Hey Champ,

Ive done a little research on this and have found this is the best site for general info:

Lextreme

Its a big toss up for me weather to go Toyota V8 from the 1uzfe or Subaru with the EJ20T.

In the end i think its EJ20T parts availability, economy and ease to modify that has it.
No doubt the 1uzfe is a serious contender especially with it being so advanced, cheap, easily acquired and only approx. 700mm x 700mm x 700mm in physical dimensions.

Good luck and please keep us posted

Ryan

yeah or 350....... by the time you stuff around getting the toyota one to work you could be on the road. Or you could use a c4 like Max but you know what happens to them then again is it for a race car or the road

I have heard people say that the gearbox is a real dog, very tempramental when not used with the stock ecu.
I dont know anything about it myself so....

I just purchased a 1UZFE and Trans on the weekend and found the trans to be rather small and light!

I could pick it up and move it myself and id have to guess its weight to be around 80kg.
Not real heavy or big for and auto trans designed for a strong powerful engine.

hi seagull
in the jan 05 issue of aust street rodding there is a company (castlemaine rodshop PH; 03 5472 2853 or www.rodshop.com.au ) that developed a bolt on kit to fit GM powerglide, turbo 350, 400 and 700 to the 1JZGE, 1JZGTE, 2JZGE AND 2JZGTE MOTORS. i know they are a 6 cyl but there might not be that much dif between the motors or there could be a v8 adaptor in the pipeline
anyway give those guys a call they are pretty clued up on conversions.
cheers
