Rue 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2015 Like Roy's famous words: "I should've just done 1J" Had a few disappointments with the 1uz. Spent money trying to resolve them with no success. Time to spend money on something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tuner4life 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 What kind of disappointments? Just power? Or actual failures? I kind of want to try to push some power with the UZ, but the minimal support always makes me question it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rue 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2015 Power is ehhhh... first motor felt quicker than the second for some reason but rod knocked after 3 weeks. Replacement 1uz has a slight oil consumption issue... not bad but enough that I don't like it. Rebuild cost is rediculous only to get back to stock power. Supercharged costs are also steep only to get to 310ish wheel... easily obtained by 1j. Â Cooling system did fine until high 90's in TX and I tried to run AC... then temps started to creep. Bought two Derale fans and made a new shroud... worked great but they pull too much amperage for my alternator to keep up. Â Fuck it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rue 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2015 Nope... picking up the motor last to try to at least get a first start up within the 30 day warranty. Pointless to pick up the motor and let it sit while I'm accumulating the rest of parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
