It's time for our first V8 engine in the Iconic Engines series and we are starting with some all aluminum, quad-cam Toyota muscle - the 1uz-fe engine!
The 1uz Toyota engine made it's debut in 1989 in the engine bay of the Lexus LS400. But to compact it's emergence on the market into this single sentence is a massive insult to the relentless pursuit of perfection made by Toyota engineers and designers that were part of Project F1. Project F1 was secret, and no it had nothing to do with Formula 1. F1 stood for Flagship No.1 and the goal was to make a luxury sedan that would rival and outdo American and European flagship vehicles. Toyota went all in to make this happen and had a small town worth of people working on project F1. 450 engine prototypes and 900 engine prototypes were made. 1 of those 900 that came on top was the 1uzfe engine.
After project f1 was finished and the receipts tallied up Toyota had spent over 1 billion dollars to give birth to the Lexus LS 400 and the 1UZ-FE V8 engine. But it was all worth it, when the LS 400 with the 1uz engine hit the market it was quieter, faster, smoother and more fuel efficient than it's rivals. To top it all off it was also cheaper.
But the 1uz engine was ambitious and wanted to do more. It wanted to fly, swim, save lives and race. And it did all of that, well it didn't really fly but it's one of the few automotive engines given production certification and permission to be used in airplanes by the US Federal Aviation Administration. It came from the factory in a few different Toyota boats, and is very loved by boating enthusiasts. Saving lives? It was the engine of choice for the Toyota HiAce HiMedic ambulance van. Racing? It raced in twin turbo form in the Le Mans in the engine bay of the SARD MC-8R. The 1uzfe can be proud of completing it's bucket list.
The 1uz has a pretty impressive specs sheet. Inside all aluminum engine block we have a forged steel crankshaft with 8 counterweights (six is the usual number for mass produced v8 engines) and 6 bolt cross bolted main bearing caps. The 1uzfe cylinder head is a bit less impressive, and while it has pent-roof combustion chambers and dual overhead cams, the 1uz cylinder head has a pretty narrow valve angle and port designs that are more oriented towards economy than outright performance. The 1uz camshaft profiles are also pretty conservative and mild.
The 1uzfe engine is very compact and lightweight for a v8 engine so it makes a great swap engine when you realize that Toyota 2jz, Nissan RB and other large swap engines have skyrocketed in price. the 1uz is still a relatively affordable swap that gets you into v8 land for less than you might expect. Tuning the 1uzfe engine in naturally aspirated form is best started by getting rid of the factory ecu. It has a pretty conservative tune and since Toyota ecu units can't be chipped or modified your only option is a standalone ecu. When it comes to swaps it's best to find a 1997 and later 1uzfe engine, these came with vvti and had the highest stock power output for a 1uzfe engine at 290hp (300 hp for the Lexus GS 400).
Because of it's smooth and linear power delivery and pretty good torque the 1uz makes a lot of sense in drift cars too. The power delivery makes maintaining those long, smooth beautiful drifts a real joy with a 1uz engine. This is probably part of the reason why we keep seeing more and more 1uz swapped 240sx Nissans and other popular drift platforms with 1uz-fe engines in them.
After you have a standalone ecu you can focus on increasing the power of your 1uz by replacing the headers, intake, cams and more. Porting and polishing the 1uz cylinder heads also helps as do other mods like two sets individual throttle bodies form a 20v 4age.
The 1uz has also proven itself at coping well with boost. Turbo, twin turbo, supercharger or nitrous builds that make tremendous amounts of horsepower are getting more and more common. The best candidates are early 1uz engines made in 1994 and before, these have stronger internals. But finding these early 1uz fe engines for sale is getting harder and harder which is why many people settle for the later engines and upgrading the pistons and rods. The 1uzfe stock block is "safe" at around 450 boosted hp, with the early 1uzfe engine often pushed beyond 500hp. With forged low compression pistons the sky becomes the limit for 1uzfe power.

I am 1uzfe
You're a joke, Mercedes
I have a strong block
and I can fit anywhere
Turbo, supercharger or nitro
I'm a better neighbor, Totoro.

overhead cam engines=bulky pieces of shit, chevy small block is still the best v8 ever produced.
@@billybobbob3003
Name checks out.
@@negativeindustrial its fact chevy small block still best, best part support on the planet and prices.
@@billybobbob3003
It’s a fantastic engine. LMK when someone designs a dead simple boost controller that nearly anyone can build and install in under thirty minutes for $35 at Home Depot that will instantly raise the LS’s output by 100WHP like my 3S-GTE or my 2JZ-GTE. Safely
Oh wait, you don’t have boost do you? Guess you’ll need $5k for a quality turbo system first.
@@billybobbob3003 lol jdm cars are just better
Only a few of things you forgot. 1. The heads are interchangeable, the better flowing 2uz and 3uz heads can fit on a 1uz block and vice versa. The 2uz has the best flow for FI, 3uz best velocity head for N/A builds. 2. Australia has been racing this engine for years and regularly gets 440hp out of them N/A with built heads cams and motor. 3. The second highest power 1UZ is the Larson LE1 Groundfighter. 2000hp. First was the HKS V8 drag supra making 2500hp. 4. Procharger is the easiest/most inexpensive way to get 1UZ over 600hp. XAT motorsports sells engine internals and collins makes adapters for almost any trans for 1UZ. 5. You can rev this motor over 8k stock and it will take it like a champ. 🏆
The 2UR-GSE is the 1st Yamaha headed "G" V8 with revs, titanium bits and high lift cam profile giving 350 Kw/470Hp. Thank goodness Japan abandoned the Gentlemen's agreement.
Why are you talking about a yamaha engine on a vid about a toyota engine? Is the 1uz yamaha made?
@@Rekt-M8-v4 The 1uz isn't Yamaha made but all high performance Toyota engines have Yamaha heads(engines with G instead of F in their name). They have being working together since the 60s.
@@Rekt-M8-v4 Toyota cataloging uses a G to signify a high performance head and "F" to signify one that is for low rev torque. The G"s are typically done as collaborations with Yamaha and will have their casting mark. The 1UZ never had a "G" variant and I was curious about how long it took for this to be corrected and posted the result in case anyone else was thinking the same thing.
@@Rekt-M8-v4 if you aren't aware of why anyone would mention Yamaha in a toyota video then you need to watch more videos.
@@stephenbello1081 so the 2jz has a yamaha head? I only ask because some people said it wasnt and some said it was.
I have had a 1993 Lexus LS for six years, and both the car and the engine are absolutely spectacular. I love this car and will keep it till it is totalled or I die.
Toyota really knocked it out of the park with the first gen LS 400.
This is the heart of my 1991 LS400 daily driver. 370,000 miles and still goes strong, doesn't burn oil. Does have a "tick, tick, tick" near the driver's side firewall (known issue) but still, strong as can be.
Hope it does many more trouble free miles for you! Good luck
320k miles on my 99 gs400
@@runningmole awesome!! 440K on my 1UZ 96 SC 400
@@runningmole only put a new timing belt and waterpump, tensioners on it
I love the 1UZ in my LS400, now sporting a rear mount turbo!! Love it, sounds epic😍
Fell in love with the 1UZ when my Mother purchased a 93 LS a few years ago. Just bought myself a 2000 LS a couple months ago and it’s so sweet. Such a smooth elegant ride but it growls like a wildcat. Especially since mine came with a resonator delete.
The LS puts a smile on my face every time.
Thanks for the vid.
1UZ for life!!!👍
Props for attempting Japanese rap too Bro.
I recently bough a '92 SC400, this was just the video I was hoping for!
Jacob Swafford i have a 92’ LS400 ayeee
How was it like. I'm planning to buy the Soarer as a daily drive too
@@BinhTran-dt4bi I picked mine up for $800, it still ran and drove but I didnt give it a shot as a daily I tore the interior out and made it a drift car. But it was really comfortable, reliable, and fun to drive before I tore it apart.
I have a 99 ls400. I kinda want to go outside and try the glass of water thing now.
Its legit... silky smooth
Right
@@lexusgang2028 Seriously mate, that engine is insane.
I had a '96 LS400 and I balanced a pound coin on top of of plenum and revved it and it didn't fall over. Ridiculous.
The 1UZFE engine is a big hit in South Africa 🇿🇦 for Drifting and Public Transportation transplants, it makes perfect sense why it is the go to choice, nicely packaged video you made 🙌 🔥👍
I had a 1991 UZZ31 Toyota Soarer with long tube headers, 2.5 inch non crosspiped exhaust with quad 4 inch cannons. Sounded AMAZING!
Exhaust video clips don't do it justice. It's so deep and guttural.
Excuse me, I need a moment alone...
That’s why they have that lion badge, you can feel that roar
I just bought a '95 LS400 and coming from strait 6 engines I was blown away with how smooth the v8 is. It is a very sedate engine in stock form but she cruises like a boss!
Another informative vid! Now on to the 1GZ-FE V-12 post haste my good man!!!
The viral one with bronze velocity stacks :) will do it for sure
My uncle has a 2nd gen 1UZ-FE None vvti in his dutsun 510 it's just such a beautiful and fun engine
That sounds awesome. It's cool to hear about a v8 in Asian cars since there aren't to many out there. Plus the datsun should be pretty quick with a healthy v8.
@@adamweaver6351 she's a monster, still on stock suspensions so she has no grip whatsoever
@@poes1965 oh I believe it. I have a 94 firebird with the same issue, so I'm putting a little money into the suspension and I bought some soft summer tires to put in the back. Getting grip is always an issue for street machines
@@adamweaver6351 nothing like the feeling of a car that's trying to kill you
How did he fit it? He must've cut half of the metal out?
As a 1UZ owner I can definately say they are well designed and built, best V8 in the world in my opinion for longevity and smooth running.
Lmfaoo! Best v8 in the world?? Not a big gm fan but I'm pretty sure the small block chevy ls engine is far better than the 1uz ever was or will be
@@nescockk u just said that because ls/small block has a lot more aftermarket support. If 1uz has also the same support, it will blow LS out of the water.
As far as reliability goes, the Ford 4.6L 90° SOHC modular v8 2 valve is considered to be the most reliable, it's been put in everything
@@nescockk chevy small block is overrated. More popular maybe because their population in US, but as far reliability and smoothness, durability, chevy small block aint got nothing in 1uzfe. These uz engine easily reach 500k miles without needing any rebuild and only regular maintenance. "Ever was or ever will be"? LoL. You said you're not a fan of GM but you sure do talk like a fanboy. I bet you never even have experience with the 1uzfe engine. As a matter of fact, i bet you even never drive a car, besides on your driving simulation game. LoL.
@@lancereyesromero7811 we live in the real world not in a hypothetical one.
I love your channel dude, I put this on and listen to it like a radio station while I'm driving around to my jobsites.
I've been told it works nicely like a podcast too, really happy to hear you feel that way too.
In the middle east we swap these into anything, especially the guys on a budget. Such a strong engine.I remember the days of illegal drifting when most of the cars had a 1UZ in it. I had friends who would rev bang this thing while drifting and sometimes even without a radiator in the winter.Such good memories and good times.
You think I could drop it into a 1982 sr5 pickup
1uzfe is an amazing engine I pulled one out of a 1993 sc400 and it is going into my 1989 Toyota supra as a what if project. It is the build after my I finish my 1971vGS with a twin turbo 6.0 LS. They will both be putting down between 1000-1500 hp with their turbo set ups. Great video man
I had a 95 sc400 with a 1uzfe. It was a great engine. I cleaned and ported the intake manifold and that made a very nice difference. Some build up was restricting airflow.
Great video, I've been watching your iconic engine series and was about to search if you had done the 1uz and found you just made one, I've really been learning a lot from these vids.
I work at a Lexus dealership. The first thing that came to mind when you mentioned the 1uz was used in aircraft is.. i wonder if someone will ever bring one in for service
You like working on them?
Thank you, very thorough breakdown. All to often the "HP pie in the sky" guys get over amped on the potentials and don't really discuss the expense and problems- you covered it pretty much like mud! Several Toyota engines are starting to be much more attractive as well as new design and prototype parts creation machinery are driving the cost of developing those parts down- this engine may be a bigger "commer" in years to come.Thanks again for a great presentation- the new audio as well as lights are much appreciated!
This is why i love Toyota they make the best reliable engines. For my 1uz build ill go for 650 HP.
In New zealand these engines are commonly swapped into 80s 90s and early 2000s hilux/hilux surf
Factss
NZ WOTB. also jet sprint boats :)
Chur
even here in Africa lol
Will this engine fit into engine bay of a 2nd generation Toyota 4Runner (89-95)? Anyone know?
Watching this video while having a fuel pump failure on the side of the road
This makes me want to build my sc400
I'm using this for inspo to finish my LS400
Do it. You won't regret it. I had a 1991 Soarer (SC400) with long tube headers, twin 2.5 inch non crosspiped headers with quad 4 inch cannons and it sounded amazing. Recommend two small resonators just before exit (before cannons) to keep it deep and guttural.
He'll yea, those are sweet cars to build
Me and my brother cnced some eaton m112 supercharger flanges 12 psi of boost with the stock pulley rx8 injectors 1.2mm mls headgasket we didnt get to the dyno in the end but span up 235s like they were nothing i reckon a ecu and this setup would be legendary
@@silvia_fuku0ka845 thats my plan, to go with a eaton m90 or m112 and pull around 400 to the crank
How I wish there's more aftermarket support for the natural aspirated 1uz other than turbocharged or supercharged
SupraStore has everything you need
1:21 love the two casting couches 😂 "lights, camera, action!"
You can buy LS400's for practically nothing now and they still have killer luxury features. It was truly ahead of it's time when it released.
Not anymore. They've doubled and tripled in price since you posted this 😂
@@ryancalhoun4671 Yeah I know. Everything is more expensive now.
I speak some japanese and i thought your rap was better than most people's beginner attempts at speaking japanese 🤣🤣 nice job!
I’ve got a 98 GS4, couldn’t be happier. Power aside, it’s great on gas and sounds perfect
I got the GS4 99 and it runs great, under 200k miles
at the begging i was like damn a 30 min video? but ya had sittin through all of it, good content !
@D4A - Yesssss!!! Ur best vid yet: my all-time favorite engine from my all-time favorite manufacturer -Toyota. I'll also conclude with rap - Today was a Good Day (Ice Cube).
here en chile is one of the most used engines for drift
Screw LS swapping, 1UZ swap the world
For an hour and a half google translate, that’s really good!
This engine in a FRS would be pretty badass imo
someone done it on a GT86 and it revs to 8700 RPM. Search it up.
6:23 now that is something amazing
Just picked up an 92 SC400, love the history of the car and especially this engine, thanks!
Hey, Brother! I have the exact same car, and I love it to bits! That said, I changed the starter myself last year, and it was the job from hell. The engineer who designed it should be dragged out into the street and beaten with hammers, in front of his children.
Surprisingly wasn't a very obvious spy for Suzuki. 😂😂😂
This is a crazy history. Had no idea so much went into this development.
You’re literally everywhere lmao I swear I see you in every TikToks comment section
@@johnkfennedy7203 Hahaha that's me! I've also been following D4A for years now. :D
AEM is LEGIT! I had a AEM intake on my 2017 GTI and it sounded great! I did have one minor issue with the kit but their customer service did an amazing job resolving my issue and sent me the replacement part that I needed very quickly. I really like the AEM DryFlow Filters because I don't like messing with oil around my air intake. I am also using a AEM filter on my new project car. Very informative video! Thanks!
Bucket shim lifters like a sport bike engine it never wears out and doesn't shear oil
Extremely precise part tolerances meaning very few ever wore out
Way overbuilt bottom end and mls head gaskets
The price of the car these came in means they are almost always maintained and the ones that get long drain intervals are fine besides maybe valve seals as they just don't shear oil
The vvti 1uz is a remarkable efficient powerhouse that was such an improvement over the 90 model variant I will probably own another one one day in a gs of course
What makes it great? It sounds amazing, and they're super reliable. :)
Unlike the germans whose engine at idle vibrates so much a glass couldn't stay still
@@mayuravirus6134 that's not true. I've owned a 1uz, and now own a Audi 4.2l and the Audi is just as smooth than the Toyota. If I put a glass of water on my Audi right now it would just sit there even while bring up the rpms
@Shndon430 Hurtado it's really close trust me, I've owned both. They're both great V8 engines. I have the 2005 Audi 4.2l with the timing belt so it doesn't have the timing chain issues. The Lexus was on another level of reliability though
YEAH!
I'm from Germany and it's a pretty rear engine around here.
But I just LOVE the SC400.
So it took me 10 YEARS to get one. (There are only around 20 of them on the german streets right now...)
BUT I GOT MINE!
I LOVE IT!
It's a stock 1994 (build in 1993) SC400 first gen.
And maybe it's gone get some work done...
Maybe ;-)
Nice, where are you from?
Gruß aus Stuttgart :)
same there are even less SC400 here in switzerland, took me a while to find one
I have a ls400 and I'm super happy now to know what I have and can do to it great video
These are great. I'll gladly take more. Would love to see something on the 2tc/3tc. Best rap so far BTW =D
Yes sir I got one that's boosted making 192hp but that bad boy puts up a fight.
The 1UZ-FE Lexus engine in 5.0L form had won the 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 running of the 24h Rolex Daytona race. One year earlier in 2005 it was run in 4.3L form with active VVTi and came in 4th. During the 2004 GrandAm season, drivers Scott Pruett and Max Papis co-drove Chip Ganassi`s 01 COMPUSA Riley powered by the 4.3L 1UZ-FE engine and won the Daytona Prototype championship. Engine size was dictated by the Grand Am rules. The engine was made to generate 500HP and could run all day at 8000rpm rev limit.

Its not wrong
Toyota in a world by it self wen its comes to making autos..toyota king of autos.my brand for life...
Your own sponsor (AEM) have a piggyback called FIC-8 and it works perfect on turbo 1UZ-FE's. At least on conservative boost levels as I've run (8psi spring on WG). CHEERS!
Great video and really nice photo stills of the engine internals. Thanks for the great content.
Awesome content!! Thanks for taking the time to go in-depth on this engine
OMG you did it, awesome job on the rap challenge, you got it going on, thanks
I loved my second gen LS400. The 1UZ is such an underrated engine!
14:39
My 1997 LS400 didn't have VVTI. Pretty sure that became available with the facelift that happened from 1998-2000 before the LS430 in 2001.
Insanely informative video, well dome man. Very clear and concise
You have a dope channel. I watch you and engineering explained back to back. Thanks buddy.
*Salutes
70’s,80’s & 90’s were the best era with real engineers in Toyota. Today....... even the suspension design is from the 90’s. Maybe today Toyota engineers doesn’t know about cars at all .
I’ve had a first gen 1z in my drift car for years, only issues ever were cooling due to that beautiful aluminum design, however a few years back I got that dialed and I don’t see any chance of another swap anytime soon. Motors are dirt cheap and tough and nails
Exactly what i needed to hear to swap my VG30 to a 1UZ non vvti . Time to start looking for my next purchase
@@Aanthonyramirez123 still on the uz swap and n/a, and still the best decision I ever made. It’s better than ever with a link ecu. Do it man you won’t be mad, just swap the gearing in the diff for a 4.3 or a 4.6 and it wakes the uz up a ton more!
@@drewblizard591 just checked out ur page man! Good shit bro!
A friend of mine had a First Gen LS400 drift car that now it giving his 1UZ to a KE70 corolla
Really good stuff man! These videos are killin' it.
Found a 92 Toyota Alexis(even though it shows Lexus emblem it just sounds weird)found this engine, Toyota is joe becoming one of my favorite manufacturers, they make some pretty sick stuff
This engine is very popular in South Africa
and dubai
Super V8 easy to work with and gives you the road power you deserve. I have it in two of my car 1.1990 500SL and 2. 2007 range rover sport. Cure for COVID-19 affected cars lol.
True, all the Corollas and Tazz’s
Thanks for the Video. Confirmed a few things I know and taught me a few things I didn't know.
Awesome engines, we'll be putting a twin turbo'd 2uz in our project Supra. The 1uz, 2uz and 3uz family are similar and can often be found for only a few hundred dollars.
最後のラップ最高！上手ですね！
Can`t wait for the VK56DE😍
As a 1uz v8 Addict I built a super charged with a 871 blower back in early 2000 years made 1100 hp and ran 7.9 over 1/4 mile the first in oz

Didn't know AEM made this sort of equipment Awesome
got one in my te72 wagon, its a monster
Always useful. Maybe Haltech will sponsor you
Hello from usa🇺🇸 best engine when drive👍

You are one smart guy ! TY for video!
6:18 So they hired the Takumi Fujiwara of engineers
OMG i love you, what a great video!
I have the Volks from the MCR8r on my Soarer. And i had to delete some mufflers because the engine was so quiet it was UNSAFE (had to take my eyes off the road to see if the engine was still running).
Next step, twin turbo it with the turbos from my 6 cyl Soarer!
My 2000 LS400 is at 260,000 miles. Runs great..
Me too I have a 2000 platinum edition .... previously owned 1999 model
Just found your channel, just subscribed. Great, in depth info!
Great video!
If you want to go for high NA power levels, you start with a DFV ;-) which BTW really deserves an Iconic Engines entry.
Best engine ever I miss my LS 400.
Patty jay literally the best engine, if the tolerances were any tighter it wouldn’t start in cold weather like a Formula 1 car.
Forget boosting. The beauty of the 1UZ is that with proper care and maintenance you can easily hit 500,000+ miles. How much money can you save without a monthly car payment for 10 years? It's a lot of money and it adds up faster than you think. That's why I prefer to keep my 1UZFE and 2URGSE engines stock and put the savings in the bank.
I enjoy these videos of yours about engines! Please make a video abt mitsubishi 6a13tt.
Yes what an engine design. I use a 2uz daily that has given me 15 years of excellent service!
I have another interesting suggestion, how about a video on the 1G-FE as found in the first gen IS200?
Awesome! Surprising what this engine can do for its small displacement.
You're definitely American if you think a 4.0 V8 is small displacement 🤣
@@paulharper4196 😆 Yup, sitting outside is a built 455 Buick, 451 Big Block Chrysler, 351 Cleveland but, I also have the Toyota 4.7 and a Honda 1.8 R in a Civic. I like them all.👍
This engine be like Johnny sins of engines. It can fly, swim, save lives, race, drive kids to school and fix my household plumbing all in one.
If you fix the several spelling errors, I would give this video an A+ grade. Good work!..I am currently fitting a 1 UZ into a Toyota 1977 RA 28.
Sadly videos can't be fixed or changed after upload
Awezome video! Very good job.
Incredible story, thanks for this vid!❤
THANKS MAN FOR THE WORK U DID AND URE DOING PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.WISH U THE BEST
Keep this series going! I would love to see top economy engines, top manufacture numbers listings, I don't know know top Motorsports wining engines, maybe a top 8 fuel injection systems, all sorts of potential. I would especially like to see a in depth look at the Toyota 1nz-fe engine, I know it's not loved, but they are everywhere, cheap, go into a ton of vehicles. I am building 2, and would love your help. Your help with my 4ag has been monumental, keep it up. I had to sell my aw11 but am now on the hunt for any gen mr2. AEM, listen up, due to your support of this channel I will be giving you all business I can on my next performance build!
Before the UZ Toyota had the V series V8s but generally they were only used for the domestic luxury car market.
Another engine that's needs one of these videos is the Chevy LS V8.
what engines are you going to cover?
will you make a vid about the Buick 455?
Great work once again!
What an engine thank you Japan!
My little brother just got a 1997 LS400. i wanted to buy it but already own 4 cars. with only 150k km and still looking mint not rusty at all for a Canadian Car.
its still running on Stock muffler i told him to get rid of those and he still haven't done it.
been about a month of ownership.
You NEED to make a video on one of the Volvo redblocks engines. Solid, reliable, they kinda were the first 4 bangers with Turbozzz. Def need to be known more. Its not pretty, its kinda agricultural, sounds like crap but takes boost like crazy.
New subscriber here. Great video. Can't wait to see more. I will say that it's strange to repeatedly hear a 90 degree DOHC V8 referred to as "compact" i guess it's relative.
Next Engine: Nissan's CA18DET, it gets overlooked so much
Excellent video 👍
