I would like to point out the MB 6.2 vs the LS7 that the LS7 actually makes quite a bit more then the 505hp it says it does. Many people have dynoed a totally stock C6 Z06 and got 485 hp at the wheels. This is about 550-570 hp at the crank which is quite a bit more then advertised. (On a side...

(just remember this is all in good sarcastic fun) But dude, you just posted a question that is quite funny about if a DOHC V8 exists on a 1UZ forum. The lexus V8s are DOHC (or at least the ones that started this forum 1UZFE, etc) The company that builds the Radical also makes their own DOHC...

I was considering going dry sump since the car is a road race car for the street, but the reality is that it costs so damn much. The new engine (LS1) was cheap considering I built it myslef but it is still close to 5k after the computer and all, the trans was 1500 so we are getting up there. A...

Hey guys. The 1UZ came out of my Saker SVS street car. They make awesome race and street cars. Go to www.sakermotorsport.com for more info and pics. It weighs about 2000 pounds with the V8 and moves quite well. I built a custom LS1 for the car that should make 550hp NA no problem so they...

Thanks guys but unfortunately I have gone the way of the Chevy LS1. I ended up selling my Lexus motor and I am building a custom LS1. Not to get off topic or start any engine wars but the LS1 is crazy powerful. I'm doing a forged bottom end on one motor and a stock bottom end on the other...

No the transaxle is NOT a subaru. Saker cars only use that tranny when they use the 4 cylinder WRX motor. The trans is/was a Renault UN1 transaxle (Same trans used on the Lotus Elise and Renault R25 and Delorean) Anyway regardless of that the trans is not for sale as stated above. Basically...

I'm located in South Florida if anyone is interested in a local pickup.

The pistons and rods are stock. The engine was built in New Zealand and came with my Saker SVS. I don't know much about it other then that it has hand ported heads and a nice cam. All of the accessories work perfectly and includes a dual alternator setup because I had two batteries in my car...

Ok, since no one has replied and I really need money now I have decided to sell my engine for $2000. I think that is an awesome deal considering the work that has gone into this engine and that everything is essentially new. The cams alone are around $1000. Email me at [email protected]...

Hey guys I'm selling my 1UZ with all the goodies. There is only about 750 miles on the engine since the rebuild. It comes with an awesome set of cams, ceramic coated and black heat wrapped custom made long tube headers, ported heads, AC compressor, starter, 2 alternators with custom brackets...

Do the power figures that Desktop Dyno give have a timing associated with them? Like is that 321hp figure at 36 degrees advance or something else? Does it take into account detonation or type of fuel or anything like that. I'm running 93 octane pump gas but I'm sure I can get 321hp on race...

I have no clue why the Centerline @ Full Lift line came out the way it did with the Red X picture box. Anyway, the specs for the Centerline @ Full Lift are Inlet = 108 AND the Exhaust = 112. Adam

MikeMan, I got 3 questions for you. 1) What would a stock engine with straight through race exhaust and headers make with just Kelford 207-D cams up to the 8000-9000 rpm range with and a raised compression ratio with the .027" head gaskets? 2) What would a completely stock engine with...

Yes, that would be great. Thanks. I"m curious to see if I can get a 9000rpm cam with the shim under bucket conversion, raise the compression ratio with the .027" head gasket and get about 450hp. Now I just need to wait and hear back from the cam people to see how much the shim under bucket...

What will the compression ratio be with stock internals but with the .027" head gasket? And how is that power figure of 443hp at 7500rpm computed? Is that with a certain cam that can make power up at the range or an open exhaust or is that just a rough guess with stock parts? I ask because I...

Anaema, Yeah I was thinking about the light weight components in the drive train but I don't think it is totally necessary as I'm not making an engine that will last 50k miles at 9000rpm. I'm sure when I drive it on the street it won't see anything past 4000rpm much, but when on the track it...

chrisman, Do you mean changing the cam timing by the way of qdjustable cam gears? And are you saying that you will need to do a cam timing change in order to get any power at 9000rpm with the stock cams or are you saying that you will need to do this cam timing change even if I got the...

Hey guys I woudl like some of your opinions/advice. I'm thinking about doing a somewhat cost effective build up of 1UZ. I want to buy a JDM spec 1uz as that is what I currently have in my race car (can be had for $1000 US after shipping). I was then thinking about doing a shim underbucket...

I don't think those cooling methods would be practical for a street car would they? I don't know to much about them but I was under the impression that they were more for race cars that don't live on the road much if at all. Adam

Well I just looked into the Thunderbord supercharger and intercooler setup. I didn't know they had a top outlet on the supercharger which then ran to the intercooler. I don't think that configuration would really work for me. I'm really trying to have the intercooler underneath the...
