Neat stuff !!!

Was it difficult to get the rest of the drivetrain to couple up to a Toyota powerplant ??

@byrideroffshore.... Thanks for the support!!

@catastrophe.... It wasnt to difficult, just some fabrication ofcourse. Had to fabricate a custom adapter plate and then adapt a custom flywheel to accept a Imco coupler and then figuring flywheel weights took a little time as well....which I dont think Im done fooling with still...

Thanks,

What weight difference is there to equal power ?

I'm just guessing here....but do I presume this would only work best in a cat with the lack of torque ??

I think I mentioned this on another thread, but one of the awesome characteristics behind most turbo'd motors and the 2JZ specifically, is how it makes tq's which allows the drive to live a bit longer behind it. A single big snail makes torque higher in the rpm band, saving the drive on starts. Brendan I'm with you. I kind of thought basically most car guys knew what it was. Props for not announcing it much. And the welds on that water housing for the turbo look real nice, so does the street whip.

Really well done and a lot of inginuity has gone into this. Thank you for sharing the build.

This seems like the perfect engine for replacing an outbourd setup. Imagine the power to weight !!!!!!!!!!! BTW what does that weigh????????? Can you shoot some pics of the intake side, etc.

As an engineer and fabricator in automative for 30+ years this is about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Keep up the Great work Brendan and best of luck if you decide to market this package, I do think there would be a market for it :):)

@catastrophe.... The biggest issue was the lack of torque and power at low rpm, basically 3000 and below....with that is where I had to overcome most of the challenges. The biggest help is where i designed my own aerator for my Imco SC drive, then after that was correct turbo size, coupled with turbine housing, cam profile and flywheel weight....now that most of it is sorted out, my next step is to change around flywheel weight, not to sacrifice midrange driveability....BTW if anyone is interested in a Aerator for the Bravo or Imco drive PM mee...

@machloosy....I couldnt agree with you more on turbo's and drive durability...with turbos theres never that instant hit with engine, no matter what boost comes in progressively, which loads the drive as the power comes in...My good friend Brian from Offshore Outdrives cant believe the drive has lived as long as it has....He swears, compared to a big block with the same power it would of been down for repair way sooner then my set up. I do plan on tearing it down in the next few months and see if we have any surprises in there anyways...Thanks for the compliment on the turbine housing and car?? :drink:

Great build and great video!

I am getting weights for that engine on a pallet at 400 Pounds.

Oh and BTW the Vid is way better than the build :):)

:eekdrop::evilb:

@Jolley...Thanks for the comments...Im not sure on the actual weight, but im guessing in the area of about 500pds of weight savings over a big blowered/intercooled big block...I'll post up some pice of the intake side a Little later also...and most definitely plan on marketing it...want to be sure it can be put into anyones hands and it will live like it has for mee...Glad you enjoyed the Vid...Gotta keep the OSO members entertained!!

@007Joe....Thank You..

@Steve1....I have 4 spare engines in the shop, im gonna gather them up with turbo and accessories and try and get a weight together
