Some of you guys might know about this; the project has been ongoing now for over four years and this guy Caleb from California has got enough videos on Youtube now (at least 70) that you can binge-watch if you want. Here's his latest video on the supercharged 1UZ he's swapping in. This...

Hi guys, Never been here before, but I now own a 1UZ on a pallet and I hear you guys know your stuff! I have done a search but couldn't find an answer to this specific question. Said 1UZ is going in an MX5, with an RX8 gearbox. I know that might seem strange, but I'm doing this as cheaply as...

Hi from Australia, I think I've been reading these forums since the mid 2000's when I was considering putting a 1UZ into one of my mx5's but I ended up selling my first supercharged mx5 and after that my turbo mx5. I was sports car free for a few years until 2009 when I bought a datsun 240z...

I'm doing a 3UZ transplant, and the donor had a funny issue. It runs, but if you stab the throttle it coughs and bogs. Engine is now running independently from the body loom, and having pulled the inlet snorkel off, it's apparent what the problem is. The engine will progressively rev, all the...

has anyone on here tried to mate a mazda rx7 or rx8 five speed gearbox to the 1uz, i have looked at all the toyota conversions and the look really good, only problem is the price of the gearboxes over here in the uk, i have looked at bmw m3, nissan 350 z, tvr t5 and many more, they are all so...

Very nearly there now! After a mild panic that I wasn't getting any oil pressure, followed by bit of swearing, a lot of prayer, some identification of stupidity and quite a bit of patience and we're up with plenty of oil pressure.

Hi All - I figured instead of jumping into some of your threads off the bat I should probably introduce myself. So hi, my name is Chris, I'm 19 years old living in Auckland, New Zealand. Over the past 18 months I built up a Mazda Miata that went from factory, to a clown car, to a show car, to...

I guess I should probably get going with the build thread, seeing as I'm already almost 30% into it. :) hope you guys don't mind, It's not that I hate keyboards.... more like, I like my Nikon more than I like my keyboard, kind of thing..... so I'm not going to be saying much. Will let the...

recently bought a wonderful "mx5/miata" with a 4litre toyota engine but sadly one of the pistons has low compresion so a major fix is required the fellow fixing it suggesteed the cheapest way out was to replace the currrent engine with another engine both the old engine ( apx 75 km) and the...

Hey all, have finally completed my conversion of a v8 powered bongo. heres a list of all the mods. Engine 89 crown 1uzfe. used factory style log headers heat wrapped. factory crown ecu. 2 and a quarter inch primary pipes into 2 hotdog resonators, merging into a 3inch pipe and a normal...

Having trouble with the 'search' function, screen just stays blank. I'm sure this must have been done, any links - info etc would be appreciated. Thanks John

Nothing to do with me, they're on SF in this thread: Stillen Side Skirts, JDM 440 Injectors/ Rail, N/A... and owner wants $150 OBO for the set of (6). These are the 550cc injectors for the 2nd gen turbo RX7, so they should be PnP for our harnesses, fuel rail and injector bungs. Not a bad deal...

I am planning an injector upgrade and have the choice of 440cc supra turbo (Denso 23250 42010) low impedance injectors (Slight mod required to lugs) or 460cc Mazda (Denso 195500 2010) high impedance injectors (Full plug and play) The ecu will run either but what are the advantages of...

Great site, lots of good info.. Week one - bought pickup Hi - newbie here........ My last two cars were rotary, RX7 & Cosmo, came across this little rotary converted pickup truck. Wanting power + economy + reliability sort of rules out the rotary so I think it's time to look at...

Help !!! I now need to mate my Toyota 1uzfe V8 alternator to the Miata harness, how do I do this and what wires to splice to what ? The Miata has 3 wires - Big White which is Batt + then white with black and white with green The Toyota alternator has 4 wires - Big Black which is Batt + then...

Hey guys, Im new to this forum. Heard alot about these motors, and its cool to see what you guys are doing with them, though it is giving me ideas that are only going to put further strain on my wallet!(I already have a full rebuild on the go). 2months ago I was given my nephews 1986 Mazda 929...

Is there anyone whos done this conversion (or a ford courier)?. Ive found a 4 litre lexus v8 (1uzfe) comes with a auto gearbox im keen to find a manual i just dont know what one i need. would a w55 supra gear box fit? Help would be appreciated. cheers

Just got some new pictures from Paul Carey. His car is almost done. I supplied the 2uzfe shortblock and he supplied everything else. He has lots of custom parts and will be breaking some records. Here are some pictures....

must be a great engine. they have already put it into their new cross-over SUV and the new MAZDASPEED6. even thought it runs 15 PSI, it has a 9.5:1 compression ratio. mostly due to the Direct Injection. must be a blast to drive. in the CX-7(SUV) it makes roughly 240 HP, in the MAZDASPEED6 it...

Hello everyone. I recently acquired an LS400 drivetrain (thanks for the tip Lex) and have begun swapping it into a Miata. I have started writing about it over at the Miata forums and have a few pics of the progress thus far. http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=161966 I'm in need...
