1FZ-FE Power Increase

So this question has kind of been kicking around and I am curious what the thoughts of the masses are.

While turbos are all fine and good, way too much tuning involved, I think that in the end a good old 350 transplant is the way to go
Its just an opinion

A 350 would be outstanding! Alas I can't afford it, and the power out of my stock 80 is quite adequate for my needs. I would however like to know more about the timing advance I've heard of that produces a little more pep off the line AND slightly better mileage. If this is true it seems like a no brainer. But I've only ever seen one or two mentions of it here.

Advancing the timing is easy, stock is 3 degress IIRC
I believe that some have advanced it as far as 8 degrees but I think that is the high side
After that the motor will start to have pinging issues and such and it is not good for it
Do a search I believe there is a few threads on it

I cant afford a 350 either at this point

is worthwhile to peruse (advancing the timing is one of the links/subjects) - the old timers will know that site well from the 'early' days of 80's forums... pre-mud.

cheers,

Sorry screwed up and made a second post, I moved all your comments to the real thread.

Full tuneup, new pulleys, intake removal and cleaning, and send your injectors out for a rebuild.
