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...

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...

Hey guys I need your help. I was ta the dyno shop today getting the car tuned. It was running well for about 2.5 hours and then it started making a tapping sound from the left/drivers side bank. It was a metalic sound and was pretty fast. It didn't do it at all rpms and didn't do it until it...

Hey guys, I’m looking at getting my car tuned professionally and the tuner asked me to find out one piece of info I was hoping you could help me out with. He wants to know what the timing advance is at max power. The engine is pretty much stock except for slightly ported heads...

Hey guys. I really need your help. I just bought a LINK v5 ecu and I can't seem to get my car started. I heard that the default map should be able to get the car running but that doesn't seem to be the case with me. So if anyone out there has a map for their Link ecu that works it woudl be...

Hey guys got a question for you. My engine has had trouble starting lately (seems to be flooded ro somethihng like that). I recently re-did the entire fuel system and have much stronger pumps now. The fuel regulator, rails, and injectors are all stock. The engine was running very rich before...

Here is a question for you guys. It is not necessarily related to any specific Lexus model but since my race car has a 1UZ I figured I would ask it here. What is the proper design for a vented or non-vented gas tank? Like how much pressure or vacuum should be present? Should it be designed kind...

Ok, Does anyone know of a place that will build a high performance 1UZ for me? Or does anyone with experience want to take on this challenge for me? I’m looking at buying a 500hp (475-550hp is my range) and wanted to know if anyone knew where I could get such an item. Toysport.com seems to...

I was talking with Tony Milla at 1uzquadcam.co.nz about his 8 throttle body setup for the 1UZ. He said the fuel rails can be used but must be reversed and that the lugs need to be re-welded for this to fit. Probably not to bad but definitely not a bolt on item. He also said that a central...

I have a question for you guys. To put it plainly, why are Overhead cams better then push rods. I'm sure they are better but exactly why is that the case. I mean everyone knocks the Chevy V8 for being old school technology because of the pushrods but then again how long ago were over head...

Hey, I have a question concerning cam timing. I have an engine with a modified cam. After I received the engine the engine builder said that more power can be gotten if a degree cam timing change was made. He gave me a spec sheet of what I need to set it to in order to get the power...

Hey, My engine is leaking oil from somewhere at the top front, right side of the engine. When I take the black plastic cover for the cam timing belt off there is oil inside there. It is NOT on the belt, gear holding the belt, or distributor but it is further back closer to teh valve covers. I...

OK, I am having a problem with my 1UZ-FE in my Saker SVS and I can't figure out what it is. Lets see if you guys can help me figure it out. My car seems to "run out of gas" after driving it for a while. I trailered my car to the drag strip with a full tank of gas. I drove it out to tech...

I figured since this kit was started based on the Saker SVS (or older SV1 model) I thought you guys would enjoy this. I have the first and only road car in the US. There are only about 19 road cars in the world. (www.adamstyles.com/car.htm) I prefer not to call it a kit car as it does use a...

If you turbo the 1UZ-FE and get about 500hp at the crank (about 8psi with my current engine) I would obviously have to get larger injectors 440-460cc (that should support about 550hp) and I would have to get a better fuel pump to handle the increased fuel loads. Is there anything else I need...

hey guys I have a question for you. i have been talking about this with several people and I get different answers so I would like to try to better understand what sort gains to expect from supercharghing or turbocharging. Here is the scenario. (All horsepower figures are at the crank) I...

Hey, I have a crazy car that I purchased. I believe there are some links to it on your site. The Saker SVS GT. (www.sakercars.com www.sakermotorsport.com and www.sakermotorsports.com) I have the first street car in America and I had it made with a 400hp N/A 1UZFE V8 engine. I had custom...
