Toyparts Industries Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 well since it seems as tho most people seem to think the conversion will be lost in a drift car and with me not being a mega cashed up slider like josh... lol... so i suppose the idea is a bit lost now that a few have put in their opinions understeering unbalance drift car doesnt sound right to me...

Toyparts Industries Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 lol yeah I'm kinda getting the impression to go to other avenues of fun... diff already locked and did consider a turbo 4ac... so either maybe turbo 4ac or paradise racing built 4ac... gotta start a new topic for this shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerhead Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 There's a twin turbo lexus V8 GT4 celica on toymods, so lets face it anything is possible. Â Go for it Mulkers, if your first post on the club lies anywhere within the realms of reality I can't wait to see the final product.

love ke70 Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 id give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoop Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 don't let anyone put you off man, if thats what you want then i say go for it!. There is a sprinter in melbourne with a 1uz in it and its engineered, and i'm pretty sure there were no firewall mods either. They share the same engine bay so it should be a piece of piss. See how ya go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 True, run a w58 +Dellow kit and you'd get it in there without firewall mods. You just need an oversize shifter hole or a low mount custom gearbox cross member. R154 is a nicer box, but the install is a big job. Such a light car shouldn't be eating W boxes for lunch too easy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raff_gsr Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 hey champ I'm interested in this conversion too, but in a KE30. check out www.1uzfe.com its a bloke in america who has done the conversion into a ke20, no firewall mods at all. From memory, he is using a c4 auto with a dellow bellhousing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollaboy2608 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 the idea is a top one, but as most have commented on this topic, it really depends on what you want to use it for. It maybe fine for a drag application, but any sort of track work, you may as well forget about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 If I were to put a 1UZ-FE in a small car like a KE70 or AE86, I wouldn't cut the firewall. Instead I'd spend the money on getting someone to make the 1UZ-FE hook up to a Porsche 944/928 transaxle. That way the weight of the gearbox is transferred to the rear (the diff and transmission become one unit), taking a lot of weight away from the front and putting it to the back. Suddenly you go from really front heavy to only very slightly front heavy, possibly even evenly balanced. It'd cost a fair bit (mostly on getting the independent rear suspension setup), but damn it'd be worth it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
