    NEW REBUILD ENGINE W/ BIGGER TURBO

    I installed an MSD on a 92 Toyota, and the signal that the MSD intercepts is also used by the ECU to fire the injectors. The MSD weakened the signal to the point that the ECU didn't see it, and stopped firing the injectors. (The car stopped running) I'm assuming that this will happen with the SC...

    NEW REBUILD ENGINE W/ BIGGER TURBO

    **"If I remember correctly"** I ran a completely stock motor on stock timing with a fuel pressure regulator & turned up fuel pressure. At 10psi I melted a stock piston. I then ran forged 8.5:1 piston, 16 fuel injectors, & stock timing. At 16-17psi I melted a forged piston, and head gasket...

    NEW REBUILD ENGINE W/ BIGGER TURBO

    It sounds like it's gonna be a fun set up. I wish you luck with your project. I had stock pistons fail just over 12 PSI. I was running stock timming. probably not the smartest move. The stock trans will not hold 400hp. They fail about 350 ft-lbs I'm sure the trans cooler will help, but not for...

    WOW it's very similar to the setup of your LS or is that the SC? And Yes the intercooler was custom made by Chris (Chrisman) It's 2 Garrett 4 1/2 inch cores. similar to yours again with the up/down flow. I just hope the bumper cover fits back over it with little trimming. I don't want to cut...

    I'm running 2 14 inch electric fans in front of the radiator. They are not in the pictures due to we are still mocking things up. It might be a problem with the intercooler blocking all the air, but it's a large aluminum radiator for a chevy stock car. I think I should be ok. keep your fingers...

    I agree with you Steve. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stick with a T3/T4. I just think 2 T4's on a 4.0L is a little big. especially when T3's can flow enough air to make 500+ hp. X2 that's a lot of air. Thanks Vander!! The car made just over 500 at the wheels before the rebuild. For driveability...

    To be honest I haven't decided yet. We are using the 2 on the car for mock up. Probably looking at T3's with 50 something MM intake compressor.

    Oil Jets

    A spacer need to be put under the hold down tab so that it lays level. This is the squiter in the bottom right hand corner with the Ross Pistons, and Pauter Rods. Squiter from the top. Uper right hand corner of the cylinder.

    Yes this is correct. they machine one of there flywheels to work with the crank of the 1UZ. Yes this is also correct. No drilling needed by anybody. In post #72 I posted 4 pictures. the first picture shows the flexplate, and the flywheel. The Flexplate is bolted to the crank with the same...

    Hey Guys, Chris was looking at the stock rods I had in my motor. We didn't notice it when we took the motor apart, but 5 of the 8 rods had the piston pin bushing turned inside the rod. (The small end on the rod) We thinks that this turning grabbed the piston pin and caused a weird stress, which...

    12 psi on stock 1UZFE, Is it safe?

    I ran 10psi on a stock motor, and I melted a piston, "BUT" i wasn't pulling any timming. I think a stock 1UZ can handle more then 12, but it has to be tunned correctly. I did run about 8 psi with just extra fuel, and the car ran pretty well.
