1UZ swap complete. S366, Haltech, E85, etc.

i agree man i agree! its very unique. i like the jz motors mainly the 2j but god this gives a whole nother option lol! car makes torque sounds mean is somewhat cheap so replacing wouldn't be an arm and a leg. i wish i had the tuning skills and craftsman he has on this though!

Here's a different perspective..

Good work!

 

[88mk3supra]

what rpm are you taking her to man? sounds mean! im not sure on upgraded cams for the 1uz but with cams and the ignition as you said, with higher boost this is going to be a monster! gotta love the displacement spools that turbo real nice

Only taking it to 6500. No point in going higher with these cams - they just choke out BAD.

 

[88mk3supra]

still pulls nice i cant wait to see it with cams and revving higher! wow lol. great job man. also cant wait to see speedo pulls sometime

Can't be mad at that, you make at least double the power as your old 1j setup, at least until around the 5k mark. Even then you're still up a healthy amount. Area under the curve, right?

You know, definitely gives the idea of one of these in the 46 a bit more of an argument, though the engine bay is a bit narrow, a dohc v8 might not fit easily.

That is the easy part.

 

[te72]

That is the easy part.

True, but I'd be willing to bet if his setups were run side by side, the v8 car would pull due to the early powerband. As much as I like high strung smaller motors, low end grunt isn't entirely overrated...

 

[HMNGSupraMKIII]

Damn, that last picture is so beasty. Very jealous

 

[88mk3supra]

id love to see this run with some jz cars would be cool to see the differences in powerband

 

[IBoughtASupra]

A JZ would take the longer pulls due to a higher redline but the 1UZ would jump head every time.

That can change with an addition of cams and jeeez, what a race that would be. :ugh:

 

[Nick M]

Displacement isn't overrated in anyway shape or form.

 

[88mk3supra]

i agree! the jz has the high rev/powerband, and hell yes! i would love to see cams on this beast then see the outcome!

 

[te72]

The ONLY downside to higher displacement engines is they tend to weigh more, that's the only potential issue I see. On a Mk3 though, that wouldn't matter, and in this case, the 1uz is lighter than the JZ that was pulled out, so double benefit in this case.

 

[88mk3supra]

any updates? i am excited for when this beast gets cams! then grab a 6spd. and call it a day!! soo curious to how it does against some big boy jz cars as i am currently looking to either go jz or 1uz in my mk3.

Nah, wont be any updates for a little while. Cams are going to be quite expensive...I need to get a couple more customers who want these swaps done. That should net me some project money for cams. lol.

 

[88mk3supra]

gotcha man yea i agree 4 cams will be a ton haha good luck man cant wait to see updates!

The original swapper (that I know of) weighed his 7MGTE and 1UZFE. The 7M was 440lbs, and the V8 was 370. That was the old V8Supra.com site, or whatever it was called.

 

[te72]

I was speaking in generalities, iron block vs iron block, aluminum block vs aluminum block, more cubes tends to equal more weight.

Another benefit to swapping in a 1uz? Better weight distribution, much of the engine should sit behind the axle.
