I'll let you know! This is all very tentative. I came on mostly to get info for the possibility. I'm still not committed to the swap

Of course. I've seen a handful of guys do it the 1UZ, one with a turbo which I don't intend to do. Fitment is fine from what I've seen. The engine requires custom mounts which different people go about with in different ways. I'd intend to fabricate some mounts that push it farther back but some...

Read your post ages ago! I've been on hybridz for a long while know, your thread is what pushed me to want a jz swap over an rb actually. Biggest issue right now is cost. 1JZ/2JZ engines have ballooned out of proportion. For the price of a jz I can get a 3uz, cd009, and most of a manual trans...

@gloverman you are a the man! Have been looking through a fair number of your videos on youtube. Like I mentioned I'm happy to use my MS3x for it since I have a spare universal harness for it I could wire, but it seems only very few people on the megasquirt forums have run a 3uz and hardly any...

I got very lucky and it seems there's someone not far from me parting out an LS430 with the 3UZ. My next hang up is fitting the drive by wire pedal in my Datsun. Will I have to use the pedal in the LS430 or can I adapt a different pedal that might fit better? Some people have made 3D printed...

Would it work fine in a swap though? I'm not familiar with how integrated the systems are. I've read from some people trying to lock into neutral, but the power is lower even if it's still sensing a transmission. Does it go into some sort of limp mode, or can that be fully bypassed? I have MS3X...

Much appreciated! I looked up 400z and 400zed. Looks like the 400z thread is a non-VVTi, but the engine bolted in with MK3 supra mounts somehow and made the adapter for a cd009 line up properly... seems almost too easy. I'll look more into that bit, but honestly I'm here more for the info on...

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums, but a big fan of Toyota (despite only owning Nissan right now). I have a 280z that has come a long way in the last 6 years and I'm hoping to use this post for the possibility of a UZ swap. I've never done a swap, but I'm running MS3X on my stock L28, and...
