cyberdiamond,
You did state 500kw.
I simply stated my knowledge, which is not big in the ever changing American market.
For you last set of notes.
What are these spec's for and where did you get them from ?
Once again is this a valued comparison ?
I would be suprised if this a natuarally aspirated motor and 20 odd years old ?
I can not believe that a forum site with a world viewing stage and all those out their with the web ( world of knowledge ), no one can find a motor to compare it to.
I will give you a hint why.
Some of these first genertions are getting on 25yrs old and therefore proven themselves for failure problems.
Nothing in there time of design and release could compare with design, quality, reliability, power, potential or smoothness.
To this date nothing has been around long enough to prove worthy of comparing, yet still all you try to compare are current engines that are way bigger or bigger and forced inducted.
These motors are that good that second hand units with 1 hundred thoudsand plus km's, are coming over and getting forced inducted like the one in the Zoom mag issue #51, putting out 391kw @ the wheels on standard bottom end and original rings and bushes.
Non of these engines i have seen so far compared have been around long enough to compare nor are they even close in spec's to compare.
When one does it will be the motor the that followed !
The 1UZ will be remembered as one of the best designed V8's ever made and a first in it's class.
Regards
Stephen
