This is basically the exact car and swap Im planning to do, so pumped to get a good look at any issues and work out whats what. Good Luck!
Awesome man, can't wait to see yours too! Thanks! :)
So glad you’re doing a series on an ra64 build.. I’m planning on doing this swap and you’re the only person I’ve seen that does videos on this car in general thanks heaps bro
For my first time here i love the intro it basically summed it all up💟🤣
greetings from jamaica, im doing a similar swap for my mk3 supra...thanks for putting out these vids, 1uz is such an amazing engine..
Nice man. I'm looking to restore a 85 gts hatchback and need help finding parts.
I want mine back. I sold mime 4 kids ago.
Will be following this one for sure!
this is a well done swap. nice video fun to see! thank you
Hell yeah I’m pumped for you 🤟🏼
Thanks man!! :)
Wow very underrated channel! Happy that I discovered you definitely subscribed!
Nicely done. I like how you have this attitude that you are simply making a show that people might like to watch. I've seen too many car channels out there that are trying too hard to be 'cool' or 'loud' or something they are obviously not. Stick with it bud, I subscribed because I too have a celica and a 1uz that are currently not together. I also subbed because your video is chill and easy to watch!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that you appreciate the vibe, and I wouldn't change it at all! 😄 I hope the rest of the episodes are helpful to you for your swap!! Please leave a comment if you have any questions- I'll try my best to answer!
Hell yes
time to rewatch this entire series.
Always good to study the material again for the test. 😉 I know I've been slow to get new episodes out. Got no other excuse other than work taking over my life at the moment hahah. HOWEVER, my Miata is a ticking time bomb and that engine could go at any time. The misfires are getting bad. I have essentially a 3k mile timer to get the Celica done, and that's coming fast. I can't believe it's the end of March already.
@@winguard96 i 100% understand; im about to do the headgasket on my 22re and id say its the first major mechanical job im taking on by myself. This video series is gonna be playin in the background as i work lol. lookin forward to when life allows you to make more progress!
@@Nimbus. thanks man! Best of luck with the HG, they're not too bad in my experience as far as a HG job goes but big kudos for you taking it on yourself!!
Your videos are so pro
Thanks man 😭
im in the middle of a 1uz swap into my 1982 RA60. i'll have to keep track of your swap to get some pointers. cheers! ^-^
Awesome!! Please do follow along, and feel free to reach out in case you have any questions. 😎
ii got a ra 60 with the 1uzfe lexus v8 front sump in right hand drive running a microtech ecu built it 12 years ago its a good set up.
Just picked up a red 83 celica gt liftback very similar. 22re. 5 speed manual. rear ifs. love the car. I live in san diego we have a few pick a part type places. Defiantly about to start looking for this exact swap. Going to watch all these videos and follow you on insagram.
Awesome find. Dude, much appreciated!! Can't wait to see your swap take shape. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!! :^)
WOW
Man I found this after you posted a link on Facebook. Over the next year I’ll be gathering parts for a 3uz swap into my 85 supra.
So thankful your doing this video series, a lot of the forum posts/videos I’ve found about these chassis being 1uz swapped are a bit hacked up for my taste. It’s refreshing to see somebody who wants to do a proper tidy swap. Looking forward to using your articles and videos for inspiration!
Thank you!! Oooh, the 4.3L!! That'll be a fun one, make sure you get a standalone ECU or the A/T & immobilizer defeat boxes with the stock ECU! Yeah, photobucket killed all of their 3rd-party photo hosting so a lot of threads got messed up.
Subbed
Thank you sir!
thats my big bro
Ooohh shit! I go to that pick n pull!!!
Love it. That my dream car with V8. But my luck just AE70 harftop 1uz😢
Slapped that subscribe button for ya
Ayyy thanks man, appreciate it!! 😄
😯 I been thinking about doing something like that , but I couldn't find any documentation.
Hey I saw you at radwood a couple years back in san fran, I was with my buddy with his silver celica coupe from Oregon. Small world!
Yo, I totally remember you guys!! It was an '82 ST, carbureted engine, red mudflaps, and he'd brought a huge Toshiba boombox too. 😄
@@winguard96 Yeah that's us man!
I ended up picking up an 82 Corolla wagon a couple days ago that I've been working on myself. Currently dealing with some janky wiring, installed a new alternator and did an emissions and smog delete. You don't happen to have access to a weber 32 36, do you?
Hope you're doing well, by the way! Good to see you still seem to own that sweet celica I saw at Radwood! 🤘
He’ll yeah do this to my convertible
I want to do this to my '84 RA-65 liftback but I just bought it and it needs a lot of work before I can even think about engine swapping it lol.
Little steps!
I have a 1985 GTS, Convertible... it is a lot of work but I assume such 100 HP + will give a nice kick!
Me too
With this series coming out I’m wondering if I still want to go with the beams or if I want to do the 1uz......decisions....
ITBs with the BEAMS 3SGE is gonna sound tits, but it's that low-end grunt I'm after. That's something I at least liked about the 22R-E; torques!
A good choice of engine for the Celicas including the MKII Supra which I'm planning to do on my 85 MKII. GREAT VIDEOS of your build btw. Thank you for sharing. I've got a question. What needs to be done or what is needed to meet California smog requirements?
Thank you so much! For CA smog you'll need the stock ECU, all four O2 sensors, the EGR pipe and solenoid system all hooked up, and all three CARB-legal cats (two pre-cats, and one main cat). That should be for the 1990-1992 1UZs, according to my local smog guy's smog equipment reference book.
@@winguard96 thank you for your reply. Was it difficult to fit all 3 cats on your RA64?
@@winguard96 were you able to get it approved for smog by the bar after you got everything on the car?
@@igorotabatan8963 not yet, I'm still dealing with wiring issues. I've found the root cause and will be posting part 2 of the wiring videos showing how I arrived at that!

Hi friend do you have the solid rear axle? If so how does the diff holdup?
I have a celica ta60 but with a 5mge swapped in. But looking for some more powerfull options and this type engine is alot cheaper than the 1j or 7mgte
Solid rear axle over here! I don't know how it'll hold up, but I'm confident it will. I also have a TRD LSD installed. Another popular option is the Ford Explorer 8.8" rear axle upgrade, but that's more money I suppose.
im swapping a 1uzfe in my 1985 celica supra, are the harness connecters the same?
I.... am not actually very familiar. I would imagine the wiring is /similar/ but not exactly the same. Best I'd say is to refer to your wiring diagrams. 😅
I want to do this to my 85 liftback, The engine 1UZ is bigger, I do not know if it is necessary to change the suspensions.
The 1UZ only adds 60lbs over the stock 22R-E, but I think you should definitely look into suspension upgrades simply from the massive increase in power. :)
I just scored a 1983 celica supra 2 months ago trying to figure out if I want to swap out the 5m.
Drive it, enjoy it, and then see where you want to go with it!!
I want to do this to my 84 SA63 so bad
You should!! And when this series concludes, you'll know how to!
Hi there! Great video series! I'm trying to do the same and this has been so helpful. Question: did you pair up the original W58 transmission with the 1UZ or did you get another transmission put in? If so, which model?
Hello Jiawei! I'm glad the series have been helpful, I adapted the original W58 to the 1UZ. You will see in later episodes. 😃
I have an 82 and want to do the same swap.
Get to work! ;-)
What gear ratio are you running??
Transmission or final drive?
@@winguard96 final drive
@@fattstune1377 final drive is 3.58:1
The face diapers were a joke.. thanks for being so compliant
