I was told Indy Blue injectors are built to handle Methanol. They pop up on ebay a bit so for more info do an ebay search or a google search. I was told you could have two maps, a race map and a petrol flush map programed into your ecu. Nice and simple once sorted I would imagine. Nath

On this site elsewhere, in the comparison of the 1uz 2uz and 3uz rods, all were exactly the same length. Is this correct? Then the bigger stroke is because of a different piston size right? Nath

I agree that crower rods are not the only ones out there. Race engine builders always swear on select parts. Just looking at the Crower catalog. They make 2UZ Rods. It does not say to what quality but the part number is this: Crower Toyota 2UZ-FE Rods part number: B93760B-8 I'll fire an...

Just got off the phone from Trick & Mansweto Race Engines. They had no problem doing all the machining of the original Ross group buy pistons but they said they would not offset the grudgen pin but keep it the same and grind .0455" off the top of the piston. When I told him I was looking at a...

Hey, I just had a light bulb moment with this setup David. If we have to narrow the Chevy rods down so the two can share the one jurnal, you'll need to do the same for the bearings right? How is this done? NAth

Hi Lowboost, I'm going a step beyond you to even get rid of the water pump and the oil pump. I will run the original oil pump but it will be mounted into a special engine plate that will also mount the engine to the chassis. I'm building a Drag Race engine. Get rid of everything I...

Thanks Rod, are they a reuseable part? I would imagine it would be? I am getting close to working out a new oil pump / front engine plate / blower drive girdle. Iteresting stuff. I'll post pics when I work it out. Nath

Hi all, Just pulled my haed off the block last night after going nuts trying to figure why it wouldn't come off easy. Turns out I didn't see the two head bolts that are on the outside of the cam covers. Doh! Anyway there are two dowl rings in the block that locate the head to the block...

Inlet or Outlet Hi, if I could jump in here a little as it's kinda on topic. I want to run my engine without the oil pump and with a dry sump. I am looking at mounting a engine block plate / crank support for my 6:71 blower. As the picture discribes, is this an inlet or outlet for the oil...

Thanks David, Have sent him an email and will send out some to the locals here in Sydney to get a local price. It might be easier to save the hassel of importing the rods. I'll see how it goes. Hard part for me is finding an engine builder who will understand what we're doing, most will...

Rod Part Number Hi Dave, I am interested in modifing my Forged Group Purchase Pistons and use Chevy Rods. Do you have a part number for the Eagle Rods pictured above? Is it: CRS5700B3D or CRS5700S3D These are part numbers from the Eagle web site. Cheers, Nath

rods I don't think the engine will be stripped over the weekend, perhaps it will but I know these guys run on a tight budget and will be trying not to hurt their engine. As they said to me, "We're doing all our own research, no one else is running this engine at this level." I was unable to...

Hi everyone, I managed to get out to Western Sydney International Dragway for the opening season East Coast Nationals. Unfortunatly It was rained out as the Pirhana Racing team were on the start line. Bummer. I had a chat to the lads and got to see their awsome 1000+hp 1uz close up...

I just pulled my water pump on the weekend which was easy as it's on a stand and not in a car. I thought the engine was empty of fluids but of course as I popped off the Pump I was covered in Green engine coolant. I felt really stupid and had to clean up a big mess I was not prepared for. So...

Hi DaR Have a search around on this site and you'll find there are lots of us out there looking at such options. Chevy Rods are looking the best but as your question is too broad to answer without a whole lot more info I doubt you'll get anyone telling you any combinations. The answer to...

I got mine from Ichibahn in Sydney, 900 bucks without computer. It had all sensors and stuff but the loom was cut. It had all the pumps etc on the front. I'm happy.

Everything you say is correct and in fact it is true that some of us are looking for major power. I think build it strong, encourage manufactures to supply parts and build it strong. I'm hoping to get about 700hp at the wheels. I don't want to hurt my engine by throwing a rod that's at it's...

I would image the only R&D needed is the fabrication of fitting the engine in the chassis. With sound principales it is easy to get powr out of any setup. As said abouve the 1UZ is rock solid. The R&D most people do is trying to figure out how to stop breaking parts. With a strong bottom end you...

I'm building a 6/71 Roots Blown 1UZ-FE for a custom Reliant kitten I imported last year. The little pic next to my username is the mock up. Search this site or my posts to see some pics of my engine etc. I love hot rods and really should be building one instead of this crazy little drag car...

I had a beautiful 1963 Chevy BelAir which rolled on the plates - LO1963 . It was stupidly low and I never really understood that it drew look from everyone like a magnet. It gave me a complex, I alsays thought my hair must be out of whack or something, everyone was staring at me all the time...
