Marcus_1UZ HI mate, no it will only be running just under half of the maximum power it can produce, this engine will make 1000hp all day long, but to get that out of it i would have to take apart the engine and add pistons and rods, but on stock engine its good for about 480/500HP
Hi mate, yea it will only take about 8 or 9 psi with std ECU, but with that that should get me about 350BHP at the wheels
All in all just freaking awesome :biggrin:

Have you got the car sprayed yet?
Or is this been done after the rest of the work has been done?

well last night i was out there till 10pm fitting Greddy Turbo Timer, happy to say thats all working now, been trying to fit the Air/fuel metter, but not have much luck with, i will try today and see if i can get it working right. happy to say all the engine bay work is now done
the only thing i have to do is disconnect the intank FPR so the one in the engine bay can then take over also fit new relay for the fuel/pump in the boot, once thats done i can then refit the back seats, Theres is no room for battery in the engine bay any more, i have moved it to the boot, just waiting for the wires to get here and i can then fit that, im working on the front/bumper right now! and that should be done within the next day or 2 and thats all the work done then, all i will have to do then is paint the car Matt/Black or satin/black im not sure what one im going with yet...

Marcus_1UZ Hi mate, im useing the LS400 auto box for now, i think the box is good for about 300/350 hp, just so i can get it on the road quicker, but i will be puting a R154 5 speed box thats out of the Turbo supra, next year,
You may already know about this, I but I came across the fact that Thor do a kit for mating a 1UZ-FE to an R154, details here.
