Just for something totally different: Hilux + 1UZFE

Thought this might interest some of you......

My father in-law got his Toyota Surf back yesterday (12/12/02) after a few months of surgery. Why was it in for surgery?

Well..... It all started after he mentioned wanting to replace the turbo diesel with a Holden V8 or V6, too which I replied, "no don't bother with that idea I've got a muuuuch better suggestion!" A 4.0L quad cam Soarer V8 (1UZFE). After he'd watched a few of my video’s with the 4.0L V8 Bullet Roadster in them he was convinced

Fast forward 3mths & *many* headaches later & it's back on the road I've yet to have a spin (later today) but from talking on the phone to him it sounds like fun It went from making a grand total of 42kw @ the wheels with the TD to 143kw with the V8. I've already heard it running & it sounds sweeeeet maaaate

Now I've just got to convince him to fit that supercharger :uh-huh:

That sounds pretty cool, my mate has now put the 1UZ into a HZ ute, a Toyota Surf and a Supra RZ (with turbo). They are a relatively cheap engine, bulletproof bottom-end and produce more power than many other V8's around. Post some pics if you get a chance.

See'ya:burnout:

It's pretty damn quick for 2000+kg!
