RE: Any gear heads in here?
anyone done any robotics with motion capure?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

And I'm a qualified heavy diesel mechanic.

So yes, you could say I'm a bit of a gearhead.

I also do maintenance on my friends' bikes, a CBR 600, a custom bobber, and a Yamaha R6.

The Ford V8s, are they the ones with Garrett turbos, or Holset turbos?

Neither in fact.

One is a "92 LTD with a 302 Windsor and the other is a "02 BA Falcon ute with a 5.4l

OHC 3valve V8.

Whoa, I must have had a brain fart, I though you were talking about Ford V8 turbodiesels for some weird reason.

I wish we had utes here in the states. I always wanted a pickup truck as low as a car and with an LS1 or something in it. I also think the 4.0L Falcon Turbo engine is awesome, but I've never actually seen it in action or heard reviews. I just know it has a GT40 turbo attached to it from the factory.

The ute is pretty much the aussie sports car now.

Especially when you look at cars like the Maloo's or XR8's which are barely capable of carrying a scooter.

Here's a pic of the day I picked up by Lexus SC300: 207k miles and it looks like it's never had an oil change:

Who needs a silly NA engine? It was in the car for maybe 2 days before I scrapped it.

This is the new engine, the 1jz-gte, in its current state. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic quality.

Here's a vid of the car on a dyno:

273whp (Mustang dyno, they read low)

And some more taken a year ago:

313whp, 320ft-lbs of torque on a Dynapack dyno.

On a Honda, that's a lean O2 mixture. I would look for cracks at the exhaust manifold (you can patch those up) and replacing the primary O2. Shouldnt be more than 40 bucks.
