1UZ-FE SWAP????

[suprabad]

Put your flame-throwers away...I'm just curious.

I've heard of this swap talked about in theory, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any existing examples or writeups regarding an MA70-1UZ-FE hybrid?

In particular I'd like to know how straightforward the swap would be and how much fabrication is involved.

Any kits commercially available to aid in this swap?

Any info on this subject is greatly appreciated!

There was just a thread about this about 2 days ago...

CJSupra is doing that swap. Here is a link to his build post: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27374

Time for a 3UR-FE swap, methinks.

is that the new 5.7L tundra motor? 381hp stock with available supercharger. Its on like donkey kong

That's the one, although I don't know about the supercharged part.

Time for a 3UR-FE swap, me thinks.

Interesting idea, but wouldn't you be better of with the 1URE-FSE? Although the 3URE-FSE is an impressive 5.7 liters, if you check the bore and stroke you will find that the extra displacement (1 liter more than the 1URE-FSE) is gained by way of a longer stroke. So basically what you end up with is a torque monster more suited to a truck (which is what the motor was designed for).

By way of comparison, the 1URE-FSE has a much shorter stroke (quicker revs and better top end power) and it would seem to me a better choice for the Supra. Also, and possibly most important I believe they are both alloy block and heads! Probably weighs less than our current mill (7mgte).

Opinions anyone?

Both engines sweet. Both engines crazy expensive.

Stroke has no bearing on low end vs top end. It changes the whole torque curve. You are boosting output down low, but on top also. You think the Z06 Corvette with a 7.0 has no top end? The heads, cam timing, and manifold design has influence on shaping the low end vs high end. A ridiculously long stroke with high piston speed could compromise you in a long race.

A 5.7 Supra is the best idea. If it is too much money, go LS1. Jeff Langes' idea FTW.

No need for a flame suit. A 1UZFE swap is a great idea.

 

[SySt]

Good point Nick. The LS7 in the new Z06 has a 4.125" stroke, which is 104.775mm.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Im gonna try to keep a supra for another 20 years so I can get an LS7.

My friend down the street who just shot a rod in his 7M is swapping an LS6.

Opinions anyone?

Yeah, good engine, but wtf is with the stupidly long engine code? :nono:

 

[T34418L3ONE]

i think that toyota already showed a TRD version of the tundra. Lowered, red with black wheels and a supercharger. Basically a bigger s/x-runner

 

[Jllahman]

The 2uzfe supercharger bolts right up to the 1uzfe.

 

[PureDrifter]

The 2uzfe supercharger bolts right up to the 1uzfe.

a 4 year old post....really?

and the 2UZ-FE TRD supercharger is only theoretically going to fit to a VVT-i 1UZ-FE. not these earlier engines. totally different head/intake.

 

[hvyman]

Holy bump batman.

And anything less that one of these bad boys is just plain weak sauce.:evil2:

 

[RazoE]

holy shit, look at that pulley! It'd take another 1UZ just to turn it..

 

[hvyman]

I know right. Its something like it takes almost 1000hp to turn a top fuel cars s/c. Shits insane.

Now a magnuson would be easy as pie to turn and make tons of power.

 

[destrux]

Would a 3UR fit in the engine bay? They look massive, but maybe it's just the land yacht they come in from the factory making it look that way. I was just thinking a TRD supercharged 3UR would be killer in an A70 the other day.

 

[hvyman]

It prolly fit. The heads are just massive. There kinda eh tho. Floating cylinders and all.
