308 VS 1UZFE

[bogged]

Earlier on in the build I ran it on a dyno and got 330rwkw on 9lbs that was with out the intercooler and a different manifold, I will get it back on the dyno once I'm happy with the current setup

I have wood

you guys raise some really good points here you know that, im really after alot of horse power.

I lost oil pressure in my motor and it really pissed me off its taken me the whole day to fix it, i was just over it and wanted to go for a 1uz because I have heard they are reliable engines and I belive it as toyota is pretty reliable. After having a argument with booflux he made me think as I was Holden all the way and he is Toyota all the way and maybe he had some good points about his motor, and he did, thats why I wanted to go for one of them.
As one of you guys stated though I already have the 308 in there and might as well just keep it, plus there cheaper when it comes to getting horse power.

Thanks anyway guys.

you did an oil change and pulled the oil pump to bits in the process you fool!and btw dad wants his vaseline back!for mum!

Depends on your horsepower?

Bolt some boost and a tune on a stock 1UZ and you'll get 400hp all day, reliable.

Bolt the same boost on a stock chev and you'll want kevlar gaurds, so your rods don't kill people in the next lane

Sorry Bryan but I have to disagree, an LS1 was always built to handle up to 370kW from factory.
400Hp is only 300kW which is in Aussie V8's now from factory no bolt on boost. All LS1's were detuned from original factory specs to allow the longevity of the motor. This was GM's way of saving future costs on the factory in development etc & to pass future emmision controls that were in the pipeline at that time.

I agree entirely, but the original question/debate I was reffering to was old school 308 vs 1UZ....

If I had the cash I would go a new crate LS without hesitation. But that's talking the better half of ten grand, vs a 15 year old motor that still comes in shipping containers for under a grand!

The LS motor are insane but I don't like the note they put out (just a personal thing), a mate has a new ute with a Difilipo ($7grands worth) full exhaust and it sounds a lot better than others I have heard but they just don't have that low deep rumble.
A bloke up the road from me has a VN with an LS2 with a T04 turbo hanging off it and it is stock internals, head gaskets etc and he has put down 460rwkw (11 lbs)& 9.40 1/4 mile times, I call that bang for your buck.

HG, how do you run the twin lines from the tank? Does it have twin outputs or are they tee'd at the valve?

Twin out puts
