Moustachio's swap (or rather PW's swap)

[Moustachio]

...Well, I'm atually getting Mr Woods to do it (hopefully in 3-4 weeks time)... but thought you might like to see some pics anyway of the car as it currently stands (with 4age still in); (heck everybody likes seeing pics right!?)

Been tinkering with cosmetics... so far swapped leather interior for cloth (leather had seen better days and the car is going to be used as a trackday car, so cloth is best); SC mirrored t-bar glass and the Team Dynamics... also have SC rear lights to go on soon and Paul is going to paint and fit an SC engine lid...

anyway....hope you enjoy...

[OlberJ]

That looks good. :thumbsup:

I think i know what this is in for too, will be cracking to see how it turns out!

[Paul Woods]

It's in for a 1mz olie :)

[biteme]

Another mini-missile to come out of Woodsport then!

[Paul Woods]

I should coco...

[biteme]

You are coco

[smccullie]

I will be watching this one :popcorn:

[OlberJ]

It's in for a 1mz olie :)

Last minute change of heart or a different project?

[Paul Woods]

Completely different project mate

[Moustachio]

Yep, going the 1mz route (and hopefully the alternative supercharger when he's designed it), LSD, 5th gear mod etc...

It already has uprated brakes (celica) and Koni springs and shocks allround.

Should be pretty :evil::evil::evil: when finished... can't bloody wait to get v6 glory, to say I'm excited doesn't even come close!!!
:hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::hyper::blowup:

[Diesel Meister]

Tidy motor - will make a nice V6 warrior. I approve :thumbsup:

[Moustachio]

Yay! Some utterly pointless pics for you!rotflmao:freak3:

Delivered the '2 at Woodsport on Good Friday...(630 mile round trip!)

going over the Old Severn Bridge...

[pinny]

Great choice, you wont regret it. The sound of the car afterwards makes it all worthwhile. I have not been in a MK1 V6, but judging by my Mk2 it will be stunning performance. You could not have left it in better hands either!

[Paul Woods]

Time for an update, we have been hard at work preparing the 1mz for this build, it has Ferriday bi-metallic gaskets and we done a special job on the top cover that we have never done before, i think it looks pretty darn cool...

The Mk2 NA gearbox has received an LSD upgrade and also the WS extended 5th gear mod.

[Moustachio]

Ooo... liking that a lot! :)

[Diesel Meister]

That looks awesome Paul - nice work :)

[snowtigger]

Looking very pro there mate should be a stonking little ride when finished.

[Paul Woods]

Sorry for the lack of updates, just been very busy! Anyway here is where we are, engine is in, 99% plumbed and wired up, exhaust is to make and WS radiator conversion to carry out, other than that she's there!

[Moustachio]

:))))))))))))))))

[Garbe]

No movement of the rear fire wall required?

[Paul Woods]

Not on a 1mz mk1 Garbe, only the 3vz versions need the wall moving due to the awkward shape of the plenum.... a 1mz fits a Mk1 a lot nicer.

[Paul Woods]

The exhaust system is now fabricated, using a mk2 magnex on this one... just waiting for the lambda bosses to arrive before final fitting...

Naughty.

I shall go home and give mine a run in tribute!

[Moustachio]

Quick update:

Its dragged on a little this one due to lots of little mot repairs needing (oops!), including thanks going to one of the previous owners for putting brake hoses on the wrong way (front hoses on back, back hoses on front)) ... Paul's sorted it all though, and just tyres to go on the back and geometry settings to do.

I've booked my train tickets (£88!!! bl00dy rip-off!!) for Friday 2nd July to collect it!!!

Very excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snowtigger]

You could have flown cheaper mate, it cost me that from kings Lynn to Stockport robbing bar-stewards on the train by air Manchester to London return £90 on easy jet.

[Moustachio]

Its about comparative I found. Cheapest flight was £52, but I'd still need to travel to Cardiff and obviously from Newcastle to Durham....

It would be marginaly cheaper, but less faff/easier on the trains (assuming they turn up/don't get delayed etc!)

I might add though I had to book each train ticket individually, if I'd have just booked one ticket it would have cost £103! Madness

[GregLeBon]

Paul: are you going to modify the plastic cover so that the writing reads the right way round on future conversions...?! :eusa_whistle:

[snowtigger]

no he likes it like that its the irish in him lol .

[Moustachio]

don't worry they are the 'correct' way round now :thebird: :icon_razz::icon_razz:

Anyway, insurance sorted now too (surprisingly cheap), (through A-Plan btw).

just tax to sort now

[Paul Woods]

Actually they are the wrong way around now :) Toyota face all of their writing in that direction, even with the stock 4age.

[Moustachio]

I'm collecting this tomorrow... :)

wish me luck for the trains etc...!

[snowtigger]

Good luck mate and enjoy it hope to see you at a club event sometime to see this little beauty.

[Moustachio]

Well folks it didn't go quite as smoothly as I hoped.. but I guess that’s what happens when you use public transport... got stuck in Darlington for an hour and a half while they tried to talk some nutter down from the via duct in Durham...

but I got there in the end ...

The car, well, it’s awesome! Really pleased with the supercharger lid... first thing I noticed as I approached the car for the first time in 2 months... was really impressed with how much time they’d obviously spent polishing and detailing the car inside and out... it was immaculately clean! The next thing I noticed was the magnex exhaust, and was pleased to see Paul had altered the rear valence so that there was symmetry for the twin exit. The engine lid was lifted and the work of art that now sits in my engine bay is really something to behold. I'm also loving the stock interior, Paul did a great job of calibrating the dials, so sitting in the car there is no clue as to the thunder behind you! I'll get some pics soon, but it needs another clean after about 400 miles of driving... as a quick run-down... basically the power is on a par easily with a Turbo Impreza I used to own... and noise (although actually quite restrained due to the use of a magnex) is fantastic.. not chavvy loud but when you open it up the v6 just sings and certainly attracts some surprised looks! You’re certainly aware that it’s behind you as you can hear the intake sucking in gallons of air! I've not opened it up fully yet either... (I've kept it under 4000rpm so far). I’m glad I had the Woodsport rad upgrade... I was stuck in horrendous stand-still traffic, M1, M62 etc... and it was a scorchingly hot day, the temp gauge didn’t move from just below the halfway point (watch this space for track use). As instructed I took it very easy for the first 200 miles to Shrewsbury (was stopping overnight at my folks) but I had to turn the fuel pressure down quite a bit as the first 56 miles saw half a tank gone :O, and it was obviously running very rich due to the smell of petrol fumes...(combination of rich-running for running a new engine in and the wallbro pump firing gallons of fuel in at a time), So after the first 200 miles of running it in...I turned the pressure down...I got just over a 100 miles to half a tank yesterday running 1.5 bar (as opposed to 3.5), but there was a fair bit of spirited driving involved ;) I seem to remebr getting about 280 to a tank from the 4age, so its probably niot far off given there's two extra cylinders to feed.

So what do other people get fuel-wise on a 1mz-fe in a mk1?

Overall, it’s an awesome conversion to get done... and I’m very happy... (my god the Astra was a come down this morning commuting to work!!) utterly transforms the car performance wise (I can’t even begin to imagine how quick a 2gr is!), power to match the looks imo, but you never feel it’s too much for the car, and the car feels more planted, not heavier just planted, which could also be a result of the battery up front, the LSD as well as the different engine.

...oh and I love starting it up as well... love the sound of the 6 cylinders springing into life in turn 

[nik]

fantastic news chap..very pleased for you
:brill:

[Moustachio]

God its so awesome... the noise is epic :)))

Someone please hurry up and sort the Scion supercharger !!! ;)

[Moustachio]

First trackday coming up this Saturday, wish me luck, cross fingers for me etc ;)

Its at Llandow if any S. Wales lot fancy popping over to say hello, passenger ride etc..

[Moustachio]

Bit late after the event writing this, as I was hoping for some vids which unfortunately haven't materialised... anyway...

Apart from one hose and two turkish baths the conversion really stood up to the track abuse... the alloy rad upgrade really performed well... and the pace of the car is fantastic, was overtaking skylines, caterhams etc! I've now replaced the offending hose (note that this hose has been fine for normal/spirited road use), with a Samco... so I'll see how that lasts at the next trackday I have booked at Castle Combe.

The only downside is my brakes... so I've been ordering new discs and yellowstuff pads (which I hoping will fit after some modification). Will let you know how that turns out.

Cosmetically... I've finally fitted the sC rear lights... pic taken at Retro Rides Gathering last weekend...

http://www.woodsport.org/forum/images/recovered/2010/08/132.jpg

Right I'll stop talking to myself now! ;-P

[Diesel Meister]

Noice!

That really looks the part. Packing a meaty bit more performance than other unsuspecting pilots would credit = big grins.

Now, where'd I put my keys....

[MartG]

Looking good there :thumbsup:

Nice to know some parts of my old SC live on :smile:

[briweekes]

Very helpful pics there. Been thinking of using my existing plumbing and backbox for the 3VZ-FE MR2 MK2 conversion, had ruled it out originally as I though the final exit tail pipe diameter might be too titchy (where it exits the main back box). It'd be great just to have the reworked or new Y section.

The pic above shows similar diameter to mine (pic of mine upside down, below)- can I ask what's the performance like with Moustachio's exhaust??

Cheers

[Moustachio]

thanks for the comments folks!

Its a mk2 magnex exhaust and the performance is fantastic :)

[Moustachio]

Managed to cure the smell of petrol fumes when windows are down...

If you get the same problem, try Tony's fix

http://www.mr2mk1club.com/repairsp25.html

worked a treat.

[Moustachio]

Well I do like a bit of driveway mechanics!

Put on new rotors and redstuff pads (for the front they are for a Subaru and require modifying to the bottom edge to meet the profile of the carrier (ST165 calipers)...) didn't all go well though hence n/s rear carrier required ... why is it always the last fekking bolt! Put Yellowstuff on back.. hope I don't upset the braking too much with different pads. All good fun. God knows what my new neighbours think.. they only moved in last week ;D

[OlberJ]

Team Dynamic wheels aint they? What do you think of them mate, quite light?

[Moustachio]

Yep, TD's, good wheel, very strong, and pretty light, good value imo. Would recommend.

[Moustachio]

Well as you might have seen from my other post, managed to snap a wheel stud!...

anyway its always good fun replacing a wheel stud at night on the driveway in the dark! Simply would'nt have it any other way ;)

Looking good mate

[adamh]

nice shots of the car,. i did imagine that was what that little valve was for on the front crossmember, nice to have it confirmed i'll maybe try that fix if i get fumes. is it also working when you fill the ca,r pushing the air out?

[Moustachio]

Seems to, it has completetly got rid of any whiff of fumes... give it a go, literally took 10mins!

[ESBJIUJITSU]

Car looks amazing! Do you have any videos of the supercharger setup running? I would love to see the sights and hear the sounds!!!! Kudos on the great work! Any extra pictures would be great too.....show that beast off! :)

[hmmmmm]

Do you have any videos of the supercharger setup running?

Did i miss something? Was there ever a SC in there? It has a SC engine lid and what not but its still a NA 1MZ V6 i think :)

[ESBJIUJITSU]

check out http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?16857-D-pegs-V6-Scion-supercharger-kit I thought he had dynos of a 1mz with a procharger. I could be wrong. :)

[Moustachio]

Yep it was SC'd by Rogue Motorsport over winter last year using the Scion charger.

here's a short vid of my mate screaming when I put the foot down at combe (sound isn't great I'm afraid... also spot the deliberate mistake of rotating/flipping the video the wrong way around so the car is now left hand drive... d'oh!!)

http://vimeo.com/49557859

[ESBJIUJITSU]

thank you for the video!!! Do you have any of the build pictures? Looks really amazing!!!! What where your final numbers and at what boost? also was that the stock TRD TC SC pulley size?

[Moustachio]

289.2bhp, 257.2ft/lb at the wheels :)

stock boost of 7/8psi. standard pulley size... so plenty to come, but I'll need to think about internals before that!

Its an absolute monster on track and the noise is out of this world (sounds like a jet!) :)

Well worth doing.

Sorry, don't have many build photos as they were all on my work pc and one weekend last month work decided to bin my pc and move me to a cloud type server :(

[ESBJIUJITSU]

oh no sorry to hear about the loss of pics!

Thats perfect power honestly, especially at the stock pulley size, i have heard on many of sites that the most efficient setup is running about 9.5 lbs. That would easily put you over 300 hp.

Are all those numbers prior to intercooling??? If not what intercooler setup are you running?

The sounds are certainly amazing, exactly what im looking for in a build but ill be tackling it with a 3vzfe and will be building the motor prior to install so i hope to be able to push the stock v5f to its max at around 14psi :)

Thank you, your build is just wonderful!!!!!

[Moustachio]

those figures are after chargecooling

well its not my build it's Rogues! ;)

Good luck with your build dude.

[ESBJIUJITSU]

thank you! if you happen to take any more videos of the current setup under the hood and maybe another driving video please post them!!! I would love to see more! :)

[racerADS]

thank you! if you happen to take any more videos of the current setup under the hood and maybe another driving video please post them!!! I would love to see more! :)

I second that. Supercharged V6 is pure motorporn. I love my 3vz but to be able to crank it up to those figures would be amazing. Great stuff.

[ESBJIUJITSU]

those figures are after chargecooling

well its not my build it's Rogues! ;)

Good luck with your build dude.

Do you have any information on Rogue, so that we can contact on kit pricing?

[cdwood2010]

I think this is them:-

[ESBJIUJITSU]

thank you! I will inquire with them. i sure wish we could get some more videos of this amazing setup!!!! :) hint hint cough cough op!
