Let me know if ya'll would like to see more videos like this. Totally new avenue for me. Also, which is your favorite Lexus V8? I think mine would be the 2UR-GSE...unless someone gave me the Supercharged 3UR-FE :D
Never thought I would own a Lexus. Bought a 06’ LS 430 6 months ago and love this car! The smooth power of the engine is crazy! I want a LS600 next or a 570
@@afa6361 So right after I read your comment the first time.. Literally less than an hour later, a white LS 600hL gets flat-bedded to our service drive. My jaw almost hit the floor! That could also explain why we had a pre-owned one in decent condition sit on our lots for months on end. Cheers.
I never thought I'd own a Lexus either (been a German car guy all my life) but after learning the history of the LS and the engineering behind it (and lured by something more reliable =) I also got an 06 LS430 just a couple months ago. One owner, 63k miles. I love it and plan on meticulously maintaining it.
My everyday car for the past 8 yrs. has been my 98' Lexus GS400 with the 1UZFE V8, my car is now 23 yrs. old, has almost 200k miles, & I would not trade it for anything else out there. By the way I've actually driven & sold almost everything else out there after being in the luxury car sales business for over 7 yrs. in S. Florida.
I love the 2UR it’s one of the main reasons i can’t let my ISF go. She kinda has slid to garage queen status now and i daily a 4GS now. V8’s are becoming a dying breed but i gotta say this list is spot on. I had a 98 LS400 with VVTI/5spd auto like a decade ago and loved that car even at its age
Can’t comment on other V8 engines, but I have the 2016 Lexus LX570 and that engine has been super smooth. The engine is tuned to be 383 hp, while the tundra is 381. The 5.0 V8 engine has got to be me favorite though. Too bad these V8s are going away except in the sport cars.
My 2003 ls430 3uzfe vvti has 270k miles and it’s my daily for commuting to San fransisco for work. I push this thing daily 100mph + and my oil changes are always clean oil they can damn near leave the oil there
Thanks very much kirk for your very informative video am learning a lot from you am a lexus fan and own a,lexus ls430 over 200'000 still running strong
I am on my 5th Lexus v8, I had an LS400, LS430, GS430, LS430 and now I have a 2005 LS430 Most had 260,000 when I traded., All ran smooth and have never touched an engine except for oil change. If the suspension was as good as the engine it would be the most perfect car made.
I have a 1998 Lexus gs400 with a 4.0 VVTi V8, K&N intake and exhaust and I can tell you by experience that this car is has never given me any trouble with the engine
Nicely done video. Only thing I will say is that the info on the GS460 is off. The GS460 is the 1UR-FSE engine. This is the same engine featured in the LS460. The GS460 was also featured from 2008-2011.
After doing some more research it looks like the 1ur-fse may have been used for America while the 1ur-fe was used in the GS 460 in the middle East 🤔 thanks for sharing!
My mint condition '97 LS400 with 115k on it was hit and totaled by another driver last month. I came here to see where you would rank the 1UZ-FE. I've owned only 4 vehicles in my life, but none of them compared to that LS400. I miss it. I recently purchased a '09 IS250 just because I wanted something smaller. I really love the car, It's great, but it doesn't feel as rewarding as driving my LS400. I'll say, the younger crowds tend to like my IS more, while the older generations were more impressed by the LS. I'll never buy another car manufacturer again after walking away from my accident like I did. Drive Lexus. It saved my life!!
Promise you get a is350 or rc350 slap a supercharger on it 450+ whp reliably you can daily it with no problems and honestly if you have an extra 8k after you spent close to 10k for the supercharger kit you can build your 2gr with forged internals crank up the boost and hit 800 whp
Great video! I am looking into buying gs400/430 and I am wondering which would be the better pick - feel and reliability wise. I will keep the engine mostly stock.
"If you've never driven a V8 Lexus then it needs to go on your bucket list." That's the most true statement in the automotive industry. Best V8 engines I've ever driven. I love GM v8 engines and the Toyota/Lexus v8 is even better. I'd love to have a Supra with a 1/3UZ-FE as a fun cruiser. I know that manual swap is now possible and better than ever. What flavor of car or v8 calls your attention the most?
What an excellent combo of the two! I'll try to do more videos like this! Send pictures to my email! Id love to do a video on my subscriber's whips. Lexuriouskirk@gmail.com

Toyota engines are the best in the world, they are smooth, powerful, quiet and reliable. My 2000 Toyota V6 Camry Azura has the 3 litre V6 engine used in the Lexus ES300, and it’s quiet, smooth, powerful and reliable.
The 1UZ is the higher revving older brother to the 3UZ…in stock form anyway. It lends a slightly angrier racy personality as found in the GS400 vs the more refined and slightly higher torque electric throttle body controlled GS430. Both are fabulous but I do prefer the more raw interpretation found in the GS400.
Hey there! Do you know the mechanical changes in the 3UZ from 2009 in the LX570 compared to the 2020/21 5.7 V8. Are there any differences. Do you know if they were built differently and/or if they changed the trans, axle, differential, transfer case? Thanksss

3uz-fe ls430 gang here. The only thing I want right now is to swap a is200 manual with 3uz fe and a supercharged. The project have been done by some russian but I want to make the same.
The 3uz sleeves are NOT thinner. They are the exact same thickness as the 1uz sleeves. However, the block surrounding them, especially between the cylinders is thinner. Don't know how much that affects strength. You can check this out for yourself on Lextreme.
Its pushing it to bore out the 3UZ because of the aluminum block from what I have found out. I have an extra 3UZ engine out of my 2009 SC430 that was totaled, so I am building it up for my SC430 fun car. I may use a 2UZ iron block, like the engine that was shown on Lextreme which was re-sleeved so I can get 5.0 or 5.2, up from 4.3 using all forged internals since the stock rods in the engine are skimpy and not good for over 400hp. The early 90's 1UZ had really nice rods and that engine is perfect for boost. I spoke to the guy who has the Lextreme 5.2 engine he had done, it was using a Tundra crank and then bored/stroked. I want to build up an all motor 5.0 or 5.2 with lots of head work including larger valves with good cams, honed intake, headers and other needed items to see what I can get out of the motor with a good tune. Maybe after I will go the boosted route, but it depends. I have to have the same reliability and also it needs to smog here in CA. The owner of the LS400 with the 5.2 is elusive, and pops up and then vanishes. I asked him exactly what rods and pistons he used, but he did not recall at the time and then I never heard from him again unfortunately, so I am hoping to get this figured out by checking around.
Hi I have a 1991 soarer thick con rod engine V8, need your advice I like to use this engine and auto box and ECU into another classic car but was told the ECU controls everything meaning I would have to use Lexus gauges and the autogear selector
as a GSF and RCF owner, Lexus need to give up on their 8 speeds (I know the LC got a new 10 speeds but still) and move to something that these V8 deserve. on the GSF and RCF, the transmission ruined the ride and somehow created a weird "turbo lag" feeling on an NA engine.
You're absolutely right there are too many gears and when the box goes hunting for a gear you get that sudden moment where all forward propulsion briefly stops while the computer thinks. It's a terrible feeling and can even cause nose-dive. With a powerful engine there is no need for so many gears except to create slightly better fuel consumption figures. Unfortunately that's consumer driven by folks who think that figures like 1.3mpg savings will change their lives over time when they're spending 30, 40, 50 and 60 thousand dollars just to buy the car! Its ridiculous thinking but I can't blame Toyota for doing it when super-goofy people will make brand purchase decisions based on it.
@@KirkKreifels bought one of two GS460's for sale in AU a couple of weeks ago But I see it listed on the AU spec sheet that it has Direct & Multi-Point Injection
@@MidwestDIY nope, Toyota never even acquired a single stake on Yamaha. As a matter of fact, Toyota has been cooperating with Yamaha only when Toyota is designing sports cars, and that cooperation had started since Toyota was on its first sports car in the 1960s with the Toyota 2000GT
You stated that the GS 460 had a 1UR-FE. That is incorrect. It has a 1UR-FSE just like a ls460. The only difference is that it has a single intake versus the dual intake on the LS. The FE is only offered in trucks. The gs460 most definitely has 4 DS direct injection. I know this because I own one. The 2UR has Yamaha heads and was also codeveloped with Yamaha. Not just the V10 Lots a mistakes in your info

My 1UR FSE has been a fun engine thus far in my 07 LS!! Sad to see the V8's go away of the Dodo bird!!
Need your advice I have Furner 1992 which class of machines is lighter and better for all-wheel drive and not consumed in fuel by virtue of hot rituals
Can you do another video like this for transmissions ?
I can’t wait for LC-F
Me too!
I hope it has the V8!
Yall sleeping on the V12 1GZ
V12 Lexus will never happen
Got a 2003 LS430 love that 3uz fe
There is nothing that can beat the sound of a lexus V8!! nothing! NOTHING
A Lexus v10...
@@KirkKreifels Well Played! How dare I..
Actually Yamaha F1 did head and valve train design on the 2UR-GSE.

I'm looking into getting a GS 460. Is it a good platform to slightly modify?
Slightly yes. Lexus are tough to mod historically
@@KirkKreifels Do you think that motor would be a good platform to supercharge down the line?
I got one (in NZ ) uptuned to 400+hp ... do cold air box header and exuast , then throttle body you can get an adaption which enlargers it ... then get the pigggy back plug in (thorton race chips , 3 stages ) and away ya go .. cost me abt $3-4 k all up ... these parts are able to be brought as performance mods from good perfermance shop ... the gs 460 is just a detuned ls ... smaller manifold and throttle body ..plus is rear wheel drive not AWD . couldnt have the gs sadan same HP as the awd ls so got detuned to 342 hp ... 400 hp is easy to obtain for $i said ... but lyou get about 4/5miles a litre so thristy around town ...
I want the 3ur-FE supercharger in my LX570
I have the lexus ls430 2001 with 320000 miles and counting. Original engine and transmission. Original alternator and starter. I want to see if it will go over 500,000 miles.
It will. Just make sure u change the timing belt. 👍🏾

@@MandusahRamirez I don't understand what?
As a quick note, the GS460 has the FSE, UAE was the only market to get the FE I believe. Everyone else has the FSE

Looking to swap my is250. 1uz fe vvti vs 3uz fe vvti ? Which one is the better choice ? Any help is appreciated
2:37 this Sc Cabrio is so nice and without overdone timeless front grill.....thick leather ! At these time Lexus did really build on highest levels ! Not anymore when i sit in new UX or IS or NX or RC.
You are wrong on the LS and GS 460 The Lexus GS 460 only came with a FSE the LS came with both FE & FSE variants
3uz-fe ls430 gang here. The only thing I want right now is to swap a is200 manual with 3uz fe and a supercharged. The project have been done by some russian but I want to make the same.
The 3uz sleeves are NOT thinner. They are the exact same thickness as the 1uz sleeves. However, the block surrounding them, especially between the cylinders is thinner. Don't know how much that affects strength. You can check this out for yourself on Lextreme.
Its pushing it to bore out the 3UZ because of the aluminum block from what I have found out. I have an extra 3UZ engine out of my 2009 SC430 that was totaled, so I am building it up for my SC430 fun car. I may use a 2UZ iron block, like the engine that was shown on Lextreme which was re-sleeved so I can get 5.0 or 5.2, up from 4.3 using all forged internals since the stock rods in the engine are skimpy and not good for over 400hp. The early 90's 1UZ had really nice rods and that engine is perfect for boost. I spoke to the guy who has the Lextreme 5.2 engine he had done, it was using a Tundra crank and then bored/stroked. I want to build up an all motor 5.0 or 5.2 with lots of head work including larger valves with good cams, honed intake, headers and other needed items to see what I can get out of the motor with a good tune. Maybe after I will go the boosted route, but it depends. I have to have the same reliability and also it needs to smog here in CA.
The owner of the LS400 with the 5.2 is elusive, and pops up and then vanishes. I asked him exactly what rods and pistons he used, but he did not recall at the time and then I never heard from him again unfortunately, so I am hoping to get this figured out by checking around.
I'm V8 swapping my BMW 128i, which Lexus V8 would you recommend? I want a Japanese V8 for the reliability
It will be an insane build, it won't have a supercharger/ turbo. I prefer NA engines❤
The V8 from the IS-F
2urgse was co developed by Yamaha as well.
Good vid!
Thanks for watching!
The thing that doesn’t make sense is that the 1uz made 290 or 300 with vvti while the 3uz makes 300 as well. Something ain’t adding up here
Hi I have a 1991 soarer thick con rod engine V8, need your advice I like to use this engine and auto box and ECU into another classic car but was told the ECU controls everything meaning I would have to use Lexus gauges and the autogear selector
I have no idea. See if you can find some Toyota mechanic forums.
Luscious Lexus
I really hate that emision regulations!!!
Imagine a lcf finally comes out and its a de-tuned v10
I believe the GS430 had the iron block. Only SC and LS had aluminum blocks.
I got a es330 which do yk would run better ?
gotta do more research! Majority of the GS460s actually came with the FSE engine.
I’m supercharging my 99gs400 😎
Love my 99Gs400!!!
Love my V8 powered SC430 with smooth luxury power. Gas guzzler except on highway.
1st gen 1uz is my fav
2UR-GSE ❤️
My 5.7 V8 in my 15’ LX Is so smooth and powerful. I think it the best, but my 5.0 V8 In my 18 GSF comes close.
Will there be a LX-F coming?
No word on any upcoming LX models or revisions :(
:(
that 3ur fe Supercharged 500 hp should be on RC F Track Editon
love my 2UR-FSE
It's a unicorn of a set up! 5.0 V8 hybrid 😎
@@KirkKreifels what do you think about the upcoming twin turbo v8 for toyota/lexus? please make a video about it.
as a GSF and RCF owner, Lexus need to give up on their 8 speeds (I know the LC got a new 10 speeds but still) and move to something that these V8 deserve. on the GSF and RCF, the transmission ruined the ride and somehow created a weird "turbo lag" feeling on an NA engine.
6 speed manual would have been a dream
Kirk Kreifels maybe a DCT too 😂
You're absolutely right there are too many gears and when the box goes hunting for a gear you get that sudden moment where all forward propulsion briefly stops while the computer thinks.
It's a terrible feeling and can even cause nose-dive. With a powerful engine there is no need for so many gears except to create slightly better fuel consumption figures.
Unfortunately that's consumer driven by folks who think that figures like 1.3mpg savings will change their lives over time when they're spending 30, 40, 50 and 60 thousand dollars just to buy the car!
Its ridiculous thinking but I can't blame Toyota for doing it when super-goofy people will make brand purchase decisions based on it.
Do they come in diesel?
Love my lx470 2006
2ur is also codeveloped with Yamaha.
I never knew the GS was offered with two V8 options... wow 🤩
3 V8 options! 4.0 4.3 4.6! Good luck finding one!
@@KirkKreifels I'm talking about the 2006-2011 😎 those were beautiful!
@@giofromtexas2679 that should be the GS 460 during that time period.
Kirk Kreifels they made a 4.3 Too in 2006 but switched to 4.6 when they upgraded the 3.0 to 3.5 because the 3.5 V6 has the same hp as the 4.3 V8
@@KirkKreifels bought one of two GS460's for sale in AU a couple of weeks ago
But I see it listed on the AU spec sheet that it has Direct & Multi-Point Injection
Have the 1UZFE doing duty in a 2007 Hummer H2. Best marriage.
Hello Kirk, if you find a low mileage, very well maintained, 1998 - 2000 Lexus LS400 please let me know. I will pay top dollar for a very clean one.
I'll buy it if I do :P
Top 6? Weren’t there totally 6 Toyota V8s? I had a 2UZ and currently have a 3UZ, a 1UR and a 3UR.
Which is better ls460 or gs460??
Are these lexus v8 made in japan?
762x39warrior yes
Can Lexus engine used in vw crafter bus please help
"The Only 6 Lexus V8s of all time!"
Also stress the 2URGSE being a stroked 1URFSE with Yamaha heads.
Jus messin with ya!
BTW,you work at Lexus,no?
Yes I do.
@@KirkKreifels You know any techs that have torn apart some 1UR,and 2UR with some insight?
I believe Yamaha is owned partially by Toyota, would make sense Toyota cooperate with Yamaha and vice versa, same way Denso makes parts for Toyota.
@@MidwestDIY nope, Toyota never even acquired a single stake on Yamaha. As a matter of fact, Toyota has been cooperating with Yamaha only when Toyota is designing sports cars, and that cooperation had started since Toyota was on its first sports car in the 1960s with the Toyota 2000GT
What about the 3uz
I thought the 1uz 1989-94 was cast iron block aluminum heads 🤔?
Nope, it's always been aluminum. The 2uz 4.7 found in the Tundra and Sequoia is iron.
Toyota my brand.the only king of auto👍👏👏👏👏👑👑👑
Thanks for watching! And if you subscribed welcome to the lexurious fleet!
You stated that the GS 460 had a 1UR-FE. That is incorrect. It has a 1UR-FSE just like a ls460. The only difference is that it has a single intake versus the dual intake on the LS. The FE is only offered in trucks. The gs460 most definitely has 4 DS direct injection.
I know this because I own one.
The 2UR has Yamaha heads and was also codeveloped with Yamaha. Not just the V10
Lots a mistakes in your info
Gs 460 had both 1urFe and 1urFse. Fe was in middle east. Fse was everywhere else.
I love my 2001 GS430 153.000 STILL RUNS LIKE NEW THE OIL GETS CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES MY DAD BOUGHT IT NEW HE PASSED AWAY AND I INHERITED IT .
I just bought an 02 GS430. 234,000 miles and it runs like a top. I payed $1000 for it! It’s got a couple issues but ima fix it up
wow really good video you sure no your stuff and did your research .. i have a 08 LS460 A W E S O M E
Awesome car man! Thanks for watching :)
Agreed
Does Lexus have more than 6 V8 engines? The company only goes back to 1989. It's not like it has some great historic past.
Wait so all of their v8 engines are the best? They only have made six in their existence. 1. 4.0L, 2. 4.3L, 3. 4.6L, 4. 4.7L, 5. 5.0L, and 6. 5.7L.
V6 video?
Probably a 6 cylinder if anything. Can't pass up the jz motors.
