  1. Hey Kerplop , you have left us hanging waiting on the dyno. Kinda like a supermodel going into your bathroom to change into something more comfortable and never coming back out............................................. Show us the goods we are dying . Lee (At least I am )
  2. Here is the merge collector for the turbo. Still having trouble uploading images
  3. We did everything the machinist could. Deburred. Shot peened ,machined for bronze bushings, arp rod bolts, resizing and checking for round journals, balancing, magnafluxing.and new bearings, He builds a lot of really high HP racing engines and thought the rods were pretty good. I was going to drop 2K on a set of rods but he said these looked like they could withstand some pretty severe duty. We shall see. At least you can weld aluminum if I put one through the block. Lee
  4. Here is a pic of the turbo . I had to drastically crop and reduce the resolution.
  5. My files are showing to be 1.73 mb but will not load. The older pics which are smaller files will load.Here is apic of the block stripped down
  6. THanks . I think a lambo must have an original motor albeit modified to be a lambo.Every time I try to upload pics from my I phone download files it wont let me. I can upload older pics but not these. Any ideas?
  7. Hi everyone,. I am new to this forum but had my Jalpa since 2011. I am in the process of trying to build the worlds fastest Jalpa. My goal is to hit 200 mph in the Texas mile. Reading Kerplops post really motivated me to get with it and do this. Kudos to him. I plan on posting lots of pics of the process and maybe create a roadmap for anyone wishing to do the same. My motor has been completely rebuilt with ARP head studs and rod bolts. The heads had larger valves made by manley and the heads were extensively ported. They flow about 25% more than stock. I built stainless headers out of schedule 10 weld els and had the rods worked and bronze bushings installed. I bought a Garrett 3582 reverse rotation turbo rated from 450 to 850 Hp. I am planning to make 600 HP on pump gas and well above that with race gas. I am currently fabricating the intakes and exhaust routing to the turbo. Pictures to be posted later . I hope everyone enjoys. Lee
  8. The problem is more the voltage to the motors than the motors themselves. The original system has way too much resistance. Check out my post on upgrade for Jalpa window motors on the other site. I designed Hav ea relay circuit that corrects the problem. Have you run it on the dyno yet?? I am dying to see the results. Also on mine I switched to a Garrett gen 2 3582 reverse rotation turbo for more space for the intercooler. I need to start a post on my build but want to see yours done first> Lee
  9. I am going to turbo mine and starting on the build right now.We are going to run a presicion 6870 turbo, It should produce between 600 and 1000 HP . Crazy numbers but they regularly do it with supras that have lower displacement and lower flow numbers. . I have already fabricated equal length runner and bend headers with stainless weld els 1.5In . The motor has been blueprinted, balanced, arp rod bolts and head studs, the rods worked with bronze bushings etc etc. The heads flow more than 25% over stock. I just want this to be a real supercar. Keep me posted on the output you get with the injection and ignition on computer . I can do all the mechanical , wiring and fabrication but have to leave the mapping up to someone experienced in this. I hope yours does great. I am really looking forward to your dyno numbers. Check out my post on the power windows on the othr site. It makes a huge difference in the up and down speed. I designed a relay circuit that corrects the problem. Lee
  10. It should be perfect . All of them are exactly spaced. Laust on the other forum has been running his that way with good results. I am waiting on my 3/16 end mill to finish up the slots. Are you going to turbo yours? If you do I found stainless head studs from ARP that fit perfect. They are the ones for the dodge turbo diesel. They will handle way more torque than stock. The lambo studs are pretty weak. Blown head gaskets are quite common. Lee
  11. I had to crop the pic . It showed to be a 1.6 mb file but would not take it . Finally
  12. one last try. All my other pics will post but this one.GRRRRR
  13. Lets try This. That is my head look at the valve size.They were substantially larger than stock . I am going to try the balancer one more time.
  14. I am trying a different pic. . It took this one. I will try to change the format of the balancer pic.
  15. Something is wrong. I browse, select the pic and then push the upload button. After that the file shows up in the browse window but never uploads. I tried multiple times. Is there another way to upload. Lee
