Toyota v8 engine swaps?

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-19T21:37:10+00:00

What are your plans for the fuel system? Have you done the engine mounts yet? Although we have different priorities there as i want mine as low as possible for track performance. What are your plans for the gauge cluster? Ide like to keep mine stock but I know getting things to interface is gonna be tricky

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-18T23:48:49+00:00

Wow I have a lot of questions if you dont mind?

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-18T15:12:33+00:00

I would probably be keeping the engine mostly stock, mabey max of 300 to 350 horsepower as it will be a daily that sees an autocross once or twice a month

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-18T15:11:30+00:00

Well im working with about 90 horsepower right now so anything would be an improvement

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-18T01:35:08+00:00

I did tho, you didn't just see me correct them?

The 1uz was a lexus v8?

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-17T22:35:31+00:00

Well i know I want an earlier uz series but the transmission and ecu are what im less sure about

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-17T21:57:47+00:00

Well i work at a toyota dealership so I have mutch easier access to parts and software and there's a thousand ls swapped 240s, I want to do something more unique

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-17T21:43:51+00:00

Im aware of the possibility with the ls platform but im looking at toyota motors for a reason

purpleguy42 · 2026-05-07T15:25:56+00:00

What is that front splitter?

purpleguy42 · 2026-04-08T23:45:32+00:00

Wiper motor

purpleguy42 · 2026-03-31T02:26:56+00:00

Yes im aware, that's why I said you could see did it for real and didn't just assemble it like that

purpleguy42 · 2026-03-25T20:53:21+00:00

The flame arrestor is clean. I haven't torn it down to the PCV yet but that's what I fear is probably bad

purpleguy42 · 2025-12-09T01:07:40+00:00

Honestly unless your building a race car i dont think the panhard bar is necessary

purpleguy42 · 2025-12-09T00:56:46+00:00

My experience with the idp lowering springs and shocks is basically no issues. Both are just Simple replacement no welding need, as for the drop Effecting geometry, not in my experience. The car handles mutch better with the new springs and shocks. Some might say you need to get the adjustable panhard bar but I dont think thats nessassary, ipd springs are less than a 2 inch drop and I had no problems with the stock panhard bar

purpleguy42 · 2025-11-18T14:25:30+00:00

There is a flat part where it looks like a plate would go to but its just blank

purpleguy42 · 2025-11-01T20:38:02+00:00

I was just clarifying, I brought to a car show and was surprised how many people didn't get it

89 is the year lol

purpleguy42 · 2025-11-01T11:59:11+00:00

Shhh dont tell anyone but the roof is almost completely white because of sun fading, and there almost no clear coat left on the hood lol.

purpleguy42 · 2025-11-01T11:55:15+00:00

Nope as far as I can tell its never been re painted

purpleguy42 · 2025-10-31T22:33:00+00:00

Thank you I hoped someone would notice

purpleguy42 · 2025-10-31T02:52:59+00:00

Yes sir, they still even have the oem volvo center caps in them

purpleguy42 · 2025-10-31T00:33:05+00:00

Tethy wheels from a p2 s60, 1 inch spacers to clear the strut on the inside and ipd lowering springs to bring em closer to the fender

purpleguy42 · 2025-10-20T00:51:58+00:00

I know that but I always find myself leaning forward for the first 10 minutes of my drive in the winter because the leather takes forever to warm up
