New member looking at celica gt uz swap

[LuthorLex]

Looking at getting a few 1uz and 3uz engines for cheap and wondering if there is a gearbox adaptor
besides the R154 or toyota W boxes? World class t5 are 36kg from an S10 and bmw 5 speeds are used
by K miata are also very cheap and plentiful in comparison not to mention very compact.

Im looking at using arp head, rods and block studs as well as probably lighter rods and pistons, flywheel,
headers and Itbs for purely an NA build.

My other query is has anyone looked at the Voodoo Ford flat plane crank to see if it fits to the UZ or UR
as the bore spacings are similar in size to the UR well the bore sizes seem to be all the same for Benz,
porsche, toyota, nissan and some other twin cam 4-5ltr engines.

I also like the idea of supercharing like this clever Russians did for the uz

would prob be cheaper than an NA build and similar packaging unlike turbos.

Search out JustenGT8 on this Forum.

He was a mystro with the Celica GT4

I'm pretty sure Google would find plenty of information on what he did with his car.

Thats a great heads up thank you!
Never really got into FWD AWD cars
but not many RWD choices these days
that weigh around 1100kg
There is a 2jz st205 but not interesting
in nose heavy led tipped arrows.
