Toyota 5.0

[Mr.Cheeto]

Well if been sneeking around this forum for the past 6months and have decided what I'm going to do. Note this project is just for shits and giggles also it would be kinda cool just to have one IMO. I have done a couple cars with just bolt on and such but have never popped open an engine so bare with I'm hoping to learn from this.

I want to build an all motor 5.0 2uz bottom with 1uz heads. My questions are:

Could I bore it out the extra .3L or would I have to go with a full stroker assembly. If so how much would I have to bore it out?

Secondly this build will be purely bolt on performance maybe 150
in the future but Im leaning torwards it being vvti would it benefit more from the bolt ons or should I go with a non vvti?

Thank you to anyone who responds.

[Mr.Cheeto]

Anyone? No one?

It's doable and a bore will get you there.

Custom pistons will be needed and may as well do rods as well. For shits and giggles it won't be cheap?

If you are serious in progressing, I have a pair of VVTi heads for sale, with intake etc.

For what it'll cost you to do this, you could probably buy two Ford Coyote crate motors. Then you'll have your 5.0 liters, and plus, they'll be aluminum blocks, not cast iron like the 2UZ, so they'll probably weigh around 60 - 80lbs less. Probably be a lot easier hooking up a T56 to them too.

But if you hear this 5.0 2UZ project calling you, and you have deep enough pockets, then by all means get on with it! When you're doing a project like this, sometimes logic & rationale don't count for much. (Several of us have spent the equivalent of 4-5 Coyote motors on our 1UZ builds.)

Thanks guys and I am well aware that for the cost of this project I could buy a couple crate engines and maybe have money left over but I need a something to turn wrenches on and the fact that it'll be satisfyingly unique adds to it.

So far I've done 1/3 of the research an still have much to learn on these engines but hopefully ill get the ball rolling in the next couple weeks and ill probably add f/I into the mix later on down the road .

Justen ill let you know once I source a block

Also once its all said and done what should I drop the engine into? Any suggestions?

Well, a Supra, of course!

Lol that's if I can find one for a decent price. But I did find a website that makes mounts, and adapters to fit a 1uz to a 240sx with a z33 trans.

A forced induction VVT 1UZ built motor with 10.5 comp on E85 will haul any 5.0...
High compression, GOOD tune [Good ECU] with turbo is very responsive ...

[Mr.Cheeto]

That is very true but I'm not looking to make big power.

? then what's the point of the big litre setup?
