Is that the eBay kit from Thailand?

Good call on the 1UZ, you will not regret it. Have you looked into taking the heads off yet... jeeze, its complicated.

Have you checked your drive train? Driveshaft, carrier bearing, u-joints, rear, wheel bearings, rear brakes, etc...

I use the Innovate LC-1, its a great set up. Simple instructions and installation, I wouldnt bother with it unless you get the guage combo for the extra little money you get a easy to read guage.

Is that a Vortec?

Yea, cleaning the intake will show more gains the dirtier the intake is at the start. A cleanup with a dremel tool of the runners will help too!

Ok then, If I were you, I'd forget modifying the GE as is and build out a nice turbo set up for your self. Save money and time before hand by not modifying the GE now, then you have that to put towards your turbo build. Like the post above, ITBs or a custom intake would not be a bad thing to...

If your doing a standalone ECU and have some fab skills then do a custom intake or piece together individual throttle bodies. That with cams will do a lot for you.

Holy rice rocket Batman!!! Seriously, if you want "cheap horses" do a cat back or header back exhaust, one muffler and resonator at 2.5" and a real cold air intake. Use cheap eBay parts if you want, but keep in mind what I suggested before, tune up and a good intake cleaning, that will help a lot.

Check how dirty the intake manifold is (check behind the throttle body) if there is a lot of build up then clean them throughly, and to do that you will need to pull the entire manifold from head to tb off. If there is a ton of build up then cleaning them will help a lot. If you can't have your...

The LS engines are the best bang for your buck.

This is what I can think of off hand: 1UZ-FE engine Trans adapter plate 1UZ-FE bell housing Flywheel (consider the complete kit 4U2QUK offers) Swap mounts (consider the ones 4U2QUK offers) Bolts for the trans adapter plate Adapters for the power steering A smaller brake booster (I use...

Yea, I'm having some issues with the rack on my car (remember I have a manual rack too) when trying to turn sitting still. Need to have a brace or flange welded onto it to keep away lateral movement.

For some reason that first photo was a turn off for me... Can't place what it is but it just doesn't look right. But the last photo speaks to me. I really like the rear bumper and quarters. How does the steering feel with the wider tires?

Yes, that port is under pressure from the oil pump.

When I was working on the car last I grabbed the rear CV shafts and they had what appeared to be axial play. I have had a thunk/ clunk in the rear of my car for a while, I figured this must be it. So I ordered a set of reman units, when I actually pulled the old CV shafts they seemed ok out of...

When I was fixing a few friends 7M-GTE cars the same thing happend, a ton of oil came out of it only after running for a few seconds. It was the turbo drain, got a new gasket and some black rtv and fixed it. It was a major PitA to work on... After doing that on two different cars, I plan on...

Ok, so here is an update. Test fitted the adapter plate, marked the front bearing retainer on the transmission, and cut the bearing slide. Then tapped the roll pin out and swapped in the new -4 adapter. Fits perfect now. Also notched out the bell housing for the new lines. Mounted...

Thanks bud! No worries man, I got it done and its working good! I appreciate your quick response.

So I started the R154 swap today. Got the W58 out, clutch, and flywheel off too. And started setting up the R154 with the adapter plate. W58 out. This clutch has been through a lot, and still has a lot of life left in it... closing in on 30k mile on it. No wonder I heard an exhaust...
