Engine for Drift Toyota KE70

Nice idea! but there is a lot of work required tho.. like cutting firewall and all. Project might be too big for me to handle...

does 1uz come with manual gearbox?



hard to find a nice condition sr20det halfcut nowdays.... not to mention, the price of sr halfcut :shot:

i believe there isnt a pnp manual gearbox, all need to be adapted to match. (googling says many use W58 or R154)

I don't think the 1UZ came with a manual box stock, there is a western guy I knew in Thailand who did a 1UZ conversion on a BMW e30 using a manual box, be he seems to have disappeared. (hope he is OK)

He did a thread about his swap here:

I think he used a toyota R154 gearbox from a supra.

there is a thread here about manual options for the 1UZ, all sounds complicated TBH

A 2JZ Turbo would make similar or more power and can find one from a Manual Supra OEM spec would probability be less headache.

Recently I saw 1uz project at the workshop.
Not sure what car, but the gearbox just too big until need to cut open center portion to make perfect fit. Not road legal car tho... Hehehe

the guys car is a track-only drifter. Who cares!


drift_hks bro. It's all about customing at this point. That's the only way you'll get anything to work with a build like this.

But honestly - I'd rather have less headache and mod the 7E engine to make it rev happy and just go with that.
