laythor 12-16-2007, 01:58 PM great video Kane!
dannobre 12-16-2007, 02:03 PM This is too funny....Great Job..........
chetrickerman 12-16-2007, 02:25 PM i love how your head just pops out of the side window when you are behind the foggy windshield.
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.
chetrickerman 12-16-2007, 02:31 PM yea, they were monster trucking everywhere :rofl:
Jedi54 12-16-2007, 02:39 PM HAHA!!! My first "officially" sponsored Vehichle! :rock:
This thing is bitchin' Kane, you're gonna miss it when you get back state side
It is way fun to drive - I won't lie... makes me want to get a Jeep kinda.
An old beat up one...... and a turbo........ yeah................
Razz1 12-16-2007, 02:47 PM It's good to see those guys have fun.

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:
I think the "over the top" turbo is going to be my new signature...
I can make a kit for an RX8 too...
paulmasoner 12-17-2007, 04:38 AM you are my hero Kane!
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:
VolcomStoneX 12-17-2007, 09:10 AM NICE! how did you cut your face?
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!
dmc27 12-18-2007, 10:48 AM bump for attention!
:rollingla
also needed to subscribe, cuz I watched the vid at home the other day but neglected to mention how cool it was.
A$$!!! :rofl:
Glad you saw it though!
dmc27 12-18-2007, 10:52 AM lmao.
I was trying to find it b/c I wanted to watch it again. Was in a rush Saturday when I watched it.
don't make me start an emo thread b/c you called me names!

chetrickerman 12-18-2007, 11:31 AM i love you
hough2696 12-18-2007, 11:40 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!!
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!
alnielsen 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.
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
XDEEDUBBX 12-18-2007, 11:56 AM reminded me of monster garage...good shit kane!!!
hough2696 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,
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!
Ummm, yeah...you can leave out the hot part. But cool..
LIAR!!!!:cwm27:
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
dozer 12-18-2007, 12:52 PM dude that is sweeettt......lol, and funny,,,but cool...lol
hough2696 12-18-2007, 08:12 PM OMG Kane, that sh!t was hilarious!! I especially like the credits/commentary and the music! I give it 2 thumbs way up!
HAHA - glad you liked it!
MazdaManiac 12-19-2007, 04:14 AM GOD DAMN that's the ugliest downpipe I've ever seen.
I gotta copy that...
What downpipe??? HAHAHAHA
The welding wasn't underwater so that is why it sucks..... uhhhhhh yeah, thats the ticket heheh.
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
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...
chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 10:32 AM hells to the yea
hough2696 12-19-2007, 10:33 AM The anticipation is killin me!
chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 10:35 AM i wont be able to see them til i get home

chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 11:30 AM :rollingla those are some pretty sweet burnouts
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.
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?
Cold enough to wear sweats - watch the video....
chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 12:28 PM i cant. youtube is blocked at work
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.
tdiddy 12-19-2007, 12:49 PM Good times, Kane! Good times!
For those wondering - yes we are that big of goofballs in real life.
restiller 12-19-2007, 01:03 PM 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
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.
Truer words were never spoken Jeff!
And no beer - which does explain a lot doesn't it?
chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 02:08 PM sorry, i just wanted to let you know. i will PM you and delete ^that one
I was just messing with you
dmc27 12-19-2007, 03:50 PM The final cut was absolutely worth waiting for!!!
That's just awesome.
:rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:
chetrickerman 12-19-2007, 04:46 PM that has to be one of the funniest videos i have ever seen
Show her mine - and ask if she wants the over the hood treatment Ray....
HAHAHAHA - bet she runs for the hills!
canaryrx8 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:
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:

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...
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...
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:
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???
http://www.getrichslowly.org/images/pflolcat.jpg
LOL ^
I have a cat in my thread - I guess that means I have arrived...
Werd!
It may be April or so for me...
Jedi54 12-21-2007, 12:42 PM Show her mine - and ask if she wants the over the hood treatment Ray....
HAHA!!! That could totally be taken the wrong way... :lol:
Get your mind out of the gutter!!!
LOL - yeah I saw that too; but hey innuendo FTW right?
Just re-found this while cleaning my sub box out - LOL
Bump for random stupid stuff.
