^Good info^
The IR$ wanted to fuck with me this year so I didn't Start a uz swap :( ........





Yet.....

Flywheel bolts I am using ARP flywheel bolt set for a 4age

Also another update. I ended up using a ACT 6 puck clutch disc from an sr20det. The fitment is great!

I also had to have my Z33's trans bellhousing machined down 5/8 of an inch to compensate for the adapter plates thickness.

OBX/ebay Shorty headers for a 4.7L tundra with a 2uz-fe. Passenger side fits perfect after the flange is cut off. Driver side is a different story and is going to be a bitch because of the steering shaft :)

Whipped up some motor mounts(1/8 plate-1.75 tube cut at a 40 degree angle to use oem 1uz engine mount) and also realized how shitty the driver side header is going to be.

Finally all fitted in place.

Hope this helps some people out being there isnt much info out there yet. If there is enough interest I will make a more detailed build thread

Nice to see this thread is still on going. Still interested in the swap in the future.

This made my nipples hard!

flicktitty didn't even realize you had this thread when I was messaging you about the 2jz and 1uz swaps..

I am hoping to go to a junkyard and pull a 1uz within the next month or so. Really excited for this swap.

Although all the videos I've seen are either exhaust sounds or drifting. Wanna see how an s13 with this swap would handle other things

How many of you guys think this swap would/could make for a possible DD?

i know the 1uz can be extremely reliable but obviously this is no ordinary 1uz appliance

I should get my little tax return in a month and I will start my swap then if everything is on the up and up. I'm gonna shoot for a budget around $2,500. I know someone who has done it for under $2,000 (using stock tundra/sequoia exhaust manifolds). Im gonna do a build thread but I'm bad at that kinda stuff. Someone with the skills should do a really detailed one almost like a diy to prove just how easy it really is so we can make this a more of a commin swap.

using a stock 5vz or 3sgte flywheel and a ka/sr/z33 clutch disc&transmission along with oem tundra exhaust manifolds, im sure this swap can be done under a budget cap.

how will this swap affect the handling of the s13 chassis? i have an SOHC in my 89 hatch and i love the way it handles, but the 1uz swap is very interesting to me. i used to work for a Lexus dealership and i have NEVER seen a blown 1uz. these engines are very reliable. i recommend changing the starter while it`s on an engine stand because they are a pain once it`s in the car.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't weigh much more than the KA24DE. In fact I think they're about the same. There's a link in this thread to another thread on Nicoclub and someone says it there. I wouldn't think it'd affect handling too much.

Get onto Facebook and look up Justin barber from Goldsboro, Nc. He did a 5 speed swap on his 1uz into his sc400. I believe he used a mk4 supra tranny. He did it from the ground up as well. He's a huge yota guy and he knows his shit. Sorry it's a outta forum reference but like I said. He's extremely knowledgable about yota/lexus stuff. Here's some pics of his car.

Wow looks really good!

Be sure to get video covering everything about the performance when you're done ;)

can you do a right up for wiring?

Any progress on the swap?

I was going to go LSx, but I don't think I can pass up $2,000ish swapped for a v8 (even though 256whp is a little low)

Also thought you guys might want to check this out.
Bullet Cars - Supercharger Kits Toyota 1UZFE

Bullet supercharged of Australia, offers a m90 supercharger kit ($300-600 used s/c) that would be good to add another 170 or so hp. What are you guys using for engine management for your stuff?

I had followed the S14 swap which was done in the Red Kouki years ago and was wondering if the swap was going to catch anyone else's attention. Glad this setup is becoming more popular since as noted, the motor is an absolute charm in stock form. I myself have also not seen one blown and I have known a couple of older gear heads who were all about Toyota power.

I'm going to pull this motor out of a ls400 TODAY! I cant beat the price 300 bucks, she has 180k her but from everyone i talked to that's nonething. I'm going to put my SR transmission on the back of her and keep her mostly stock. I have a nitrous kit sitting in the closet. I may just hook that up and plumb a 100 shot then call it a day.

I just finished a S13 with a 98 VVTI engine. If you need anything let me know, Ive done a majority of the 1UZ to W56/R154 swaps in the N-Bay.

Did you use a crown ecu or how did you bypass the key start interlock immobilizer thingy? Also want to know what parts you used in your swap and HP if you got any ideas. I know the gs400's were rated at 300 crank so maybe 300whp with headers n full exhaust?

So now I'm pretty set on selling all my lsX swap parts to fund finishing th rest of my car. Then save after that for a 1uz swap

Updates? I'm going this route now! Selling my KA soooon!!

Very cool!

I always thought a VVTI UZ would be an awesome setup.

Does anyone have more information yet on a wiring how to?

Im planning on doing this swap into my S13 coupe. Does anyone have more info on running the KADE trany? I just need to know what flywheel, clutch, bearing to run. I have a fresh white bunny clutch and flywheel for my KADE sitting here that I'd like to use.

toyota 3v or 5v flywheel, turbo mr2(3sgte) pressure plate and sr20det disc with 4age flywheel bolts.

Thanks!
Do you know about the pilot bushing? And the drive shaft wouldn't need to be shortened or lengthened if I run a KA trany correct?

pilot bushing needs to be made as far as i know. some one might be selling them though. as far as the trans and drive shaft, if you stick with the ka, no mods required. although i read about the throw out bearing falling off the sleeve due to over extension, i think if the ka trans bell housing gets machined so that the same thickness of the adapter can be removes, it might fix the issue. not sure though.
