Rod I put another w/pump and t/belt on the motor and did a compression test on it and they ranged from 200lbs down to 60lbs , it had 3 clys with less than 100lbs of compression. Did not pull the heads off, but have seen another 1UZ with bent valves, and it had the same things wrong with it that...

Great to see you are nearing the end of this project Ryan. :friday: :friday: :friday:

skirts and rear lip are finally done and fitted.

Talk about reviving an old thread. Thanks for good words, believe it or not the kit has not been fitted yet , but it is finally getting done. Hope to be finished in a couple of weeks, will post up pics then.

Complete car for parts, I have kept a few items for myself, the motor has a shredded timing belt and appears to have bent valves. Here is a list of some items. 91 UZZ31, non EMV Soarer. Dark Grey leather interior, complete with door trims, window surrounds, console, seat belts jesus...

No numbers yet Scott. Looking at a better catch can set up than the one I had. I think I will end up deleting the PCV altogether. After talking to a tuner last night he says I should go for a twin 3" exhaust to help it breath a bit better as well. Need to have a think about that.

What I should of mentioned John was that I knew that I was down on compression in No5 cyl, and with the extra boost, we think the problem is the compression rings giving me to much pressure in the crankcase. Lew is getting the old motor and when he pulls the heads off we find out then any...

Just a bit of an update with my obsession. I have a variety of issues with mine since the supercharger was fitted, like an engine fire causing quite a bit of damage, mainly to the loomand some cosmetic damage. Since then it has been one gremlin after another, repair the loom as well as...

For those who have been following (and are still halfway interested) in this build thread, Still interested and amazed at the lengths you are going to to achieve what you want. Big thumbs up.

Very impressive work Scott, it all appears to be coming together pretty good. :You_Rock_Emoticon:

And I was annoyed{pissed off} with mine dropping compression in in no 7 getting blowby and loosing the rear main. Rod, like John said walk away from it for a while, then when you feel like it, get back to it. Paul.

Dumb question, but how do you go about venting the dipstick tube.

Thanks John, just makes my buying another motor OK. At least I will have a spare motor to do something with one day.

Is it possible to pressurize the crankcase through the cylinder, I know that I have one cylinder that is down on compression, could this be a possible cause?

John, the vacuum source is from the intake before the supercharger, and the PCV valve is in the right way.

Thanks Rod but I am pretty sure I have that right, pre throttle body, sucking any fumes into the can and trapping any residue.

I have been experimenting with a catch can set up to see how it works. The home made can is divided into two chambers with a perforated mesh insert in the bottom section and stainless steel scouring pads fitted under the divider. this is only experimental so it it looks a bit...

Richwood manifold, no cooling, when the ecu is done I will know then if it will need some form of cooling, probably water/meth injection. Got to go away for work for the next two or three weeks, so not much will happen for a while.

I have been very quiet, change of job and a few other things going on. Car is running sweet, ecu will be done soon, and body kit after that, will post final results when that is done. I log on every now and then to see what is happening with yours, very impressive, and with John Cribbs and...

Very impressive Justen, a 3.3 litre Whipple would be a good upgrade. Nice to know I can throw a few more pounds at mine soon, no where near what you are doing though.
