So far so good, it has thick oil in it. But when I fixed it up for re-rego I noticed the moisture seperator I had on the (Aus) passenger side PCV was pretty well clogged. I've since plugged that side straight back to the manifold. I then made up a DIY catch can for the throttle body side. What...

Probably been asked before, but who's doing the tuning down there?

Very nice Justen, love that sound!

Did you try looking around the forum? The 'How do I get more power' question has been asked about 7000 times ;)

I'll have to dig out a compression tester and see how bad it is I guess. I only really noticed originally as I had a filter on the TB side PCV valve. One day sitting at the lights I noticed smoke coming out of the bonnet on that side so I quickly pulled over thinking something was smoldering...

Yeah I pulled the blower off it today, that has been sold already, should have mentioned that. Currently modifying the LPG injector nozzles to suit NA (soldering up and re-drilling), I only have tuning access to fuel not timing though. I have bought some uber thick oil to try mask the blowby...

The 1UZ in my 4Runner started compressing the crank case pretty heavily after 2 years of supercharging on a DIY tune. I don't think there's major damage, probably just flooged rings. After 5 min of running it will start pumping oily vapours out the PCV's and dip stick tube if stick is...

Thanks guys, pretty much exactly what I thought, just needed to hear it from others.

Okay so i've never dismantled an engine other than doing the shims on the 1uz. I'm 99% sure my 1UZ has at least got some worn ring/s as it has started compressing the crankcase, a lot. Tyring to work out if it's worth trying to repair, or replace. Engines have gone up here, best I can find is...

Still need one

Why don't they just say, it's a 3 tonne 4WD, don't corner fast.....

It's not a huge failure, it still runs quiet well actually, all bar the oil smell and smoke coming from the bonnet when your stopped. It's just letting a lot of combustion through at least one cylinder. Enough to pump oil and smoke out the crankcase vents and dipstick tube! Haven't bothered...

My 1uz really is a tribute to the durability of these engines. It has been through 2 different 4runners, overheated severely at least half a dozen times (like when I first converted the runner and only trusted the factory temp gauge, towed a loaded box trailer home for 9 hours with it running...

Yep, the time has come. My 1UZ has finally decided to give up the ghost. I had been thinking about moving up to something bigger and more comfortable (not to mention safe) than the old 4runner for a while, with our growing family. This is just a sign I think to take the step. I will sorely...

Thanks mate, going off the shipping quotes on just an M112 I think it will be a bit pricey!

I'm after a cheap running (well) 1UZ, prefferably front sump but will take anything. I'm in NSW, Sydney way [email protected]

At the moment I have a hose from the stock PVC valve side going to the valve, then to an air/oil seperator, then into the engine. If I crimp the hose while it's idling (on the engine side of the PCV valve) you can hear it start restricting the air being sucked into the manifold, so it's...

My 1UZ has recently started pumping oily smoke out the crankcase breather (one side has just a filter), even at idle. It still pulls decent vacuum at idle and goes hard, but i'm looking at a dead piston ring/s hey? After all the stuff my 1uz has been through I was expecting head gaskets...

I'm definitely going to look more into this once I make the swap to the M112 (once it arrives!) Is it a science setting them up? Or is it a DIY-able job like everything else I've done hehe
