Doesn't look like it has been looked after too well. The main concern would be checking compression, but that's hard to do properly on an uninstalled engine like that.

Ryco Z125 is your friend ;)

Very true, power would be incredible. But I doub't you'll make the same topic as this about an LS engine after a few years of abuse ;)

Your whole post jibby is pretty much why we all chose the 1UZ to begin with, and not pushrod chevs lol. (power aside....) Mine has even been upside down before and still going strong years later, running boost and LPG fuel ;)

From what I hear elsewhere carbied 1UZ's are popular over in NZ, in their stock cars and boats etc (big power and big revs) Though I don't think there's much reference to it on here. The electrics of the 1UZ seems quiet intricate thanks to the donor car and all it's gadgets (massive harness.)...

17 is quiet high, how heavy is it? Mine stock used to get around 13 on the highway at 2.2t and 33x12.5" muds. Currently I think I'm getting around 18/100 on LPG and boost :)

Just venting to atmo? That's how mine is for the interim.

Yeah it is the factory silencer to reduce the intake noise a bit.

It really comes to driving style like you suggested. The main FI theory is more power = less throttle. But when you have a TT V8 you'll use lots heheh... Boost = air. To compensate it needs more fuel. So more boost and more throttle equals more fuel. Cruising though, if it makes the power...

Yeah I was planning, for now, on running one valved back to the intake manifold. And the other plumbed pre supercharger on the intake. Is there one side that will benefit more from a catch can? Bit low on funds atm and was only going to buy one oil/air seperator etc

Cool plates, they have significance? Edit* Second look and they look photo chopped, for security I assume.

Do you mean the silencer? It's a black section connected to the underside of the intake. There's a test somewhere that shows by removing the intake silencer and replacing it with a piece of piping, you actually lose power on stock engines! so if you don't need it gone, leave it. It didn't fit...

Sounds good thanks, need to do a Pick n Payless run soon anyways. What about the stock PCV in the cam cover, okay to leave and run as well?

Is there any reason why you can't run 2 pcv's in one line? I'm going to set up my pcv system properly after neglectling it and blowing both rear and front mains. Though I am using the factory pcv system on the left side of the engine with a new pcv it's obviously not sealing. As opposed to...

So you dont get that weird miss at those revs now? I hardly notice it at all on petrol but lpg is bad at anything other than full throttle. I think it's because the LPG ECU piggy backs the petrol injectors, so it amplifies whatever goes wrong.

Yeah I sorted my LPG problems and it's running surprisingly good at the moment. Boost loves 108octane LPG! The only problem is the LPG injection seems to emphasize that MAF problem where it changes from vacuum to boost. Are you still running the MAF spf? I put a filter on the end of my bypass...

And then start selling them :bigok:

Hey mate, still running just the stock ECU and MaftPro?

Didn't you go from 3" to 3.5" earlier? How'd the power difference go there? I've found the smaller the sc feed pipe, the lower the boost made.

Found something very cool and interesting, looks like Britek Motorsport in Aus has gone belly up, so everything is on eBay! One of the coolest eBay shops I've flicked through http://stores.ebay.com.au/britekmotorsport_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZQ2d33QQftidZ2QQtZkm Parts like Alcon 6 piston V8...
