    1uz-fe Engine BORE MAX?

    Damn, Ahh well I guess I have to keep my eyes open for the next person to open up their own engine. I have searched all over the place, I can get decent shots of the forged turbo pistons, but no decent shots of the std pistons anywhere. Mike

    adjustable cam gears

    When you skim the heads, you need to bring the timing back to the correct figures, that is when same direction timing is good to go.

    Every engine responds a little bit differently to tuning, but 11.5:1 with custom pistons and a careful tune is normally doable, 12:1 needs a lot of attention to detail on the tuning and will knock on stale tanks of fuel, but has been made to work, some of the honda guys are at 12.5:1 and pump...

    Oil pressure when dealing with high revs

    That has always been true, but the compromise is to keep the bearing temps under control, you also need to consider crank stiffness, as in flex of the crankpin. Mike

    Oil pressure when dealing with high revs

    crank scraper about 2-6 hp, dry sump 5-10 hp, thinner oil about 5hp if your lucky, its also a question of right sizing the oil pump to suit the clearances you want to run. I call bs on freeing up 50 hp in an NA car. On another forum the sub-title of the ALL-motor section is: "For the deep...

    Building the ultimate N/A UZFE

    If you raise the compression by skimming the head and using a thinner head gasket you will alter the cam timing and you will need cam gears. Mike
