That engine turn on the stand was the best I've ever seen. Ten years as a Toyota mechanic, I've only ever replaced two starters in that location, they're there on the 1VD too. Very reliable motors.
"She's a gusha" love it. Those heads looked pretty good considering the later part of that UZ motors life. I really looking forward to the end result. Top stuff Scotty and Crew.
Starter situation is frigging nuts! Also you have some white friggin knees mate! I mean I work nightshift and my knees aren't even that white 🤣 good luck with the build buddy 🤙
I remember when auto V8 Soarers were like $2500 landed, complied, licensed and registered back in the early-mid 2000s, they were fucking EVERYWHERE. With their drivers absolutely baffled trying to figure out the Japanese labels for the HVAC and entertainment systems in the car and just giving up and plugging in a Discman to listen to tunes! They were fairly nice bits of kit until the air suspension died though, great cruisers.
Loving this! People dont realize how much of a PAIN it is to get the wiring, intake manifold off. I spent the better part of a day getting all that off to do a starter one time. Took me a few days to replace the starter, needless to say I opted to buy the most expensive starter I could find!
I have had a set of those dual action sockets (that you have )for more than 7 years, and use them everyday in the automotive trade. I have just broken the first one the 10mm deep socket. they are the best socket set i have had the pleasure to own in the 33 plus years I have been working. as a mechanic. I have no complaints for the service that it gave.
Good video, looking forward to subsequent. As a 1UZ-FE engine owner, I'd be re-building the starter for sure, it's common for a few little parts in it to wear out, it will begin to intermittently click and not engage then it will give up the ghost altogether. Same with the alternator, common fault on these after a while is that the power steering pump o-rings fail and fluid drips into the alternator.
21:48 I had a giggle at the totally unnecessary 'SUPPORTED BY RYOBI' as if that wasn't clearly evident throughout the video. Great job though, thoroughly entertaining and very relaxed approach.
Keep the videos up Scotty! great work. I remember adding longtube headers to my 1UZ Soarer back in the day, they sounded awesome and made it a ton more responsive - those factory block hugger extractors are really awful. Seems to me Toyota choked these engines up, adding FE heads rather than GE, adding an overly restrictive exhaust setup too. They were going for smooth and refined - but they can be woken up!
In Japan they have strict government HP restrictions, so detuning their engines via restricted bolt-ons is/was very common practice. That's why JZ's and RB's can be woken right up with just bolt-ons alone.
@@Twenty_Six_Hundred Hell, you used to be able to make an SR20 in an S15 200SX/Silvia go from ~150 flywheel kW to ~250 wheel kW with just a turbo-back exhaust, a front-mount, an intake, a set of injectors and a fuel pump, winding the factory boost limit up to 21 PSI, and a dyno tune for 98 octane. And as long as you didn't decide to be a diftyboi and limiterbash the thing all day long, you'd get a good long life out of it if you kept full synthetic oil and a quality filter on the engine every 5000 kms.
I had one of these 15 odd yrs ago with itbs, hurricane headers 2.5 inch exhaust and single coils with a tune. never set the world on fire power wise but the sound of the Itbs was amazing. could have used bigger cams and a bit of a head job but didn't have the money at the time. Good to see another engine in your garage.
Hi. When you pull the sump on a used engine it is always a good idea to do it with the engine the right way up. that way any debris stays in the sump instead of falling back in amongst the moving parts like the crank and rods etc. Cheers MD
What you reckon rods and bearings would be worth since you’ve gone this far? 280k on motor plus I can just see it as a paddock basher foot to the floor bouncing off cut out with questionable oil (because who cares about decent oil in a paddock basher) sucking down dust. If it’s being boosted with a ton more power might be worth going that step further to avoid heartache
Definitely worth getting Al and Woody's engine builder mate to give the engine a good going over with a set of rods and pistons, that way you can be sure it'll make and take 800 flywheel horsepower and limiter bash all day long.
Thanks Street Machine for signing off on Carnage budget to build this motor 💪🇦🇺👍 Imagine if Toyota did this back in the day even without a turbo. We are looking forward to see what the TRD boys should have taken on as their first entry to the race-bread/ performance car market.
Starter under the inlet manifold is fine - when was the last time you changed the starter on a Camry? Yeah, didn't think so. If they're specced right a starter should last as long as the engine, half a million kays easy.
Great work as always Scotty! Love your vids, always fun and educational (mostly heh). P.S. I have one of those Ryobi vac's and they are fucking great, literally the best vacs to use for anything like this. Keep up the good stuff mate!
@@DATONALKY they still do, but not everything is a billion dollar development. I've not owned a Toyota that has been a car where I wouldn't trust it to drive to Jupiter and back several times.
You think that starter motor location it bad Scotty, my 92 Holden Jackaroo has the Isuzu 6VD1 3.2L V6 and the starter motor is attached to the side of the engine, and with the lack of space the quickest way to replace it comes down to 2 choices, remove the engine or the gearbox. I've had the gearbox out twice now and it "looks" easier to remove the engine instead. Good car to drive, not good on fuel. Absolutely kicks you in the ass if you have to work on anything but oil and brakes, replacing the alternator was a mission, rocker cover seals were a several hour mission (involved removing intake plenum, raising the back of the gearbox a bit and removing clutch master cylinder). The timing belt wasn't too bad, I wish the alternator had shit itself just before I did the timing belt cause I had all the room in the world to do it then.
It's all fun and games and lots of laughs while you disassembling the engine. We'll see how funny it is on reassembly. Yeah. Lots of laughs then. ... LOL
I’ve been looking forward to seeing you crack on with this project Scotty and I really can’t wait to see what sort of power she makes once installed into her new home.
Hey I have a few ideas for this build, Name: Lexen Majesta could adapt the cool soarer instrument cluster and shifter into the car? extra bonus points if you can use the soarer wheels
Mmmmmm, Turbo 1UZ 😊 Shame it's going in a Commode 😛 Might be worth whacking new bearings in the mains n rods just so you're starting with the least amount of oil leakage in the bottom end.
Oh, and trust me, I've broken almost every one of my 3/8 to 1/2 crossovers trying to use a 3/8 socket on a highly torqued bolt when I should've went straight for the 1/2 socket...lol
Hey Scotty, what kinda mileage do you get on the KT-26s? I came across a pair a couple of years ago and they ended up nowhere as good as they used to back 30 years ago.
starter motor on my audi a8l and s8 are between manifold and block and frame and engine mount. Takes 5-7 hours on the ground to do it. Done one at 432 000km and mine at 554 000km . So thats pretty much forever. Dunno about the toyota reliability though. Would have been heaps faster under the intake manifold!
make sure you preload those scissor gears before the exhaust cams go back in, rotate the spring loaded part and there's a spot for you to install a bolt to hold them in position while you install them, otherwise they will rattle forever
Engineers weigh up the probability of having to replace the starter (rare) vs packaging into multiple vehicles which is infinitely harder. Great vid and awesome engine.
Scotty you should watch the cartune company's vidos they do alot of 1uzs and also the dizzy/coils fire cylinders on each bank and also the starter is not hard to change lol
They are KT26's - could almost be called modern compared to Volley's! I actually have a pair of volley steel caps in black, the choice of roofers everywhere !
7:00 Not really, when space is tight at the bottom of the engine, the empty valley is a good place for the starter. Having the starter at the bottom of the engine next to the cat is going to be worse due to heat.
Interesting to see how Toyota made these V8, where you see Ford / Chevs / Holden / Mopar etc looks simple compared to them. Looking forward to see your work on it Scotty! 👍
You got to give Toyota credit where credit is due their vehicles are so reliable because of the over engineering and often their designs are ahead of their time and have been for a long time but I would say one thing where the starter is located is a bit of a silly position and if it were me refreshing that engine I would invest in either a new or reco starter to save headaches in the future but most certainly those 1UZ's are strong gutsy v8's
Sadly the starter motors do not last forever - mine failed at 150,000km - it's not impossible, but it destroyed my back and legs leaning over the car - took me a week to recover and this was when I was in my late 20's - so I guess now I'm 47... yeah it's impossible.
Oh, it's surprisingly decent on inside, for a neglected engine. By the way, 1UZ isn't that bad, as some Porsches have their starters inside transmission bellhousings.

My eyes aren't great, but we're you using your torque wrench to undo the harmonic balancer and head bolts? With the money your spending on cams, turbo and accessories, a set of rings, gapped for boost, and bearings, surely won't break the bank?
Not sure if anyone's ever told you this, but never, ever use a torque wrench to undo bolts. It ruins the springs inside, and throws them out of calibration - even if you have it set to the highest setting. It's one of the worst things you can do to them. PLease get it recalibrated, or better yet, replaed, before using it on something critical. I'd hate to see you torque a head up for example, only to have it come loose and cause catastrophic engine failure, then check the torque wrech only to find it is completely out of calibration and that caused the issue.
@@rshep198 switching a ratcheting torque wrench to torque a left handed thread changes the mechanish inside the wrench that pulls on the spring, so even though you're turning the opposite way, the spring is still pulled centrally down the handle.
@@STREETMACHINETV fair call Scotty, and that's better than using it for other uses. Just didn't want to see a failure on something critical because it was way out of spec.

Soarer/SC400 are a "rear" sump, Crown has a mid sump
Well there's another sump that's more rear than this one apparently. We're getting a front sump to go in the Lexcen.
