Peter Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 This is just the start of something interesting. As it progresses I will try to keep you all up to date. As it stands the concept is to install the 1UZ and convert it to a manual box, possibly W58 unless I can fall across an R series to suit, but not withstanding the possibility of using the auto in sequential mode and taking advantage of the torque convertor lockup(100%drive and 100%engine braking).Needs more thought. I think it will be necessary to upgrade the brakes and the diff. I have some thoughts on these but at this point they need some more research. Don't expect this to happen overnight as I am just about to start building a HOUSE and this project will just have to fit in wherever possible over the next 6 - 12 months. OOOHHH AAAHHH GRUNT GRUNT.

irokin Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 would make it a UZE20 like the JZA70 supras ;) Quote
irokin Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 lol that about sums it up too....I'll find some pics of the 1UZ-FE RX4....show you what its gonna be like ;) hahaha Quote
Peter Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Posted October 2, 2004 Found a name for it, UZ = (Irokin's correct correction) E = EARTHQUAKE Suggestions ? Quote
Peter Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Posted October 2, 2004 UZE-ful (use to it's ful capability) UZE-less (use less right foot) Hey can someone edit the topic title to UZE-20 (or tell me how to do it) Quote
irokin Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 A more controlled approach this time...he had big problems coming out of drifts because the body would just roll all over the place and end up looping it... Quote
Felix Posted October 2, 2004 Report Posted October 2, 2004 (edited) haha, i can just imagine Pete, or Ryan at the motorkhanas........"where'd all the flags go?" Edited October 2, 2004 by Felix Quote
Peter Posted October 2, 2004 Author Report Posted October 2, 2004 I may be able to get rid of the rear swaybar now. Quote
Peter Posted October 3, 2004 Author Report Posted October 3, 2004 Another new name 'Rollex' Rol-la shell Lex-us engine MMMMM, style (totally lost on me though ) Quote
smitty1 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 This sounds like an awesome idea. I found someone in the states doing the same thing to a te27. http://www.geocities.com/cambo61/flea01.html This is the site. Ian. Quote
Teddy Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 Ahh where is pete these days? He needs to come back and give us an update ! Quote
Redwarf Posted February 2, 2005 Report Posted February 2, 2005 It's a TE25. If it was a TE27, I would personally have to go over there and hurt him. R Quote
smitty1 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 It was over in the states, and it was definately a TE27, but just the single cam ones, not a Trueno or Levin. Quote
