The original ISF!😁

THIS is what the original IS should have sold with, an optional 1UZ 290hp V8, so it could actually be taken a little more seriously as a stock performance sedan, instead of the aging n/a 215hp 2JZ as the top option. Nice work.

the uz engine available at the release time of the original IS sedan was not this engine which is rated at 290hp ,,,this is the later variable valve timing 1uzfe engine the only UZ engine avalable at that period was the 1UZFE which was only rated at 256hp

Tim Braithwaite that is incorrect. The 4.0L vvti 1uz was in production from the 1998 Ls and Gs 400 models with 290 and 300 hp respectively. In 2001 they moved those two cars to the 4.3L 3uz which made a bit more torque but had lower emmissions, but kept their Hp same. So an '01 IS430 would actually have been possible were it not for marketing strategy, etc.

Love it man. Power to weight ratio...awesome.

i was waiting to see somebody do this mod good stuff

There's a few guys who have made immobilizer bypass solutions for the original Toyota / Lexus factory ECU's, after over a year of searching finally got mine bypassed. Thanks for the advice regardless!

thanks :) - engine mounts were altezza mounts - just had to get spacers for the rubber mounts made from steel like 20mm to lift the sump off the cross member. then I was away laughing. mounts didnt break. make sure you get a 1uzfe vvti front sump motor yeh. contact me if need be.

you got a build log?

What did you have to do to for the automatic transmission sensors on the Ecu without having a check engine light?

Wesley Hammond hi it required an aftermarket ecu in the end..

Awesome mate, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a 4L if it's a 1UZ, even being a late model?

Awesome mate, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a 3UZ-FE?

i wouldve thought it was easier than tryna get Certed in Oz (Brisbane) AWESOME job though, based in Auckland?

i wanna see one swapped in a prius, that is my dream car.

fuck yeah!

They should make a drop in kit for this build.

Is it thirsty?

yea very nice swap...

Altezza RS400

lexus is with a 4.7liter in it would be nice, even nicer would be the 5.7.

Love it, just a pointer though, you say its a 1UZ IS430... but it would be a IS400 if its a 1UZ 4.0l... or a 3UZ which is 4.3l would be IS430

Gear stick looked pencil thin. First time seeing one like that.....

Beast!! Porn for the ears!

atleast u used a japanese v8

Talk about tight fit

@v8tez nah mate if wasnt me aye : ( haha
