i like the goals, sure wish the pics were there. love to see the 1uz getting some love.

i come walking up in the driveway with my leakdown tester and now we dont need to use it. upon closer examination of the timing belt there was a mystery grove in it, along with lots of fibers frayed, with rounded teeth. the water pump pulley sheared off the pump itself. concluding that the belt...

and CEL's? my sc did the same shit when i first bought it, only it was once in a while. when a piece of catylatic converter would break apart and clog it up in there it would act up. when i took off the cats they were so gummed up im surprised it ran. i didnt even have to change the o2's, fresh...

what ems are you running? who tuned it?

we tried to compression check it, his tool isnt the best. i need to bring my compression and leakdown tester over and see wassup. andy- did you check the resistance of the plug wire? is it intact? or is it the plug itself not firing? we need to trace down the problem to the specific cylinders...

well it just so happens i have a spare 1uz just sitting to go in my buddys hilux. i can mock everything up on his motor. seems like the oil drain is going to turn out like the biggest pain pita of the whole build.

blackuzz31: would you care to explain the difference? i tried looking it up to no avail. thank you! and i as well would like to see the correct way to use an oil cooler on the 1uz, that being said i have been told they are not necessary. buuut i still would like to know.

intrigued to see this solution, going to turbo my 1uz, and would like to have them plugged in, and still have no CEL's.

damn! those are some fantastic control arms. i come from a prerunner/offroad backround so i really do appreciate some works of art when i see them. 2 thumbs up dude! ive been following this build for many moons, and you are always stepping the game up. ive been on quite a few forums and hardly...

if you dont have the primary and secondary o2s at least plugged in you will get a "clogged cat" code and your car willl run in limp mode. usually spits and sputters.

is the top pan easier to remove? if its easier then ill just pull it off and pay someone to weld the aluminum AN bung

on another note, im going to run a -10 drain, i have read the lextreme diy as to put it under the crank pulley, note in that diy picture that its on a ls400, sc's are diff. on his sc470tt i see both drains on the side of the upper pan, which i think is aluminum. am i able to put it inthe steel...

hmm i was thinking about using 2.25 to loop the header around to the driver side, then making the passenger header runner 2.5" all the way to the turbo flange. i will definitely need to route the DP up and over, megan 32 ways= no room under neath. yes i am in so cal. high desert area, apple...

ive seen cressy fenders 3"+ with some elbow grease. should be able to clear that wheel no problem. keep up the good work

we can throw in my 1uz ecu and check.

sweet!!! looks like a tight squeeze on the passenger side near the alterantor/sway bar mount/frame. did you perform all the fabrication? appears to be 3" correct? i was thinking of using a few 3" mandrel bends from jegs and splicing in a few 2jz downpipe slices ive came across. ohh and im...

looks good! love to see how you guys down under are NOT afraid to make some custom stuff. seems like the 1uzfe has a fair amount of believers down there! i can count on one hand all the 1uz/5 speeds in the US, let alone 1uz/turbo-s/c

OHH and if anyone has single turbo 1uz downpipe pictures please post them up! they are like trying to hunt down a unicorn!

thanks for the speedy reply! looks like i might just keep it OEM oil set up until i "need" the cooler, might just repurpose my setrab cooler as a p/s cooler. well, looks like the only "issue" i have, i cannot address yet is the downpipe. i want a slightly drivers side front turbo...

bumping from the dead! finally about to pull the trigger on this build, took the past year to get the exterior of my car dialed in to my liking. few questions- 1) i have the oil filter plate that totally replaces the OEM unit. does anyone know which is the feed/return port(if you unbolt the...
