    Direction of oil flow out of the pump?

    For some reason I have no idea on which way the oil flows out of the oil pump. Is it the top fitting or the bottom fitting that has the flow OUT?

    Lack of power, sluggish... even after a tune up.

    Okay so I have been batteling this issue for the last year... Basically the car feels alright when its cold, but when it warms up, it loses all its glory and feels like a 5sfe has been shoved under my hood. I have done the following. Plugs Wires Coils Caps Rotors Injectors Fuel...

    HG replacement is it even worth it...

    I have a 95 1uzfe getting the turbo treatment... My goal is to get a earlier 1uz and do a basic build on it later on, however for now, would replacing the HG (stock or even a 0.051 cometic) with stock bolts be worthwhile for added insurance? Or not at all...? 0.051 is stock? Would it better...

    Making One Serious Manifold Blanket...

    Much like all turbo setups, heat is a problem. With having all these runners all over the place and frame rails with nice paint on them that will take abuse... I am looking into a serious blanket for the manifolds. Not just some auto part store wrapping... Something like a turbo blanket, but...

    Anyone bolt on a LS400 oil filter mount onto an SC400?

    My Whiteline sway bar (Supra TT) on my SC400 fowls my oil filter and mount... Does the LS400 aluminum mount work on the chasis or is it going to hit something if I use that? Matt

    Project Thread MK3 Supra / 1uzfe / Single Turbo Build Thread

    I purchased this car last year for next to nothing. Came as an original turbo/auto shell with 90K on it. The body is in really good condition despite being 22 years old. This car originally was going to be a 1uzfe/W58 daily driver... But after putting it all together, it made sense to not...

    Manifold design... Log vs... log... ha

    NEEEDDD BOOOST. In all seriousness, I was going to construct a pretty easy straight forward design on my MK3 1uz Supra. Consisting of a single HX35, I am trying to figure out if my 2nd design of a log manifold setup would be a lot more beneficial than the first. Take a look...

    Twin HX35's using the twin scroll or not?

    As we all know, the engine bay is pretty tight in an SC400. I picked up 2 hx35's for a sick price. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/redphoenix/Lexus%20SC400/Turbo/IMG_1208.jpg I am starting to order my piping now and I was originally wanting to do the twin scroll idea, using cyl 1/3...

    What can we expect from a 2uzfe with 1uzfe rods/crank

    I have the opportunity to grab a 2uzfe (non vvti) for dirty cheap with 88k miles. Knowing their weakness of lower revs and weak rods, I planned on using a 1uzfe early rods and crankshaft. What can I expect from this engine? I want to run upwards of 12-13psi on twin Holset HX35's (should be...

    I am looking for pics of the few cars that are floating around on here with the turbo piping from 1 manifold running around the rear of the engine and back out to the other manifold, then to the turbo. Thanks

    Can I use a 95 1uzfe with a 92 harness?

    As far as I am concered the difference between the 1995 and 1992 1uzfe is the rods (whch wont be affected), the EGR, and the Cold Start Injection system. Say if I pick up this local 1995 Engine, I will get he benifit of the extra 10 or whatever HP due to the rods, but, if I delete the EGR...

    1uzfe Turbo 350whp - A feasibile Daily Driver? Or just a bad idea?

    I am working on my 1uz MK3 daily driver right now. I keep going back and forth between how I want to go with this... I want a reliable daily driver in the end. I figure if I do my own work, adding a turbo setup would not be a lot of extra money (doing it myself of course)... However, would...

    1uzfe - Are SC400 and LS400 engine harnesses interchangable?

    Im about to pick up a SC400 1uzfe complete with a cut wire harness for $100. My local (very cheap) junkyard always has a few LS400's but never an SC400. Can I take an LS400 complete engine wiring harness and an LS400 ECU and directly bolt it onto my SC400 with no issues? If I decide to...
