Awesome! Something very different! The 1uz-fe is under appreciated in the car world. Feel free to post some links to how it moves!

Classic New Zealand!!

Turbo 1UZ is an interesting build. Drift car? Or justhe want the power and needed extra came tuning with the custom LCAs?
KNaph
Extra camber*
trls250s
Do everything car, I enjoy drifting, my dad likes drag racing so it was built for both
ASquare
I'm amazed you could fit at turbo uz in that bay. I'm looking at a 5.3 vortec TT for my mk3 supra and it's gonna be tight..
igodown
Wicked build man, kiwis and cars.. +1nz
HyrulianJedi
That's gorgeous! Is the 1UZ under it's stock compression? And, what are you boosting?
RockPaperPenis
Nice! I liked how you modified the lower control arms to have built in camber adjustments.
trls250s
Its actually to do the opposite haha

Nice rim-job OP

Never encountered this toyota @OP but thats probably cuz I'm from America. Nice build, and great attention to detail. You should be proud!
trls250s
Thanks, this body is the same as a RA64 Celica with a different front end on in. It was only released in the Japanese market
smilesmakeeverythingbetter
I like it. Personally my fav celicas are the 73-75 and 76, but this one has a good look too. Good stuff man.

Man I was gonna skip this, but I'm currently building a new PC and I thought, "This guy is probably as, if not more, passionate about (1/3)
Thefakeplant
cars than I am about computers." So I went through it, tried to understand what was going on, realized that you put way more effort (2/3)
Thefakeplant
into this project that I can into 50 computer builds. I thoroughly enjoyed that, and the admiration that came afterwards. (3/3)
trls250s
Thanks dude, means a lot. It was a team effort

@OP not gonna lie. I came a little. Amazing job dude and I thought my Corolla Levin
Gandalfthefab
*Was cool
Mystraya
What kind of Levin? AE92, AE101, AE111? or AE86?
GetTheFudgesOffMyLawnNow
Questions that need answering. My brother has an AE111 and it's great.
ahabjr
Aww yeah build aint complete until sick rims.
trls250s
2 Sets too, semi slicks and road tires
ahabjr
Noice.

Seriously, though, that's a good build. Do you have a writeup of the process?
trls250s
No not yet, may do one

Please do!

Frozen boost water to air, and a Civic Type R aluminium radiator, fitting a air to air would mean cutting up to much car

Most people who aren't really into cars aren't going to understand how amazing this is and how much work this is to do. Kudos.

1UZ
undungubungu
I dont know shit about cars. But can the chassis of that engine cope with the suped up power? Isnt there structural weaknesses?
trls250s
Car is fitted with a rollcage for this very reason, has under body bracing as well
undungubungu
Ah cool. I take it you upgraded the brakes n such too?

Literally first thing I think on pic one, "This is going to be a Kiwi, I can feel it..."

Nice job man! If someone wants to get into this with zero knowledge, what's a good place to start?

Buy a Civic. Lack of knowledge never stopped someone from modifying their Civic, believe me.

How's with traction? Are first and second gear at least exist? Also, I need to hear that beast.
trls250s
3rd gear looses traction on boost, cruising at 20kph. Car is running 235 Nitto semi slicks. Traction is a serious issue. Videos soon
JustLetMeComment
Any chance of fitting wider tires?
yoGhurrt1
Third gear, ouch. Sounds like there will be additional steps in this project. Also, put somewhere link when vids will be on the net.

A real sleeper that one. Nice work.
whitewater0034
The slicks give it away a little bit for a sleeper though. I would see those and think "hmm!"

What size is that engine?
trls250s
4 Litre, being turbo charged it puts out 470hp, and the car weighs 990kg or 2200lb's

You should share this with mighty car mods. They're car dudes from Australia and do lots of stuff like this

Nice, im going to chuck one in my mx73 cressida

Is it the toyota 4 litre v8 from the century, or a more modern motor from a toyexus?

Popular in soarer and crowns. Great engine. Is the centry the one off v12 toyota?

I'm doing a 1UZ swap in my 3rd gen 4Runner right now! I was afraid of posting too for the same reason- everyone seems to like D&D and anime.

Is it AWD,RWD or FWD?

I would guess its rear, I cant see an axle boot on the picture of the front wheel hub.

Yeha I assumed but the pic with the 2 axles kinds threw me off.
trls250s
Rwd
fearandloathinginaz
RWD. I'm doing the same swap into a 1UZ in a 4Runner and I combined the 1UZ tranny with the 4Runner one so I will have 4WD
Zocram
Sweet mechanical jesus please upload that too

I'm not a member of any forums so I guess I will upload it here... As far as I know I'm one of the few people in the US to do it.

What year is the 4runner? I have a 99 5 speed and would like to swap its 4cil engine to something bigger.

How does it handle with the extra weight in front ??

Ignore the down votes man. Imgur isn't very gearhead friendly from what I've experienced either. Great job and keep up the sweet build.

Apparently Imgur is more concerned about gender fluid equality than kick-ass shit like this lately. We need more of this

UZs are great motors, but the LS is so popular because it's compact and light. Hating on LS motors is silly.
trls250s
In New Zealand you can get a 1uz for $600 USD with everything, an LS is $4000 USD. More parts available to us too for the 1u
RobandtheBLT
Where are you in NZ?
Deadmetal42
Not hating on the LS, it's one hell of a motor. I just prefer Japanese engines in Japanese cars.

Doing a 5.3 Vortec TT on my mk3 supra soon. Shooting for 600whp. It's just a better motor all around. Would liek to keep in family though.:(

They're great engines, but are overused as fuck. Everybody and their brother has an LS or turbo LS
aPurpleLiger
That sounds like a pretty hipster thing to say, but I dislike torq thrust wheels for that reason so what do I know
HnngRightInTheFeels
I'mma go with: Probably because it works.

That they can be still be had in the US under $1000 (iron block and 'broken in') certainly helps.

The only reason I don't like the LS engines are the looks of the intakes. Tuned Port Injection best look all the time.
