Hello Member's. I'm not one to get on here and post in the drag racing section as there is a shiit load of faster cars however I thought I would post up a little info of a Holden VR ute powered by a Toyota 1JZ. Owner Derek Johnson and the boyz @ EFI Performance have been working together over the pass 3 years on this very basic, yet very impressive 1JZ. Last night at willow bank Derek steered the UTE down the mile 9.2@148mph, his new PB from 9.5@143 on 26" tyre. SPEC'S. Holden VR UTE Toyota 1JZ, stock standard engine, cast pistons stock rods. HKS 272 cams with valve springs Standard inlet manifold with 100mm throttle body GCG GT45 turbo 50mm turbosmart gate 5" inch exhaust EFI Performance fuel system Wolf V500 ECU LS2 truck coils C16 fuel C4 auto with 5000 convertor/transbrake Mobi diff built diff, borg warner 4.11 28x9" tyre Power = 503rwkw on 38psi With still a bit left in her the boys believe there is a 8.9 in here with more power to come and a bit more set up at the track its all in good time. Will keep you posted as time goes on. Thanks for reading. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

well done on pb

when would this setup start to see boost? looks wicked tho

2.5l?????????? Ah me one-jay !!!~~~

Awesome work boys just keeps getting better and better, that turbo looks unreal...

500rwkw@38psi on a standard bottom end??? Geez Louise!

that's quick ! needs a tonneau to look more 'sleeper' imho

Nice work If it goes bang, is it 2j bottomend or stick with 1j?

Congrats guys, put a sway bar on it 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nah, We will stick with the 1J troy. They are a bit more rev happy and its more fun when its a bit more of a challenge. Thanks Kyle. Yeah the rear is defiantly an area we are looking at to help it off the line.

is it a stock bottom end hyped6? thats really impressive either way.

So when is fullboost?

Yeah its still a stock bottom end. Only changes are Cams, Valve springs and rod bolts. The head had been cleaned up, but I would hardly call it ported. We are seeing full boost around 5800 without gas. Its a really good setup actually and no where near as laggy as we originally thought it may be.

Nice work guys... repping the standard bottom ends haha !! Cheers for the rags n cable ties Rick, was a good night !

good work boys! any vids??

Long time since that turbo was a GCG LOL , we've seen 540rwkw from that thing on 38psi so there should be little bit more in it yet.

Thats moving How much power would a standard 2 j handle ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

A STD 2j u don't really want to run over 800rwhp It won't last very long over that power level A 1j would probably be very similar

What a weapon! I remember when this thing was running 10s, i thought it was quick then! When is fullboost?

a few posts up it says 5800rpm
