TurboShed Part 33 - Can we do a 1000hp 1UZ Build for £1000!?! Lets find out!

In this episode we see if we can build a complete 1UZ engine including injectors that will take 1000hp, for less than £1000. We hear all sorts of crazy figures thrown around for people building low compression 1UZ engines to take this power, so we decided to see how we can do this on a seriously low budget. See how we get on with a full bare block rebuild including measuring, calculating and correcting compression ratio.

Note March 2020 - We took this actual engine to the dyno for the first time, see the results here:

Well over 1000Nm torque which bodes well for getting 1000hp, we need more flow though, most likely cams, exhaust log manifolds or dump pipe are choking it off. The engine and injectors worked fine though :-) One step at a time.....
