TLC 80 Series Swap 1UZ-FE

[TLCFJ40]

I fail to understand why would someone want a LC for drags or racing purpose. U can not compare a light weight surf v6 with a heavy lc 80 with a 1fz-fe ( not knowing if it was even tunned or not). Was the engine on that lc tunned to perfection even if it was do you really think their is a comparison between a lc80 and surf 3400cc. 1uz is a fast engine but the weight of lc80 will matter. Some one i knew put the same 3400cc in a lc 80 and the rig was having problem handling peer sahawah climb. Power to weight ratio matters a lot. 1fz-fe can be tunned to give out more than 1000hp. Google it....if u wana play drag get a civic...or get a hilux and put a 1uz in it...

even if you put 1uz there is no guarantee you will be faster then surf as the diffs ratios gear will be same .etc

@TLCFJ40 @qwertypoiu

I didnt knew that much , That with 1uz installed still i would have no gurantee , So u guys suggest i should look into the tuning of 1FZ ? Any idea about the cost of it ?

[Bhutto]

I have a budget of 230 to 275k .

How about installing a CT-26 in 1HD-FT, How much bhp and torque would increase ? It will cost nearly 1 lac till here in pakistan .

I completely disagree. 260 hp, even 300 hp does not make a "beast" unless it's in a car that weighs under 3000 lbs. The 1UZ in my CJ7 moves it quick, but I doubt it will be much of a beast in a LC80 that's at least 1500 lbs heavier.

Actually, the 4.1 ratio diffs in the diesel LC80 are better suited for the 1UZ than the 3.7 ratio diffs of the FZ version. It will make up for the comparative lack of off idle torque. If you choose to use an auto tranny behind the 1UZ then even the 3.7 diffs will be fine. Remember, the 1UZ revs effortlessly so you don't run out of RPMs if you use a 4.1 ratio diff.

The 3400cc 5VZFE is an anemic engine. It makes less power than even a 3.0 L 2JZGE out a Crown. Its not much to write about in a Surf, so I can imagine how dismal it must be in a LC80.

All in all, I would advise sticking with a 1HDFT. It's a marvelous engine. You can start with simply increasing the boost on the stock turbo, instead of upgrading the turbo right out of the gate. Google will give you plenty of results for easy 1HDFT modifications. Plus. there's nothing quite like driving a high performance diesel. No petrol engine can deliver the same kind of torque

Don't have his number on me, but pretty sure someone else out here must have it. On the gear ratios, I thought that the 1HD-FT ran a 4.1 in which case it should be fine. In any case, unless you have access to a really good mechanical/electrical team, you should not be doing this swap as there are a lot of places where someone could mess things up. Its probably much more fun playing around with the 1HD boost and all. There is a video of an IJC drag on Chilas airport somewhere (the 2011 Deosai thread I believe), whereby a 1HD TLC80 gives everyone a surprisingly good run for their money so it may be worthwhile experimenting with what you have before you start cutting things up. All the Best!

Yeah actually at the moment , my budget is not allowing me to do experiment on a swap . I was thinking to upgrade the stock 1HD .

@TLCFJ40 @anyone

Can you give me some idea about the price a 1FZ-FE these days? Also, how much would be the tranny?

Thanks

I was also wondering about swapping the 1HDFT with a 2UZ. I'll most prolly get the gearbox that comes with the 2UZ but what about the differentials? The car is a selectable 4x4 and not an all time 4x4 TLC80.

if u desire manual h151f is good for all of the following...1hd-ft / 1 hd-fte / 1uz fe / 2 uz-fe. If u want a auto tranny a343f is the one u should go for. Will Always suggest to stay as close to stock setting as possible if u don't wish to live in a workshop. For 80 series 1 fzfe is the best option plenty of power low maintenance and millage 6 in city 7 highway with a light foot. Good part it simply is a bolt on.

If you go for a 1UZFE non-VVTi version, you might get away with mating a Prado 90 transfer case to the original A341E off of the 1UZ and making a A341/A343 hybrid using OEM toyota parts

If you go for the 1UZFE VVTi however, the transmission is an A650E 5-speed auto that will be a bit more difficult to mate with the transfer case (LC80s or LC90s). So a custom A/T gearbox to transfer case adaptor will be needed.

The A/T that came with the LC80 is an A442F.

Can you shed some light on the 2UZ too? Like whqt gearbox or would thr 1HD one suffice and the differentials would need replacing or would these hold?

For 2uz its best to use its original gear which is A750(5speed) with its original uncut wiring and drive by wire sensor you will also need to have original keys as it has immoblizer(few 2uz from tundra dont have 2uz)

Go for 1FZ-FE with turbo!

There is one engine lying around in pindi turbocharged japanese engine and he is asking 5.5 lac for whole setup, may be by giving old engine he will less some price!
