ahhhh I see, thanks for all the information peewee

Sorry mate by FMU I mean Rising Rate Fuel Regulator, I dont know why people call them that but thats what I have always heard people refer to them as.

My Celsior is NA, i dont know much about FMU's but I know of several people running them on NA 4 cylinders. I was just thinking that after some intake and exhaust mods it may want/need more fuel. Is the reason FMU's are not applicable becuase the oxygen sensors etc will tell the ECU that there...

Hi, Just wondering if it is possible to setup a FMU on a 1UZ and if so whether anyone has done it? Would it be worthwhile with headers, catback exhaust setup and a coldair box? Cheers

I feel for the fans that bought tickets, but it is a competitive sport. Changing the speed of that corner the day before the race would not be fair to the teams running Bridgestone. The FIA havent modified all the other tracks to suit Bridgestone teams whos tyres have been really struggling with...

id be very interested in the power differences, I have been planning on removing the chamber when I make a cold air box. I was wanting to replace all the stock piping from the TB to the MAF and then a custom airbox with a snorkel to around the number plate area on my Celsior. I have read that...

Hi Muzz, Cheers for your advice again mate, I think your right, I may as well hire a booth. I have tried reading about colour sanding but dont really understand what it achieves. Do you know if it is for changing the finish or making the clear adhere more strongly?

Hi thanks for the reply, he has painted several cars and said to me that compared to painting super yachts cars are childs play. He said the reason is because car paint is much easier to use than boat paint. I have no idea about this but he does have about 10 years experience. My main concern is...

Thanks for all the advice, ill have another look around and see what I can find

yeah im really happy with them, I like going low and these go low enough that you could sit the car on its belly :D Handles like a dream too

I can make Auckland or Hamilton, itd be sweet to see some 1UZ rides

Hi, I have a 90 Celsior, a mate of mine paints yachts etc for a living, he has offered to prep and paint my car for a good price. I have no idea about paint and am wondering what brand or type of paint I should buy. The car is Forest Green at the moment and im wanting to go for a deep black. I...

I dont know how they would suit circuit racing but I have JIC coilovers in my 1990 Celsior, I am going to be raising it on Saturday and will get the model number off them if your interested.

Im not saying that KDog is wrong or questioning his advice, but finding someone who has experience in making headers for a 1UZ who I can trust to make a good product is harder than it sounds. Out of the performance shops I have called few of them have any experience at all with 1UZ's and a few...

Ill call Link and get their perspective, thanks gloverman, Kdog thanks for your advice. I have looked into headers and have been quoted at least $1500NZD, because of my lack of experience in these things I feel reluctant to hand that over with no guarantees of good workmanship or performance...

Hi Gloverman thanks for all the info, my celsior has the stock auto and traction control, removing the traction control is fine with me though if it makes things easier. So the link cannot fully replace the stock ECU, is this the norm as far as aftermarket ECU transplants go? Apart from the idle...

Thanks for the replys, Lex I dont know how much HP it will give me, I was hoping forum members could tell me how much to expect. lsk12, thanks for your post, im stoked to find someone running that setup. Do you recommend the link setup? Was the install and tuning long and involved?

Hi, A local performance shop has recommended that I go for a standalone ECU [Link LM5 I beleive], my 1990 Celsior and 1UZ are pretty much stock. Im wondering how much more rwhp I can expect/hope for from only tuning with an aftermarket ECU. The reason im wanting to go to a standalone first is...

Yeah that makes alot more sense, didnt think of the odometer cable, cheers. Im a bit tentative about removing the dash but i guess theres nothing for it.

thanks for the reply, im almost certain its inside the cabin just becasue of the way it sounds, its a plastic type "click" sound.
