I was thinking of just adding some ARP bolts and thicker Cometic gaskets. Fuel in the UK isn't brilliant, but is at least consistent. I am thinking of fabricating a setup similar to the Jaguar XJR, but using a particularly lovely air/air intercooler I just won on Ebay for the princely sum of...

Did you look at Sierra Cosworth stuff? Or Vauxhall 2.0 turbo? This being predominantly an American site (yes, I know you're in Australia) there are other options that may well not have been explored. Forged pistons, whilst nice to have, are not needed for normal levels of boost, and an OE option...

I've been looking around for more affordable low compression pistons for the 1UZ-FE. I've noticed that the 87.5mm bore is quite a common size (which is good) but don't have a piston to hand to measure the height of. Does anyone have one and would be willing to measure the distance between the...

Just had a disaster with the daily driver lunching it's gearbox, neccesitating the purchase of another hack. This has set my plans back a few months. Bugger! On the plus side, I've discovered a friend has an XJR and will hopefully be willing to measure the intake manifolds for me. Given that...

Lol! I used to have a Delica- they don't go fast enough to make anyone scream! Be lovely with a V8 in, though. :)

ruishy1, is that all in or just for the manifold? Certainly sounds favourite at that price. zuffen, I have no intention of skimming the block or the heads other than for a head gasket failure. There is simply no need if you are simply changing the gasket because you want to rather than because...

Thanks for the reply, Ruishy1- most helpful :) I have to say, I would prefer to go S/C as there's nothing cooler than a blower through the bonnet. It's all down to cost, ultimately. There's a Jag specialist near me who also breaks them, so might be able to get one for reasonable money with my...

Wondered if you could update on how you're getting on with your car? This is on stock management, yes? I may have missed it, but how much boost are you running? The AFRs still good with those bigger injectors? We have emissions testing here at idle you see, hence my concern. I would...

Hi guys! I'm at the very start of my 1UZFE journey at the moment (looking for a donor car to supply engine and 'box), but I like to research things heavily before I start as it leads to less mistakes later on. FYI the engine will be keeping the stock auto box, will not need catalytic...
