cribbj << I don´t know, I ripped that pic from an URL that was posted here in a thread where the Nissan VH45DE is compared to a 1UZ-FE. http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2712

You could always rebuild the whole front end of the engine, totally new one-belt cog-drive to all moving parts and maby use an axle to extend the possibiltys of alternator placement, perhaps over the gearbox? Waterpump, servopump, ac etc is also possible to relocate this way, but these three...

One doesn´t want to add to camload at the end of the cam.. that will result in cam twisting and timing problems on last cylinders.

Well, an 1uz should be just fine then! There seems to be a lot of upgraded EVO:s and Imprezas in Australia, wich means plenty of nice 250-300hk unused turbochargers on various shelfs there that would be very nice on a twin-turbo 1uz!

The 1UZ is N/a buying engine + turbo/supercharger system and conversion details sounds a little tight on a $5000 budget (not much room for errors) but given that you go Twin turbo and buy small turbos - There´s a LOT of them that only collecting dust on shelfs where the owner has replaced them...

To adress the "better engine question" Please tell us more, like what´s your: budget? mech knowhow? hp goal?

Yes, but who knows if the varios components of the engine is getting the correct oil flow when running higher RPM:s èven if the standard pump could keep up and hold the oil pressure at the normal level for a standard engine supposed to operate within normal conditions? I mean, it would be good...

U should see the rest of the project... there´s no need for wanking... it´s sort of happening in the pants anyway.. ; )

Stocholm is the captial of Sweden in Scandinavia, northen europe. Maajolas car is an Ultima GTR-TT - you can read more about their utlimas here: www.ultimatestreet.com Ultima is an English Kit Car, http://www.ultimasports.co.uk, once used to try out the McLaren F1 engine, this because the...

Zuffen, I promise, I won´t try to convince you all to start using Swedish as forum main language.. ;) Thank you for your kind words!

Have you verifyed this by collecting sensor data on varios places on the engine?

I´m also interested in the liners on the 3uz bottom! Anyone out there with a really thick manual? ;)

Seriously, that´s very creative but.... sort of blaspheme ;) Filter area is WAY TO SMALL and is quite a fine restrictor.. and the "bars" in front of the turbos intake will do the same by obstructing the inlet and also causing SERIOUS turbulence, effectivley reducing the effective inlet area...

I´m not the builder, but we´re talking about a project that´s quite famous here in Sweden so I can at least give a hint. The Ultima is going to race in the "Ultimate Rally" and because of that, details and specifics will probably be a little bit limited - for obvious reasons.

hehe, Impressive, - as always! (just love those rods btw)

Sinche thread already seems to be about heads... I have heard unconfirmed rumors about a TRD head on some engine - false / true? which engine in that case? Wich head that fits the 1uz bottom end, flows best directly from factory? Wich head has the best flow-potential? if intention is...

Prices are my concern, and are also ALWAYS negotiable. Compared to other 4-6 Litre Aluminium 48v V12 engines, the pricing on this particular engine seems quite resonable. Check out McLaren/BMW, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Cosworth, Lamborghini etc - prepare for CPR... ;)

Thanx! sounds very interesting! =) Does anybody know about the weight? (complete engine whitout gearbox) package dimensions? Lenght, width, height?

Unfortunatley, my english vocabulary has some shortcomings (I´m from Sweden). Is all alloy an Aluminium alloy?
