Ryan.G Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 What's the engine out of Ryan, and how does it sit in relation to the stock engine mounting holes on the subframe. I assume your having to make custom engine mounts and brackets. Mine is out of a LS400 and a few things needed changing around but the Soarer 1uz drops straight in with a set of supra engine mounts.

Ryan Really!!!! I'm liking the sound of this. Really looking forward to the developments. Can I just point out that instead of being in here you should be making my loom adaptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanIIRC: you need a Soarer sump the LS manifolds are a better shape for swapping round and mounting a turbo or two (but less efficient?) the Soarer uses a hydraulic fan and the LS is a viscous fan, but you can fit the LS fan to a Soarer, or go electric. the post-94 engines have weaker conrods Internet research rather than experience, because I think a manual 1UZ in a Supra or Soarer would make a nice road car, even without forced induction (although what I'd really like is a Chevy LS, but that would be a lot more difficult). I'll be following this thread (along with the other UZ conversions) with a great deal of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Loving this, Ryan. VNT? Love it! I'd love a set of those to use as an upgrade on mine one day, if they flow enough! SUBSCRIBED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Got another one yesterday for £175! Spare for if this one goes pop But seeing as Fearless's 1UZ with a T78 and a Syvecs is running 1.3bar now and has done 10 laps of the ring, llandow and more abuse im feeling abit more confident about what the 1uz will do. Has to be the right 1UZ tho One has a much better bottom end as standard.. I know he had some setup problems to start with but sounds like its come together now? any dyno results?

Peter P Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Cracking project you've got going there Ryan mate My old man had a Lexus LS 400 and it was a hoot to drive! good power and whisper quiet! Will be watching this with interest as it should be awesome once your finished with it fella. Best of luck with it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I know he had some setup problems to start with but sounds like its come together now? any dyno results? Had problems to start with because I tried to extend the 2jz coil packs to fit the 1uz (as I did away with the dizzys and HT leads) but once I got a set of coilpacks from a later Lexus that was sorted Also had problems with oil temperature on track days but it only had a fairly modest oil cooler I have another one to go in there now which will hopefully cure that problem and then it is down to see Ryan again for a full map and see what it puts out on the dyno. Just need to save a few pennies for a set of rear tyres, some road tax and a tank of fuel now Mine has just been kind of thrown together so it will be nice to see a proper job done on Ryans and those turbos look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 hi mate , as i said earlyer i will want to do this swap for my 2012 track car would you mind if i pepper you with questions when the time comes ? craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ryan, are you taking the oil feed from? Assuming the sump was drilled and tapped for the return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Soarer doesn't have oil water exchange so misses power steering rack. In a nut shell get a pre 1993 soarer engine and your laughing.

Ryan.G Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Is this being built to a similar spec as Fearless's? Im going to refresh the top end of the engine and fit ARP head studs but apart from that it will be very similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
