S13 with 1UZFE 4 litre V8 - Page 4 - Drifting forum

uncle silvia · 13-08-2007, 23:22

Finally we are getting a few silly engine conversions in some UK cars!
Different makers engines in different cars and random combos!!

Congrats on being very brave to do something very different!!

It will sound amazing (P.S. can you build 2 engines so I can put one in my Corolla

)

mouwt · 14-08-2007, 01:49

Good work with the donut!
I have a perfect 1uzfe here in "sunny' Ireland if you want and another spares engine.

I agree - The U.S have been putting us to shame with their crazy engine conversions (tbh it is a LOT cheaper out there), but we're starting to catch up thanks to cars like this!!

Get some aggresive cams in there - Lumpy V8 idle =

Diskovod · 14-08-2007, 18:29

Niiiice!
But there are some aspects you should care about, such as weight balance and firmly fitted V8 engine holders.
To my mind it'd be better to move the engine a bit backwards. Dude, think about the weight balance really.
Anyway, I'll be watching this thread. Good luck to ya.

p.s. fit teh LS400 rad also, V8 engine if used for racing, especially drifting, needs some good cooling system.

iic, the s13 has a big ass Koyo one

**SteveDunn** · 14-08-2007, 19:19

Yeah, hoping to use the Koyo, depends on how it all fits together.

Weight balance - It should be alright. I've driven front heavy cars in the past and done ok. The only way I can move the engine back is to cut the bulkhead to bits, which frankly I can't be fricking arsed to do

Cams - They'll be a bit mad, so will satisfy your lumpy idle request, Quail

Mouwt - Cheers mate, but after a bit of searching it seems there's enough engines available a bit closer to me. Cheers for the thought though

Colonel K · 15-08-2007, 21:57

I thought these engines were relatively light? Probably wrong

DriftLexus · 15-08-2007, 22:06

the v8 engines are very light for there size..., much lighter than my 2jz, infact there lighter than the std is200 engine!

Jim · 15-08-2007, 22:08

Yip, compared it to the 7m boat anchor and the xk engines in the garage at home and got a shock, guess thats the benefit of all that lovely alloy

retrodan · 15-08-2007, 23:42

2days bloody hell, like i said should have pm'd me mate would have been ut in hours dont frick about, and ah i see why it was misfiring and running shit, theres a hole in my bucket!!! ur plans are deffo sexual mr dunn and glad u got the balls to do this shit man!!! turbos for the lose!!!n/a and itb's ftw

garethr · 16-08-2007, 00:12

There's another one on the other side of the world (well, a Silvia....)
1UZ into S13

**SteveDunn** · 16-08-2007, 01:04

Yep, I've been chatting to Neil about getting the manual transmission parts. He's getting back to me with some prices soon

Nick · 16-08-2007, 03:25

steve did you use your might man fists to break that engine?

**SteveDunn** · 16-08-2007, 08:37

No, some fricker popped a cork. The wine bottle it came from was quite old and resulted in the cork reaching supersonic speeds, before eventually hitting the engine whilst it was parked in my workshop. If I ever find them, whyioutta!
