i love how your head just pops out of the side window when you are behind the foggy windshield.

Kane
12-16-2007, 02:28 PM
HEHE - good times.

At the end that was Doc driving - him and Failsafe went all kinds of crazy in our untested Land Cruiser - as you can tell.

Thanks for the credits! Glad to help keep you guys going out there.

I totally agree you should find yourself an old International Harvester Scout with the 4.0 4cyl and pimp it out"over the top mount" stylee.:lol:

Kane
12-17-2007, 04:08 AM
I think the "over the top" turbo is going to be my new signature...

I can make a kit for an RX8 too...

you are my hero Kane!

Kane
12-17-2007, 07:09 AM
LOLZ - every time I read this again it makes me laugh - gah we are such goofballs.

We spent the day making fun of John - the 80's fashion victim with the Canadian Tuxedo.... :rofl:

NICE! how did you cut your face?

Kane
12-17-2007, 10:32 AM
I was trying to use a 30 lb crowbar to hoist the engine an inch or so to route the exhaust up on top of the engine - and it slipped and beaned me in the head... war wounds.

I now have a scar BTW - good thing I was ugly to start with!

Glad you saw it though!

dmc27
12-18-2007, 10:52 AM

I miss that one guy who always does the flex-point pose I love so much!

I really loved the "sponsored by" contribution to the fellas!!

Kane
12-18-2007, 11:42 AM
LOL - yeah he wasn't interested in the car build... sorry!

hough2696
12-18-2007, 11:52 AM
WHAT?? You tell him that an admirer was very disappointed in him for lack of interest in the build!

12-18-2007, 11:54 AM
I totally agree you should find yourself an old International Harvester Scout with the 4.0 4cyl and pimp it out"over the top mount" stylee.:lol:My dad had one of those while I was in my late teens. With that torquey motor and full locked diffs, that thing would go through or up anything. We could go places in the Michigan sand dunes that our friends Land Cruiser couldn't go without getting stuck.

Kane
12-18-2007, 11:54 AM
Will do!

"Dude, this hot chick on RX8 club was digging you... but then you weren't in the LC build...; so she was all bummed..." HAHAHA

12-18-2007, 11:56 AM
Ummm, yeah...you can leave out the hot part. But cool..

MrWigggles
12-18-2007, 11:58 AM
Kane,

Do you have copy of the fuel maps you used? Did you de-screen the MAF? How did you solve the Land Cruiser's notorious LTFT problem?

-Mr. Wigggles

chetrickerman
12-18-2007, 11:59 AM
you can leave out the hot part.

why?

hough2696
12-18-2007, 12:08 PM
^Cause if were going for accuracy......

chetrickerman
12-18-2007, 12:09 PM
. . . . you would be using a sniper rifle????

Kane
12-18-2007, 12:13 PM
Kane,

Do you have copy of the fuel maps you used? Did you de-screen the MAF? How did you solve the Land Cruiser's notorious LTFT problem?

-Mr. Wigggles

Well - it was tricky.... but the solution I found was to not care - it really eliminates alot of variables.

The fuel map is below:

Boost = As much as we can
Fuel = As much as we can
RPM = As high as we can get it

dmc27
12-18-2007, 12:14 PM
The whole video kicks ass. Still want to see a vid clip from the passengers seat, though. Is there nobody w/the fortitude to ride shotgun and film???


i love you

what good is that - you don't even have a soul!

Kane
12-18-2007, 12:17 PM
Ummm, yeah...you can leave out the hot part. But cool..

LIAR!!!!:cwm27:

Kane
12-18-2007, 12:18 PM
Yeah - I meant to get passenger views; but forgot - Failsafe was the passenger; and enjoyed his CO exposure for the day - but AFTER we got the LC stuck in the sand, I got distracted by pushing it off the beach...... wa wa waaaaaa

chetrickerman
12-18-2007, 12:40 PM
what good is that - you don't even have a soul!

lies. it didnt sell. wait, your right. i dont have one. but i still love you

GOD DAMN that's the ugliest downpipe I've ever seen.
I gotta copy that...

Kane
12-19-2007, 04:21 AM
What downpipe??? HAHAHAHA

The welding wasn't underwater so that is why it sucks..... uhhhhhh yeah, thats the ticket heheh.

Kane
12-19-2007, 04:26 AM
BTW - The hot side (midpipes) were made with some LMTV Exhaust (5 ton truck) and the cut up pieces of the OEM exhaust....needless to say there was a lot of patching and bending required. HE HE HE

Kane
12-19-2007, 10:05 AM
Question - who wants 8 minutes of turbocharged burnouts????

Or should I make it all Hollywood?

Pics in a sec - WE FIXED IT!!!!!!! GD - this thing has Ballz...

U haven't seen nothing yet...

chetrickerman
12-19-2007, 11:35 AM
that is just too funny. a box on wheels with skinny tires doing a burn out.

Kane
12-19-2007, 12:12 PM
Oh yeah... its that time!!!

BTW - Disclaimer; again we spent no government money at all; nor did we exceed the speed limit - we just warmed up some tires (it is cold here) - :lol:

But seriously, we do have to follow rules... so no one call Congress.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpCsja7hTRQ - Enjoy.... we did!

chetrickerman
12-19-2007, 12:17 PM
its cold huh? how cold?

Kane
12-19-2007, 12:22 PM
Cold enough to wear sweats - watch the video....

chetrickerman
12-19-2007, 12:28 PM
i cant. youtube is blocked at work

Kane
12-19-2007, 12:38 PM
The Land Bruiser is officially retired from spirited driving - it will now live out it's days as a tow vehicle for the Dive Team.

Thanks again for all the positive feedback.

The fuel map is below:

Boost = As much as we can

RPM = As high as we can get it

Intercooler = removed for weight savings :lol:

You are insane :beerchug: (wait, can you even have beer there?)
Fricken awesome!

MazdaManiac
12-19-2007, 01:07 PM
The secret to tuning - the less you care about the vehicle, the faster it will go.

Kane
12-19-2007, 01:10 PM
Truer words were never spoken Jeff!

And no beer - which does explain a lot doesn't it?

Kane
12-19-2007, 01:36 PM
Wrong thread... :lol:

Show her mine - and ask if she wants the over the hood treatment Ray....

HAHAHAHA - bet she runs for the hills!

12-21-2007, 12:56 AM
frickin' sweet, loved listening to that thing spool coming from that truck lol It was like watching a geo metro drive by with a vette motor in it :lol:
So I spotted a humvee in the background, when's it getting the treatment? :D:

Kane
12-21-2007, 01:11 AM
No need. There's plenty of room under the hood. Maybe even small twins with dual exhaust?

Who said anything about NEED?

This is all about Engine Bling - YO! :rofl:

Kane

HEHE - I thought of it - but they are way too heavy. There are Turbo Hummers here - but with all the armor; they are still pretty slow. When you have a Humvee that rides like a cadi - you know it is HEAVY!!!!

Props to Toyota - that engine is a champ! I would guess the bottom end is the same as the supra? Maybe not at this is a 4.0; either way it never gave us trouble after all we did to her...

Kane
12-21-2007, 01:17 AM
I really want to race the Security Force for pinks...... HAHAHA; but sadly - that will not ever happen...

CnnmnSchnpps
12-21-2007, 01:26 AM
Priceless. I was hoping you would mount it on 2x4s :lol2:

I demand a compressor map, dyno sheets, and 1/4 mile times! Oh, and whp and gas mileage...

Kane
12-21-2007, 01:31 AM
I demand a compressor map, dyno sheets, and 1/4 mile times! Oh, and whp and gas mileage...

Compressor Map actually can be found online for - KKK Volvo Penta Turbo; in Swedish though.....

Dyno - I was going to draw in crayon..... HAHAHAHAAH

WHP - Bunch More
Torque - Can't get traction at anything over 1/3 throttle in first or second gear
MPG - Bunch Less; but since I have only driven it MAYBE 8 miles since I got it..... hard to say.

We broke the drivers seat too..... the ghetto rigging wasn't up to the acceleration challenge...now it has a built in recline feature - :lol:

Kane
12-21-2007, 01:34 AM
I was going to map out the Flow - but then I realized I have 1 Turbo Option and 1 Engine Option.... so does it really matter?

CnnmnSchnpps
12-21-2007, 01:37 AM
I'd like to get this treatment for my 8, but my budget is kind of low? Help???

Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

LOL - yeah I saw that too; but hey innuendo FTW right?

Kane

Just re-found this while cleaning my sub box out - LOL

Bump for random stupid stuff.
