Can't help with the bellhousing but just wanted to compliment you on the nice looking setup! Hope it'll run well for you.

No personal experience with the VVTi's, but we do have guys here with tons of experience with them. All around, they're supposed to be more capable motors than the non-VVTi's, except for the interference design, and their weak rods........ Kelvin, you're the expert on running the VVTi's on...

Same Opcon blower as Rod, but instead of an intercooler, I was injecting methanol upstream of the blower for charge air cooling. I too had ARP studs and Cometic head gaskets. I think my issue may have been one of detonation, as we were dancing pretty close to the danger zone with ignition...

Soup, I had my heads lift at 21 PSI of supercharged boost. Also, would you please fill out your profile a little more, so others near you can better assist?

Welcome - you'll probably receive some useful feedback from the guys in Oz as they've had more real world experience with high power 1UZ's than the rest of us. The block is strong and should support the power levels you want w/o any problems; head lifting can be an issue at high boost, however...

Unless there has been some fundamental breakthrough in engine control in the last couple of years that I'm unaware of, the injectors need to know whether the engine is on its intake stroke, or power stroke, and the only way of determining this is with a cam sensor. The ignition doesn't care...

I'm curious to know how you can do away with the cam trigger by going to a 36-2 tooth gear? For ignition it doesn't matter because you can run waste spark, but how do the injectors know when to fire? You need a cam trigger for that, AFAIK.

Thanks, that fixed it. IIRC the "old" forum software default was oldest message first.

Yep, that fixed the error message, thanks. What about inverting the message order in threads? With the old software, that used to be one of the personal preferences that users could change. I like to see the newest messages at the top of the threads.

When I "hover" above my Username, I get a popup box that lets me view/change some of my profile & preferences information, however if I click on my Username, instead of hovering, I get an error message that I don't have permission to view this page or perform this action. And no, I haven't been...

This ought to be obvious, but where is the "settings" page that allows you to customize certain things in your profile? For example, when viewing a thread, I'd prefer to see the latest message at the top. Currently it's displaying the oldest message first.

Richard, are you the same "Brain" that has been supporting this forum for years? Upgrade looks great & everything I've used so far is working well.

Melvin, wish I could help, but I've never used the stock ignition or ignitors on the 1UZ, nor the stock ECU. It seems you're having more than your share of issues with this setup, and maybe it's because it's in a boat and subject to more vibration/moisture/corrosion, etc. I think you'd be...

Try swapping one thing at a time until you find the culprit. It almost sounds like a restricted return line, or the Aeromotive is sticking.

Wow......I'll say it's tight! Looks like a BMW :) They're legendary for stuffing V12's in spaces that are challenged to fit V8's. Nice piece of work to get it to fit, Kriss!

Kriss, any pics of the swap with the RB26 in place? Good luck with the V12 project. Several of those have been started, but very few finished :)

Well done!!! Thanks for sharing. What sort of boost are you running?

Rod, I'd read somewhere that it'll go for around $29K USD, but I don't know if that includes engine + ECU + wiring harness + ????. Doubt that it'll pass an emissions inspection - it'll probably be race only, but there are ways around that in some states over here. For sure it'll be a great...

Here's one that both JBrady and I can like: http://mercurynewsroom.com/mercury-racing-reveals-sb4-7-0-automotive-crate-engine/ Looks like a really sweet motor, and it's making 110 HP/Liter

Rod, I would put the DVM on an injector clip, and on the terminal that you're fairly sure should be the ECU side that normally gets pulled to earth to fire the injector. I would then go one by one and disconnect all the other injector clips from their injectors. If you lose the +12 when you...
