The car is/was called a Toyota-7 and was Toyota's prototype race car in the late sixies. Thing was, when they beef'd things up in their attempt to remain competative against the Nissan's, they added two fat turbos to their already 600HP V8 5ltr quad cam, bringing them up to 800HP ready for the Japanese Grandprix. Ironically though, the Japanese Motor Federation changed the rulings in 1970 (the year the Turbo Toyota-7 was to debut) so only open wheeled cars were allowed to enter. The car never competed so we'll never know if we got to kick Nissan's ass, but that's history. Have a read about it on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_7 |

QUOTE (smithter @ Jul 15 2010, 03:08 PM) I'm a fucking nub when it comes to engines but... The tornado one looks like a clusterfuck of tangles tubes (guess thats why its called tornado?) they are like that due to a predetermined runner length...if they were to be similiar look to the N2 spec but the required length they would be out the bonnet by quite a distance... longer/shorter runners allow you to "tune" the exhaust gases...dictating when/where power will be enhanced...faster turbo spool...etc etc... particular long headers in the case of those are designed to bring power/torque on earlier...while the shorter n2 spec ones higher in the rev range... being that my motor is a 1800cc 4a, rather than the 1600cc it shouldn't need torque/power down low due to the increased capacity...however up higher, it might fall away...hence the reasoning to go shorter runners     this is a picture of a Turbonetics GT450K turbo on a 1600cc motor...motor belongs in an ae86 that competes in the formula drift series in the US...taka aono the owner of the car is quite true to the original heritage of the car and doesnt believe in sr20's, 3sgte's etc...so keeping 4age was the only option....jsp fabrication made this manifold to help spool the quite large turbo and try and keep the motor responsive for competition... partly another reason for the extreme manifold is that the car is also left hand drive...so needed clearance around the steering rack...however seen some quite less extreme manifold that achieved more than enough clearance... oh and hasslegreen build motors for the formula atlantic race series...absolutely spastic 1600cc 4ages...25k USD worth of motor...so they know a thing or two about ye ole junker |
