Marlew work van getting power up grade

well the time has arrived and the little work van is being modified.
after being beat by a suzuki swift by 0.3 kw
it was time to do something about the lack of power.

the little van is a Toyota lite ace 91' model
when i bought this van it was a mess so the old motor came out and a 5K went in (1500cc)

but i had a drama with the gearbox NO 5th gear.
the poor little thing at 90Kmph you were half expecting the motor to jump up on the seat beside you.

That in its self wouldn't have been a biggy as the motor would have sat there quite easily
hahaha.
Any way;
After measuring up every thing under the van and then the donour motor and box.
Earlier this week the job has started.

the old motor and box come out,then a couple of crossmembers as well.
just a little bit of the back of the van has been used up as well.

Now the time comes to see if the every thing will go in the massive hole i have created and line up to the diff?????

After a little juggling and moving around the place.
IT BLOODY FITTED.

Yesterday was the day to make the crossmembers for the engine mounts and also the gearbox crossmember
today is finish off all crossmembers then start mounting the Go bits

stay tune more to come as it gets done

You'll be able to change the plugs as you drive check the oil.Good thinking Mate.Going to be a bit warm on your side, better keep those heat shield on those turbo's.

Craig ;
problem solvered mate
I made a down swept manifold and put a T67 Greedy single turbo on it.the turbo sits just above the engine mount.
and the top of the manifold is about 5" away from the engine cover.
But yes the heat shield will go on as well
i start making the new intake manifold tomorrow as that has to be lower as well.
the throttle body will be about the height of the power steer pump in the pic below
NO air con pump OR power steer pump
power steering is going on the van (Nissan silvia)
that rack and pump looks like it will JUST about bolt straight in there ...(famous last words)hehehe

well things are progressing along nicely.
the front section of the floor has been cut out and radiator mounted.
also front of van has been cut to mount another air intake for the radiator
intake manifold is being welded up.
the drive shaft is on (cute little thing) about 7" long from uni to uni .
if that spits out i won't even hear it hit the ground.
and my computer arrive this morning (thanks Andrew) this is going to be scary.

well things are moving slowly along;
front bumper has been cut and meshed.
front mount has been fitted.
tunnel from front of car to motor has been completed.
i sat here for 2 hours on sunday sorting out what wires went were for the haltech (only to find out several wires had been cut back and thay were wires that i needed) and started the rewiring of the engine and coil packs.
single 3" exhaust is finished.
things will slow down on the van now whilst i move workshops.
the aim is to have it all done with in the next 2 months.

First time I have seen this.

Looking good Lew :-) As others have said, need 1/4 times :-) There is a damn quick 1jz hiace from NSW. Runs 11.1's but the mph is down because of the brick like aerodynamics :-)

Liteact being a bit "lighter" ironically should be good. What diff are you using? brakes? chute? :-)

What is the stock weight of a liteace?

Chris;
weight?
Mate i have no idea but i can push it around the workshop easily with the motor and box in it.
Chris i recon the weight would be around 1 ton I will take it down and weigh it when its finished
diff?
that will be a hilux limited cut down with ladder bar set up eventually
using the hilux rear brakes
the front brakes i am still thinking about that one possibly a set of TT soarer .
chute? may have too.
that will come later,
I don't want to go over board with chutes as the car will be still street driven right now
but before it is track ready it will be fully role caged .
Being a very short and narrow wheel base this thing is going to be scary.
fuel system is now done
carter lift pump 2lt surge tank
044 main pump 540cc injectors.
intercooler is in position with air ducts in place
Just need to do the pipe work for intercooler this week end and then the wiring starts

Well guys its that close i can smell the rubber burning.
having dramas with the Haltech
what a pain in the arse system it is.
The Van is at another workshop getting the Haltech sorted out
if it comes down to it by next friday and nothing has been done to it i will rip the haltech out and ram it up some ones clacker and put a microtec in
By looking at the Microtec site it will be a heaps easier system to fit and even i could get it done in a day

Microleb?
Neil; I recon i won't need the brakes to get it motivated to start off.hehehehehe
O yer Neil my truck!
sittin on the engine when finished
not enough leg room if the motor is up front (quad cam)
The back and side of block (drives side) sits right were the clutch pedal was.
and it has to be a lazy under the arse as well
the rear of the front leafs will be right at the end of the standard chassis then the lazy after that so i can add 2 meters to the lenght
it all starts next week end

No mate just the wiring diagrams not being correct
I was told on the haltech that BOTH cam angle sensors had to be wire in
and a mate down here told me about the wiring on the CAS being the wrong way from what microtec states.
I really think i am going to have to bite the bullet and buy a microtec

Great work Lew! What ecu did you end up going with?

You have probably checked it already but the speed sensor at the rear passenger side of the auto will need to be connected for the auto to change out of 1st gear. I had that issue initially :-)

More pics? :-)

Nar mate the cam belt is easy ...there is more room than the soarer has.
BUT if the cam covers have to come off the engine has to be dropped or i have to cut about 15mm out of that cross brace just above them.


up date.....
well i found out last night i had a wire connected in the wrong spot (rpm signal)
and now i have to sort out some sort of speed signal for the supra stick.
thats my job for this morning
then i better get and do some paying work.LOL

i am going to take it to Hi Torque on the coast here.
i am just about to ring them to book it in

If it helps any, my mate had a t67-25g on his stock soarer apart from FCD (stock injectors) and ran it up to 26psi with it untuned on stock ecu.

Motor never died...surprisingly :-)

Goddammit Joe! I got the email notification and didn't even check who wrote it. I thought Lew posted that he just made 450rwhp!

Not saying he won't but that would be bloody impressive for a first tune session with this engine that he was worried a little about letting go :-)

On the edge of my seat for the dyno figures :-)

BTW don't know if I missed it but what version of T67 is it? 20g 25g?

well the saga continues
just found out this morning that the Haltech has an internal problem it can't pick up on the water sensor.
so now it will have a basic tune and then the computer sent to haltech to sort it out.
a word of warning some 2nd hand computers are a right royal pain in the arse.

im feeling your pain mate... not good!

bet your regretting not getting the microtech now..

Hope it all goes well and dont cost you an arm and leg with the temp sensor fix.

i have similar probs with the way my ecu is set up. The water temp sensor it wired in but the jumper was never changed in the emanage. somehow this is altering the temp signal to the stock ecu and messing with things.. atleast i know under load when it is hot its ok to boot it.

picked the van up last night,
I still have to send the haltech off to be checked over
BUT the van can still be driven (sort of)
the tune has restricted the revs to 4000
and boost to 3-5 psi,
BUT
even at that its instant steering lock.hahahahahahha
at 40-50kms it is on 3psi of boost
and wants to launch its self down the road
not forgetting it has been limited to 4000rpm
the gearbox is changing
But as Ben pointed out to me on the phone that the speed sensor isn't the best sensor to run the supra stick from
so i have to check out some other sensor to run it from
not really fussed about that as it will be manually changed most of its life.
so monday the haltech gets sent off for repairs and then its back to the tuner for a decent run on the rollers

Sorry Lew, I feel guilty, I will apologize, even though I had noooo idea. I certainly didn't tamper with it as you know.

Interestingly, I would love to know why they took the temp sensor chip of the circuitboard. How they knew what to take off, the desire to do that, and how it could possible work with it missing?

Could be to make the ecu run in cold mode all the time, but 1) its a programmable ecu, who cares you could program around this anyway. 2) you can just wire a resistor in to get around it.

Absolutely confusing....

Although Karim, did give some excuse about the car not running well when I bought it off him due to injectors changing, and all it needed was a tune. Obviously there was something more wrong with it than that...

thats a good one mate.
don't know about carving in tomorrows crap
but i recon my arm will be long enough to pull his heart out through the same hole.
i sat down last night and worked out that this ecu and other parts of the kit (stuffed ignitor.stuffed coils.)and then paying some one to sort out these problems.
i could have fitted a NEW E11 haltech and had it tuned

Well i have just got back to the workshop
from the dyno.
5 hrs of dyno time and the result was not to bad.
i was actually expecting more.
BUT we didn't push the boost through the roof.
I have a small leak in the intake gasket around number 2
and just behind the throttle body
so when the result was shown i thought thats enough
then the dyno guy said youbetter add another 10% to the result as the dyno is out
so in total i have a toyota lite ace that will kick arse.
you ready now .HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

i have another one sitting on the side that i have a mechanical LSD centre to fit in it.
but i have to make sure the axles will fit in the centre
thay are actually an AE86, Tarago,diff

Craig leaving here on the 26th
so i will see you on the week end following
i will be in Ballarat at mums and Josh's then reepas.
then Anglesea to see my brother
then to your place and finaly home again.

some thing like that

"O" yer its great not hitting the rev limiter any more.
we played with the supra stick so it would stop trying to jump off the rollers
so some of the settings are screwed now
i will have to sort them out this week some time and also fit the manual controls for the trans.

BTW good dyno result :-) I made
230rwkw@15psi with smaller turbo so it probable is a little understated if the tune is good :-) Depending on weight you should be able to trap around 115mph which is good for an 11 with about 1.7 60 ft :-)

Good stuff :-)

In a normalish more aerodynamic vehicle, I get 117mph for 1.42t or 3124lbs and 249rwkw. So probably about 115mph with your brick :-) For ref, there is a guy with a gt35 1j that was running 32psi with a pretty decent tune on c16 and he was trapping 122mph. Ran 11.1 though cause it launches like a mofo! A cressida with similar power will trap around 125-127mph and AFAIK they are a tad heaver than hiace at 3350-3400lbs plus driver :-)

Can't wait to see your van race! Have to get vids! I am off to Japan in a month so I may not be able to get there to watch or race you :-( Unless you want to race at streetcar shootout on 24th Nov :-)

BTW for your ref most hilux's are 1410mm drum to drum whereas hiace's are 1470mm. I have hiace in my car and it isn't shortend so I am limited to using wheels with high +ve offset. 15X6.5's with +45 at the moment. Fronts 15X4 -10 :-)

Tai;
"O" ye of little faith!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahahahah
I have raised the front up a little and put new shocks and stuff under the front.
It is still very tight in the arse end
but that can't be helped (YET)
With the weight between the front and back axles it actually sits better on the road
and is nothing for it to hit 170kms an hour
and feel not to scary at that speed.
mind you i only did it once
and when thay(nuts)dropped back to were thay should be i felt a little more comfortable.
HAHAHAHA

really it does sit better on the road.
just trying to sort out the shift pattern on the auto controller
i seem to have got it fairly well right up top
just have to do some minor adjustments for cruise.
then set up the manual controls.

I met Lew yesterday at the caltex a bit north of sydney to pick up my exhaust.
As we headed towards sydney he gave the van a bit coming up my right side.
I must say its somewhat embarrassing watching a little blue liteace fly past your soarer like your standing still.
The van is awesome and sounded sweet.It was pi#@ing rain to so i doubt i saw the half of it

The dramas have started.hehehehehe

well little ones any way;
about a month ago i melted the forward friction plates in the trans.
the only good thing about that was the trans stopped slipping hehehehehehheehhe
the diff also decided it was time to end its life.
well i can't blame it for giving up.
Poor little thing...

So Aristo auto with shift kit has now been fitted
just connecting the B&M pro rachet shifter
and MV's auto computer box thingy.
Diff is a 2wd hilux (pick that up on Monday)

Exhaust has been changed to a nice neat side pipe
because the diff housing was belting the 3" exhaust pipe to death over bumps.

with the diff going in it next week i can then work out how far i have to cut out the back to run mini tubs the tyres will be 31" high on 15" rims and am looking at around 10-11" wide.
i will see how i feel when the time comes.
any way that about it for now.

Lew, what is there to fitting a pro ratchet? Is is just the shifter that changes or do you have to manualize the auto as well?

Oh and by the way you are slightly insane, but i love the van

Scott
Mate you don't have to manualize the auto
to fit one.
The shifter is a great idea for drag racing.
You can just belt the lever and you know it will only hit the next gear until you belt it again.

SLIGHTLY INSANE?????????????

hahahhaha NAR mate I've lost it.hahahahahahaha
i think it all started because the year we moved up here from VIC it was one of the hottest summers up here
and my workshop was so small i had no room to put any thing so i thought i better use it or loose it!!!
I lost it.LOL

Well, if you're gonna lose it... seems like a good way to go!

Do you use the MV auto's brackets to mount or did you make your own?

Scott;
Mate i haven't yet used the MV's shift controller
I have had some dramas with coupling 2 push/pull cables together so i can select the gears properly
I have got to get a single cable made up next week
So with this drama I will leave the supra stick in the van until i get the cable.
the B&M is in

I now have an Aristo auto in and a G series Hilux diff
this morning i am replace the rear wheel bearings as one is making some noises.
Other than that with a LSD diff in it now
it is Bloody awsome to drive
I have now got 2 diff centres 4.8 and 4.1 ratios
once i tub the bum with the drag slicks then i will decide what ratio will stay in it.
with a 4.8 ratio diff and 26 " high wheels it is reving about 4000 rpm at 100kmph
so with 29 1/2"high slicks i am yet to see what happens

Up date;
Had a few leaks in the intake manifold due to warping when it was made (now machined flat)
It will have to go back in on the dyno shortly for a check up just to make sure after the manifold being corrected.
Well after fitting the 4.8 diff in the van it was screeming its tits off.
so out it came.
it now has a 3.58:1 4 pinion LSD out of a 2002 hilux.
F**K me does this thing fly down the M1 now.
2000rpm and its doing 105kmh
Supra stick has been removed and a MV Auto controller has now been fitted
combining the controler with a B&M pro ratchet shifter is a very good combination
the best control over the auto
so now with more control it shoots off like the rocket it should be.
also having the B&M in there you have 3 gears on the shifter and also control over the O/D and torque converter lock Via a switch.
hahahahahahha
Still getting used to that side it doesn't like it when ya forget to switch the O/D off and then try to take off.
But if ya forget to unlock the torque converter
BOY O BOY what a difference that makes.

So now it is Brake up grade time for the front
the backs are hilux all ready so that is good.

Hi Lew,
is the 3.58:1 diff out of a manual hilux? They would be the ones marked as an A series diff but are still 8" and interchangable with the old g series right? Also, if you don't mind me asking, how much do they go for?

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAH
Well bugger me
I didn't realise how long ago i did that van.

Well it is still going But is very close to be pulled down and the running gear transplanted into another body.
It now has a 1.5j in it with 150Hp shot of nos down its throat.
it still has heaps more potential BUT in the van body that is rusted out it is not a wise move
It has 502Hp it is on Youtube under Ballistic brick dyno run.
