Hi, Yes, a bit of research after posting revealed the CA's different bellhousing bolt pattern. Point taken re: the Z33 box being much stronger that the CA / SR gearbox. I just happen to have a couple of CA / SR gearboxes lying around looking for something to be used in. Wouldn't be the end of...

Would that adapter plate work with a 1UZ to S13 CA18DET gearbox? If so, I'd be up for a copy of the file (presuming it's accurately done of course! :)).

D'Oh!! Thanks!

Hi, I'm in Aberdeen (Scotland) . If you've not posted this rear sump to Oz already, I need a rear sump set up.

Hi, I've got an '91 LS400's 1UZ-FE in my garage, along with a fish bracket (vintage ~2007), and a Vortech V1. In order to persuade them together, I need to find out the following info: * Bolts to hold the s/c to the fish bracket * spec of spacers to space the s/c from the fish bracket * length...

Hi, I don't suppose anyone has a good, early 1UZ-FE (LS400, front sump) for sale, either in the UK (pref North East Scotland), or which can be shipped here for much cheapness? Thanks, Ewen

Thanks Hypronet! Individual coilpacks on each plug. I'd been thinking about that setup. Great stuff. :)

Hi, I'm looking at coils / ignitors / coilpacks just now. Sorry for the dumb question, but what do you mean by cops? Cheers, Ewen

If Justen doesn't fancy these, I'm interested. They'd need shipped from Earth to Scotland, but that shouldn't be too bad. Cheers

You have pm

D'Oh! PC meltdown. Photos will need to be done tomorrow!

Thanks. Yeah, I'd thought a good fuel pump would be needed. I should be able to work out the required pump size / flow rate from the good stuff on here. Recommendations greatfully recieved though! Any views on fuel system pressure? Photos - Still at an in-many-pieces stage but I'll post some...

Hi, Thanks for all your input guys - much appreciated! The goal is indeed about 450 - 500 reliable flywheel hp. I'd thought of running about 9 - 10psi boost (through a Vortech V1 supercharger). If that can be done on stock CR without it going bang then great. Actually, does that sound like a...

Hi, I've done some searching but haven't found anything so far, hence this thread. Does anyone know if there are 'factory' FI / stock-in-a-different-engine pistons that can be used in an FI 1UZFE (ideally with stock 1UZFE rods)? I'd have liked something like about an 8.5 CR, only on budget...

Thanks Red Phoenix, Good to hear people are using this kind of set up. The SMT6 looks interesting. I hadn't thought of a piggyback unit. Is $200 - $300 the regular price? I see there's an SMT8 / SMT8L which is to replace it. Out of interest, do you have any rough output figures for your...
