Each weld shrinks the total length of the piping by about 1mm, even when there’s zero gap. That’s the rough rule we go off at work when doing piping for the dairy industry- when triclovers and RJTs don’t seal anymore it’s usually due to that shrinkage. If the fit up isn’t perfect it’ll be more. That gives you your 5-7mm.

Hi Fellas, I have two 3UZ engines in the shed (2001 and 2005 vintage) and I just measured to verify the injectors from both engines and they are like yours @ around 45mm. All the 3UZs and the late 1UZ with VVTi (1997+) use the same 'pink' injectors which are rated @ 275cc/min.

@marcop3517 3 жыл бұрын
@@speedacademydave Down under. One engine is an AU delivered LS430 (2001) and the other engine is a JDM Celsior (2005) engine that I imported myself. I checked online earlier (I use www.japan-parts.eu/ for my part numbers) and the part numbers for all Toyota/Lexus markets are all the same for all the 3UZ and 1UZ vvti engines. Toyota part catalogues have 4 markets - US, JP, EU and GR (GR = General and includes Australia and other small markets). I wonder if the maker used a first gen 1UZ injector?
@speedacademydave 3 жыл бұрын
@@marcop3517 I bet you're right, probably initially designed for the early 1UZ injectors since those engines have the big boy rods and would have been the logical starting point for supercharging. Travis at Elate Mfg has been amazing to work with, though, he's solved every problem we've come up against and in the process we're all learning how to fit up a M112 to the stock fuel system on a 3UZ.
@elatemfg 3 жыл бұрын
We got to the bottom of it, we had a discrepancy in our aftermarket upper injectors seals which I now believe were supplied to us incorrectly, this meant that the original rail spacers we designed were around 3mm too tall resulting in the injectors not seating correctly . We’ve now made shorter spacers and test fitted them with known OEM injectors seals off another engine, everything seats perfectly now so glad to say this is sorted going forward!

My grandfather was a life-long mechanic in Michigan. Nothing seems to rust like exhaust hardware, and for exhaust work he'd take a chisel under the car, and simply split all the nuts to remove them. I've noticed those thin-wall exhaust fasteners on cars over the years, and I believe they are used because they are easier to split like that.
