The Strongest And Most Reliable Automotive V8
Рет қаралды 337,026
Күн бұрынIt was not easy for this engine from the beginning. It was a new series and its failure would mean a failure of the very new brand Toyota had been planning for some time. It had to be good and so they rather over-engineered it. The UZ series is a dinosaur today, but who knows it will take his hats off. Not only it is an incredibly reliable engine for over half a million kilometres or even miles, it is also massively potent for any further power modifications.

@footballcoreano I’m a mustang guy first off. I own two now and have had 16 total in my life. I’ve got the ford V8 tatted on my throat and the running horse on my back & the only Japanese car I’ve ever owned is a 90k mile JDM ‘98 Subaru Forester. I’m a fan of the mechanics that go into an engine and I can appreciate all kinds of engines from Porsches to Mercedes and GM & Ford and Toyota & Nissan. Every company makes great engines like the GM LS series down to the lil Chrysler 2.2L POS in early caravans. I’m far from a fanboy Haas, I buy, build, race, rebuild, & race some more. Get off your high horse Bud, these comment sections are made for good times not bummers like you. PS, what I was referring too is the nice firing order sound of these motors too. I’m a huge mustang fan and I know the coyote is an amazing engine but I truly do NOT like the sound of that engine. It’s that odd firing order that does it. However, that 5.2 Voodoo motor with that flat plain crank is the sound of my dreams. I’m building an oldskool 347 pushrod stroker for my current project but if I could line one up it would have a big turbo Barra in my ‘84GT T-top. I do like the DOHC 281 4.6 litre engines Ford has made as well. I’ve had two of them, both all aluminum. One was running great with 160k on it in a ‘96 cobra and I blew the other one up with 68k on it in an ‘03 Mach1. No power adders or anything. I’m a Mustang guy but I can appreciate just about anything out there, the fact is that driving is fun.

I bought my 92 LS400 in 1994 and still use it until now. It does everything a car should do except get the fuel economy of a hybrid, like my son's Camry hybrid. His Camry is a wonderful car but the old Lexus is quieter and smoother.

I've owned a bunch of cars. My Toyotas are the only ones I never worry about when going on a roadtrip. You never have to worry about being stranded, budgeting so you can have it towed/fix. That is why now I never drive anything else. Nothing better than a Toyota.

Ive got a 99 gs400. I got it April of 2022 with 199k miles. It now, in August 2023, has 238k. I drive 100+ miles a day. I do the occasional burnout and swing it every now and then. Routine maintenance, and its never given me any problems. Already been the best vehicle that ive ever owned...by far!

Having run a limousine company for roughly 25 years, the 4.6 liter V8 that the Ford Motor company put in the Lincoln Town Car (I don't know if they still do) was virtually indestructible. IF maintained properly. 300,000 miles easy, often much more. The rest of the car would fall apart before those engines went.

I have an is200 sitting dying for more oomph, I was initially gonna slap a td04 on it and hope it doesn't blow up, but I've been toying with the UZ idea for a year or two now, engines seem relatively easy and inexpensive to find and it seems like a straightforward swap, again relatively speaking. I think this video sort of put me over the edge, sounds fucking glorious and its reliability is very tempting too
@markmcgrath9098 2 жыл бұрын
I don’t know the ‘how to’ parts but I do recall seeing and manual swapped IS200/400 local to me. Everything like that has to be engineered (costs $000) and certified here in Oz and I don’t know if it got through. Haven’t seen it about in ages. Was a top sounding vehicle that went hard. Just do it and send it!
