I had a smile for sure. $550 in my pocket made the drive that much more enjoyable.
The ECU came still attached on the engine... so they should be matching years. Hope it all works out for you.

To be completely honest, I have no idea. I was intending on using it in a turbo race car, so I never actually looked into any emissions stuff. I'm sure the other guys can tell you more about the engine than you'd ever imagine.
I don't recall 100%. It was below 100k for sure... I think it was like 80k if memory serves. Like I said, I have pulled it apart and everything is in great condition. The engine had been sitting in a yard for a few years, so the engine was probably only in service for a few years. This engine...
Hey guys,
I have a complete 1996 1UZFE engine for sale. I'm am asking $550. I bought it about a year ago and it has just sat since then. I have come to the conclusion that I just won't have the time/money to do what I want with it anytime soon. I am 100% willing to deliver the engine in the...
The real question is why do you feel the need to run 20-50 in a street car engine? That is probably a significant factor in your smoking issue. You'ld be extremely hard pressed to get the oil to come up to temp (and down to the correct pressure) with 20-50 in regular street driving. Sure, use it...
Cribbj,
Yeah, compression tests are good for what you described. Most professional engine builders I know don't really do leakdown tests because they aren't always consistent and aren't really repeatable. You could try forever to get an engine to give you even, good leakdown results... and it...
Excuse my ignorance of the Precision 'modified' lineup... is that the regular GT40 with ONLY a different A/R turbine housing (or do they change the shaft wheel too)?

Blowby and "leakdown tests" are completely different. No engine will EVER have zero blowby, I don't care how new it is. Blowby measures the volumetric flowrate past the rings into the crankcase. Sure this is similar to a leakdown test, but I generally don't care how well my cylinders are sealed...
Check your blowby. It's not uncommon for a non-turbo set of pistons and rings to have blowby issues. What are your end gap and ring types? What kind of cylinder prep was done? Which turbo are you running?

Do the math and you'll see what I'm talking about. The mass flow and pressure ratio required to make 1000hp with a 4L 1UZFE on gasoline are what they are.

I'm not sure where you're getting the 700hp number from... to...
