Hello High Performance Academy, I'm an amateur driver and I recently bought the Cusco Type RS 1.5way LSD for my 86. I'm wondering if you decided to keep the stock settings or did you reduce the number of preload springs and/or the number of activated friction plates? Thank you, the videos are amazing!
Yes we have deactivated a plate on each side. We find these diffs to be a little too aggressive as setup out of the box which tends to cause mid corner push and corner exit oversteer.
@@hpa101 Thank you so much, I will take that into consideration when I first setup my diff. I will make sure to buy your merch, you give so much to the community!

How would running vvt not help , even just to help widen the power band by 500 rpm or to pick up some tq at lower rpm as , you could limit the deg if it works on the old 20v system , so as to have no V to P contact , Any chance of a dyno graph and one with foot pounds please 😄, Am I right that all the development of these engines are with in race rules , valve lift and compression
The engine typically operates between about 7000 and 8700 rpm and VVT really would offer limited advantage. The other issue is that given the lift and duration of the new cams, there's very little room for them to be advanced/retarded. The juice simply isn't worth the squeeze.

Hey there Hugo, we're not partying anything out sorry mate, but Hartley Racing Engines in New Zealand or a shop locally to you could whip something up I'm sure. I think Hartley source their cams from Franklin Cams, also in New Zealand - Taz.
WedsSport TC105N . Things are different now, but here is a rundown from a while back, more details in description parts wise than the vid: th-cam.com/video/Zih4ZrAAAlM/w-d-xo.html
Again a grate video, and such a nice build. But I'm thinking that ,getting that deep in racing, isn't to demanding? I would love to pilot this car for a season !!! ♡
We didn't build a good chunk of the car so it's hard to be specific. Over $100k would be conservative though, particularly when the original owner went through multiple engine configurations before settling on the V8.
Sorry, I don't get the downshift entirely. Does the ECU time the blip to happen after the dog disengage, before re-engage? Or do you rely on the assumption that downshifts will only be done under closed, or nearly closed, throttle condition?
Same time. Technically the blip probably starts happening first, unloading the gears and allowing them to disengage, and the rest of the blip it's engaging the next gear.
@@derwhalfisch no prob. 👍 Don't take that as gospel though. I've only worked with stuff for bikes, like Bazzaz. I'm not guaranteeing the system these gentlemen are running is identical.
The timing of each component of the shift can be very accurately timed through the MoTeC ECU. In most cases you actually want to begin the blip before the dogs disengage because when you're off the throttle the dogs will be locked on the overrun faces and the blip aids disengagement. With a manually actuated sequential we have less control because the shift barrel is moved by the driver. In a paddle shift system we can time the barrel movement independently of the blip/cut etc.
We planned to do a 3uz based build to replace the 1uz here, but COVID happened right when we needed work done so we just used another old engine we already had here instead - Taz.
haha yeah that last 100rpm was the killer you reckon? Should get a few more revs from the 'rebuilt' version but it also will be a bit more modified than this 1UZ-FE build was to be fair. Should have some updates out on that one in a few weeks at most - Taz.
FUEL QUESTION HERE! IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT THE FUEL SURGE TANK PLAYS THE SAME, IF NOT SIMILAR AS A CAPACITOR IN SAY A STEREO SYSTEM I.E. SUBWOOFER AND MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIR!?!?@ Cheers and Thanks in advance!!
In a way, yes. It just ensures you have a constant, uninterrupted supply at the correct pressure no matter where g-forces are trying to instead push things - Taz.
We like the V8, something a bit different for us platform wise too with the UZ based build as we already have a 1000HP 2jz build in the course material. If you search for a dude called 'Chris Henderson' though he is building an EPIC LS7 powered GT86 for the same series, and also another chap going full hog with a 2jz GT86 build as well but I'm not 100% sure on his name - Taz.
I have always been curious what would be the result if you asked one of these race engine builders to ignore the rules and just build the best 1uz they could.
I wasn't sure if I should mention them or not, but their 800HP shafts and EVO ones Andre has used in the past have been fine, just the 1000HP axles and the current team let us down. I'm optimistic Frank can turn the ship around with a heavy hand - Taz.
@@hpa101 Very fair of you. It would be reasonable to expect a completely trouble free season next from their '1000hp' shafts for their reputation to become untarnished. If there are continuing problems as before, the product would have to be classed as unfit.
