My IS-V8-Turbo - Marcus_1UZ - 18-05-2017
Hi guys, some of you will know about the swap im doing and some will not, for you that dont know i have put a 1UZ-FE V8 Engine into my IS200.
I started my Conversion on my IS200 over 2 yearsago to put the 4L V8 1UZ-FE thats in the Lexus LS400
The Engine has done 120,000 miles but then so has my IS200, so i dont only have the engine i have the rest of the car as well to get some bits off. as its been done before........
as for the ECU.........I will be useing the IS & LS ECU,s for now just to get it running but next year i will be puting the LinksPlus standalone....ECU in the IS
as for fueling, i will be keeping the std njectors for now. i have all so run new lines from the tank to FPR to fuel rails & return lines
dont think i will have to mod the sump like on most Conversion,s on the IS as the sump on the 1UZ-FE sits at the front of the engine so it should fit over the cross member on the IS,
the good thing about this swap is that the 1UZ is an all aluminum construction that makes it just as light as the 1G-FE + The Rods are factory forged units, + it has factory forged crank as well.
..............some more info to come & pic,s as well

well as most of you know, i did the wireing 3 weeks ago and she started for the 1st time about 3/4 days later, im hopeing to have the car back on the road in about 2 to 3 weeks, as there is still some things that need doing, but the hard work is all out the way now....

UPDATE!!!
I have just got my hose,s for the Rad! i can now connect that up at long last..... I took my turbo houseing to a HotRod place last week, to have a pipe welded to the outlet! so when its fitted the hose will not hit the manifold, i got a call tonight from the HotRod place and its all done :drool: but the only time i can get over to pick it up is next week, just 1 or 2 things to do now, 1 or 2 weeks away from puting her back on the road
