this thread has been more than helpful, you guys are so informative! I am putting the 1uz into a 1970's corolla, building the motor then swapping it in. what transmission do you guys run with this kind of horsepower?
so for boost i'd need the following:
argo rods
ross pistons
balance the crank
port the head
get cams, dependant on flow of head
l19 head stud set
arp hardware for pistons
anything need to be done about the oil system?
also are there any single turbo applications that can make this horsepower?
if you have not bought the argo rods and pistons, save your money
here you go:
scat 4340 chev small journal rods , 5.7 long , arp 2000 bolts
get a piston made, with .927 wrist pin ( not .866 )
this will also give you alittle more height from pin to top of piston, and get the rings into a neater package.
get the crank ground to small journal big end size
reason:
rods will be cheaper.. cost me $450-$500 a set
Crank grind cost under $400
small block chev bearings are cheaper than Lexus ones
more sizes of bearings available to set up clearances
wrist pin is stronger
know of engines with 100's of passes with 45+ psi boost and 9500+ rpm with these simular combos.
good luck with your build
