please, how much?

I got a Tb42 and running a turbo on it and i'm thinking of building a engine not sure what i'll need but i want something to handle 20 - 25psi boost everyday and neaver have a worry in the world and be able to rev it to redline and no probs..

I currently have a stock engine with brand new head and running 15psi and getting 225rwkw on 33's and would be more on smaller tyres and happy with the power at the moment but u always want more..

Car doesn't even produce enough oil blow by to push enough oil into the catch can only enough to wet the lines.

So yeah some sort of rebuild kit maybe or peformance rings and pistons or whatever would be needed to make a strong engine that i don't have to pop the bonnet all the time making sure everything is okay.

Cheers

Runs straight LPG by the way and would have a second converter added for new engine.

[mud4b]

just looking at the pic on the other page...

the engine has a toyota badge on it.. weird..

can you get anything for diesels?

cheers mark.

[dansedgli]

Can you get turbo manifolds to suit a TB42?

[ELF_83]

got a few spare TB 42's lying around thingin bout doin up a new comp motor with one of them stroked and bigger turbo's than i have now, but i still want to be able to rev the snot through it, 4.8 would be good if i could find one at the right price to modify any idea's on stroker kits for the tb 42 or where to get cheap 4.8

[raptorthumper]

Any news on building new 4x4 turbo engines MS-75 ?
