The Strongest And Most Reliable Automotive V8
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 чер 2024
- It was not easy for this engine from the beginning. It was a new series and its failure would mean a failure of the very new brand Toyota had been planning for some time. It had to be good and so they rather over-engineered it. The UZ series is a dinosaur today, but who knows it will take his hats off. Not only it is an incredibly reliable engine for over half a million kilometres or even miles, it is also massively potent for any further power modifications.

The UZ is FAA rated for Aircraft use. Not very many street engines can do that.
Yamaha rx1 engines also plane used in Bush planes
I have seen LS motors in small planes.
@@kevin122759 yeah theres quite a few
@@kevin122759 yes LS is one of the other few engines that can brag on this. Gotta love the UZ and LS 😏
Says a lot about how robust an engine is, realise that aircraft run the engine at near 80% power constantly
My first car was a sc400 at 17. I abused the crap out of it and it never let me down. Been owning 1uz powered cars ever since
I dont believe you... how many alternators did you go through before you finally fixed the power steering and then fixed the power steering again.
@@dennisf1020 lmao truueee i really forgot about that
@@dennisf1020 dude that power steering isn’t an issue. just replace the idle up control valve with one from a GS300. they’re metal bam solved.
Right on, guys! That's why I sold so many of those. My brother got scammed for one of those by a cheeseball from New Jersey not long ago though.
@@dennisf1020
I’ve been owning LS400s for two decades now. I’ve never seen one sign of that supposed issue.
wow, I though this was a video about reliable engines,
then I realize we are talking about the humanity's master piece
Great video! No wonder Toyota/Lexus put so much effort and money into this engine and the LS400 - it was the first Lexus ever, their debut model for the US market - they couldn't mess it up, and they didn't.
At that time the dedication to research was second to none.
@@no_data_for_you No, very basic and just a great compromise between cost and longevity(imho).
Except for it putting the starter under the intake manifold…
Lexus is lexus, they over engineer their cars, they had a "halo" car which is the Lexus LFA they first finished developing a fully aluminium body and then scrapped it and started designing a new fully carbon fiber body and they even partnered with yamaha to tune their exhaust which sounds absolutely astonishing and then they used light weight exotic materials for their v10 that redlines upto 9.5k rpms, it redlines to 9.5k rpms so fast a traditional tachometer cant keep up so they equipped it with a digital one. no wonder its so damn overpriced
@@billd9667 this is not a big deal as they rarely fail and even so it’s really not hard to take the intake manifold off
Had a tundra with a 4.7 2uzfe, great truck, never quit running, almost 300k miles and it still pulls like a mf
My buddy has one with over 700k still pulls trailers everyday and it was not a easy 700k either
That engine was such a peach and make beautiful noises .
@@blairwilliams136 mines straight piped😂
@@travyboy5947 god damn it must be loud and sound like a beast, I could never get away with that, I use mine for long road trips 😅
Me too. 2UZ has a stronger block (cast iron) than 1UZ (aluminum), but its rod is thinner than 1UZ. Overally I think they are 50 vs 50, co-champion of V8.
When I was 17 and stupid (thinking I am invincible really), I had a 1993 Lexus LS 400
I was on a road trip to Edmonton by myself, and no cars were on the highway, I topped out at 253 km/h and the governor then kicked in. What a car
Nice.
That plane with the V8 sounded badass.
If I were a licensed pilot, my airplane would have that kind of engine -- a *four-stroke, uneven-firing and fuel-injected 8-cylinder,* be it either a *V8,* a *boxer-8,* a *straight-8,* or even a single-row *radial-8.*
@@josecarrilloii4036 Buick had an 8 in line engine in the early ‘50s, but I haven’t heard of an 8 cil boxer or radial engine. A V8 is obviously most common.
@@MrZdvy There was an *boxer-8 racecar engine* in a *Porsche* in the 1960's.
Buick also *WASN'T the only manufactuer* to produce a straight-8. You had *Packard,* *Mercedes-Benz* and *Alfa Romeo* in the '30s, *Rolls-Royce* in the '40s (including *World War II),* *Duesenberg,* etc.
@@MrZdvy 4 stroke radial engines are only smooth, with an odd number of cylinders in each row. I've never heard of a radial 8 but I understand even numbers would be fine if it's a two stroke engine (radial 2 stroke engines are also not common, it seems)
@@julianbrelsfordIf my airplane had a *radial-8 engine,* it'll be a *_four-stroke_** engine,* *_not_* a thirstier, dirtier *_two-stroke_** engine.*
I had a 1995 LS400. I miss it. If all the maintenance is done, they will just keep going! Beautiful engine in a beautiful car
One of these came into the place I work today, 530,000km on a 100 series land cruiser with the original motor, not one tick came from it, I was amazed.
My first car was a Lexus GS400. When that got totaled, I bought a GS430 the same night. Once you live with a UZ, you can't live without!
In South Africa we've stuffed them into everything from Corollas to minibus-taxis.
Speaking of swapping, they really need to drop some crate engines.

Good to see You used my video at the end 😊. The v8 sounds awesome in my boat.
Very good engine. My bro had the LS400. The only car he's had that literally didn't need constant repairs since he's very hard on his cars. Unfortunately he wrecked it
Ok, that engine in an airplane is the coolest sound I've heard on this channel.
That’s a real good sounding bunch of engines.
@footballcoreano Damn, who left you in the dust in their mom's Oddysey?
@footballcoreano sounds like someone got gapped by a 20 year old civic
@footballcoreano
I’m a mustang guy first off. I own two now and have had 16 total in my life. I’ve got the ford V8 tatted on my throat and the running horse on my back & the only Japanese car I’ve ever owned is a 90k mile JDM ‘98 Subaru Forester. I’m a fan of the mechanics that go into an engine and I can appreciate all kinds of engines from Porsches to Mercedes and GM & Ford and Toyota & Nissan. Every company makes great engines like the GM LS series down to the lil Chrysler 2.2L POS in early caravans. I’m far from a fanboy Haas, I buy, build, race, rebuild, & race some more. Get off your high horse Bud, these comment sections are made for good times not bummers like you.
PS, what I was referring too is the nice firing order sound of these motors too. I’m a huge mustang fan and I know the coyote is an amazing engine but I truly do NOT like the sound of that engine. It’s that odd firing order that does it. However, that 5.2 Voodoo motor with that flat plain crank is the sound of my dreams. I’m building an oldskool 347 pushrod stroker for my current project but if I could line one up it would have a big turbo Barra in my ‘84GT T-top. I do like the DOHC 281 4.6 litre engines Ford has made as well. I’ve had two of them, both all aluminum. One was running great with 160k on it in a ‘96 cobra and I blew the other one up with 68k on it in an ‘03 Mach1. No power adders or anything. I’m a Mustang guy but I can appreciate just about anything out there, the fact is that driving is fun.
@@aaronburratwood.6957 seems like you do a whole lotta meth too
@footballcoreano dude’s probably butthurt that a Toyota Sequoia beat him in his Dodge Ram.
There are 2UZ engines in 1st Generation and early 2nd Generation Tundras with over 1 Million miles also. I love my 2UZ in my 2003 Sequoia. It’s a wonderful engine!
I remember when my friend bought one of these a few years ago...
Couldn't believe it was a v8, she ran like a dream.
This is one of my bucket list engines, if not the V8 I want to own before the whole industry becomes boringly electrified, and it becomes too cost prohibitive (if the day ever comes) to own a petrol car.
Don't let it. Don't comply
Nope never comply! I just bought 2 new 4Runners to keep a long time, and my 97 7.3 power stroke also! Pureblood for life, & let’s go Brandon!
@@JAMESWUERTELE Awesome! Those are going to last forever as long as you properly maintain them, great vehicles. Let's Go Brandon!
Yep, V8 petrol gang, let’s go Brandon! 🤙🏼
I did same with land cruiser 4.2. See me thru
My 94 ls400 ucf10 is on 1,100,000 miles and still running strong 💪 one of 3 v8’s ever made certified for aircraft use, all I know is it feels incredibly strong, the non vvti 1st gen engines are the monsters
People have just now taken 100% notice of these v8s. I have one under my SC at 240k miles.
Toyota could've put one in the A70 supra and have it race in Group A and homologate it. Then, when the A80 comes out, make it as a trim package.
@@Joshua_N-A SARD
Ive never thought this engine would be in an aircraft. That sounded unreal when it took off. Sounds like a car but flys lol
Not sure about the other lines, but the 3UZ on Lexus all had CT scans performed on them to make sure they were within spec. Great feat. I have an '02 LS430 and I swear it's one of the best cars ever produced to this day.
Toyota is insane in r&d of iconic engines. I love em.
Great content man. Keep up your informative videos. Top notch explanation for automotive enthusiasts! Those 90's V8 Toyota/Lexus engine are made by genius engineers.
One of my favorite engines of all time, I have a 1uz non vvti thick rod motor in my 1981 corolla wagon and it is insane. I'm about to swap in a lower milage 1uz I have into it and do head studs and MLS headgaskets with a turbo kit I'm building, should be around 500hp with this setup then I'm building another 1uz on a stand with forged pistons, h beam rods and aftermarket cams, that will be capable of 1000hp and over 9000 rpm
Convinced my Mother to buy herself a 1993 LS400 a few years ago as her retirement car. Last year I got myself a 2000 LS400. These cars are such a pleasure to drive and we LOVE them.
1UZ for life!✊🔥
Thanks for this vid.👍
Very good video! My 98 LS400, with all original drivetrain, has just crossed over 500,000 miles this past month. I also own a 92 SC400 with a thick rod 1uz and my wife drives a 4runner with a 2uz. The SC is manual swapped and I have a turbo on the side just waiting to go under the hood.
5 speed from SC300? Would IS300 5 speed work?
@@tmo2798 KA24DE 5 speed from a 240sx are common manual transmission used on 1uz, with the cd009 being the one to choose if you planning on running high horsepower.
These were so cheap to purchase in New Zealand 10-15 years ago, they went in everything. Hilux, Hiace, Jet Boats, anything you could think of
Hilux? You guys are lucky...
I'd kill for a Hiace V8! :D I grew up in Hiaces in Europe. Drove my licence in one too 8 years ago.
Thank you for reminding me about engines/cars that should be appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
The sound is so good ... TY for the vid i've learned a lot !!
Basic recipe for a reliable engine :
Make it underpowered and under stressed, such an easy recipe 🤣🤣🤣
I guess you never owned a D17 Honda Civic
Under powered and under stressed.
But that head gasket tho 😭
Basically the 318 LA “economy” V8’s. 170 horses but those horses refuse to die.
@@no_4259 Shit, people regularly put out 600+ hp with 318s and they still never die.

The most reliable V8 I ever used and using NISSAN's VK56DE I towed over 100,000KM drove hard I honestly tried to kill it so I can buy something new, I did not change oil for 1 and 1/2 year it f*c*ing neve quit. Finally I gave up and I bought a brand new 2019 NISSAN Titan VK56VD.
I had a 1992 LEXUS LS400 very quiet and smooth, small V8 with decent power the cabin was very quiet on high speed amazing car.
matt farah famously owned a million mile ls400, and mine has 216k on the clock and runs smooth as a top. there were stories floating around on some of the lexus forums about someone making 3k horsepower on a 1uz, however i havent found any proof of such feat
Great video!! Thank you for the great info!
1:42 oh damn that's the most balanced v8 I've ever seen. Ive only seen rolls royce feature that balance, but those are v12 engines. Wew.
Check out Jaguar AJ-V8 4.0 and 4.2
Been subbed for a few years, you have taught me so much bro you are THE BEST. Thanks for all the content bro you rock
Bought a 91 LS400 for $650 with 232000miles and with only oil changes drove it till 292000mi. 7 years later still absolutely in love with the engine
Always good content
That's why I love my Lexus gx470. Smooth, quiet, and powerful; the engine and awd kick ass! (2uj-fe I think)
Excellent report!
5:23 In Australia, deadly spiders live in your cylinders
3:27 That's the nicest sounding airplane I've ever heard.
I have a grand marquis with the 4.6 V8.
The LS400 was my 2nd choice.
I'm happy with the 4.6 but got a tune and added some performance parts to it. It's a solid motor with many going 1 million miles without any major repairs.
5:37 crazy to be watching a video and see a shop that I went to, they are an amazing shop for anything lexus or toyota.
It’s underrated and often overlooked the kind of quality and engineering Lexus put into their early models. My 90’ LS400 @ 130k miles is older then me and it’s easily my favorite car I’ve owned. Despite its age, the car is just a beacon of confidence and reliability. I hope to keep her on the road another decade. Well done video and in depth history of the uzfe series engine.
I still have and use my 92 LS400 that I bought in 94. It is a wonderful car that is quick, smooth and quiet.
Impressive Engineering. I say the same for this upload.
Thanks for posting VR 👍
Now if we could just bolt that to a nice 5-speed manual gearbox....
There are kits available....
as ever a well researched vid full of pertinent information. go the big T
uz swapped Hilux's are awesome
I built one around 20yrs ago. It used 30% less fuel than the 2.8 diesel & was alot faster.
Its utterly brilliant. Not perfect but close. A well looked after LS400 will last forever. Its on my bucket list for sure.
I bought my 92 LS400 in 1994 and still use it until now. It does everything a car should do except get the fuel economy of a hybrid, like my son's Camry hybrid. His Camry is a wonderful car but the old Lexus is quieter and smoother.
Love my LS400, best built car I’ve ever had the pleasure of working on.
thanks for posting this.
I’ve got three of these engine variants with a combined mileage of 550k in my driveway. They’re amazing power plants.
That starter will never get in the way of or over heat from exhaust headers.
Amazing information thanx
Awesome video as always!
A 3sge video would be very interesting as well ;-)
The 3UZ-FE and it's predecessors are legendary.
I daily an LS430, and i got lucky enough to get one in almost immaculate mechanical condition. At 225,000 miles.
I'm at 251,000 now. No issues.
Me too mine has 220,000 miles
Amazing video !!!
Haven't seen one of these big Lexus for some time.
They looked really classy!
nice engine, sounds great as well
This could be a great swap for an Altezza or IS200/300
It may not be the easiest of swaps, but it is a great swap for a Toyota pickup....and someday I will
People do it all the time in fact one of my friends is doing it in his is300, I believe they use the same engine mounts as the 2jz ge, and can use the oem a650e auto transmission
Good info, 1 UZ engine was definitely a engineering masterpiece !
I've owned a bunch of cars. My Toyotas are the only ones I never worry about when going on a roadtrip. You never have to worry about being stranded, budgeting so you can have it towed/fix. That is why now I never drive anything else. Nothing better than a Toyota.
Naturally Aspirated = Will last longer
Good job!
I hope my 2UR-GSE lasts as long as these do, I wanna drive my LC500 for at least 20 years
Excellent video. From Thailand
WoW!, i had no idea!! I want one now!
Great video
👌 Well explained
Yep... I still own an 03 Sequoia with the 4.7 super quiet. Very high miles and still very reliable.
My 2006 Lexus gs430 is my first and only car I’ve had it for 5 years now put 100k on it with literally nothing but oil changes changed the oem timing belt at 200k
Awesome engine 💪
You convinced me, I am now in search of the 1UZ to see what I can do with it!
Good luck!

@@upsidedowndog1256 a long way. Australia.
Having run a limousine company for roughly 25 years, the 4.6 liter V8 that the Ford Motor company put in the Lincoln Town Car (I don't know if they still do) was virtually indestructible. IF maintained properly. 300,000 miles easy, often much more. The rest of the car would fall apart before those engines went.
Ive got a 99 gs400. I got it April of 2022 with 199k miles. It now, in August 2023, has 238k. I drive 100+ miles a day. I do the occasional burnout and swing it every now and then. Routine maintenance, and its never given me any problems. Already been the best vehicle that ive ever owned...by far!
Please make a video on the GM LS engine.
i have a 1992 lexus ls400 and despite its age and it previously been treated very poorly it still is perfect after a rebuild
These days its crazy to see how many 400k mile 1uz, 2uz cars i see for sale on line. More than GM and Toyota/Lexus sold quite a lot less here in the USA.
My aunt got 600,000 out of her 1UZ powered Lexus until someone ran up the back of her and wrote the car off, the engine was still tight and no smoke or rattles evident, a great engine for sure!
Love these cars. I’ve owned 2 ls400s and it’s a perfect motor.
Great Channel.
Thanks!
I’ve had a low mile 1uzfe in the garage for years. Just waiting for the right chassis to install it in. Thinking Cressida or AE86.
Those motors are outstanding.
Before I saw the symbol and clicked on the video, I knew it had to be a Lexus. Currently saving for my first!
Love the 5.7 V8 in my Tundra.
Yes this is the beat I used to own 92 LS 400 miss that thing looking for another one 😢
That spec MR2 is a dream car.
Need a video on the UR engines.
Does anyone know of where to get aftermarket performance parts for this? I have been doing a lot of searching and can't find much.
I have an is200 sitting dying for more oomph, I was initially gonna slap a td04 on it and hope it doesn't blow up, but I've been toying with the UZ idea for a year or two now, engines seem relatively easy and inexpensive to find and it seems like a straightforward swap, again relatively speaking. I think this video sort of put me over the edge, sounds fucking glorious and its reliability is very tempting too
I don’t know the ‘how to’ parts but I do recall seeing and manual swapped IS200/400 local to me. Everything like that has to be engineered (costs $000) and certified here in Oz and I don’t know if it got through. Haven’t seen it about in ages. Was a top sounding vehicle that went hard. Just do it and send it!
I can attest to this. My LS400 motor is fantastic. And yes, it needs a head adjustment
Heck ya bud I love my 1UZ swapped MK3 Supra! Absolutely epic platform.
In 1992 I had a 1990 MK3 factory turbo. That was a blast and just so fun. With what you did is a Evolution of power for the car. Good Work
Tough as. 🙏🙌
Can't wait to start my 1uz
Better than any modern plastic BMW engine
