pretty sweet lookin clean motor..... perfect fit too....

[MakotoS13]

oh sweet mother of god that is sexy.

[Dutchmalmiss]

may i ask what that motor is?

[lucky7]

some weld wheels would compliment the swap pretty nicely.

[dannyboi]

Wonder how it sounds. :yum:

[radhaz]

may i ask what that motor is?

Thats a 1uzfe motor it was used in the Lexus LS, SC, and GS 400's

[*NismoS13*]

That is extremely clean, I love it. I would absolutely love to hear a sound clip also. How was the windshield wiper motor piece polished? I thought that part was plastic? Or is it some other sold piece? Or am I totally wrong?!

[BoroBoroS13]

Wow... Thats a really clean swap and very unique. Props

[infinitexsound]

raspy grumbly sound........ the lexus team went to altamont and they had IS with that swap i beieve..... pretty nice sound.. i likes alot...

[420sx]

its fuckin gourgeous.... you should take off the valve cover and violate every cylinder

[JaeTea]

SICK! :eek2: :eek2:

And its in a Zenki.. :bowdown:

[Nismo180]

That's awesome that he kept it in the Nissan lineup for a second there I thought it was a 5.0 mustang motor :wtc: . But, it's not mad props, mad clean! Any numbers?

[MakotoS13]

i thought that was a toyota motor............

[infinitexsound]

atoyota < very weird.......... yeap

[sLip techniques]

interesting, and then after he took the photos he had to push 12 times to gas stations until he got home

[Nan Desu Ka?!]

GOOOOD GOD. that is pure SEX. i think i need new pants... :D

yeah but gas is a bitch... but GOD i dont care, i want one!

[CylonFrakker]

the 1uzfe is dam good motor and great on gas mileage too. My old LS400 got anywhere from 18 to 23 and thats with 3900 lbs. So in the 180 that would be even better.

[RightWheelDrive]

:wtc: I have the same engine in my other car which makes me appreciate this swap even more. The 1UZFE made 80% of its total torque(260lb-ft) at ~1800rpm ( yes 1800rpm is correct ). The 3UZFE makes 90% of its total torque (325lb-ft) at the same rpm. I drive around town with all the hills and such keeping it under 2000rpm and its pretty quick...yes I know you can do that with the torque in a KA but if you are thinking that, you probably don't understand what I am saying. And it still got 18/22mpg. Well picture that and then subtract ~1200lbs + manual tranny = :eek2: As for what it sounds like, I removed the mufflers and it sounded like what a V8 should sound like, lumpy and grumpy at the low revs but past 4k it starts screaming like a F1. People would always stare at me weird because they don't expect a sound like that coming from a ls400. :yum: One of the best swaps I have ever seen :bigok:

[drew935]

damn that's hot. I know that it will throw off the weight balance but it is still a good swap. Maybe a VQ in our s13's? hmmm,... :ughug:

[driftracer]

Nice pictures,... that engine looks great :)

[IGSDann]

damn that's hot. I know that it will throw off the weight balance but it is still a good swap. Maybe a VQ in our s13's? hmmm,... :ughug:

1UZ's are all aluminum. They weigh less than 2JZ's. If it's far back enough it won't affect much at all for weight.

Oh and freakin awesome swap.

[420sx]

yeap. rwd car that can actually handle +v8 = ownage.

[racer98]

may i ask what that motor is?


you kidding right ?????

[420sx]

^ i dont think he is hahaha

[infinitexsound]

hmm i wonder if the front x member had to be modified?

[drftwerks]

id still rather have a LS1 or any variant MMMMMM LS7

[Inland180]

nice car. i see everyone trying to be somewhat different now a day

[MakotoS13]

we are on the eve of the V8 revolution gentlemen. hellz yes.

[Wei240]

nice .

[DRIFT_LEASE]

Dam that thing is NICE :duh:

[TUnity2]

Should have used a q45 motor to keep it in the nissan family but....

it is still pure sex and i LOVE it.

[trsilvias13]

in grassroot motorsport they had a contest of some sort a dude with a 240sx dump in a chevy 350 motor and put a silvia s13 front end on. he ran 13.403 and only spent $1744. pretty cool

[OptionZero]

where'd they find the manual tranny? SC/LS/GS 400 series never had a stick

[atom]

Use an adaptor plate or replacement bellhousing. A lot of people use the toyo R154 tranny.

[infinitexsound]

yeah i read up on it...... alot of aussie guys are doing it..... u have to buy like an adapter plate and run a different bell housing for sure......... id do it if i had the money.... nothing beats the sound of a v8 NA.... and a V8 made by toyota for sure.... think indy car and think who owns thats race with their engine......... yota.... for daymn sure...

[racer98]

we are on the eve of the V8 revolution gentlemen. hellz yes.



Yeah I would really like some one complete a Nissan V8 into a usdm S13 and keep the a/c working :rant2:

[racer98]

bell housing adapter, from a company in aus but last heard there and this is
UNCONFIRMED info swaping the bell housing from a Z32 TT box and forgot what it was used from custom fabrication or it was off of some nissan product was able too bolt up the VH motor.

so I dont know and I have not seen any finished work.

[infinitexsound]

racer98, wasnt it like using the 7m supra's tranny... swapping the bellhousing with/ the aussie adapter plate? i believe so, correct me if i was wrong.... on another note where did u hear about using the z's tranny? this is getting intresting......

[wootwoot]

blah. These things always give me bad ideas

[racer98]

so many people talk but use only the box it self and then get a custom bell housing too fit on that Z32 TT transmission reason parts and they are is support for parts for them in the usa.

[infinitexsound]

this is gonna get intresting................... im gonna look into this alot more its kind of giving me ideas of not going turbo............but im still skeptical..

that's my buddy stan.. he dumped alot more than that but shhhhhhh... the car is a piece and the motor is dying anyway

[420sx]

thats right, since 350 is a piece... could have gone 302

[infinitexsound]

u know i remember the tv show rides when they did a little series about steve millen and his company.... i remember them doing the swap to an IS using the supra 6spd tranny.... they machined a bellhousing.. and killed some of the sensor codes..... im surprised he didnt come out with an adapter plate....

[DrIfT~V1GiLaNtE]

oooooooooo :hyper: i want one...... thats pretty sick

very nice pictures

[240trainee]

Yea, I saw the Millin IS430, which is what they called it iirc, lol. looked pretty nice. and DrIfT~V1GiLaNtE, that sig is too big, 400x200 pixel max, better remove it.
