I know big business in the USA

You must be thinking of a different engine mate. The 1UZFE engines are so over engineered that they rarely ever get opened up let alone re-conditioned.

Anyhoo, they come to me looking like this....

What Vince said. Reconditioning a 1UZ with like for like parts would be the definition of crazy anyway. They currently retain a very cheap market value so if one did go bang just put another one in. It's cheaper. Unless it went bang because you tuned it to within an inch of its life. In which case a like for like rebuild would be silly and you would want to be fitting forged internals. On that subject a guy on one of the Facebook groups was testing to see how much boost a stock engine could take. It went bang at 25psi. The only thing that went was the head gaskets. He's going to fit upgraded gaskets and bolts and try again.

it was on American ebay, wasnt the 1uz think it was the 2uz and the 3uz didnt know there were so many varients

#442 by Bushwhacker , Sat Oct 31, 2015 11:56 am

IUZ is the 4.0 V8, alloy block and heads.
2UZ is the 4.7 V8, iron block alloy VVTi heads. (Can be found in Landcruiser Amazons)
3UZ is the 4.3 V8, alloy block alloy VVTi heads.

Sunderland did ask me if I fancied putting a 3UZ in. But they're more costly to get hold of so I opted against.

#444 by 123hotchef , Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:04 pm

u opted for the 2uz didnt u luke

#445 by Yoda , Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:07 pm

1UZ pal. That's the common one for conversions. 1UZ VVTi less common. And I've heard about a few 3UZ conversions but not seen any.

#446 by 123hotchef , Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:10 pm

ah right seen lots of 2uz in the states for sale

#447 by Bushwhacker , Sat Oct 31, 2015 7:24 pm

They use them in a lot of SUVs and 4X4s over there, Sequoia, 4Runner, Tundra etc.

Yeah not a common swap option here as they're in the newer (expensive) LS 430 and SC 430.

how dow the 2uz lumps compare

Slightly more power and a lot more torque than the 1UZ, but a much heavier engine as it's a cast iron block.
