cjsupra90 is working on 1UZ conversion. I think he is going manual. Check his thread.

I guess it depends on how strong the stand alone set up is.

Since a fan shroud is for pulling air across the entire radiator, not having one will take that away. You will only get cooling in the spot of the fan. The fan creates low pressure behind the radiator and the shroud gets all of it.

Which statement? That open loop is not entered because of fuel trim? I don't think so.

I don't know what to say to that. It is flat out not true. The part about it being a nightmare. That tuning strategy is true of the original TCCS in the 80's also. You have to meat the terms of Vf, or the fuel trim will change. That is a good thing, by the way. And when you max the Vf and set a...

The compactness of the 3S is an advantage of the 1G. If somebody has dimensions on both and I am wrong, then share.

Lack of a fan shroud isn't going to help anything.

That is a good thing. Although some people are turned off by the tighter emission monitoring, it makes figuring out EFI problems much easier with the required serial data.

Or low on oil.

What is this, Honda world? The idea of a 2200 lb car is correct. Engines convert fuel into torque. Torque is a function of displacement. You are fighting a massive uphill battle. Yes, an inline is a better design than a V engine, but the engine is so small, it does not make up for it. I...

Good to hear you are staying V8. I couldn't figure out why you would by an SC400, and take the motor out, when you could just buy an SC300 and build it a little.

I think it sucks. It has the size and weight disadvantage of an inline, with the displacement of a Honda. Lots of boost and only 200 hp.

I haven't seen a 4 speed automatic Toyota where you could not shut off the overdrive function with a switch. That will prevent upshift into overdrive. But you will down shift when the speed calls for it. If you simply coast dow, the torque converter will unlock, and for good reason. You can...

I was going to say the engine doesn't have lifters. The idle is a little high when warm.

Twin screw and iron block, its only weight.

1. I don't know. Yes, it probably is the A340 family if that car is RWD. 2.Based on US models, and other transmissions, no. 3rd is direct drive. You have to understand the importance of a transmission. The engine does not make nearly enough power to move the car from a stop. So gear...

For the question of 2 bolt and 4 bolt, diesel engines are always built much stronger than the gas counterpoints. With the exception of that hunk of poo that GM converted. The extreme cylinder pressures dictate that they must be stronger.

You are not going to lose low end, you will gain. Unless the tuning of the cam is wrong.

Because you washed the engine and now it runs bad. Just a hunch. If you know you didn't spill the water in the head, then great. What about the distributor? Yes, you could have a problem that simply popped up at the same time as washing the engine.
