lol...! Yea, not everyone's flavour huh ?

The RB John.

Hello John, it has been quite some time and a lot of water has passed under the bridge. I ended up running a hot little Nissan RB26 in her for a while untill that dropped a valve. Was an awesome little screamer running 500 odd Hp. I have now built a stroker RB based engine from Spool imports in...

I on the other hand disagree somewhat here. The Lexus bores are usually in great shape. I would measure accurately and then decide where to go next. If ovality, taper and overall size are all good , I`d Flex-hone it. Agree on the lube comment , lots of lube required. Be careful of "double "...

My final update. Just sold my Lexus 1UZ-FE with my heart and soul poured into her for less than half of what it cost to build.. Did not run, did not start, only saw assembly oil. So long old friend, its been 3 years ..

You need a firm congratulatory handshake my friend !! I remember the days when I had the steam to tackle a job such as this. Run out of that steam looong ago ! Well done ..!

Don`t forget Argo rods from Ozz. I have abused mine no end and they are still just doing their job quietly..

+1 . CP in my motors, RB25,RB26 and 1uz-fe.

Personally I would go slightly larger so it would be possible to "clean up" the bore for the new pistons and rings..but yea, order std and they will send you std.

I looked at the link and know this company, not very honest in their dealings. Always have to wait for your parts and a million excuses as to why nothing had been done yet. I went there myself to go see why my custom flywheel was not complete after 3 months AND pre paid for. I was met by this...

So from "Im thinking of doing this" to "Here`s my car starting up" in 2 pages ? Well done bud ! Some pics of the conversion here ?? The sump thing ? You have probably done right with a large sump and BIG capacity. I always prefer that over stock..

" I am planing on belt driving it off a second pulley on the water pump." Is that wise ? It will be "Gilmer`ed" to the water pump pulley but from there its serpentine down to the crank. An oil pump takes BIG power to turn when demand is needed. I`m not sure thats a wise move here. Pump looks...

I have found that just as a standard fpr sets the base line for fuel pressure to start working from, the rrfpr does the same. Both will determine the base fuel pressure . One will require a "fatter" fuel map while the other will probably require a slightly "leaner" map.The ecu does not care...

Having driven the 86 albeit for a short period of time I feel it is really a good chassis screaming out for lot`s of power and better braking. Yea, go for it, this will be a very interesting topic indeed. ZR8tt, I built that forged motor with the To4Z you recommended btw... Never installed it...

Jirre, ek hat geen benul wat julle se nie !! Welcome Mr Russia...! Volga looks an old Lancia from 1950`s..

Zen, i.m.o. , unless you are running ViPEC or similar with active closed loop control, sequential is a waste and non beneficial. Anybody with a laptop doing his programming thing is lost to sequential. I d keep it simple but not downright nasty. Something with excellent injector control . Most...
