wow, i can see how you spent that many hours! i can appreciate just how much went into this porting effort.this is huge. i didnt port my turbos(apart from making wastegate holes flow more) as i wasn't sure if it was in the spirit of "stock turbo" records. GO THE CERAMICS!!!

Blake - it was a lot of work, I'm thinking that as long as the turbo wheels and internals are stock that it's still standard, a bit of metal from the intakes etc doesn't really change the basic turbo. Also anyone can do that at home without sending away an paying a fortune for highflowed steel wheel ones. Aaron, I'm trying to find the inlet manifold pics, I've got a feeling the missus deleted them from the camera. I smoothed out any casting marks in the runners and polished them all with fine emery tape, for the main body I removed a fair bit of metal just inside where the throttle body bolts on and again just removed all the casting marks and any lumps then polished it. The small section that is between the head and the manifolds I polished as well and removed the ridge all around the inside. I used a burr in a drill for the heavy stuff and then a piece of copper tube with a slot in it(like a flapper wheel) and emery tape to clean it all up. I reckon I spent 80hrs plus on them all up. Also did the runners out to match the gasket size. Jamie - MT Radials at 20 psi.

Great work Jeff!
I agree that the porting of the turbos but leaving standard wheels is still stock turbo. You are currently 16th quickest 1jz powered vehicle outright also

Sorry Daniel, it's been one of those days... No DLI, new coilpacks from US and I think I have the Iridiums back in, I had better pull them out and check. There's a Nostalgia meet on in a week, so I might give it another run. My son is trying to organise a trailer so I can strip it out a bit more and make up a 3 inch pipe so the exhaust comes straight out the side near the the back of the driver's door.

doesn't hi-flowing them make them not stock?
Rob, they are not highflowed, I just smoothed the inlet and outlet of casting marks and opened the inlets to the same size as the gaskets. I am sure highflowing involves bigger impellers and machining of the internals etc.

Seeing the potential of this makes me wonder why I have stuck with V8 soarers for so long...
cause those turbos on the v8 with half the boost will the run the same time. But jeff car is running real great keep it working awsome jeff. soarer to the world!!!!

Well, dropped my V8 soarer in for a single turbo setup with a T04Z turbo, will have 9-12psi (with current mods, pretty sure will do high 11s). V8s just sound better..

I was thinking the other day that I have said the timing has not been done, I should clarify that and also acknowledge Cihan's help and input with the E-manage tune. I am using one of Cihan's tunes that I have modified the fuel map on using the wideband to road tune it. I have not touched the timing map from what was done by Cihan. It could already be at the optimal power level or I could possibly get a bit more out of it. Any way thanks Cihan for you initial advice and expertise.

I ran a 11.61 last night, I will post the timeslips on monday. I was getting wheelspin at about 10 meters from the start. I think it might be a suspension problem, it seems to squat at the start and then bounce back and loses traction. My son is going to post the vids on youtube. Managed a 1.68 60 ft so that was an improvement. I dropped the exhaust off and ran avgas, hopefully get a stall and tune on the dyno for the next meet.

I have had a MV Automatics 3200 stall fitted this week and am running tonight at the Test and Tune. Hopefully I can get down to 11.4 if the stall does what it's supposed to.

hi mate some very nice work there, look forward to seeing the result of the high-stall.
i have ported my t3g exhaust manifolds, and got a nice change from that but have a question for you.
how did you get that far up the intake manifolds runners.
also noticed that the t3g's turbos pressurized air exit is the same size as the gasket BUT the gasket is larger than the hard pipes (the ones between the turbos and the first intercooler pipe), did you port these pipes, if so how did you do it, as they are very long.

Marc- for the straight bits I just used a longer length of tube with a slot cut in it and wound with emery tape. Just use heavy emery tape to start and fine to polish at the end. For getting around the bends I used some garden hose as a flexi joint with copper tube on either end. It was bit dodgy but it worked. I used a proper burr bit to open out the ends to the same size as the gasket. It's surprising how much metal you can take out with the drill and emery tape though.
Friday, November 27, 2009 - 02:02 pm, by: Jeff Bedsor(Jeff_bedsor)
I just used a 12mm copper tube which fitted in the drill and the garden hose and another on the end with the slot to take the emery tape. With the long straight bits I used a 6mm bit of solid bar with a slot cut in the end with a hacksaw.

Excellent work Jeff. 11.6 is fantastic - plus I like how you have kept the exterior.
