Ya not wrong.... Will give me an excuse to put some rods and pistons into it now, change to e85, retune and get a glide behind it with a trans brake. Any one have a set of the argo rods and ross pistons they want to part with???
Hi Guys,
Just thought i would share a pic of what happenswhen you put 16.5 psi into a 1uz with small rods. It makes a hole in the side of the block and puts oil on the drag strip. not ideal. I did run a pb of over 121 mph though.
Hi Paulie,
It sure is impressive.
Im looking at fitting a powerglide. I have a second hand dellows bell housing. Is the standard 1uz flex plate used. Is the convertor a modified chev v8 glide type convertor or is it a custom job to get it to all line up. Cheers kris.
Ya must be itching to get it back..........

Yeah, still got it, just draging it every now and then, going to calder on the 17th next month.
Have you had your car dynoed yet?? Interesting to see how it will go.
Im still a little while off yet but making a dedicated drag machine. Looking at using a 1uz with glide and trans brake. chasing up a 6 cyl glide now. Still havent 100% decided on a 1uz though. looking into a 2jz. might go down the 1uz route nat aspirated, on methanol and about a 200 shot of...
The latter model ones are still no dud. I have an unopened 96 model motor with turbo pushing 400 wheel hp and no problems. Ran a best of 11.91 @ 117 mph in a 1450kg ute. Fairly safe tune though.. cheers kris
