Hi,

Was chatting with a friend of mine recently and convo ended up with the following:

The idea is to run non vvti heads on a 3uz block. We have no intention of getting VVTI to work hence the non vvti heads.

The reason for the 3uz block is that only will we get a displacement increase (I do realize by not much) but from my searching I believe that the 3uz crank is lighter and the pistons are better designed and are also lighter.

Other modifications will be
*headers
*ARP Rodbolts
*performance exhaust
*Stand Alone ECU
*4AGE Throttle Bodies
*2jz valve springs
*Performance Cams that will hopefully make power up until 8000rpm

In this type of application would you also go with the skinny rods or thick rods ?

Thanks
 
I'd go thick rods.

There's a thread somewhere in here on a 1UZ revving to 10,000rpm.
If you don't need forced induction, you will see a slight horsepower increase from a lighter rotating assembly (skinnier)however it is not uncommon to find broken rods on NA 2uzfe which use the same light pistons .Ergo the heavier rods would be better just for piece of mind and longevity
