Hi All I have just been doing a search for the clearance from the crank to the sump, nothing on this. I am starting to fab my drysump pan and wanted to know how much the crank sticks out / down from the block. I was hoping I could do a shallow pan of about 40mm. Many Thanks Alan

Hi All I have been thinking of a 7 speed tiptronic gearbox for my 1UZ-FE, I am thinking of a Mercedes 7 speed unit, the one I am thinking off has an internal ecu as part of the valve plate, It has power in sensor inputs and a can input. Spoke to a Mercedes gear box re builder and he says it can...

Hi All Anybody got a picture of where the water from the oil cooler returns to the block Thanks Alan

Hi All. Where is the best place to run water to my turbos and return it back to the engine, I was told it had to come from the engine after the thermostat and go back into the engine as there is no flow through radiator when the thermostat is closed ??, is this right, I have a swirl pot in the...

Hi All So does this mean after market controllers that do this from the ECU will still work with this cable, is there a electronic way to replace the cable unit. Alan

Hi All This cable, I have this from the throttle to the gearbox, I have a Spitronic engine and gearbox ECU's to fit, do I just disconnect this cable or do I need to keep it. Second question is, Will the LS 460 (2008) gearbox fit onto a 1994 1UZ-FE, don't to loose the auto Trans. Alan

Hi All I spoke to Piper camshafts at the Autosport Show on Saturday, they have some 1UZ-FE blanks, question what would the best camshaft timing be for a Turbo charged 1UZ-FE. Alan

Hi The way I was looking at it was , one way round the air hugs the bottom of the plenum and the other way it directs it up to the top of the plenum, don't know if this makes any differance to performance. Alan

Hi Should have said, using a Mustang GT 4.6 twin blade throttle body an a custom plenum. so sorry Alan

Hi All. Is there a right way to fit a throttle body, one way it opens allowing air to enter over the top of the blade and if you turn it upside down it enters over the bottom of the blade. In a turbo engine would this make a difference to the air flow in the plenum and cylinder filling. I...

Hi All will this help http://users.erols.com/srweiss/tableifc.htm Alan

Hi You mean one of these?

Hi I got the 1UZ and had to re do all the chassis to get the engine and box in, been 19 monthe of hell but well worth it, on the last bits, it runs ok but need to change to a stand alone. On the plenum I was not sure if I should put deflectors in as I don't have any info about turbp plenums...

Hi All Since my first post I have been looking for a 6 or 7 speed gearbox to do onto the 1UZ-FE engine. I have a chance to get a Mercedes W221 S-class S350 7 Speed Automatic Tiptronic Gearbox with ecu and as much wiring as I need. Anybody put a Mercedes box on a 1UZ-FE yet, could be a cool...

Hi All. Got a Formula A1 carbon plenum, this is made in a 5 bar autoclave, should only need a slight mod to fit, it is the same size as the lower manifold and will fit under the bonnet. Has any body made one before and whot boost did you use, I have only 11 psi. I have a BBK throttle body of...

Many Thanks chaps Alan

Hi All, There are 2 radiator hose connections on the engine (1994 none VVTI) , from the front the hose with the thermostat (plastic right angle housing) goes to the lower radiator connection and the streight goes to the top radiator fitting. Is this right and how is the circulation flow on...

Hi All Looking to change the 1UZ-FE automatic gearbox, don't want to go manual so what is there to use. Would like 6 gears and run it from a paddle shift. Is there a ecu that would control 6 speeds as a standalone. Alan

I did see a mobility push button gear selector and it will fit the Lexus LS400 Alan

Hi All Anybody looked at replacing the standard gear shift and link rod, I saw a rotery switck in a hotrod mag and he just used a 5 position switch and some led's, any thoughts on this, I would think its only wires to the ECU Alan
