    PLEASE tell me this is normal...

    Removed the two crossover coolant pipes that go between the cylinder heads (water inlet housing attaches to the front one), and found what appears to be severe pitting/corrosion on all four passageways. Please tell me this may be part of the casting, or at least if there is a way to properly...

    Need Engine Info

    My 1UZ swap from a 92 LS400 into an 86 Cressida is coming along really well for a first timer. The LS400 I purchased for $500 had a salvage title, but the engine ran beautifully. It wasn't until I decided to gut the entire car and chop it up that I found out the chassis was very nearly...

    FIPG Help

    I've searched around to find varying information on the appropriate FIPG material to use on a first series 1UZ (92 LS400). I want to use Toyota brand stuff or Permatex. Which Toyota brand FIPG do I use (103? 102?) for the parts contacting oil, and which Toyota brand FIPG do I use for parts that...

    Radiator Question

    For a MKIV Supra Radiator, Megan Racing 3-row vs. Mishimoto? Discuss. This will be for a 1UZ in an 86 Cressida. Will see plenty of spirited driving, and eventually an M90 or M112. This will be my first drift rig too. Thanks for your advice! EDIT: Also, please let me know where to buy the Megan...

The engine along with the rest of the car cosmetically looks like total crap. Any aluminum exposed on the engine is tarnished and oxidized, and all bolts and...

    1uzfeswapkit.com Prices???

    I'm confused... Has anyone noticed this vendor's prices just skyrocketed in the last couple of days? Just the W58 kit went up $180! I was also emailing them about clutch selection, and they offered a very nice deal for an ACT unit. I couldn't figure out how to select the clutch at the price...

    Wanted W58/Compatible Shifter and Crown ECU

    Looking for two things for my W58-1UZ X73 conversion this summer: 1) I'm looking for an OEM shifter for a MKIII non-turbo W58 transmission. It will go into an X7 Cressida. Anything that is compatible (is R154?) and OEM I will consider. S3 shifter is a bit expensive and overkill for me right...
