    Fuel Economy estimate?

    So given my driving generally is half city half highway driving I could expect around the 19-24mpg mark at a guess? The current engine only annoys me cause its sucking fuel and gutless at the same time ;) Must be a vaccum leak somewhere.

    Fuel Economy estimate?

    Hi, I currently have a 1992 525i BMW with a 2.5L engine, getting a rather low 15MPG. Most of this fuel seems to be getting sucked up in accelerating, getting the car actually moving and all the stuff low down. What do you think I could expect with a 1UZFE? Weight seems similar to the soarer...

    1UZ into E34 5 series BMW

    The BMW V8 is wider than the Lexus because of the heads, so she'll definately fit between the towers, I'm curious if the exhaust manifolds are going to fit in there or not, I'm imagining custom ones would have to be made?

    1UZ into E34 5 series BMW

    Bmw E36 1uz?

    Do you think a blown 1UZ would hold its own against say a HSV Clubsport? (Current generation). I'd probably have weight on my side ;) If the 1UZ really is that solid stock, does anyone know what sort of power I could get and how reliable it would be @20psi with a TS supercharger? Saying that...

    Bmw E36 1uz?

    That sounds quite appealing, any idea what 12-13psi would be @ the wheels? Edit - Does anyone know contact details for people who have done the swap? I know some exist in Aussie already :)

    Bmw E36 1uz?

    Hi, I'm seriously considering doing this sort of swap, but what I'm curious is how far can you push the 1UZ with a supercharger before you have to open it up for new internals? I know Bullet have done a S/C E36 1UZ swap so atleast it fits but what realistic goals can I get out of this for...
