2uz-fe

Hello, I recently bought a 2004 gx 470. Upon checking the coolant, it has this gray gooey stuff insider the radiator and overflow tank. No engine lights, doesn’t over heat, no smoke from tail pipe. Maybe the previous owner tried to fix a head gasket leak with a liquid head gasket repair kit. The...

I have a 1964 Fj40 that I am retromodding to be a rock crawling rig. I bought a running 1999 lx470 to flip for a profit, but ended up considering the idea of swapping that drivetrain(Engine, transmission, transfer case, and rear axle) into the fj40. The original plan was to swap a Cummins R2.8...

Hi everyone, So I have searched the forum and have not found a similar thread to mine, so the issue is that my lc100 with the 2UZ engine always takes a long time to start on the fist crank. However, if I switch off the engine right after it starts and try to start it again the car starts right...

Hi everyone, this is my first post. After years of wanting to own a beast, I finally have one. I’ve recently purchased a 1988, 75 series LWB. I want to upgrade the engine and had either diesel 1hd-fte or the petrol 2uz-fe in mind. I also plan to swap the gearbox for an auto ( sac religious I...

I am in the middle of rebuilding a 2UZ-FE VVT-i out of my 2007 Sequoia after I hydrolocked it and snapped a connecting rod. When I tried to put the driver side camshafts in the head they would not sit right but I decided to tighten them anyway because that is what my Haynes manual said. When I...

Hey guys I’m currently working away so can’t measure it but want to replace my 100 series muffler as it’s abit wrecked and I might aswell get some better sound while I’m there. I have searched high and low through the forum Along with other forums and emailed Toyota dealers but have found...

I have a 2007 Toyota Sequoia Limited with the stock 2UZ-FE engine. I have read that in either the 06 or 07 models Toyota began to add VVT-i to the 2UZ-FE and in doing research I saw that the old TRD Supercharger doesn't work with the VVT-i engine. I am looking to put a supercharger on my engine...

Hi all, long time lurker parting with a complete TRD supercharger kit off my 2004 Sequoia. Charger worked fine and made boost when installed but I have not mechanically opened it up for inspection. I don't need the power, fuel consumption or complication with a new baby here so it must go! The...

Hi everyone, I'm a new member and this is my first post. My '04LC does not have a dipstick to check the transmission fluid level. How do I know if the transmission fluid level is correct and how do I check the condition of it? Currently with 137k miles. Was used normal driving not towing or...

Is it possible to replace the water pump without removing the timing belt and everything associated with it? I had the timing belt done 30k miles ago and should have done the water pump at the same time because now its going out. There is a ton of info and videos out there for doing both pump...

Hey guys, Anybody heard of a place that modifies ECU's for the 2UZ-FE engine that strips it down to the basic essential engine functions? I'm hoping for an ECU stripped of the immobilizer, emissions, and other uneccessary functions. Any leads? Thanks! -Kyle

Hi all. My daily driver wouldn't crank today. Summary of vehicle: 2003 UZJ100R, V8 petrol with 5 speed auto transmission. The engine is a 2UZ-Fe 4.7ltr V8. It has 240,000kms on the clock. I've only had it since the start of this year, and I suspect the previous owner spent a lot of time on the...

Selling the 2uz-fe out of my 2002 land cruiser. runs great. I've put about 3k miles on it generally got 12-13mpg around town and 15mpg hauling a small trailer, all highway to Canada twice. the LC has 330k but I was told the engine had 145k on it when I bought it. Doing a Mercedes diesel...

Looking to sell my LX 470. Recently overheated, engine is done. It has almost 420,000km on it. I am really trying to avoid sending it to the scrapyard, it would be a waste. I don't want to part it out, you purchase the entire LX. Price is $4500. The good stuff: Body and interior are in...

So we are looking pretty seriously at buying a GX470 for Rachael (03-08 seem to be in the price range). They come with the 2UZ-FE, which I love, as they are pretty well known for dependability and hey, it's a Toyota, I should be able to work on it when anything goes south on it. Quick...

I'm a former owner of a FJ62, but now have my sites on a 2001 LC. I'm in the midwest so all I have been able to come up with are great running (as far as I can tell based on a test drive) rigs with an absurd amount of rust on the frame/undercarriage (not surprised). I was looking to spend $15k...
