hi all i am currently bought a smashed up toyota soroar wich has a 1uzfe 4l v8 in it ...i am seriusly considering of putting it in my ke

it had a 351 windsor in it out of a ltd ford.....what would be more suitable you think? 351 5l or 1uzfe?

It would be great to find out what yous think

1UZFE's go hard! I thrashed mine everywhere I went, and it never missed a beat.

i noticed form 0-100 a 351 pulls you in the seat but the 1u is totally different after 100 is where the g-force is...i was thinkin if i can piss off the fuel injection and carby it it'l be good ,saves me the hassle of computer etc etc, but not sure if they made a manifold to suit carbs for the 1u?

what are itb's never heard of them?

IMO if it already has the mounts for a 351 your better of putting that back in. The money you save from not having to make new mounts etc could be put towards engine mods on the 351

capa supercharges said that i can get a 1000 hp out of a 1u without havin to touch the bottom end so I'm just thinkin if it would be worth it

i riped out the 351 because i put it bak in my ltd .all the modifactions i do myself so it wouldnt cost me much ...just the materials

has a 1uzfe even been attempted in a corolla

1000hp on standard internals? I seriously doubt it. I've seen a properly built 1200hp 1UZ crack the cylinder block good and proper. CAPA tend to dribble a fair bit of shit in my opinion.

 

There are 1UZ corollas around the traps, you certainly wont be the first.

[brendan]

yeah thats what i thought ...that was a load of crap till just about everyone told me the same thing i suppose it'l be like the 351 ....still can't get it engineered for the street

individual throttle bodies

The Piranha Racing lexus hotrod still runs the standard crank but has aftermarket pistons & rods.

Definitely go 1UZ, isnt it all alloy? vs a Cast Iron 351! Should be much lighter.

 

As for Carbs you'd have to fab up a manifold, run triple deuces poking out the bonnet. That would be funny as....

ive made up my mind and will start the conversion at the end of the year

I'm cosidering painting it breeze green off the xr6 turbo ...whilst the motor is out
