Ls400 V8 Into My Is200

[MeMo]

Hi guys, some of you will know about the swap im doing and some will not, for you that dont know i have put a 1UZ-FE V8 Engine into my IS200

be back in 10 mins with all the info :)

[Parthiban]

That sounds very interesting indeed, can't wait for further info :winky:

[cho]

That sounds the nuts, I didn't know there was enough room!

[MeMo]

Hi all

I started my Conversion on my IS200 some months ago to put the 4L V8 1UZ-FE thats in the Lexus LS400

The Engine has done 120,000 miles but then so has my IS200, so i dont only have the engine i have the rest of the car as well to get some bits off. as its been done before........i have get all the info i need, the gearbox is going to take most of the time to do as the LS gearbox is auto and i want to convert it to manual...........i know there are 2 or 3 gearboxs out there that will fit but i will have to swap the bellhousing over for a custom made one, that i will be geting from ThorRacing

as for the ECU.........I will be useing the LinksPlus standalone....ECU

as for fueling, i will be keeping the std njectors for now. i have all so run new lines from the tank to FPR to fuel rails & return lines

dont think i will have to mod the sump like on most Conversion,s on the IS as the sump on the 1UZ-FE sits at the front of the engine so it should fit over the cross member on the IS,

the good thing about this swap is that the 1UZ is an all aluminum construction that makes it just as light as the 1G-FE + The Rods are factory forged units, + it has factory forged crank as well.

I will be useing the (R154) 5 speed Supra box, once the car is up and running that is, to start with im useing the auto/box from the LS400

..............some more info to come & pic,s as well :)
