Correction - 1UZ and 3UZ technically have 6 bolt main caps, not 4 bolt main caps. They have two side bolts per cap which I completely forgot about when writing this 😐 (mistakes happen).
Same as 2UZ
I am planning to install IUZ or 3UZ for my cruiser 1969 ford mustang. Which engine you would recommend?
I am not looking for high horsepower but would enjoy some torque.
Also, planning to install the Ford Cobra supercharger in the future.
Both full engines can be found relatively cheap and will to search for the best year and configuration.
Planning to make it 5 speed manual too using Hilux R155F transmission with 2006 Camry V6 flywheel and clutch ..etc.
Any recommendation would help 😊
Hideous? LOL! I just got an '06 SC430 and love that car. I drive it more than I do my RX350. Smooth. Quiet. Powerful. Top goes down. Leather/wood inside looks great!
@@thaieralawadh2223 3Uz with 1UZ rods.
@@paulbaerwald8055 only the 89-94 had the stronger rods, 95 and up 1uz has smaller rods
That first generation of 1UZ was so over built. It's truly an underrated engineering home run. There's not really much negative to be said about it.
Trying to get a gs400 that would be great
The vvti version has a better head, comoression and the cam scissor is closer to the pulley. The only downside is the vvti has weaker rods
@@MegaGingerpimp first gen has forged pistons and a stronger block I’m pretty sure
Replacing the starter is a pain in the ass tho
@@elijahjohnson58721994 has the strongest rods.
To summarize
Go for a 1UZ for Boost Builds
Avoid the 2UZ for any Builds
Enjoy the 3UZ For N/A Builds
Not that im biased owning a LS430 but i would say the 3uz give the best middle ground between HP/Torque is met by the 3UZ
It's the best for ITB's and sounds the best when combined with Equal length headers and a x pipe (maserati 4700 vibes)
Agreed. 2uz is an amazing engine with some basic bolt ons but should be left at that.
Great video explaining these uz engines. My 98' gs400 with 1uzfe has been an awesome everyday driver past 10 yrs. now with 228k miles. it's still so smooth, powerful, & reliable.
I have had a '98 GS400 for the last 18 years, at 230k currently. I just had a second timing belt done. The engine is still as smooth as butter and power is always on tap...Great cars!
You caught the main caps that are 6 bolt, but also one important distinction about the difference between 1UZ heads and 3UZ heads is the flow. 1UZ flow 125cfm per cylinder in stock form which is dismal. 3UZ heads flow 236cfm per cylinder stock form which is over double. You can only make so much power with 125cfm. Even with boost. HRE in NZ got 270cfm out of a ported 1UZ head to make 500WHP N/A. He told me he got over 300cfm out of a 3UZ head and with revised compression ratios could hit ~600WHP N/A with ITB's and good headers.
Great video! I own two SC400s (one with VVTI) and owned a LS430. Great engines and glad to learn more about them.

Love it dude !!! Absolutely awesome 😎
Awesome !
Loved the video
I love my 98' LS400....230k miles and still smooth😎
My classic first car the 1990 Lexus ES250 had the legendary 2VZ-FE. V6 DOHC 160hp 160ft lb torque and ran that son of a gun over 300k with basic maintenance. Piston rings weren't exactly in the best condition towards the end so when going downhill then reaching the bottom of a hill and launching from a flat start it definitely blew a blue puff of smoke but that just gave it character. Vave guides were somehow not leaking. It also had the rare 5 speed manual which I did have to replace the flywheel and clutch which is normal but the synchros were going out from 2nd to 3rd so it was a 2 second shift. Some kids threw a bunch of rocks at it at night and it totalled it out. It was my first car many many years ago and it hurt when I had to replace it, but I traded it in for a 2006 G35s coupe. Kept the shifter knob and will always keep that thing until I loose it.
Damn man can’t believe someone would throw rocks at a car like that and total it, sucks man. I recently got my first car and it has a 3VZ-FE which I’ve heard is a great engine. It only has 52k miles so I hope it lasts as long as yours did.
@@Michael-mb3qr change ur timing belt, water pump, sparkplugs, oil and filter, air filter and that thing wont ever act up again for a while
Just so you know, the “Terminator Cobra” supercharger is an Eaton M112. It was also used in some Mercedes sports cars and the SVT lighting.
Nice explanation. Knew about the 1UZ long ago, recently learned about the 3UZ and asked myself which was better. Thanks!
Sometimes your camera loses focus a bit, maybe switch to manual focus since you‘re not moving much. :)
So which one is better to you 🤔
It’s all about the classic 2VZ-FE! Straight from my first car the Lexus ES250 5 speed. Oh my first love ❤️
Man I love your channel!!! I hope to seeing you make a video about Honda’s 1.5L turbo engine?!!! L15be in the Accord and the L15b7 in the Civic. Thanks 🙏
Big Like, You Deserve It Dude
Thanks.
Love it when you cover Toyotas
Great video, Thanks. One thing id like to add is that on the 1uz the switch from non interference to interference was actually in 95 with the increase of compression not when they added vvti in 97. So the only non interference uzs are the 94 and older models.
Great content, use much more cutaways?
Thanks for the info regarding the UZ engine. I plan on swapping the 1uzfe into my 86' Isuzu Trooper since @Johnny5ive has done this conversion already.
Yo 3uz gang where you at
Here mate
Yup
Here
Thanks for ten video. I was very interested in learning about these engines as my dream is to swap on into my 1996 4Runner. The thing is I wonder which engine will pair the best to a manual as I want to use my factory 5 speed manual and transfer case. I know people make bell housing adapter which will bolt up to all of 3 of the UZ engines but I’m unsure on the electronics side as Ive heard that the 2uz and 3uz are a more of a pain to convert to manual and will always have a CEL
Thanks bro
Great vid! I'm currently swapping a 3uz into a little British coupe (a 1972 vauxhall firenza)
How's the project?
@@submariner144 there was a change of plans, I'm now using an LS1... I do still have the 3uz so I might put it in something else
@@HexyTech ah LS1, nice choice. Do you have any documentation of your Firenza project? Maybe on Instagram, Blogspot, etc.?
Nice 👍!!
The 90-94 1UZs (big rod engines) were non-interference, the 95+, regardless of vvti or not, are all interference engines.
What about 5.7L Is it 3UZ or what?
in many Toyota tracks Tundra ,Land cruiser, Lexus etc..??
@@wldmhd The 5.7L is part of the UR Engine family that replaced the UZ family. It consists of the 1UR-FE (4.6L), 2UR-GSE (5.0L), and your 3UR-FE (5.7L).
nice, didnt know this, i guess 94 1uz swap is the way to go then for non interference, unless aiming for newer for vvti + more hp
@@wldmhd 3UZ is 4.3l, 2UZs were the 4.7l found in trucks and SUVs. Toyota preferred to keep a ironblock in them over a aluminum block.
That was an misinformation in the video. I hope nobody had to find it out the hard way after a broken timing belt.
Спасибо,доступно и по существу
Please make a video about the Toyota UR, imo it's the most interesting V8 to ever come out of Japan (if not then the Nissan VK would do)

@@apprenticefelix7740 I know it's a hot V, though kinda interested with the N74, the V12 with 2 turbos
Great video, very informative. I am looking for an engine to swap in a 80 Series Landcruiser and considering this or the BMW M57 or N57 diesel because it has to have the ZF8hp transmission, would you consider a video on one of those BMW engines?
When are we going to get a video on the bmw m60/62/tu? Id love to here you talk about them and go into depth about their strength and weaknesses
It would be a very one sided video
You gonna do a video on the CA18DET? Which I'm actually gonna flick out of my S13 and swap it with either a 1UZ or 3UZ , perhaps 3UZ as good 1UZs are starting to get difficult to obtain, in the EU at least, without some searching and importing from outside of the EU.
Love my Lexus/Toyota products but that 90s 5.7 was a force to be reckoned with even to this day in terms of reliability
Would be great to see a breakdown of the various VW VR engines. Great sound and surprisingly good fuel efficiency for such a big engine displacement
lmao "majesty". great vid tho
In the end result, which motor swap out of all of the uzs should I purchase for power??
Thumbs up !
Can you do a video on the UR engine family? 1UR-FSE, 2UR-FSE, 3UR-FSE, 2UR-GSE
2URGSE used in the Lexus ISF 2008-2014, Lexus RCF 2014-2021, Lexus GSF, Lexus LC500 2017-2022, Lexus IS500 2021/2022
Please a vid on the UR family
I love my 98' LS400, 230k miles still smooth as a baby's....😵
Toyota should have put the 1UZ-FE in the fourth generation Supra. I know why they didn't but that's fine. I've seen plenty of Supras with this swap and there's nothing like a throaty V8 rumble coming from these cars.
Hope to build a car with one of these engines one day. (:
How much HP can a stock 3uz-fe push safely?
Can you do a video on the FZ engine from a 1996-1997 Toyota Land Cruiser?
I've seen people go 500 whp on a stock 1uzfe vvtti but I would not go any higher without bulletproofing the engine a little more, he said 1000hp and that is easily achievable with a 1uzfe vvti if you know what your doing but you will need some sort of forged internals, having said i love my 2000 gs 400 with the 1uzfe vvti it is definitely one of the most reliable and fun engines to build
Oh yea definitely achievable with a built bottom end!
Coming from a ls guy. I'm intrigued
Hi guys? Please help me.. crean shaft of 1uz and 2uz is same or different? Thanks.
Nice can we get a vid on the ford triton family
I've been thinking about a Ford Triton for a future build. I've heard the early ones have issues wearing spark plugs fast but later gen resolves it
@@darquille there was also a early problem with a plastic timing ajuster wearing fast and the engine grenading itself
I have the same shirt 😂 ride on bro. Costco
Plesea do have any crankshaft_conrod bearing _and main bearing for V8 petrol engine 100 series..please I need it..
11:14 isn’t it the Crown Majesta?
Can u tell me 1uz fe and 1uz fe vvti engines weight
I'm Here!
I have a 1976 Toyota celica gt . Liftback . I’m looking for the best engine swap . What you recommend for good horsepower upgrade
Does the 5.7 in my tundra have much in common with the uz engines or is it a new design
The UR series is the successor to the UZ series
If I have a 2uz in a 02 sequoia could I fit a turbo
Would be so cool to swap one of these in my es300
would it fit? in transverse style
What’s the best way to swap a 1uz from automatic to manual transition?
I’ve seen the Nissan z trans (cd0009?-I think it is) used because it’s strong and cheap to replace
I would love to swap a 1UZ into my 1st gen 4runner.
I just did make some popcorn.
This engine support extra power? Like supercharger?
Can l use a 3uz in my landcruiser instead of the 2uz without any medications?
Sooo, for daily use or putting in supercharger for lets say 350ish horsepower, the 1uz and 3uz doesnt have much difference?
1uz build prior to 9/94 are non interference... after that, still non VVTI, but interference. Difference to look for, non interference have coils whose tower points up, fuel rails are thick block billet... interference 1uz has coils pointing horizontal, fuel rails are cast aluminum.
i read that the 2UZ in the gx470 and the 4runner which are made in Japan have a stronger bottom end than the 2UZ built in the U.S. i would really like your input on this.
Source please?
I don't believe you.
@@1malikalik look it up. I'm not your parent.
@@jameskocks4734
Wooooh, hold up now. Don't come at me sideways bro. The JDM vs American made has been settled. I got a SEQUOIA MADE IN USA with over 400k miles so am not sure what you mean.
Please support your argument and stop ovulating
@@1malikalik with that response you like yourself are menstrual. Look dude 4runners have been built in Japan since the beginning. The Lexus version is also built in Japan. I love this country they're better built over there. Stop whining. Sequoias are kick ass trucks too.
Now now men…. The only difference between Japanese made 89-2002 is the piston rods are heavier duty vs. American made there after. As long as you don’t go stick a supercharger in there with a small pulley same thing… but different.
Make a video about 1mz engine
Is the 1uz a good engine for a drift car and maybe turbo as well?
Take 2jz
Yea, I’ve heard the Nissan cd0009 Z trans is a good choice for drifting because it’s strong and cheap to replace
@@arabiasouth7360 eww overrated engine
Qual e o melhor motor
Which one is the best to turbo???🤔
Is a 1992 Lexus ls 400 1UZ-FE engine an interference engine?I just paid to have the engine replaced due to the belt breaking. I have a feeling I got scammed the engine only had 124 k miles on it. Thanks
I'm surprised that the internals of the 2uz were bot as strong as the 1uz when it was built for truck and suv applications. Was gonna swap a 2uz into my troopy but looks like 1uz is the way forward
Also 2UZ are not as plentiful I think...
Only in the USA so us non mericans can’t get em much at all
Broke 265k miles on 2uzfe today. Thing just doesn’t wanna die. ZERO issues it’s just insane compared to my 215k mile E70 M57😂😂
I got a 4runner with a 2uz and ls 430 3 uz now I need a ls400 lol
2uz is used in Landcruiser. Two documented examples with 1 million miles
2uz❤️
SC430 FTW!
Yeah this guy has no idea what he's talking about calling it "hideous"
100% Bum status
I have the 4.3 quick
I love you bro. Thank you
at south east asia crown and aristo using 2jz btw
as an option for the region not standard for all regions.
How does the Japanese v8 stack up against v8 from Europe and the states?
What's the best v8 from japan
Bmw v8 are cool and neat but a no form me' but mercedes v8 i will buy "use" and hoon with
@@apprenticefelix7740 german engines just too complex in there designs
I stay away from BMW V8s because of all their problems which are inevitably gonna present themselves...valve stem seals, the valley pan cover gasket, excessive oil consumption, ALL kinds of other engine leaks, and premature engine component failure, rod bearing failure, throttle body actuator on some engines, damn plastic chain guides like who thought that was a good idea (I guess you could replace them with something else besides plastic). Parts are expensive and how they are built and the cars around them they are not DIY friendly. Reportedly N62 is one of the worst.
They dont really stack up like the german ones do. Cause you know, the japanese ones are still in their cars running and the germans are literally stacked up in yards or sheds.
@@REAPER3fitty ahhahahahahahahaha nice so ttue
Hold up, you can put a mustang terminator supercharger on the toyota motor? Time to research
If an engine with a shorter stroke make hp higher up. Why does the 89 Mustang GT (3 inch) peak at 4200 rpm? The 2011 5.0 GT (3.65 inch) and peak at 6500 rpm.
Better head
@@gava7691 Better heads will increase hp but they don't control where the engine make peak hp. Before you say I'm wrong. Think about this. An 89 5.0 made 225 hp @ 4200 rpm. People added superchargers and the engine made 300 hp but it still peaked @ 4200 rpm.
Nisan had two entirely different engine family that competed at this time. U kinda messed upm also Nissan lowerred the power to 278 on the one u refer on paper, to meet gentleman agt in Japan 280max hp. It was over 300 in reality
The 2UZ crank has 1 less main bearing than the 1UZ-3UZ making it impossible use the 4.7 crank so there aren't any "stroker" 3UZ Engines out there.
Can you swap a 2UZ in a LS430?
why would you
Dude,,,
The SC430 is a beautiful and very underrated car, you must overflow with taste and a bit of class to see this.. this video is good and I was enjoying it until that statement lol but, it’s your opinion.
Still I enjoyed and learned a bit. 👍🏾
Anyone know why 2nd gen ls400 made more hp than the 1st gen?
The lighter rotating assembly they put in for 95 and 96. Thinner rods that aren't good for boost. If boosting and not building the bottom end you want a 89 to 94 1uz
Now to the 1 yousee or 2 yousee, or maybe 3 yousee
just to make a correction, 1990-1994 1UZ = Non interference. 1995-1997 Non VVTI = interference. 1998+ VVTi = interference. There is tons of confusion on it, but there are the facts. Lexus/toyota can confirm. More years are interference than not.
Thanks I was confused for a second first thing I’m doing when I buy my ls400 is replacing the timing belt
1UZ UNDEFEATED
1UR>1UZ. 1UR 5.7L 380HP 400Tq. The Tundra is a beast. I love my truck. I also drive a late model SC400, but it can't compare to the Tundra.
@ShawnDon 97 What are you like 8 years old with that lame insult. Grow up FFS.
Your wrong about the 2 bolt mains. Exact same design as the 2JZ. Tell me that bottom end is weak lol
Only the 2UZ was FE. The other two were aluminum blocks….
Lmfao i love the sc430😒😒😂😂
IDK why Toyota would use a bomb proof cast iron block with such a weak bottom end.
Psh drop her a lip kit and the sc becomes quite pretty .
It’s majesta not majesty
majesty is wrong.
majesta is correct. This is a coined word by Japanese.
The ur engine family is better.
