- The moment you've all been waiting for; the engine install! It actually ended up going in more smoothly than I thought. With that done, we can finally move on to other tasks! There's so much more left to do than I thought...

Just popping in to say dude, youre awesome. here I am yet AGAIN referencing your vids for things Im starting to button up on my car.
This is the celica UZ swap BIBLE!!!!
you are literally awesome. thank you
Hi, I just found you on CZcams a day and a half ago and I absolutely love that Celica built. I’m doing a similar one except the engine is going into a Corolla. I appreciate your videos so much, because they’re answering questions that I didn’t think would come up in my build. I look forward to seeing the project come out. Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks so much for the note! Glad it's showing ya the nitty gritty details.
Yet again I’ll have to wait till school is over to watch 😖
Do you want a 7am premiere instead?
@@winguard96 I get to school at 7 and I can’t use my phone then :/ Don’t worry about me, release it at your own convenience :)
@@twotone_ra6558 Alrighty! I'll leave it set for 6am PST / 9am EST
Not only entertaining, but a great resource for people looking to 1UZ swap their ra64/65!! Love it man, keep up the great work!!
Thanks man!! Exactly, you can watch the videos or read the forum write-up too, whichever you prefer. And I'll continue to get every gritty detail!
Fits like a glove!
Yes sir! That LH exhaust manifold is gonna give me problems though...
@@winguard96 Well, like you said, stuff like that happens when you go custom. I know there is going to be some fab work involved to replace the VG30E with a VG30ET in my S12.
I definitely plan on doing this when the time comes! (But with 2 less cylinders ;)
I wish to partake in a competition of speed with you once this V8-minus-two swap of yours is complete. 😉 twotone_ra64 vs. twotone_ra65 !
Wow that’s an awesome swap..!
Amazing work
Mom and pops helping? Awesome lol
Hahah right?!
@@winguard96 my dad is a mechanic and has been helping me with my ae86 silvertop swap
@@krakdaus5442 dude awesome, what a cool dad!
Also I can't wait to get your driving impressions and a cost breakdown
I'll definitely be making videos of both! 😄
That's amazing! Curious to hear about the weight balance now and how the chassis behaves.
Thank you! I am curious as well - I performed some suspension upgrades along the way, which I'll release a video about later on!
@@winguard96 thanks, that would be great to see also. I was interested in that too. I know our cars can use some odd parts from other makes.
The 1uz is only about 60-80lbs(depending on the version) more than the 22re so people usually move the battery to the rear and have approximately stock weight ratio.
@DearSX Yep! I've used 1991 MR2 inserts for the front (assuming you cut ~40mm of the strut tubes) and 1987 Camaro rear shocks. Mustang shocks work too. Here's a write-up of I had on my car: www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?topic=30743.0
@Freddy Mendoza Precisely why I did my battery relocation! The stock Pb batteries weigh ~40 lbs, so moving it to the rear offsets the front weight by ~80 lbs! Should definitely help the balance of the car.
Wow, this episode was chock full of neat and interesting accomplishments. Nice work 👍🏽
Thank you!! Stay tuned for more. 😄
Love seeing this build man. Cant wait to see your car finished
Thanks, glad you're enjoying it! Stayed tuned for more as there's still plenty to do. 😎
Awesome!
This is all I needed to turn 2020 around.
Nothin' like a good SCS video to lift your spirits. 😊
Impressive work!
Now I'm tempted to attempt this swap on my 1984 mk2 celica supra.
Thank you! I think you should totally do it. I know Supra owners love their straight 6's but this is one heck of an upgrade, IMO.
Awesome build Man. Great job!
Thanks! Please stay tuned for more videos.
Nice!! Congrats on the build bro.
Looks so good in there
Thanks!! Like it was meant to be, huh?
Matrimony forever.!!
Let's UZ swap the world!!
They'll overtake LS swaps. 😋
great videos. wish i have this much time and resources.
Thanks. You and me both! This is as much as I can do in my spare time working 50-60 hrs a week. So now I'm down to a video every two weeks.
my dream build for my 83' rona...awesome video!!! question..what g.box is it?
Nice 😄😃😀
Slow progress salon 😜 keen to see an update mate
Oi I'm sorry! Work responsibilities got in the way, but I'm clearing that up and will resume again soon.
@@winguard96 totally understandable mate! Hope a new episode soon
@@Itsfranklyfrank thanks mate! I promise the next episode will be a good and long one. Then a comprehensive wiring guide right after that!
your videos are vary helpful. i am doing the same swap as you but unfortunately i have to go a bit deeper into the engines. i would love to pick your brain on the swap!!!
Thanks! For the real nitty-gritty details of the engine internals, I'd suggest checking out CartuneNZ's channel, all he does is work on 1UZs and has a lot of good data on them.
@@winguard96he knows his stuff i emailed him about two months ago about wiring harnesses but its a bit out of my price range, not saying i cant do it my self but to avoid the headache lol.
i would love to show you my car and show you where im going with it sens we are doing the same swap, but watching your videos have helped me.
@@chriswampler8631 I'm glad my videos are helpful for you! Keep an eye out for the next couple of episodes, I will be doing a comprehensive wiring guide And making a video about it. Been a little bit busy with work so haven't been able to make any new updates recently. But just wanted to let you know that's what's in the works!
I forgot to mention, that coolant line that was affecting your an fitting clearance underneath the TB can be deleted. You can actually mod the throttle body and save lots of space making the engine look cleaner. CartuneNZ made a detailed video on this mod. I'll look for it and send you the link here:
czcams.com/video/ZB40HpvCOf0/video.html
czcams.com/video/b7BzPntymbU/video.html
Hey thanks for the info Larry; I've seen these videos from Kel before, but I can't really delete any of the TB coolant lines because of how they are tied into the IACV and EGR systems. It would raise a red flag during inspection, and I would like to make sure my car is California emissions compliant. Changing the fuel line setup to use the stock hardline and a -AN fitting seemed to work out well.
@@winguard96 Anytime! So you can delete the EGR as well. I understand the need to keep it CA Compliant. Trust me I'm in Cali too but, isn't it already a red flag when it has a different engine from the 22R-E?
Nope, the EGR must stay. Well yes, if you take it to a smog station; that's why you first take it to a BAR referee station to have the car inspected, and then you get a sticker saying the car will smog as an LS400 instead of a Celica.
Builds coming together great. Was wondering what pulley your using for the power steering delete? I’ve been searching everywhere with no luck.
Sure is, thank you! I will be highlighting it more in the next episode (or two), but I'm trying to adapt the idler pulley bracket from a '06-'08 GS430 (3UZ) since they have electric power steering. Toyota part# 16607-50010. Mounting depth matches the Series 1 1UZFE, but not a lot of options for mounting bosses. A forum member made his own idler here: www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?topic=30533.msg438947
@@winguard96 thanks a lot i’ll be sure to watch the video thanks!
Hi bro nice work, did you change the rear axle?
Rear axle is stock, but with a zenki AE86 TRD 2-way LSD!
Im going to be doing the same build but with a 82 celica and this series is really helpful. But I've been hearing a bit lately that the car chassis might not be strong enough to handle the v8 or something like that?
That's awesome!! No, the chassis is not the weak point; it'll be the rear axle. If you know that you'll be abusing your car for drifting or motorsport, then I would recommend upgrading that. Ford Explorer 8.8" axles are a common upgrade, and parts/gear sets/custom axles are readily available. If you decide to increase power beyond stock, then the transmission is the next weak point.
@@winguard96 thanks that really helps me out and I was also wondering about what coilovers to put in it?
@@kalabityjak Pleasure! Not a whole lot of options. You can either build your own, like I did:
www.celica-gts.com/forums/index.php?topic=30743.0
...or adapt MX73 Cressida coilovers with S13 tophats. In the near future I will be working with a supplier to create bespoke coilovers for our cars. :)
@@winguard96 cool thanks and when do you think you will start selling those coilovers?
@@kalabityjak No time estimates yet, since I'm trying to find local folks with cars who are willing to loan them for R&D and pay the kickstarter fee. I'll definitely be posting updates about them when they're ready though!
Bro I just seen this I have an 84-85 celica I just blew up my 22re can you help me with a parts list
Start from Episode 1, I go over various parts you'll need for the swap! 😊
Bro where are the follow up videos
They're coming, work has picked up and I've been busier than ever; expect a good and long episode this month! Thanks for checking in.
