1UZ V8 Coupe POW! (Slow Build)

[repda916]

starting a new project and ill update as i go. been collecting parts for sometime now. trying to buy parts here and there, tried to gather what i needed then put together.

Started off with a 91 Coupe with a KA24DE

Picked up a ls400 1uzfe motor from a dismantler in Rancho Cordova, CA
And started taking things apart.


First thing done was new timing belt
Got the Bottom crank at TDC:


L&R cams:


Dont mind the belt marks


New belt aligned:



New gasket kit (i will only be using a few things from this)



And here are all the parts i Have ready to go:
I Knew i wanted to go with a KA trans bc of how easy they are to find, and the 5 speed gear box i think will be good with this motor. plus i dont need a new drive shaft or trans mount.
So research led me to getting the following.

1uz to KA trans adapter plate
w/ TOB spacer
MR2turbo flywheel (Same spline count as KA trans)
300 zx Clutch Disk (Same surface area as flywheel)

I gave Brett Collins a Call and ordered what i needed.
BEEEFY! plate


And TOB Spacer w/ other parts such as
Injector seals
PBM coolant temp sensor housing thing
PBM shift Knob
