1uzfe



1UZ-FE

The 4.0 L (3,968 cc/242.1 cu in) all-alloy 1UZ-FE debuted in 1989 in the first generation Lexus LS 400/Toyota Celsior and the engine was progressively released across a number of other models in the Toyota/Lexus range. The engine is oversquare by design, with a bore size of 87.5 mm (3.44 in) and stroke of 82.5 mm (3.25 in).[1] It has proved to be a strong, reliable and smooth powerplant with features such as 6-bolt main bearings and belt-driven quad-camshafts. The water pump is also driven by the cam belt. The connecting rods and crankshaft are constructed of steel. The pistons are hypereutectic.

Its resemblance to a race engine platform (6 bolt cross mains and over square configuration) was confirmed in 2007 by David Currier (in an interview with v-eight.com), vice president of TRD USA, stating that the 1UZ platform was based on CART/IRL engine design. It was planned to be used on GT500 vehicles, however its subsequent use in the Daytona Prototype use was not planned.

In its standard, original trim with 10:1 compression, power output is 191 kW (256 hp), torque of 353 N·m (260 lb·ft).[1]

1UZ-FE

The engine was slightly revised in 1995 with lighter connecting rods and pistons and an increased compression ratio to 10.4:1 resulting in peak power of 195 kW (261 hp) and torque of 363 N·m (268 lb·ft).

does it need a bit of wiring ecu etc ?

lexus asin warner auto to lt230 until I can afford something more exotic -90 and ls400 about same weight

sorry you did say but forgot thinking about engine ,hehe remember talking to borg warner about jap deals .they had a whole big empty shed

if a cummins b6 doesn't kill an lt230 then I should hopefully be good with a lexus lump

LT230 input gear - respline advice please - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum -notice dave ashcroft doesn't comment on stock lt230

reckon it will be a bit of fun

just considering engine mounts, something similar to an old capri pinto metal design may work-need a dry run to try it and see, tape measure only so good

lt230 or borgwarner should take it ,spline wear was long term effect with excess free play

here you go made a start, lexus has slightly less wiring than a space shuttle, some of the plastic wiring supports are ridiculously strong

I was a little ****ed off that guy at machine shop cut thread off output shaft,changed his mind and then tapped it. Not sure if the box would be same model-but if this one dies I'll give you a shout
