    turbo charging 2uzfe

    hmmm... twin turbo will likely save more space than a single turbo, because a Vee engine would need a complicated header setup. if you really know what your doing, you can tuck the turbos right beside the engine, provided you arent worried about heat. as for hp gains, i dont know an exact...

    Testing Picture attachment

    uhh.... i hate Coke. Jibbby-they probably didnt mention general laziness because it wont kill you in a minimum of a week or two. i dont think chronic laziness is bad enough in teenagers that they just sit there and die when watching TV(drugs not included). i personally have an XBox360, and i...

    When did the 1UZ begin to look like the 2UZ, intake valve covers etc.?

    last time i checked they are in the same family, so i see no reason to be surprised that it looks just like a 2UZ. and while we are on the subject, when did the 2UZ come out? that might answer your question.

    180 degree headers for 1uz

    cool, a bundle of snakes. there are some typos on your pic also. on the matched cylinder numbers, next to the drawing; cylinders 1-4 are on B, and cylinders 2-8 are on A. when you finish it, i would like to hear what it sounds like.

    Ethanol and Methanol Q's

    there isnt anything at all thats stopping you from converting a 1UZ to full alcohol but yourself. it can and has been done to other engines before.

    stalls

    jibbby might know. i think he was one of the ones to replace his stock converter to a dragon model.

    Transcooler

    it doesnt hurt to have some insurance. overkill or not, braided steel hoses will last longer because they arent as suseptible to external damage.

    does anyone know what the new Tundra 5.7 engine model # is (like 1UZ, 2uz, etc.)?

    i think its called the 4UR or 5UR. one of the two. there is a topic on the new Lexus V8s in the this site. and there is also an article about them on Wikipedia.

    4 point platinum spark plugs suck!!!!

    i wonder what the concept behind those spark plugs are. i have some Bosch plugs for my Montero, but i havent been able to test them, because the clutch is as fried as my last Thanksgiving turkey.

    18000 mile 1UZFE, where to put the money in a mild High performance rebuild

    no, its a good idea to replace all the bearings and rings. you should get better compression. if you dont the new rings and bearings will certainly last longer, so you wont have to worry about them on the trail(unless your just unlucky). 180000 is a lot of miles, so it would be wise to at least...

    Lexus Vs. Infiniti

    damn, thats beastly. i would love to have one of those to play with. but i would love to have one of the Mitsubishi Direct Injection V8s even more.

    Capability To Hold Power ???

    i dont know about the 1JZ, but if you want to stay stock then your probably better off with a 2JZ. its already an incredibly strong engine all around, and built for forced induction. were the 1UZ isnt. the 1UZ was designed and built(speculation) with luxury and smoothness in mind, so it doesnt...

    Supercharging AND Turbocharging

    feed the supercharger into the turbos, instead of the other way around. there isnt much point in supercharging and turbocharging anyway. the technology doesnt exist to make a V8 light enough and viable to production. im sure you could do it weight effectively with a low displacement V8, such...
