A 1UZ? Is thatbthe same as the 1JZ?

[Dboz]

no

its a Lexus LS400 engine

v8

i know of some guys who put it their MK4 supras

in a way its superior over the 2jz.. since a 1UZ is an overbuilt engine just like a 2jz.. it was used in the le mans MR2 car.. its cheap to find.. they go for anywhere 300-1000$.. i have a MR2 and my dream was to put a 1UZ in there but its way too much work.. so im putting in a 5vz-fe which handles boost VERY well.. its a wonderful engine

and now the the supras are using 3UZ.. but the 1UZ is superior to the 3UZ for boost purposes

it was voted one of the top ten engines of the year twice

Now I dont want to sound like an a$$, but I do know for a fact that usual v style motors are very complicated due to the balancing issue. When pushing over 550 hp on a v style motor the balancing becomes an issue and then renders thay setup useless unless you do forged goodies and blueprinting.

Also another thing to mention is the VQ 35 or the VK45 motors which happen to be V6 and V8 are both having the same issues. I can prove this to you cause I have a couple buddies that have these cars and motors. They should have kept the RB series instead of changing them to the V6 and V8.

Also do you have a link for this motor swap? I would love to see it. Thanks

a 60 degree twin blancer V6 is just as balanced as a I6

here's alot of info on the 1uz-fe

www.1uzfe.com

no offense to alot of supra guys with 2jz's.. but IMO a 1uz-fe is superior.. espacilly with the costs in voloved.. you can buy a 1uz-fe and still have like 4000$ extra to play around with over buying a 2jz used..

Maybe I am not looking in the right spot but your link didnt provide any balance specs whatsoever. Look, you can preach to me all you want about the similarities of balancing a v style to a inline style motor the fact still remains the inlins 6 has been able to put out more power more safely stock than the v style motors. For example, look at the 350z or even the gs 35 which are the same motor which is a vq35. Now you cant tell me for stock block to stock block that the vq35 is a better motor.

The 2jz stock can put out more than 800to the wheels without any problems. You can barely get a stock vq35 to hit 550 without having internal problems. If you dont beleive me I have the dsport mag and people who own the car to prove it. We can talk all day about these matters but what its going to come down to is what really works and what reality says to us.

I can show you a handful of supras that have reached the benchmark of 800rwhp on stock bottom ends. O the other hand, it would literaly be a challenge for me to find 1 350z or g35 or any other v6 for that matter that has reached that very same mark and works great on the stock bottom end.

well you stated that a v6 or any v shaped motor is not gonna produce power .. that is the impression im getting from your statements..

Really? Because thei is what I said. Where do you get that from this down here? I would appreicate t if you didnt putwords in my mouth. Thank you

well a 2jz is out of the question for my project.. there is NO way im gonna get that engine in the MR2.. without some serious frame and body modifications..

Why dont you just build your motor up instead of swapping?

well... it was a "heated" discussion but not a total disaster hence i left it to roll on


but mind you... i will use a ban stick if ppl get too naughty

OK we will play nice.

As far as any engine is concerned, as long as you have $, it can be made fast and dependable, that is of course, unless, it is my wifes kia(dont laugh).

Thats the key right there.

you just stated here that V style motors are very complicated..

and that is NOT the issue.. its just that the 2jz COMES with a built block.. i dont need to BLUEPRINT a 5vz-fe to get massive power out of it.. or a 1UZ-FE .. its done with just putting in forged goodies.. that HAS NOTHING to do with the style of motor.. its just wat was used on the buttom END
