    Newb with a couple of questions

    If you are talking about the two large threaded holes, one per rail. One is for the fuel feed line/fuel pressure reg and the other is for the fuel pulse dampener.

    1uz (1st gen) intake adapter

    I built mine useing the bottom half of the stock lower manifold and it has worked very nicely. My manifold plus the whipple 1600A supercharger is the same hight as the stock manifold. I still have the fixture I made for the build and could make another one if you were intersted. I also have a...

    1uz (1st gen) intake adapter

    The 4.7 TRD tundra supercharger is only a eaton M90 in a custom housing if I remember correctly. The M90 is on the small side for supercharging on a 1uz and being a roots blower it heats up the incoming air quite a bit. You can probably only get like 5 to 7 psi out of it safely. If you keep a...

    Standalone ECU Why aftermarket ECU?

    The OEM ecu is fine for a basic swap, stock 1uz with auto or manual transmision. How ever if you plan to go with forced induction, or cams, Itb's or other moderate to extream changes the factory ecu just can't handle them. There is also no way to rechip or flash the stock ecu as far as I know...

    modding a turbo molelecular pump for forced induction use ???

    I have always loved turbine engines and axial turbine superchargers. I have recently found a pair of turbo molecular pumps for sale at a price that's almost free. I started to wonder if I unbolted the turbine stage section from the electric motor drive unit could the turbine part be made to...

    Any one know anything about the first Whipple superchargers built by Sprintex

    What's the displacement of the opcon? I am looking for a twinscrew in the 2.0L to 3.0L range or a Lysholm built whipple 1600ax as that would be a cheep bolt on replacement for mine that died.

    Any one know anything about the first Whipple superchargers built by Sprintex

    I did finaly find a site that listed sprintex models and there displacements and the sprintex blower that I found for sale was only a 1.1 L. The sprintex blowers are diffrent from the opcon autorotor units. Whipple used sprintex blowers for a year and a half before switching to the opcon...

    Amplifier brand

    I would recommend Adcom, Soundstream (pre 2000 buyout), Nakamichi, TRU, Arc, A/D/S/, Audison, Brax, Mcintosh, Linear Power, Lunar, Butler Audio, 1990's PPI, ZED audio, 1990's japan built Alpine. I personally think that there are almost no good car audio company's left. All the amps and subs...

    Standalone ECU some advice pls on fitting ms..ie trigger wheel.

    I am running my early 1uz on MS2 useing a stock style 12 tooth wheel with 1 tooth ground off. I spent 1 1/2 years tring to get the stock VR sensor to work and finely threw that crap in the trash and spent $40 on a hall effect sensor. That is probbly the biggest improvement I ever made to the...

    1GZ-FE bellhouse pattern

    Do you have a 1gz bellhousing? I have one that I was planning on mesuring up by hand before I mount up my R154 so that I have the pattern for future use without having to pull the engine. It would just be a hand drawn pattern with the x,y positions of the holes with the input shaft as zero. I...

    gearbox adaptor plates.

    The 1GZ bellhousing is .100" longer then the 1UZ but that is probably due to the differences in the blocks. After some test fitting and taking some measurements it looks like I could make the adapter any where between 1.150" to 1.250" thick.

    Dry sumping the 1GZ

    I under stand what you guys are getting at and I agree that a drive off the crank would be better. I will explain the two options I came up with and see what you think would be better. After reading up on dry sump systems on line I figured that I would start off running the pump at 60% crank...

    Smaller starter

    See if you can find a local shop that can rebuild the honda one and give it a bit more kick. I had my 1UZ alternator rebuilt for $200 by a local shop so that it puts out around 90 amps at idle peeks at 185 amps by the time it gets to 2000 rpm. He rebuilt a stock 1960's starter for a friend of...

    Smaller starter

    How about a reverse mount bellhousing starter setup? There would need to be some fab work but it would also be a good excuse to switch to a 7.25" twin plate tilton rally clutch. Link to ebay item with some ok pics -...

    Dry sumping the 1GZ

    I got around to test fitting the dry sump pump on the 1GZ over the weekend. Its a 3 stage Razor pump and I mounted it in the old AC compressor location. I am planing on belt driving it off a second pulley on the water pump.

    gearbox adaptor plates.

    I am looking for drawings or files for the adapter to go between the 1uz bell housing and the 7M-GTE R154 transmission. I think that the patterns for the 1UZ auto transmission and the 1GZ auto transmission are the same. The 2 bell houseings may be diffrent lengths but that's easy to check and...
