The rods got thinner and lighter, post 95. And the pistons were changed too to increase compression from 10:1 to 10.5:1.So the non VVT-i are better for boosted applications out the box, but the later engines had better flowing heads.

I own an LS400 (87538 original miles) with a 1UZFE, and ironically it's the first engine that I have not modified and refuse to modify. I love how quiet the LS400 is, it allows me to escape the world while driving and just enjoy the ride. I modded a 1995 Camry by doing a 5SFE/3SGTE merge turning it into a stock boosted 5SGTE, and yet here I am with an engine far more capable and no desire to mod. That being said, the 1UZFE is an amazing piece of automotive engineering, when kept stock and maintained properly these engines are well known to go 1,000,000 miles which is insane, and they are one of the only automotive engines that is certified by the FAA to be used as an aircraft engine.

Beautiful motor, great sound, good for swaps, strong and light, cheap to boost, flattest torque curve known to man, yet not too thirsty, easy to maintain... There's a reason the UZ series was put in all their trucks/SUVs and flagship sedans for two decades, and the UR that replaced it is essentially an evolution of the UZ design arc with dual VVT-i, direct injection, timing chain (yaaay), free flowing heads etc etc. UZ's are basically the LS of Japan, just the right combo of everything at the right time.

Owned a '98 LS400 for a few years and still recall how awesome that V8 was. So ready to go, so quiet, and I could get better than 22 MPG _easily_. I got 27.5 MPG out of it on a purely highway road trip. All that from a car with almost 300 HP that weighed two tons! If it didn't require premium, I'd say it was the best V8 I've ever owned. I'm still considering sourcing one for a muscle car swap. That's what lead me to this video. Interesting learning more about that engine I so enjoyed.

You mentioned Valve Adjustments...I'm a Toyota MDT and have been with Toyota for 22 years. The only car that I have even had to adjust the valve spec on was a 2002 Avalon. Just 1 Intake Valve on #3. All of us in the shop were surprised because no one else ever had to adjust any valve on any of our engines with the Bucket design. I actually contacted Tech Support about this adjustment so they would be aware. The design is incredibly accurate. Hardened Chips as we call them, the little shim that goes on top of the bucket over the valve. These basically need no adjustment at all. Yes the Chips come in different thickness to adjust the gap but as I stated, they don't just go out of adjustment.

Dont know about the later UZ motors, but the 1UZ also come with forged steel crank and 6 bolt mains (4 traditionally mounted plus 1 each side from the side of the block). This made the bottom end pretty bulletproof. Couple that with forged steel rods (thanks for reminding me @Jason Phillips) and specially constructed alloy/steel pistons and you have a really good base to start some serious tuning from.

best way to kill a 1UZ after the very first gen is to not change the timing belt on time.

I need a video on Sc400 jack points ..don’t wanna mess up any pinch welds

it was the first version of the 1uzfe that had the more hd rods an pistons which no-one has noted an it is able to handle about 12-15psi depending on tune an with thicker head gasket able to handle more but ya limited to the cam an rpm's an the ports in the heads, but with custom porting, cams, valve job, blower pistons, cop ignition an aftermarket ecu, you can do 30psi+ @ over 9500rpm an make over 1500hp+

Love my 92 ls400

Right the problem here is that a 1UZ-FE with thicker heasdgaskets a ringed block and stronger head studs could take 30 psi of boost and make up to 1000BHP without low compression pistons the 2UZ had thinner rods and the 3UZ was boared to 4.3 litres and thinner rods again and with the VVTI made it impossible to add power to it without major modifications

@yotarip

6 жыл бұрын

The simplest way to increase the power of a 1uz is turbo/supercharge. As far as wiring there are a few essential ecu wires needed to get it running. BATT- 12 volts constant power from battery which holds the memory. IG- 12 volts to the ecu when igniton is turned on. MEL-R - Main efi relay is activated when 12 volts is sent to it from the ecu when the ignition is turned on. The main efi relay then sends 12 volts back to the ecu at the B/B+ pins on the ecu. Then depending on what yesr 1uz harness you have, there are usually 2-3 black and red or black and orange wires that get 12 volts with ignition on. These wiries provide power to the idle control valve, o2 sensors, injectors, maf and other sensors. There is also a heavy gauge black or black and white wire to activate the starter.

There are three different ecu's used in the 89-96 LS400's. The pin outs and plugs to the ecu's are different. The 92 -97 SC400 has two different ecu's but the ecu's will plug in and run any year.The harnesses are 99% the same but you will get a check engine light if you use the later ecu on an earlier motor due to the difference in the EGR system. I suggest you go on ebay and search LEXUS LS400 ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM MANUAL USA & CANADA. Purchase the correct manual for your year engine. It will cost $40-$70 and well worth it. The diagrams are in color The colors match the actual colors of the wires in your harness so it's hard to screw it up.I use this manual in all my swaps because the information provided in it is everthing you need.

I wish it was just as easy as the turbo kits they sell for the 2jz. And on the eaton supercharger don't you have to have some kind of plenum adapter for it? I can't just bolt it on?

You right my man I'm a Nissan tech and we are bucket city... never adjusted one in 10 years of working for them

I fixed 4.7 v8 Toyota engine in my old Nissan patrol.... It's amazing I can beat GMC Yukon.... Hehehe

In your opinion are the engines in the 95-97 LS400 better than the 98-00 LS400???

95-95 (2nd gen) looks better IMO, but for the extra amenities the 98-00 (3rd gen LS) has, I’d go. Only issue is if belt snaps rip motor

I fitted a iuz in my Mercedes Sprinter van with w58 box best part was throwing the shitbox merc diesel in the shredder :D

Later models had 2uz fe then 3uz fe then shit got crazy with the LS460 (since by then toyota stopped making sc only sc430 then that died off ) the LC500 looks fucken sick plust that 10 speed tranny have yet to see one on the road

You killed 1UZ-FE engine on your SC400 - how?

Vvti improved torque and fuel economy. Higher compression increased the power.

i just got an sc400 with 350,000km and it feels a bit down on power, what are the first things i should replace/clean to get some of that power back?
