I get the impression that the owner was not happy with his power output, as he had Vince Macri (NC touring car racer) do some more development on the JZED engine. This orange LJ used the JZED and 45mm Dellorto's. If you can get your hands on Street Machine Oct 2017, p. It puts out approx 350 hp and that cost me well over 25k plus ( l gave up counting ) l already had the 48 webers. L bought 202 engine bits over various trips l did to Australia over a number of years, including a 2nd hand Duggan head, new tighe roller cam and roller lifters and other bits n pieces, plus dry sump setup here in NZ and had some else build it for me as well. L quite agree that 370 hp from 202 is very good value indeed for approx 16 k and that's the reason l asked the question. But its not just going fast that is the attraction, its getting something to go fast that really isn't designed to be fast. I know quite a few blokes who have spent near 10k on their 202 for a 250hp setup, which in some way puts things in perspective I guess.īut at the end of the day, the way I see it is if my only prerogative was to go fast, I would buy an old rexy or s14 and pump up the boost on E85 for easy 12s. All in all, I think 15k for a 370 plus hp 202 engine is actually not that expensive, as long as the motor stays together. Also, the various extra costs and engineering costs for the conversion adds up as well- so I reckon a 308 conversion with a good 400hp engine would cost around 15k by the time you get all the gear and get it engineered. It would obviously cost a fair bit less to crack 400hp in a 308 but it will still take some money. In regards to cost, whether its a 308 or a 202 its gonna take money to get it moving well. It would take a fair bit of refinement to crack 10s but at 400hp its within possibilities with a very good setup and light car etc. I think any JZED/ Duggan headed 202 that has a reasonable cam/ carb/ exhaust package should be good for low 12s /high 11s in a small torry. Tried to attach a pic of the dyno sheet but the uploader isn't working and photobucket can get plucked.Įdited by LC-GTR-1969, 19 December 2017 - 07:21 AM. This was through 48mm webers from memory. I inquired about this and it was admittedly run on MS109 oxygenated race fuel but from memory the same rig made about 390hp on pump 98. He cracked 420 odd hp from memory at the fly, and at a relatively low rpm, like 6200rpm. I was extremely impressed with the ZJED engine build from about 12 months ago. Although I guess when money is in your hand some might agree to the delay in build at first but then crack it after 6 months and they have nothing for their dough- I imagine it would be frustrating but if you've been told it will take a long time at least they've been honest.īut from what I have read, he is a very knowledgable engine builder. So he was honest with me up front that it would take a long time for the turnaround. In Brians defence, a few years ago I contacted him about putting together a short block for me and the first thing he said was it would take 6 months or more as he is snowed under with work. A few blokes have said that they've had to take hium to court to get there money back cause they got sick of waiting. A fair number of people complain that he takes a really long time to get the product out to them and I think some have complained over small things, like the quality of the paint used on the block etc. I also read about an FJ with the JZed and that put out 350 HP, but with the 45mm Webers that was a while ago I wonder if it has 50 mm or even bigger Webers on it now.īrian from Moe engines has a hit and miss reputation. It seems that if you do get a JZed you will need big carbies or throttle bodies to supply those dirty big direct downdrafted ports. Joe Zullo also has a Face book page to have a look at. As far as I know Joe Zullo has bought the patens for Frank Duggan's head and made some changes.I think the ports are a squarer design and the valves might be a little closer to the center and there are likely some other little changes. Sammut Bros last century used a Duggan, NA in an LJ and run 10s. It was featured twice and in the early article it had the Jzed and 45 mm Webers, I thought that the 45s were too small I don't think any power figures were mentioned, however, in the latest article it has the V8, but it states that after taking it to a gun Holden 6 tuner they changed the 45s to 50 mm webers, bigger headers and some other changes that I can't remember and cracked out over 400 HP, surely that would run a 10. From memory an Orange LJ, Street Machine Mag, has now a V8. NZXU1, I'll dig out of my magazine pile some more info. It had a 9 port head, SUs, likely 2 inch and shock horror a manual, but I think it was a Liberty Top Loader. If so it is included in another thread, fastest Holden 6, something like that.
