Yeah its about 4-5 mins. You have to take the intake manifold off which is 12 bolts on the top of the motor.

yeah thatthing is a bit of a death trap! I will be happy enough with 300KPH in any amount of seconds We have an event called the Chertsy run which is a public road closed for a flying quarter mile and you get a one km run up I plan on doing that next year once the T88 is in

Above is the motor on the engine dyno... I dont plan on going that outrageous! I think 500-600WHP on around 16psi will be heaps

The engine on the dyno is not a Toyota engine and is used in a red Ultima. Not the silver one in the first video.

Oh ok, I cant really see the motor in the clip, just going off the title, so many mods to it and the video isnt very clear. Impressive nevertheless.

"mule" is the term used in automotive R & D for a car of the current style with experimental running gear . so the engineers drive them around among us unnoticed.

Nice car and nice color. I am not familiar with Toyota engine internals. Where does the cat go? Between the pressure plate and the trans face?
