the 2UZ isn’t that much more powerful than the 1FZ. It only gives you 40 extra hp and 35 ft-lbs.
The LS3 gives you an extra 240 hp and 150 ft-lbs.
The Wits end turbo pretty much nullifies any desire to swap in a 2uz.

Though I acknowledge those published numbers, when you drive a 350 lb. heavier 100, you could easily make the mistake that it has 100 more hp and twice that in torque over the lighter 80. That's why virtually no one complains about the 100 having too little power, yet MOST do about the 80.It’s funny, when you look at the numbers, the 2UZ isn’t that much more powerful than the 1FZ.

I agree with all of this! 2uz in an 80 would be perfect and all Toyota.Though I acknowledge those published numbers, when you drive a 350 lb. heavier 100, you could easily make the mistake that it has 100 more hp and twice that in torque over the lighter 80.

Now, I'm certainly not suggesting the 2UZ is some sort of power house - and it has virtually no performance mods available - but it IS a Toyota engine that's easily capable of 500,000 miles, doesn't leak, doesn't use oil, etc. In my opinion, a 2UZ with an a343f would be the best Land Cruiser Toyota never made........plus, there are just those of us who want to keep our Toyotas all-Toyota
HAHA! You'll win all of them! No doubts there.......When Jerry gets his 2UZ’d 80 done, we will do a few races against this 80 (or my my 60 to make it more fair):
-quarter mile race
-timing belt, starter, alternator replacement race
First one to finish takes all
In the event of a tie, we will see who can go further on a tank of gas
Another 80 Series gets enough power
That's f'ing rad, Cam!
What's the rest of the drive train? Will it light up all 4 tires?
My '97 has recently experienced a massive miss in the motor which caused the check engine light to flash and throw a P0304 and P0300 code. While all this was going on, the entire truck and dashboard shook like I was riding on a flat. The condition cured itself and I cleared the codes. The injectors have been cleaned. Where would I start to investigate the cause of this miss?
So, let’s bring the 80 tech back to the top! I don’t know many of you personally but let me just say that I’m a fool for wrenching, not much of a wheeler but enjoy the revitalization of an old truck or tractor! My son and I are doing just that on a couple of 97s.
I have in fact enlisted Cam and his machine shop to get my 1FZ-FE builds into a long block that is planned well for the Wits End Turbo Kit. Cam and I have been strategizing on the make up of our builds. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing his shops head work and am all in on their head chamber work. Both my local Herrin Gear Toyota parts dealer and PartSouq have been good parts sources for the Toyota parts we have been fortunate to obtain. Of course, Wits End has many of the necessary items for a rebuild ready packaged at a reasonable package price as well. I delivered some clean metal to the Memphis man, Thanks for the coaching, CamView attachment 2001636View attachment 2001637View attachment 2001638View attachment 2001639View attachment 2001640
