    Its EMS Time! cool!

    There are no mag sensors on the dizzy. There are sensors near the cam gear, and one tooth on the cam gear(s). Are you running sequential injection?

    New Motor Breakin with Standalone ECU?

    Just make sure there's no mismatched piston/valve issues with that 99 moter & pre 98 heads. I'm sure it will be fine as long as the cam timing is correct.

    New Motor Breakin with Standalone ECU?

    Another option would be to drop in a stock, used short block with your new heads, intake, etc, and build your ECU calibration on that. That way you don't have to worry about the rich fuel problems once your expensive block goes in. The only big difference should be the compresssion, but that...

    Parts stainless 1uz/2/3uz Exhuast flanges

    I am considerng them, as 1-3/4" primaries might work well for a supercharged motor. My current flanges are for 1.5". I need to check the exahust ports and see what kind of porting would be necessary.

    Interest In Aftermarket Intake w/ horsepower gains

    I agree toyota did leave HP, lots of it, on the table. They did this for a number of reasons, packaging, reliability, etc. I think the problem here is that changing a simple length of tubing has far more influence then simply increasing airflow. If you are changing the diameter of the tubing...

    Interest In Aftermarket Intake w/ horsepower gains

    http://www.swiftracing.com/vehicles/lexus/gs/intake_gs400.htm SRT clearly state that their air filter gains come only with AFR modifications. It looks like they do this by increasing the size of the tube around the hot wire sensor (but not sure). Why would you think an earlier gen motor...

    1uz/3uz vvti mechanism description & pics

    As does the AEM EMS (PWN vvti control). You have to set the proper frequency for the PWM and also use extra timing inputs to allow closed loop control of the cam timing. Then you have to build a rpm vs load map with timing advance/retard targets. FWIW, AEM has both "highside & lowside"...

    Interest In Aftermarket Intake w/ horsepower gains

    How do we know the gains are not becuase of just the SAFC? It's very doubtful you picked up 17 HP because of an intake filter & tube. It's very likely a fuel lean out can pick up 17 HP (I've seen that on many Toyota motors).

    UZFE to GM Transmissions adaptor Plate

    I stated philosophy, not budget. You can do your best to engineer a safe and well designed project and still keep it within a reasonable budget. Not using dowel pins is just irresponsible. But anyway, do what you want.

    UZFE to GM Transmissions adaptor Plate

    Just want to try to comment without starting a holy war here: You really need those dowel pins used on the adapter plate. The car manufacturers don't use those for grins; they are very important. You cannot rely on the bolts to stop the transmission from "twisting" from the engine. All...

    Brake Specific Fuel Consumption of UZ motors.....

    I am no expert on BSFC, but I would guess that you want more energy from combustion to go into turning the crankshaft and less energy into heating the exhaust and coolant. You can help some of this by coating the pistons and combustion chamber with material which inhibits heat transfer. You...

    General Approach to transmission adapters

    Idally one would measure the distance between the rear engine flange and the end of the crankshaft, where the input shaft is to reside, then comapre this to the distance of the 1UZ rear flange and its crankshaft (where the input shaft would go). So, for example, if the 2JZ rear flange ended at...

    General Approach to transmission adapters

    I am honestly not sure about the porsche torque tube, but you do have a valid concern. I would do everything I could to make sure the input shaft is where it's suppossed to be. If needed, maybe to can mill down the torque tube flange and the V8 rear flange to make room for the adapter...

    T56 Vs. V160

    Can you explain why you think stress is more at lower rpm vs higher rpm, given torque remains the same?

    Fastest/Cheapest stock sportscar for the buck?

    You could not pay me to take a 944. Those things are money pits. The GM and Ford pony cars are probably not a bad option.

    powerglide adaptor

    Guys, if you are going to do the "old method", to trace or transfer milling/drilling points, at the very least have the rear of the engine pointing up, then the adapter plate on top, then the tranny on top of that, centered with the input shaft. Do -not- put all this together (for purposes of...

    1UZ fits in Supra!

    It's the original factory PP from my 2JZGTE, on there just for fitment purposes. I have an ACT "HD" PP, also from a 2JZGTE (when I had HKS twins) that's going on with a kevlar lined, sprung clutch disc from South Bend Clutch. That combo should hold the torque I anticipoate with the...

    V8 IS300 swap

    I am just amazed at how quickly you have gotten that together. The conversion looks top notch! I can't wait to see phase 2 ;)

    1UZ fits in Supra!

    Yes, flywheel will get balanced :) I got the 1UZ ring gear on today, but it still needs to be tacked. Also slotted the holes and test fit it on the 1UZ. Looks like everything lines up OK.
