Hey Sideshow, I see from your comments that you know a bit about 1UZFE VVT engines. I would like to use one of these in my build just because they are later technology and I gather they pump out close to 300hp in standard form.
I have just seen from a couple of posts though that these have security. But its fair to say I'm a techno phobic and that's about all I could understand.
What does it mean that there is security? Does it render the engine useless or is there a way around this. Over here it seems most of these engines come complete with trans and parts like ECU wiring loom and in some cases the airflow meter. (This is all a foreign language to me as I've never done anything with a computerised engine before). Is this enough? If not what else do I need to ensure I get?
Also I gather that these engines are fly by wire, can this be changed to manual cable or do I need to make sure I get the accelerator pedal set up too?
Any help you or anyone else can give a dumbarse like me will be much appreciated.
Cheers
