copperhead Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 1UZFE Lexus 4.0 Liter V8 The engine is only around $500, but to do the complete swap would be pricey, I've researched this idea quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 what kind of support to yo uhave in your garage roof? I have a ratchet thing for pullin motors but it hangs from a beam. or you could just rent a engine hoister from a place like murrays tool rental they used to rent them 231-3657 I might be able to stop by sunday depends on how long it takes the shadow the ventilate the block. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With low compression pistons, a bigass turbo, good fuel and ignition 600 RWHP is very attainable. The 1UZFE comes in the LS400, the SC400, and something else, can't remember, but the one in the SC400 is the only one with the correct oil pan to clear the crossmember. The bellhousing to mate up to the R154 tranny has to be ordered from New Zealand. I still haven't figured out how to set up the electrical system and fuel management Oh, and $500 is for a used motor. Which is fine, because these motors last ~400k miles if left stock and reasonably maintaned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1UZ is FAR more reliable than a 7M. It's not just as easy as splicing the harness. You are going from a 6 cylinder to an 8. The ECU that is designed for the 1UZ is a PITA to deal with, which is why I think it would be better to go entirely with an aftermarket engime management system, like the Megasquirt. It's very possible to get all of the engine driven accesories, including A/C, to work. You would use all of the accessories that come with the new motor, and just connect them to where they need to go on the car. For more info, check out these sights: http://www.lextreme.com/ http://v8supra.com/ Unfortuanately, the only people that are really messing with these motors seem to be in New Zealand or Australia, so it's a bit difficult to get parts. However, I think that more and more people are starting to realize the potential of these motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
