A different kind of na

Anyone know where I can find a 1gz-fe? I need info

 

[airhead04]

Thats a century engine. So I guess you could get one out of a junk yard or off craigslist

 

[Poodles]

Not available in the US that I'm aware of, not to mention the low production number. Going to be a tough find and it will have to be imported.

I was under the impression it was only available in Japan.

 

[Poodles]

I've heard of them being imported elsewhere, but not as a new car...

 

[CRE]

I'm not surprised... Regardless, as you said, with the low production numbers, finding one will probably be hell.

 

[Pernilongo]

depends how badly you want it. its possible to get anything. just a matter of money. might have to be custom ordered. was surprised to see that 2gz was Russia only edition, what the hell? they dont make Russia only anything.

A 5.0 V12 from Toyota. So cool.

Extremely rare. Good luck.

Lol yea I knew most of that guys but I appreciate the info regardless, I was just hoping if I threw it out there someone would have some info on where to get one, I'll keep searching then

 

[Tajabaho1]

try going to japan and source one out.......

with some benjamins, they'd sell you anything over there (personal experience)

I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but there's a guy who's putting a 1GZ-FE in a MKII. He got his engine from Yahoo Japan auctions.

I also love this pic. A 1UZ sitting next to a 1GZ. It's actually not that much bigger than the 1UZ, for having 4 extra cylinders.

Very cool engine. As others have said very rare, keep in mind its also going to be difficult to find parts for it. If your ok with that go for it!

Pic is deceptive, I've measured one of these at a buds house and dropping it into a Mk3 is a big ask.

WTF tranny is that? EDIT: read the build, T56.

 

[PureDrifter]

motor alone afaik is minimum $2800-3500.

and given that it is an FE head, and will require 100% custom fabrication, honestly its not worth it.

one of those "if you have to ask...." scenarios for sure.

 

[RazoE]

I've seen LHD Centuries before, here's a pic of one..

so your search may have expanded, but it cannot be by much..

Topsecret used one in their JZa80

and this dude's doing it to a MKII!!!

 

[giterboosted]

Its as long as an I6 andas wid a a v8, it can so be done

 

[Poodles]

Notice how tight it is (no radiator is installed in that pic!). Gonna be a tough install...

They routed the rad into the rear hatch. It has ducts to cool it. Find the article and check it out, it is rediculous fo sho. Btw, this engine swap has always been my secret plan, but now with all the interest I figured I could tell . Once i finish my digidash, I'll think about trying it if I can afford.
