Well I got my 1GZ home on Saturday and plan on starting to get into it this weekend. In stock form that has to be one of the least attractive looking engines I have ever seen. I have seen aluminum blocks get polished up and sent out for electroless nickle plateing before so that's an option...

I currently own 3 1uzfe engines and have had the valve covers off 2 of them. Both had the exact same thing on the same head as yours. Both engines were usdm and had less then 90,000 miles and had only been pulled from there cars a week or 2 before hand. I think its a normal thing due to the...

Hear are some pics of the tilton flywheels that I am using for measurements to make mine, the fixture for turning the new flywheels and the first blank being rough turned.

I have been looking more into using Honda B16A rods and pistons and I looks like it should work. It would require grinding 0.127 off the rod journals with possibly a .010 offset grind in towards the crank. I can have the guys at Rochester steel treating re case harden the journals and...

how much would your asking price on it be?

Well I will be picking up my 1GZ-FE tomarow after noon. Can't wate to get it home and start checking it out. I have all ready started makeing a new flywheel for it and reading up on the new mega squirt 3. I have been doing lots of reaserch into my idea for swapping in honda B16A rods and...

The tilton and quartermaster 7.25 in triple plate clutches are very popular with NASCAR builders and they put in a new clutch almost every race. I see the used units for sale on ebay all the time for $100 - $400 with only 200 to 500 miles on them. They are completely rebuildable and I have...

I started on making a new flywheel tonight at work. I had bought 2 tilton flywheels lightly used from a nascar re builder that I get some parts from on occasion. I had been meaning to use them for mesurements to make a compatible fly wheel up for the 1UZ-FE and 1GZ-FE. One of the things the...

Hi Andy, If you get a chance could you please measure the width of the 1GZ rods at the big end for me. Thats the last piece of info I need to check out a possible conversion from 1GZ rods and pistons to the cheep and plentiful Honda B16A rods and pistons.

Ok, so this is what I think will work, lets see if you all agree. Set of 32 OEM Toyota 2jz-gte valve springs for $130 from horsepowerfreaks.com. They are rated at 65# seat but according to lextreme they are 80# when used in a 1UZ. They would give me a max lift of 9.65MM and hit coil bind...

Kelford 207-S1 cams Toyota / Lexus 1UZ-FE, stage one upgrade drop in, on stock springs, suits jet boat, road car & supercharger kits Duration @ Advertised = Inlet 268 Exhaust 274, Duration @ 1.27mm = Inlet 206, Exhaust 222, Valve Lift @ 1 to 1 = Inlet 8.15mm...

So If I am understanding correctly I should have no problems if I just swap the cams for the kelford supercharger cams or the lextreme stage 2 . You guys are talking about like 800HP cars doing ok on stock parts. I am only looking for around 450HP at the wheels, with new cams and headers and...

I got my radiator from FF dynamics. It was the radiator, twin fans, and fan controller for about $400. I was very impressed with the quality and the fans they have move some serious air. How ever what really sold me was that there radiators have a lifetime warranty irregardless of what the...

For the radiator fans have you considered a dual pusher setup? I wanted the extra room for my supercharger so I mounted the fans on the front of the radiator. They are slightly less efficient in this configuration but a good high quality aluminum radiator more the makes up the difference...

From what I have seen all pre VVTI 1UZ-FE dampers are the same.

Looks like I found my 1GZ. I finaly was able to get ahold of a dude who has one for sale less than 3 hours from where I live. Hole package, engine, harness, ECUs, trans, mafs EXT. If every thing gos well I will be picking it up in the next few weeks.

I looked around a bit online but could not find any pics of that setup.

LOL "the driveshaft shop" as in http://www.driveshaftshop.com/ I love it when company's use a description for there name.

When I did the 1uz swap into my supra I went with a 1 piece aluminum drive shaft. It was made to length I requested with the ends I requested by the drive shaft shop for around $350. I feel like it was money well spent and it has held up very well.
