Hey guys,
Im new here and wanted to introduce myself here,
1) because i spend a lot of time in the engine bay so I'll be hanging around in this subforum a lot and
2) because I've got a couple questions about my 1UZ-FE and it's pending modifications![Smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png)
OK, I am in the process of building up a VIP/freeway runner LS400 build.
I have the heads off and my plan from the get-go was to make a super throaty, yet breathable 1UZ-FE. Something with a bunch of top-end.
These engines seem severely overbuilt for the HP they make so im assuming there is TONS of meat to be removed from these heads.
Compression on the engine is 10:1, I'd like to raise it to 11:1 and have these cams (http://www.camshaftshop.com/catalogue/536/884/toyota-207-b-camshaft/) fitted to the tops of the heads.
Those cams seem the best fit for an NA engine
So two 1UZ-FE heads:
-Ported (heavily)
-Shav.ed (to 11:1)
-3 angle valvejob (85lb springs)
-these cams: http://www.camshaftshop.com/catalogue/536/884/toyota-207-b-camshaft/
-Headers, full exhaust
-460cc injectors
-walboro fuel pump
Now, my previous experience is in old muscle car V8's, mainly smallblock MOPARs. And all the HP is in the heads on those suckers, so I'm assuming that an aggressive port and polish will yield some decent hp gains. Is this true with all the plans I have for the engine? Please point out any problems you see or anything I should add.
Thanks in advance
