1UZ-FE conversion from Soarer

Recommended Posts

I've got early 1UZ-FE engine here from 1991 Soarer (forged pistons one) plus gearbox and hydro fan radiator. ECU and adapted airbox from Supra are included in sale, bracket and PAS tank is included too. You will need 2JZ engine mounts to fit it into Supra engine bay, you will also need gearbox to radiator pipes made, some modifications to rubber piping around PAS, wiring to ECU (nodalmighty from this forum can do it for you) and propshaft/exhaust/fuelling lines will need to be custom made. Engine got 140k miles on a clock and runs sweet, gearbox is very smooth (see videos). Conversion itself is not hard to do for a person with average mechanical knowledge, I managed to pull engine out and put it in to Supra in a one day (when I was doing my conversion). I drove this Soarer from South Wales to Wolves and it was very comfy and quiet ride with lovely V8 purr instead of radio music :) As it stays I'll ask 630 pounds for this set plus delivery costs. I would prefer collection as it is heavy, but fluids are drained and I can fix it to some palette for a transport :) Might be able to deliver locally.

Here's few pictures and youtube videos - please note that I swapped plastic engine covers to plain ones as I took TRD badge ones to my own engine :p

Still here, it's a great engine and sound of it is just immense, worth investment, especially if you plan super/turbo charging it in a future. They take up to 500 bhp without sweat and standalone/piggy back ECU's are widely available :)
