Looks fantastic, and love the color - is it the Supra Royal Sapphire Pearl? I own a '97 RSP hardtop Supra that your engine would look great in ;-) I'd planned to paint the plastic bits on my 1UZ pretty much the same color as you have.

I'm amazed you were able to get the headers to fit - did you have to "relieve" a few areas? Was the decision to go with a single exhaust driven by the lack of space under the car, or was it personal preference?

Really a nice job - please post more pics and more info about your swap and how the car goes, etc.

Hey Thanks for the comment
The blue was mixed up by my son its a toyota rav4 Blue
yeah the exhaust was personal preference, yeah headers fit good do not have to relieve any areas, left side header will unbolt inplace, right side rear cross member has to come off to remove

will have more info, pictures soon

Looks like you could park a Mini in the space left between the motor and the radiator. Notice any changes in the handling of the car?

Looks like hood closure works, but only just. Mine will have a low profile Richwood intake, plus an Opcon-Autorotor SC. I was hoping to have no hood interference, but.......

What sort of engine management are you using?

Very nice job. Anything done to the engine? What kind of numbers do you expect?

 

[jibbby]

Beautiful..... and thank you for sharing your work. We love Supra Owners here.

Good going! Looks like the pool of 1uz mkiv is getting bigger.
Did you get your a/c connected?

hood clearance has 15mm, so want to sc too! only a matter of time. i changed front lower arm bushes and fitted a solid swaybar with new links during engine swap. car handles much better less weight and more torque responds from low rpm so much better.just pulls out of corners.

hey thanks ,yeah i had them hpc coated along with the front pipes,well worth it last longer,less heat and flow better.this site has been so help full,only too happy to share any info

Interesting.....in the US the 5spd W58 doesn't get much respect from the NA Supra owners who turbo their motors. It'll be interesting to follow both yours and e-solver's projects to see if the W58 will handle the torque of the 1UZ, especially once it's FI'd.

Did you keep the stock 1UZ ECU for this? What sort of interfacing problems did you run into with the Supra harnesses, fuel pump control, etc.?

As you can see, you've generated a lot of interest with your conversion. It's good to have someone here who's been there, done it, and is willing to talk about it.

I have actually gone for the R154 box, but the W series gets used here to great success on higher HP cars. Total contradiction to what the US guys seem to find youre right! I would have used the W series on an NA 1UZ, but thought got the the step up for the turbo project.
