1UZFE Powered Airplane

The 1UZFE EGR Delete Kit is available for sale here.
Oil starvation will only become a problem if he does airobatics or tries to fly inverted.

Note the engine doesn't run a MAF looks aftermarket management.
 
That is a PSRU, a Propellor Speed Reduction Unit. They are necessary when fitting an automotive engine to an aircraft with the RPMs auto engines run. Props become inefficient after about 2500-2700 RPM (depending on the prop).

Did they say what type of aircraft? Looks like a Lancair.

Nice project. What aftermarket ecu are you running?

A dry sump setup could easy solve the acrobatic issue if needed I guess.
 
This is awesome!

Can you give us some more info or do you have a website of your build?

Where are you located?
What sort of range will it have?
What fuel will it be running?

I've had a look into a few build-it-yourself planes, but none have been very suitable to the 1UZ. This one looks tops.

We all love pics at lextreme, please post whatever you can.
 
Looks like a Lancair ESP? Close?

I'd read that Toyota really thought about selling the 1UZ to general aviation. I'm glad to see someone took them up on it!

Rotaries and Subarus are really common on kitplanes like Vans RV, but this one tops it all!

Can't wait to check out your other plane.
 
Hi thanks for the interest and yes i will be posting some more pictures this week!!because i am doing my first test flight with the 1uz engine and cant wait to see what she can do!!I am still busy with a web site and soon that will be running!!This plane was my own design and it took me 12years to get her where she is and now i have five bodys that are ready for sale and flight!I am located in south africa and the range of the plane is 5hours flyng time and a speed on around 150knots to 200knots,i will only know that when she is flying with the 1uz!!i will be using normal fuel unleaded!!it is half the price of avgas and the engine is more than happy with that!!thanks for all your questions and interest,and hope to chat with you guys again!!
