Based on the engine layout (at a left-hand tilt) I think it will clear....however, this is the "tiral and error" part of prototyping. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will clear.
What LSD did you go with?
I miss my Z :-(. I got it pretty cheap and sold it a year later for shockingly more lol. In the end, I didn’t want to tear it apart because it was a clean example. A Z enthusiast ended up buying it, so hopefully to a good home and not some haggard future....but I miss...
I like that, "3000 TWIN SCROLL TURBO." I might have to steal that from you if that ok? Lol.
My goal with the valve cover is to try and eliminate or at the very least relocate the "noodles" of lines and hoses on top of the valve cover. The end result may require the end-user to install longer...
I too was worried about the plastic cover initially, it's the reason I am working on a CNC aluminum valve cover for the MKV Supra in Solid Works. I know the plastic covers can take alot of heat, but not sure it's limits. I was able to find a 3D scanned image of the valve cover, however, I...
This is the coolest thing I’ve read about cars in a while. Imagine one day being able to 3D print ANY CAR you want....body panels, etc... really cool stuff!

Wow, didn’t know this was actually in production lol. Drive by wire brakes???....honestly had no idea. I still like the C8 because it is a V8 and still looks and has the presence of a Vette. Sucks that all this digital gadgetry is taking over the things that use to make sports cars enjoyable.
Only time will tell. Personally, I will walk to work before I buy and drive an electric car. There is something about the sound, feel, and even smell of a combustion engine powered vehicle that all add up to a great driving pleasure. Things that an electric car will never be able to...
I am curious about the “cracked” or fractured rods he mentions. In terms of rebuilding, there’s not alot you can do with fractured rods. You can’t cut the caps because of the unique break on each one...they are all different. As I understand it, you cannot hone the bore because there are...
That sturdy girdle bolted directly on the main caps and the block (total of 5 bolts per main cap technically securing each one of them in place) might put some of your "daily-driven" 1000hp MKV Supra fears at ease....no?
This will be a fun test...:headbang:
If this is true, then God help us all. These MKV’s will be demons on the street and track! Very happy with the recent results, glad the aftermarket is diving in head first.
