Hay guys,

I have pictures of my 4ltr, Toyota V8, 1UZFE conversion.

Just need someone, somewhere reliable to host them.
If anyone is interested in hosting the pictures please email me: V8kombi@hotmail.com

Cheers
Ryan

why not put them up on cardomain.com for example?

i would love to see a lexus 32valve quad cam v8 in a kombi, i have had thoughts about this in a bay but never more, just make a photobucket site n post em there dude, thats what i did n its easy enough...

Mate I am in need for a starter motor for a toyota if you did not use it .
love to see it as we talked about it for some time , neil

Are you using a VW tranny? What sort? What gears?

Conversion being done by the one and only Debiasi of SA.

seagull:
Starter wasnt in any condition for use to anyone.

pete wood
Transmission: Manual changed over to a 2ltr Bay Auto, rebuit by CBB, Line pressures adjusted, new planetary, seals, Stall converter adjusted.

Ill give Photobucket a go as im not a fan of car domain.

mate the starter would be good to me as have that motor in our jet boat .
Please U2U your phone number to me

Pictures of my Bay thanks to Photobucket

Perfect fit with only minor adjustments.

Just getting the engine hatch louvered. Then a full custom exhaust and an ECU.
Expected to be on the road by July.

The bottom of the sump is only about an inch lower than the original 2ltr sat.

Bought a set of Phonedials yesterday. They are getting restored at the moment too.

what was this 1uz out of? A toyota soarer, celsior or crown?

Hi Fozee....does the V8 interfere with the fuel tank?

looks slow lol

In perth we have raced this motor for 4 years .To date the only thingsto fail was coil pack & a spark plug lead & the starter motor .This is after braking a few 9" diffs & c4 autos , cvs .tail shaft .

dude how did you make the engine lid in the cabin so big? boilermaker do that work did they? looks good

kevo:
Unique Fabrication has done all the body work so far and will do all the rest.

rocknrob:
Fuel tank isnt any interference. Just removed the malamine fire wall. Im told from a reliable source that it can stil be engineered without the malamine fire wall.

urban_myth:
I believe the engine is from a Crown. Not that it really matters between the each car. Main difference between a Lexus Celsior or Soarer, Toyota Crown and what ever year it is, is the placement of the sump and later models have the sequential injection and or vvti, and a maximum variation of 5-10kw.
Like youd notice a 5kw difference in a kombi. hehe

555bug:
My dream is to acheive an everyday drivable and reliable 13 sec Quart.
The plans for Eaton forced induction are being put together in my mind. The key is to keep it looking stock as possible.

My Mate has just super charged this motor in his jet boat , goes very good

Just have to sort out the radiator fill up tank and the airbox.
The engine is all set and ready for the Autronic SM4 to be installed.
2.25" Stainless system installed two months ago.
Have a set of phone dials at home to be resprayed.

you'll have to post some more recent pics.

great engine choice 6 bolt mains 200kw add forced induction 450kw easy .autronic ecu another excellent had won in a previous car and very well priced.

Not all are 6 bolt mains
My mate has a super chaged one in a boat , eaton M90 it did not like the bloweron there at all .
The race car ( stock motor ) has just 200kw at the wheels

I can get full front cuts for $2500.00

im pretty sure they are all 6 bolt mains neil?


i was looking into this before as for a while there i went off the subie ej20t idea and was gonna pursue
an old cortina and put a single turbo 1uzfe in it..mm...maybe as a race car. (drag)


Anthony

a guy in the states run a P.S.I twin screw supercharger massive amount of work on the motor hp2500:thumb
a company in perth their soarer positive feed supercharger 450kw.

And also a gent in perth runs a Camira (I think) drag car, twin turbo 1UZFE (wouldnt that make it a 1UZFETT ? ) which makes a nice healthy 1000kw ..... was in zoom about 6 or 8 months ago.

The one I looked at floodys work shop did not

Just picked up an Optima Blue cap battery and new ignition barrel.
New water pump, bearings, cam belt, distributor caps and rotors arrived too.
Tommorrow i will find out when they can take the Bus in for the ECU install and finishing touches.

i think we will all keep a close eye on this project

keep the photos coming mate

Not getting an Autronic.
Have decided on a notec M48 CLubman.
The bus is getting towed on monday to the Jaustech workshop to begin the job.
They have a big job ahead:
Sorting all the electric and converting wiring to Fuel Injection.
Fitting the Radiator filler bottle, resealing the sump, fitting the air intake.
Fitting new water pump, serpentine belt and bearings.

shouldn't be too long before another VEEDUB is brought back to life
most of the job is done, it just sounds like the last bits now

good luck
