V-Hate!!! 1uz-fe v8 / z33 6 speed s14 build

[rps13drift]

I picked up my s14 about 2 years ago after parting out my s13 project. I had to fix a few bugs with the car from the previous owner and I also immediately added suspension/lsd/aero/wheels/etc.. to get it on the track. I got to drift the car a few times before the sr20 died from bearing failure.

some old pics before the swap

First day with the s14

Bearings
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/80966671.jpg

After the sr20 died I did some research on a new power plant for the car. I wanted something alittle different than every one else but I also wanted it to be reliable so I wasnt always breaking down at the track. I finally decided on a 1uz-fe 4.0 DOHC v8 from the lexus ls400/sc400.
On paper the 1uz is awesome! It won tons of awards for reliability and its design and it also has racing heritage with toyota in Indy racing and TRD's baja trucks ran them in the early-mid 90's. Its all aluminum 90 Deg V8 has 250HP 260TQ stock, makes power between 1000 RPM and 7000 RPM and revs to 9000 RPM. 6 bolt forged mains, forged crank, forged sintered rods, cast hyperutenic pistons and balanced within 5 grams all from the factory etc...
Now for the CONS about the engine lol. The 1uz never had a manual transmission behind it in a production car. So adapating to a manual is a must. There is also pretty much no aftermarket for this motor in the USA yet so modding the 1uz is NOT a bolt on affair.

I picked up a 92 ls400 front sump motor for $400 from the J-yard with wiring/ecu/etc..
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/d7f12a96.jpg

I was also able to score a 6 speed trans from a Z33 for $350
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/c8c4c66c.jpg

Now its time to make this toyota v8 have a nissan trans. I picked up a z33 trans adapter plate from swap1uz.com
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/aa8fadb0.jpg
I also got a flywheel designed for the 1uz swap from lextreme.com You could re-drill a 3sgte mr2 turbo flywheel to work but after hearing a few horror stories i decided to just get the one made for the 1uz. Also a pilot bearing adapter was needed from swap1uz.com and flywheel hardware was ARP for an ae86/4age
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/5eb30fca.jpg
Also starter bolts need to be trimmed down to clear adapter plate
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/b6047288.jpg
Next up was the clutch set up. For this I chose a ACT 6 puck disc designed for the sr20det. The disc fits the MR2 style flywheel perfect and will have the correct spline count needed for the nissan trans. For the pressure plate it is a ACT Heavy duty for a 3sgte mr2 turbo.
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/0fcb2501.jpg
Now for the shitty part. lol To compensate for the trans adapter plate you will need to remove the trans bell housing and have it machined down the thickness of the adapter plate(5/8) so the trans imput shaft mates perfectly.

after machining
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/8ee001d2.jpg
Also 1/2 inch needed to be added to the throw out bearing

Cleaned up the wiring harness. Removed all unused sensors from the aut trans traction control
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/fe21d031.jpg

Picked up some headers from a 2uz-fe 4.7 L tundra. All 1/2/3uz exhaust ports and bolt paterns are the same.
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/ac825b1f.jpg
test fit in my homies s14
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/6cca69c5.jpg

Now making them fit the car. The passenger side fits great once you cut off the bottom flange. The drivers side is a different story. The 240sx steering shaft will hit right into the start of the 4th exhaust runner. I had to completely redo the drivers side header to make it fit correctly. dont mind my newb welding

Motor is in!
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/75bae0f3.jpg

Now that the motor was in I had to shorten and modify the Z trans shifter for it went way past the s14 shifter hole
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/819bfdc9.jpg
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/f0c25b6a.jpg
even after 4iches of shifter was removed it was still allitle to long. Oh well!
http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/85231472.jpg

[rps13drift]

Installed POS ebay short shifter and also installed a shaftmasters driveshaft meant for a vq35de swap with my length measurement.

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/f44e9942.jpg

Freshened up the valve covers and intake manifold

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/1f0eb0eb.jpg

Also started installing new NGK plug wires

And here is where I am currently with the car. All thats needed to start the motor is make a Y-pipe/intake and also relocate the battery to the trunk.

[funnyscreenname]

definitely a unique engine choice. looks like you've made great progress. i'm in for updates.

[tdaffern]

This is awesome. What's your horse power goal? Looking forward to updates.

[nu_born]

That powerplant looks good in that engine bay...definitely seems like one of the more involved S-chassis swaps I've seen. It's looking pretty damn sweet so far though!

[psychos13]

Nice Kleen build subscribed

[Tle1993]

nice build! cant wait to hear this thing run

[Breakbeat93]

Pretty unique motor choice. Looks pretty dope. I bought that old aero from you a couple years ago...still sitting in my parents basement lol.

[Redsunz916]

SUBSCRIBED!!

Just picked up my 1uz swap for my mx83... Gonna be using a mk3 w58.. going to get xcessive adapter and hydro bearing and debating whether I want a modified 3sgte flywheel or Thailand or quantum... What do u guys recomend...

[pokey_]

That is looking great. I was looking at the same engine for a different swap as well....

[rps13drift]

Thanks for all the kind words! I appreciate it! My power goals with this motor set up is to eventually hit 400rwhp using a vortech V2 supercharger we have laying around and low boost 5-7psi. For now I just want to get it running and driving N/A for a bit and work all the bugs out before rushing to boost it. As for the swap being very (involved) it is only because of my trans choice. If you were to use a ka24/sr20/r154/w58 it wouldnt be as bad. Most of the fabrication and hard stuff was z33 trans related. lol

Go with this one. Its the same one im using and fits awesome. A few people I know have had problems with starter failures due to using a modified mr2 flywheel.

Sick build dude. I hope everything goes as planned

[S14Serge]

Loving all that's going with this build!

So I assume with this one it needs a 3sgte pressure plate and clutch disc? That's a Damn good deal..

[Redsunz916]

Btw 6 speed is gona be badass .. I'm thinking about doing what your doing to my s14 after the cressida is done.maybe...

[Redsunz916]

Damn and there complete kit is only 750... Thanks for the link I'm buying my kit from them

[rps13drift]

Some updates... After trying to start the car for the first time last weekend I realized that I wasnt getting any spark. After going through all the wiring/sensors/coils/ignitors/etc.. for a few days with the multimeter I narrowed it down to the ecu. I Gave my buddies ecu a try and boom! She was sparking! lol

first start
oh5anSQw0Ks?hd

Now after a weeks delay from the ecu the rest of the car can finally come together.
More updates to come!

Few more pics

Love this build....!!!!! Keep up the good work. Next time im in NJ i gotta see this thing in person :)

[bc.]

I was hoping you were gonna have better wheels to match the better engine, but damn that is a big improvement, lol.

[ixfxi]

damn man.... what the fuck is going on in this thread. some serious craziness. weird, but i like it.

once again... this thread is "so east coast"

[MemphisSlideways]

Looking good. I'm in the process of putting one of these in my s13

[rps13drift]

Some updates on the build. After I got the car running I went to finish the exhaust system and make a Y-pipe to connect to a s14 exhaust.

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd107/rps13drift/F4DCE9CC-6BE2-4D25-8A87-F6E2FE6B6E64-5315-000005D572313758.jpg


In the process of making the Y-pipe under the car I bumped my fuel lines and from age and corrosion they literally just crumbled apart causing a major fuel leak. I decided to replace the factory 5/16 fuel line with some stainless braided -6AN from the pump to the fuel rail and also the return so I dont have to worry about old lines leaking and also better re-routing under the car to keep it from exhaust heat.

Jegs!

[EvilRB]

Great build can't wait to see more!

[spooled240]

very cool! now you basically have 2 sr20's in your engine bay lol (4.0L, 8 cyl)

[blueshark123]

The way the y pipe is made i think its gonna restrict the exhaust flow quite a bit i know on ls motors it would.

[mishimoto]

Awesome build so far! :bigok:

[boostedk]

love this builddddd

[rps13drift]

Some updates....

I finished installing the new fuel lines and also installed the Y-pipe.

After the exhaust and fuel system was installed the car didnt want to start anymore because of a random no spark issue. Turned out that the Crank angle sensor took a crap. Replaced the sensor and she is finally running good

I last minute decided to take it to the last drift event at Clubloose before she had to sit all winter. I Had tons of non motor related problems with the car but still had some fun. Motor runs great and feels really snappy and responsive! Sounds neat also

More mods and updates to come!

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

how do you like the power and torque. I'm debating doing this swap versus doing a ford 5.0 and if you don't mind about how much did the swap cost you?
. thanks

[chaos240sx]

This thing is bananas!!!!

[project-D180]

niice swap bro

[rps13drift]

how do you like the power and torque. I'm debating doing this swap versus doing a ford 5.0 and if you don't mind about how much did the swap cost you?
. thanks

The power and torque is nice! Definetly doesn't feel like a domestic v8 though. Power band is smooth and responsive / fast reving. More similar to a vq35de if i had to compare it to something. Just snappier from down low and v8 sounds lol Swap also didn't cost to much. Motors are still fairly cheap ( under $500) Cost really all depends on what trans you plan on doing.

[future]

This thread is turning me towards selling my lsX swap kit and doing this

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

awesome. yea I'm going to use a ka trans and daily the car so I think it's a perfect set up. plus it does sound gnarly lol nascar status.

yea I think this is the cheapest of v8 swaps. compared to lsx 5.0 and vh45de

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

I wanted to ask you a few ?s about the swap

what radiator did you use? what hoses stuff like that.

[SLiDe_WaYz]

This is super unique. I dig this. How's the power delivery? Is it like somewhat instant? Or brought on as you get into the high rpms?

[pinkarrowsnow]

https://vimeo.com/49406394

here you go nerds raw footage in my car at clubloose freedom moves power band is there from low to high rpms. same exact setup in the car in this thread.

[rps13drift]

Thanks for the kind words! Radiator is an sr20 for what ever chassis you have and rad hoses are ls400 just trimmed down a little. Power delivery is some what instant! At low speeds and in a lower gear if I slam the gas peddle it will light them up but it definitely has more mid-high end power than instant crazy down low tourqe like an LS1 or other large displacement v8's.

[rps13drift]

https://vimeo.com/49406394

here you go nerds raw footage in my car at clubloose freedom moves power band is there from low to high rpms. same exact setup in the car in this thread.

Perfect example! Thanks Mikey!!!!! here is another in car run I took also of pinkarrowsnow 1uz s13 from freedom move. Thing shreds!

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

damm that thing is gnarly I'm defiantly going with this swap. plus its In my price range

[future]

How does the six speed feel on the 1uz? Too long? Too short?

[turtle m3th]

I'd also like to know how the 6 speed stacks up on the 1uz. And can you post pics of the shiter placement? I'm in the middle of this swap myself, but in an fc. Glad to see other folks seeing the potential of the 1uz!!!

[thedr1ftkid]

Do you have a build thread too? I happen to have an fc that needs a 1uz as well

[pinkarrowsnow]

the trans is the best part the gears are awesome for drifting enter 4th gear on everything it rocks.

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

do I have to smooth down the ka/sr trans like the vq trans?

[project_silvia]

Awesome build bro.. Can't wait to see video of this sliding

[repda916]

question time:
Wiring- did you splice the 1uz harnes into the body harness at the brown plug?
Would it be easier to get the haltech?
Diagrams of anything?
blah blah blah more info on wiring! thats the only thing i need.

[pinkarrowsnow]

google it bro i have 4 wires spliced in from my ecu to my chassis harness but I have a painless chassis harness with like 10 wires in my whole car. Wiring was super simple on it.

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

with the painless chassis harness do you still have everything operation like to be able to drive it in the streets. lights blinkers windshield wipers brakes and whatnot? I'm thinking of simplifying my car..

[rps13drift]

Depends on how you wire the chassis harness. You can keep all those options you mentioned if you wire them in. lol

[OBEEWON]

Good work Mikey!

I was sad I didn't make it to Freedom Moves. I want a ride in this jam.

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

ah ok got you. do you have the part number to the arp ae86 flywheel bolts? and I'm not sure if I asked you but do you know if the bellhousing on the Sr/ka trans need to machined down like the vq trans? thanks a lot for all the replys man.

[s14unimog]

damn man, sounds gnarly; cool build.

[Darren]

Love it!, and what a value!

Can't get over that sound!

[rps13drift]

Good work Mikey!

I was sad I didn't make it to Freedom Moves. I want a ride in this jam.


Thanks OBEE! next event we are at you are more than welcome to take her for a spin!

@ OLDSCHOOLRICER Part# for ARP 4age flywheel bolts = 203-2802
As for the SR/KA bellhousing being machined I dont think it is needed but you may want to double check that.

[OLDSCHOOLRICER]

thanks a lot for the info bro.

[IIIXziuR]

Sweet work, Mike Dawg.
This is definitely my favorite vehicle you have ever put together!

..love the dragger wing on it too!

Oh my lord!!!! This is completely insane. I don't know where to start about how jaw dropped I am. I sold my s14 and picked up a Ls400 but this is best of both worlds. I would love to see this in person.

Looks like you did all the work yourself. I wish I had the resources and skill level to do what you did.

Would you sell it?

[PG BOOSTED]

Love the interior. all you need to do is sand and paint the engine bay and you can say your finished if you want. But this one badass car you have on your hands bro.

Thanks for the motivation.

How do you like driving it compared to the Sr?

[shoguner]

Starting on my 1uz build soon! So excited!
How's drifting with power band of the 1uz and the 6 speed. I'm doing this exact set up!

[iveexcaped3]

can you get the hood all the way down or does it hit on the intake and fuel lines?
also what did you do for motor mounts?

Driving and drifting on this set up is sweet! Look on page 2 of this thread for some videos to give you an idea of what the powerband is like.

On my particular swap I cant get the hood to go all the way down because it hits the intake manifold. My motor also sits alittle high on purpose because of how low the car is and my concerns for hitting oil pan when i made them.

Hey brother, what did you end up doing about powersteering? Do the s14 lines, bolt right up?

[Extreme Dimensions]

Nice swap and build!

[rps13drift]

Hey brother, what did you end up doing about powersteering? Do the s14 lines, bolt right up?

The PS lines did not bolt right up unfortunetly. lol. Pump and resevoir are on opposite side. I endedd up making the PS lines from Aeroquip FC300 hose and -AN fittings. Heres what I used. (240sx Rack pressure) POWER STEERING BOX FITTING, AN6 TO 14MM X 1.5 I.F. MALE(Toyota Pump pressure) AN6 to 5/8" or 16mm-1.5 O-Ring(Hose fittings) Aeroquip 90 Degree End AN Fittings For FC300 High Pressure Hose -6AN)

Curious, what did you do about the neutral safety switch? Did you need to connect it at all?

here you go nerds raw footage in my car at clubloose freedom moves power band is there from low to high rpms. same exact setup in the car in this thread.

Damn that think totally sounds like a Nascar. Thanks for opening up my eyes as well to another cheap v8 option. my sister has a LS400 with 290k on the clock and its still going strong. Seems to be a "set it and forget it" type of engine.

[Fries]

Hey man, could you post a couple pictures of the drivers side header with it installed?

I want to see if the concept-8 steering shaft designed for a SBF swap would work instead of having the manifolds modified.

I love this build.

Oh and the coolant over flow bottle is a good choice. :)

[pilot_546]

I know this thread is old but any updates?

[Sezio]

Where did you get all your fuel line set up stuff... Mine is really messy right now.

[Ady B]

[mkezzo16]

I've been wanting to do this to my LS400..been thinking of using the r154 from my supra or the z33 6 speed.

Where can I get that angled blue silicone elbow on your intake?

[shoguner]

That's not silicone. Looks like a "aem" intake pipe.

[turtle m3th]

Coupler sizes are 3.125" if anyone needs to know.

[Fries]

Bro could you give me the intel on what you did for the wiring?
Did you utilize the Lexus relays or by pass them some how?

Sorry, you've helped a ton. Just hoping you can get me over this last little piece.

And here is where I am currently with the car. All thats needed to start the motor is make a Y-pipe/intake and also relocate the battery to the trunk.
Which kind of Cultch is yours?
And Which kind of Pressure plate is yours?
And how many horses can it handle

Thank you so much
