These are courtesy of Jamie H., the man with the spastic 1UZ-FTE TA22......

finally there is some information which people can start to use to realistically think about getting their hands on the penultimate toyota motor...... rather than just idlly dreaming...

That would sit rather nicely up the front of my JZA80....maybe one day in the very distant future. Good info and pics though Karl.

ahh, i love the casting work on the side of the block

makes it stand out...if you didn't already notice the 12 cylinders.... orright i'm just a metallurgical nerd

the thermostat/radiator outlet/inlet is pretty trick too.. not that you could find many of them to use anyway but....

Stu, don't bother trying to snap a photo of the motor in a Century engine bay.

**Alchemist** · 18-09-2005, 11:08 PM

Hate stupid engine covers like that

I'd still like something saying V12 in my engine bay though....

ahh thats crap.. they didn't even have one on display at megaweb..... it's not like they cost _that_ much......

bah - that's a two bolt removal job - EASY!!!

Im looking forward to seeing some more progress from the V12 'rod.... and perhaps some other cars with 1GZ-FEs in the near future

Edited post!

must stop drooling and do some work. I would love to see the old Ford V8 badge replicated with a V12 logo.
That machine is really going to keep the Bogans in a state of bewilderment.

Hmm cars that would mate up nicely to a 1GZFTTE? My Corolla for starters!

by memory soemoen said that the motor is skinnier not as long yet a bit taller than a 1uzfe
actual measurements of both compared side by side would be nice
also weight woudl be an interesting one

Neil,

The tape measure in the pics above should be your first clue as to the size of a 1GZ-FE

A wookies guide to the 1UZ-FE would be that it is a 700mm cube.

My soarer after it goes BHG!

I know what that old car with the 1gz needs.. ITBs and trumpets. a pair of GTR runners should be a good start.

edit: and if this is the penultimate, what's the ultimate?
