1UZ-FE into 80 Series Landcruser?

**oldcorollas** · 19-04-2007, 02:25 PM

4L 8 vs 4L 6.
the 8 will have 1 more power stroke per revolution, 4.
the 6 will have 1 less power stroke per revolution, 3.
but.. the size of the power stroke of the 8 cylinder will be smaller.

regardless of number of cylinders, the torque output will be basically the same (if the design is same and only number of cylinders is changed.. yeah a stretch i know)
say.. 400Nm... for an 8, thats 50Nm per pot. for a 6, thats 67Nm/pot.

whislt you may have a point if you said a 4L 1 cylinder vs an 8 cylinder... 6 vs 8 is not much difference.

4cyl bikes? so they can have shorter strokes and more revs

yes it is also to do with smoothing things out.. but there is a big difference between 1 power stroke per revolution and 2... there is not so big a difference between 3 and 4 (even between 2 and 4, since car engines have flywheels)

You can always count on oldcorollas to inject some sense and logic into a thread.

On Topic - Stick with 4.5L six and turbocharge. MS-75's results speak for themselves.

2 tonnes with the aerodynamics of a brick may also be a factor here

I am agreeing with all. 1uz's in 1500kg cars are slugs if you ask me. Putting them in 2000kg cars with no FI is a waste of time. I couldn't spend all that money to make the car basically the same just for a different exhaust note.

Precisely. And if you really really wanted the exhaust note you could at least put a bigger engine in there, I hate to say it but the LS1 would be the obvious choice. 1UZ is going backwards.

Methinks there's too much "power stroking" going on in this thread.

This has turned into quite a funny thread and i feel partly resposible... All good points and thanks for all the imput.. Im thinking now that we should leave it alone and get a better car, lol.. All that argument for nothing.. I Agree that the 1UZ is a bit of a back step when talking cubes but it would be so cool but like Chris Davey said not worth it for the money..

I think getting a turbo deisel one and tuning it would be fun.. Might go down that road..

Thanks again for all the imput and sorry starting such a stir..

Thanks,

Pisso.

You mean turbo diesel Chev or turbo diesel Landcruiser engine? Old school 1HZ = pile of crap, 1HD = good thing.

Also, I probably wouldn't bother with an LS1 either - due to their head design, intakes, etc. then they don't have the truck qualities of the old school 350's at all.

However, why not put in a 'mans' engine?

Thanks,

The Landcruiser auto transmission (A442F) being a 4 speed with lock up came in both an electronic model and a non-electronic version. The non-electronic version was only run for 18 months and is probably the one to use if you were to do an engine change. With a valve body kit they are good for plenty of torque.

When I went to pick up the 1FZ I briefly considered using the cruiser trans as well-until I saw that was nearly as big as the motor itself!!! It makes a Getrag look like a powerglide!!!

If the 1FZ in it is flogged out, you and your dad could save big $$ but pulling it out and co-ordinating the recon yourself. Youll learn a bunch just by doing that-and get a lot of satisfaction out of it. There are enough guys on here who can purchase parts at cost one way or another-including getting the 1FZ workshop manual (I have it-it's very good).

Anyway-just a thought mate.
