so i’ve been planning a very sack religious swap with a 1UZ. I have a V6 dodge charger and i don’t wanna swap a hemi, i really love the 1uz with it’s reliability, smooth power band, and it’s relatively good swap price. im gonna be called the antichrist of dodge but that’s okay lol. i’m 90% sure the motor will fit, with space in the front for twin turbos down the line. so my question is that, what will i all need? i’ve got a list, but am i missing anything important that should be considered? here’s the list.
•for an ECU i’ll be going full stand alone, with the stock ecu for the little things like like doors n shit.
•i have a 8 speed auto i found a gcu for, and that will hopefully talk to the ecu as well lol
•driveshaft
•sensors (should i use all stock sensors or use a bunch of the sensors from the standalone)
•i have a v6 charger, whitch makes 250HP/250TQ, i know the first gen 1uz with the thicker rods will have around that exact some power figures so for fueling i know i could use the stock pump, but i’ll be rigging in a R/T pump to be sure. (5.7 hemi pump, makes around 370hp)
•sense the 1uz will only have 4 more torque than the 3.5 v6 i don’t have to worry about swapping shit like axles and the diff right away.
•brakes are brakes, might have to get better pads for the weight change but they’ll be fine
•cooling will be all after market, ill drop good money in cooling ( Mishi Moto must likely)
i thinkin i covered most of it. is there anything i should know that would be helpful? i knew this’ll be a bad idea to post in the dodge forums, they’re probably gonna hate me lol. and no i’m not just gonna buy a hemi charger because it’s easier or cheaper, that’d be lame lol. thanks guys
