1UZ fits in Supra!

[supradude117]

What kind of car is that pressure plate from that you're using?

It's the original factory PP from my 2JZGTE, on there just for fitment purposes. I have an ACT "HD" PP, also from a 2JZGTE (when I had HKS twins) that's going on with a kevlar lined, sprung clutch disc from South Bend Clutch. That combo should hold the torque I anticipoate with the supercharged 1UZ, around 600 lbs.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, do you have a pic like this of the other side of the motor where the steering rack and such is?

Thank you for the existing pics, btw

 

[turboandrew]

Sorry, I have searched my pics, and I don't have the other side. The motor is out of the car right now, too. I can tell you it's a very tight fit on other side if you want to do headers. The steering column takes up more room than I anticipated.

Hi andrew, thank you for the reply. I figured it would be tight and that is why I wanted to ask, I need to anticpate how much room I am going to have for a downpipe (mine will be turboed)

If you are able to get a pic, I'd greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Hello everyone ! really interessting project you have .

I got 2 questions ? First does the 2UZ drops in with SC400 sump and mounts
and does the 2UZ heads fit on 1UZ ?

Thanks !

 

[turboandrew]

2UZ does not accept SC400 mounts. You need to fabricate mounts to connect the block to the rubber isolators. I am not sure if the 2UZ heads fit the 1UZ. They probbaly bolt on, but the cumbustion chamber may not match.

DITTO ON THE 'HOWS IT GOING'---I am fascinated and very excited myself to see this as I am doing something very similiar--

This is like a 3 year project! :Eyecrazy:

 

[turboandrew]

sadly it will probably be a 4 year project.

Dang, what are the specific hold ups?

Has your car been sitting engineless for 3 years?

sadly it will probably be a 4 year project.

Really interested in this thread as doing the same myself , but with a 91' 1UZ engine AND box.

Would i also need to use the SC400 engine mounts and oil pan to fit in my Mk4 ?

Hard to believe this thread is 22 years old. I think this is one of the most important threads on the entire site, historically speaking, which is why I'm bumping.

The MK4 Supra V8 swap was nearly mythological at the time, and turboandrew documenting the test fit in real time pulled a lot of people off the sidelines.

@turboandrew if you're still around, what happened with the project long-term? Did the AEM-on-1UZ-into-Supra recipe end up working out the way you thought it would, or did you find issues along the way that the rest of us could learn from?

For anyone newer to the forum reading this for the first time: this is where a lot of the SC400 oil pan and engine mount swap knowledge originated. Worth scrolling all six pages.
