Yeah Sorry David. I've been on, but just doing a lot of reading, not much in the comment department. My 1UZ has been getting about an hours worth of work a week. And I keep debating back and forth about putting the stock rods back in (Which I did) And then again what caused the soft piston in...

I got the motor put back together, and have some photos I'd like to share. Hope you guys like em.

Hey Guys, Chris & I have been playing with another project. Chris had a TT Corvette at the shop, and it got me motivated to move back on the Lexus again. I took a Spare rod out of another motor we had at the shop (Thanks for the offer David), And I plan on getting the motor & Trans mated, and...

Hey Guys Chris(man) & I have been working on an AE86 RWD Corolla lately. We do not have the Getrag on the 1UZ yet, but I will tell Chris to post on this thread. Chris did get me a dual disc clutch from the same manufacture for the 1.6L corolla. Someone had asked about this clutch on a W58 Trans...

Dass, Who are you talking about in this case? Me, or someone else?

Not sure if i belive the rods can hold 100HP a piece anymore.

Bent a Rod Well while assembling the 1UZ Chris noticed that a piston was moving funny, or actually was having trouble moving correctly. We took the rod n piston back out, and noticed that the bronze bushing in the rod end had grabbed the piston pin. (If you look in the pictures you can see the...

Thanks John, but the promotion came with more responsibilty, but no more $$. I keep missing you at Chris's, and Tom's Every time I get over there, they say i just missed ya.

chris has been out of the country, and I got a promotin, and have been traveling the last couple weeks. We plan on putting the motor together very soon, a couple weeks she should be running again.

I'm not using mine, so if anyone is interested in it, let me know. brand new coolmist still in the box

I don't think there is anything wrond with water/alcohol injection (Whichever you use) I think it will help, but I don't think the early 1UZ is a great platform to just spray into. Unless you do it equally into each runner/Cylinder The other thing is that it is a constant flow. it doesn't...

Hey robbie, not to rob ryan's post, but no the trans will not handle the power increase. the trans needs to be upgraded. to answer your question about fuel mileage, is do not install a turbo/supercharger if this is your worry. my gas mileage has probably cut in 1/2 or more. can you make a setup...

I've spoken with the guy from cooling mist, and he is very helpfull. But I don't think the side feed intake manifold on the 1uz is a good choice for water/alcohol injection. My thoughts are that the heavier liquid will tend to go tward the middle 2 cylinders, and very little liquid will make the...

650rw is around 800 at the crank with the Auto. It is very hard for me to belive that that intercooler is going to flow enough air for 800hp, let alone cool it. I don't think a water/alcohol injection system is a good idea on the stock manifold, unless you do injection into each runner...

Thanks Eric. LS1 Rod bolt!!! Bought ARP LS1 rod bolts from Summit for $80-90 bucks, and they work. They are going in for the new rebuild. Feel free to PM Me. I have no secrets, and will be happy to share my experiences. I'm planning on over 600RW, and the first thing I'm doing is smashing...

And about the trans. One of the clutch packs needed to be "Mantised" Chris did some custom grinding of different clutches to get them to fit. The negitive is the set that he had to customize was the clutch pack which failed. The trans supplier claimed they could not get the correct Raybestos...

Hey Jibby, When my piston failed at 370, it was because of a lean condition. And the 370RWHP was maxing out the fuel system. Only 1 piston melted. the other 7 looked perfect. I've done a little research on rods, and most rod manufactures will rate the HP per rod. as in 100HP per rod. 400HP...

Jibby, I made 510 at the rear wheels on an early 1UZ with forged pistons. I just took the motor apart due to an injector failing. now the failed injector destroyed the piston, but the motor other then that looks great. With stock pistons I made 378 at the rear wheels, and I believe if the...

I like the bar n plate intercooler ryan, and the dual inlet in the bottom, and I'm assuming single outlet on top. Very nice peice, n design. I need to change mine from a tube n fin, to bar n plate cause of the HP the motor is making. My intercooler is 32x24x3, and is only rated to flow...

Thanks John! I think your right about it cleaning up better then paint.
