I think they meant 1UZFTE - that'd be Jamie's twin turbo Lexus V8.

Yeah, Jamie's twin turbo 1UZ-FE.
That power was made with only 7psi too....

Apparently 1UZ-FE heads are fairly similar to 3S-GE heads... so with a bit of work you could probably make a 1UZ-GE. Mind you, the standard heads are capable of pretty huge power so there's probably not much point!

I remember reading an article someone wrote when they took the heads off their 1UZFE. Something about the setup being akin to a 13000rpm motorbike...which can ONLY be a good thing

When I'm tuning, thats gonna be one of the questions put to my electrician "how high can I put the rev limiter" apparently if its non turbo it'll rev up to maybe 8,000. but with a turbo's help it should be able to get 9, maybe 10k. would be BS on a V8.
I wanna see the digital guage on my car go off the scale!

re: 3age heads on a 1uzfe
i have considered this point, when i was working at holden (ltd)
i had a great idea to make a new V8 for their bommadores. here was my plan:
cast a new block, use existing family 2 parts (thats old vectra, ,astra etc four cylinder motors) like heads, pistons etc.
i figured you would end up with around 200 kw, based on the opel 2.2 litre motor, but then i thoguht of this.
whatt he hell are you going to do with the intake/exhaust? on the four, it goes in one side, comes out the other, so it compicates matters. on pushrod engines they (do on the cleveland 351 at least, and all the others i would think) use the same head on either bank, twincam egines would have to use two seperate castings, or run a countershaft and put one head on backwards, bit too much screwing around.
leads me to believe that a 1uzge would be hard to do, otherwise somerevvy toyota man would have one.

The article referred to is on Pete Scott's site (where he had removed the exhaust cams to have them "re-shaped" by Ivan Tighe (sic).
Yes, the 1UZ is a fairly decent lump...I'll be finding out the "hard" way in a day or two, as mine is almost ready to drive

But the 1UZ-FE is twin cam... Just a narrow (economical) angle twin cam instead of the wider angle in the G heads.

Yeah.... its the same deal as the 3sge compared to 3sfe
the 3sfe is twin cam just a narrower design which is meant to be more economical.

Norbie, the 1UZFE heads are more like a 3SFE head, not a 3SGE head. The ports are a little better though, and they use 31mm diameter alloy shim-over cam buckets.

Sure thing, I can see that, can't deny that it took them too bloody long but I'd say it came down to how piss-small Ford Australia is in the grand scheme of things and how stuck on the old favorites the Yanks are...
Read the new MOTOR magazine, I'm giving them credit, even for just the shit they had to do to get it at all

I might check it out
I can imagine it out.
FordAus: "We need a better engine!.. our 5.0L V8 produces less power than a V6 with a little over half the capacity!"
FordUS: "How bout we just increase the bore and stroke a bit more.. who needs those overhead cam thigys anyway... gee if harly davison still use pushrods then they must be the best"
Its my understanding that the new V8 has been around for quite some time... FordAus had an agreement to use up all the 5.0 blocks or something.

Yeah, and the fact they had to make the 5.4l quad-cam using a combination of the heads from the 4.6l Mustang engine and the 5.4l bottom-end...
