I take my chances of posing some questions re my 1UZ here rather than making a new thread. Finally I have received from Brexit land the spareparts I have been waiting for, took a month to get the parcel through customs, things ain't going fast in Thailand. NOW: Last time I played around with...

as a follow up question; is it adviceable to remove all wires/plugs not in use?

Re diagram: I always start out with drafting wiring diagrams, helps the thinking. It may not be obvious when looking at the pics but available space for electrical thingies is very small, there are also the limitations that the beams represent, the beams are roughly a foot apart. When I think...

Sounds good, especially below 2500, happy V8 sound. The exhaust pipes (To Ai Siia) are a tad short for the real rock/roll sound. Yes man, detailed wiring diagrams (wong jon we call 'em) in colour - laminated copies in the boat.

Two pics of the outer left side; (pump and consumer/sink controls)

The inner left side; (pump and power consumer mgt/control) (bad pic, need to be outside the boat to take this shot properly, was not in mood for wading in the crappy water the other day)

Here comes 3 pics/tales of the outer right side (ie inside of the hull); (this is mainly engine, instrument, loom control)

Right hand side of the boat, immediately under the mill's right side;

The main power control panel, and the batteries; (the batteries are immediately in front of the radiator, and below of course, the longtail is now dipped deep in the water to facilitate the view)

Now turning to power/electrical; (pic is taken from aft towards fore, text under the pic in the PPT file)

The following shows three pics and tales of the exhaust stuff;

Got the idea of makig an update of the boat stuff. (I know I posted pics on the forum before but I just cannot find the thread/entries.) So here comes a new thread in the "anything goes" forum. I have a ca 10 m long longtail boat made of hardwood in a canal just 5-6 km north of Bangkok. The...

The noise is not so worrying as I am sitting in front of the mill when driving. More low end response would be most welcome though. I remember now. I asked about length/size of exhaust pipes on another forum. The simple answer I got was; Short and Fat

suffer from 3"? I thought big bore pipes were healthy? I have roughly the following setup; the bolt on exhaust flanges are Toyota original, so are the first 2 inches of pipe from the flanges it then goes into a 2" pipe that just behind the engine expands to 2 1/2" pipe for about 40+ cm and then...

155 kW is about 208 hp, that compares reasonably well to the Toyota figure of 250-260 (hp) at the flywheel, me thinks.

The conclusion must be that airboxes are unhealthy. The sheets show a considerable amount of torque, 450 Nm or thereabouts. Is that not fairly high compared to advertised specs? I thought advertised spec was in the 250-300 Nm area? Your 144 kw is about 195 hp. Maybe I am wrong but I seem to...

my pre VVT 1UZ is idling at about 500-550/600 (cold and warm), the alternator offers enough to slightly charge the batteries
