getting back to the subject of how small the rods are, you have to remember how many cubes are sitting on top of each one. this is a high reving small displacment engine, just like 2 4cyl engine of which is what you should be comparing these rods to. based on what i have uncovered through...

great pics. thanks for the the info. Paul

ok Zuffen, as you would be aware, the vvti has the air intake coming from the front. so looking front on the black box is a flat long rectangle shape with i think a hoses coming od the cam rocker cover. it may just be a pollution gear type thing. i guess ill just pull it apart and have look...

No, definatley kg. (Australian)& vvti not standard 1uz. Is better than the 375kg 351 that came out of the boat. To me that makes the 1uz bloody light. I must admit, that that was the weight on the couriers invioce. Paul

Ok, i have my vvti engine, feeling pretty good now, can anybody tell me what the black plastic bos is that sits on the top right hand side connected to the air in duct? it has one or two hoses attached. i want to remove it if its not required. Also, whats the bestb product to use to clean up the...

Aussie well, i might as well say my bit. here in Tasmania we see a lot of American tourist, and of the one ones i have talked to just want to talk about them selves, ie, how big there boat is, car is, how much wider the roads are back home, how god dam bib there mountains are etc. It just...

i am using the microtech ecu (i think) i am unsure what idling control this has.i would rather save the weight (and time) and not fit one. the only problem is that my leg is the 1990 omc leg, operates with a dog clutch. old engine set up required a small micro switch to shut down for a split...

thanks for the info. good to hear of somthing that is close to what i am doing. your right, i think it wil do the job, but i think i have thirst for more power. we will see how i go. ill definatley have a full report later. what ecu do the epics run,and do they run a marine alternator? i am...

Guys, i just bought a vvti from adelaide *** for $1800. i am told that because mines going in a boat i can run a $1100 microtech unit with out any dramas. the research i did seem to indicate that the vvti operates on rpm and is hydralicaly controlled. the honda v-tech requires electric...

do you think that the engine requires a fly wheel to run properly and to idle smoothly, i am unsure wether or not to make one even though mine is going through a stern drive leg. Paul

Guys, do you think that i should be concerned with my Bayliner boat install? i might too look at deepening the sump and lowering the pick up. i have not seen what sump i am getting as yet, but its a vvti model. looks flat in the photo i got from the supplier.t paul

looks just like a factory installation. great choice. Paul

Hi Rod, Any fuel pump recomendation for the Bayliner install. Some say use 2 pumps? Can i just buy one of the shelf, any idea what jordy used in the ski boat? Also do i need to install a return fuel line to the tank or isnt it required. If any body else knows, advice is welcomed. Paul

Jordy, i have a 1uz vvti on the way. i am able to modifiey the bellhousing to fit the omc stern drive in the bayliner its going in but i am not sure on the fly wheel mods. how did you do it? did you remove the gear tooth of the flex plate from the original factory auto or did you start from...

no going back now, im as happy as pig in sh##. just ordering a 1uz vvti. yep, someone from the forum gave me the tip of where there was one. In fact, if it wasnt for this forum, i would still be scratching my head wondering what to do. the vvti should have easily enough torque and kws. engine...

you will pay for it with the weight penalty. if you change, check out wasp marine under NZ yellow pages. they sell good marine engines. they also have done some 1uz conversions. Paul

thank you very much for the tip. i am purchasing this engine as we speak.type? i think i need the extra torque for the boat its going in. many thanks paul

andrew, are the 2 skiers that you tow bare foot or on skis?. i am starting to wonder wether or not the 4.0 litre has enough torque to lift my bayliner onto the plan. the 5.8 does sorry did it with ease (when the thing was going). i am not after huge amounts of speed at this stage, just a more...

guys i am about to order a standard 1uz due to not being able to find vvt 1uz. how come in NZ they are readily available? can somone price a vvt from NZ?? ichiban hasnt seen one for years. Paul

doctor,doctor, i too was very convinced to use the autronic system on the 1uz bayliner conversion. but after talking to a guy by the name of steven cox who speacilizes in the autronic and original ecu setups sugested that i sticked to the original due to the reasons your having. i can give you...
