Carnage - Building The 1UZ-FE For Our Lexcen
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2023
- We're building the Toyota Lexcen that Toyota should have built, by fitting a 1UZ-FE engine to our Toyota Lexcen wagon. But first we have to put it together and that's easier said than done.
Street Machine Carnage is all about having fun with cars. Sometimes it's serious performance, sometimes it's crazy fun, but it always interesting and done on a budget.

One of the best things about this channel is seeing Scotty have all the same issues with broken and/or poorly manufactured parts that we all face in "the real world" too. For some reason it's comforting!
Ring manufacturing defect or bores that are oversized giving a large ring gap? Given the bores were not measured, I'm going with oversized bores since the motor has miles and was honed.
@@bobroberts2371 They were what, around seven thousandths over gapped? You aren't going to take seven thousandths out of a bore with a honing tool unless you are at it for hours, and you'd ruin the tool as they just aren't designed for that kind of work. A typical hone would be 1-2 thousandths tops. Normal bore wear is even less than that - if it's more, then the oil film has failed and then you are looking at a re-bore - and I doubt this engine has ever been apart before.
@@bobroberts2371 that was my initial thought, but being that the factory rings had such a tight ring gap on them kind of excludes that from being the case. Hastings are not what you would call a "top shelf" ring. They are kind of mediocre. I've used them a couple of times before, but prefer other brands where available. Scotty is not the first person to comment on the ring gap being too big with Hastings rings. Suggests a quality control issue.
Scotty has gotten pretty good at engine building it's enjoyable to watch
The control shown to not swear and throw things in the episode is rather impressive
Watching Scotty at work is very therapeutic. Come across a problem, fix the problem. I'm sure he gets mad off camera and throws everything around the workshop (except the shifters gotta look after the shifters) This Lexcen is gonna be an awesome street car.
4:01 I'm just here for the cleaning-the-crank-with-the-Winnie-the-Pooh-pillowcase content personally 😁
Props Scotty for not holding back on calling out beloved manufacturers like hastings and arp for having substantial manufacturing defects or mismatches in their products.. something like that head stud could cost a home builder like me an extra week from not having any access to a lathe or finding the time for example.. it's really not good enough.
Loving the build and looking forward to more !
You're right, it's not good enough. I'm kinda disappointed in some other people who didn't point this out until after the fact. I asked a couple people in the industry, that have experience with these engines, about the studs, and they all agreed that they didn't fit out of the box. Why is this a thing?
Well done Scott! It's taken me 12 months to assemble an LS and you can build a 1UZ in half an hour! Impressive :)
This was super satisfying to watch. The early model 1UZ rods are quite thick. Keen to see it with some boost in the Lexcen. I used to have a 1UZ, and often dreamed of doing what you're doing, but went down the 1JZ route instead.
I really love the JZ platform, but keen to see how the UZ performs
mate is it bad that i feel the best all week after watching a session of carnage with scotty, everything can be going wrong and it doesn't matter it's still the best way to start the weekend and forget the week. nice work Scotty looking forward to next week 👍😄
I love watching your videos because you are teaching me how to take care of my car thanks a lot
Alot of channels will show you how they do things from start to finish...minus all the bs in-between..not here, you get the harsh realities of working on your own car. 💯 quality as usual scotty 👌
Laid to rest my dad today. Although he wasn’t in my life much, you Scotty kind of remind me of him a little bit
Sorry for your loss mate
@@STREETMACHINETV thank you
I know it's sometimes a pain in the ass Scotty, but you're really doing good shit there. Like I said on the engine post on IG, it's coming along great regardless and I can't wait to see how it performs in the Lexcen! Keep up the great work mate!
Good work Scotty ,The five minute job! Only 1 broken bolt from being a 3 day job. Keep up the good work mate
True that
Great work mate. Glad you have finally got onto the Lexan. Looking forward to seingthis series and the end result.
scotty most builders recommend a 2th or greater gap on 2nd comp ring to relieve pressure on the top ring so dont sweat it you arent building a engine to run 500,000km.
these decks look nice and wide so you shouldn't have a head gasket issue.
hit up the skid factory for an upper intake cover that is suppose to make more power.
and you dont need to dunk the piston in oil before insertion.... (it should be moist not flooded) yep i said it.
good choice with head gaskets.
plz dont spray brake clean or what ever it is down bores before assembly you are undooing your foreplay (lube work).
good job mate keep up the content
I was close to scrap my 1UZ. But after taking it apart, it seems everything can be fixed. Your video is perfect because it is real live and not staged. Thats exactly how an real world rebuild goes.Wish you everything will go well.
Thanks mate
Love how you show the ups and downs. Great videos to watch and seeing your engine building skills getting better.
If skid factory has a turbo Yoga, and MCM has a moog then I reckon carnage should have Scotty the surgeon 😂 Love your work, Scotty and Friday mornings wouldn’t be the same without some carnage
Yoda he is.
Turbo yoga? 🤣 🧘♂️
@@craigsampson3386 autocorrect 😂
Today's thumbs up comes courtesy of... Attention to detail. Just because it is a re-bearing and re-ring, doesn't mean it doesn't deserve love. Probably the best engine assembly job I have seen you do. Bonus points for spotting the clearance issue before you damaged the cam.
You’s should do a ef/el 13for 1300 again to show young people how to get in to it would be awesome 😎
Hard to do now, everything is so expensive
Yep very true hard to do on a small budget now days 😅
Awesome, genuine episode. Will definitely be referencing back to it when I build my 1uzfe 👌
Great work Scotty your always so genuine especially with the real world minor hiccups you have (the same as the rest of us)
To many other Chanel’s cut out this
Friday highlight your channel and work
Cheers
this project has me subscribing! loving it
It's fighting you all the way Scotty!
It sure is, you haven't even seen the latest fuckery
Your a good man scotty
Faaaaark Scotty, Days like this you seriously wonder why you got out of bed maaate :-)
Stinky Valiant Therapy and an early day I reckon .......................
Technical Terms with Scotty :
Heavily on the piss = not straight, out of specification, leaning to one side
Hahaha when Scotty said I wanna stab something and camera man moved back got me laughing 😂
Some solid work done on a difficult engine Scotty, coming together nicely mate.
Great to see some non LS V8 builds.
💯 there are just too many like ye there good engines and it's easy to make good power on a budget but there done to much. Good to see something different well done scotty👏
My favorite engine looking forward to see how it perform good Job there scotty.
love your good old Aussie approach to stuff Scotty 😛😊
You are a fantastic operator Scotty. Loving this build mate.
Thank you
Mate, just love this channel, it's like I'm in the shed with my smart Aussie cousin 😁🇭🇲
This is going to be one hell of a stealthy Jap rocket of an engine!
Awesome mate.
Good progress, it’ll get there
23.57 the dreaded bolt ! 😂 I'd have gone home at the point love your patience. That's quite the design on the exhaust cam though.
Well it is coming together. With all the fun and joys. 🏎️💨👍
Good spot on the bolt as well Scotty, as much as its fighting you all the way i really admire the engineering that the Japanese put into the 1UZ
The engineering is amazing
"Some smart bastard thought of that!" Gold!
would you be able to make that bolt with just some bar stock with a hole in it and a decent bolt?
can't boil the engine if the water pump belt breaks, because the engine will stop due to cam timing out (non interference engine so no damage on this one i thought, big cams would change that though)
Heavily on the piss will be me at the football in Park Orchards this afternoon 🤣👍🍻
best and most simple commentary ever scotty love it, cheers
Man you are such a master of the ghetto engine build
XAT Racing here in the States is an awesome resource for UZ upgrades. Give Andy a shout.
Your resilience with this little niggling crap is insane scotty. I couldn’t keep coming back😂
a lathe? Come on Scotty, i have seen angle grinders being used before in the workshop. shorter stud, easy! 🤣🤣🤣
18:13 "lathe" (4" grinder)
Nah, actually, I did use a lathe
lol yes I was thinking lathe when he said mill. But it is still possible to mill 4mm off, just isn't the easiest way to do it. But I knew what he meant.
Ran into lots of problems along the way, but it will be worth it at the end, bolt for pulley from Toyota/Lexus?
Just went through all this drama myself, love hate relationship with the 1UZ, if you’re chasing a front sump I’ve got one in my shed located gippsland 🤙🏻
We found one but thanks for the offer
So good
Heavily on the piss 😆🤣😆 I farkin love it
Hey Scottie, any chance you can tell me what wheels you have on the Trolvo? I have gone looking in your old content. I cannot find where you mention it. Any help would be great.
Love the content mate keep it up
Street Pro Wheels from VPW, Volvo/Torana pattern on front, Ford pattern on the rear
@@STREETMACHINETV legends!!! Thank you
Wad thinking wayer pump driven off the cam belt may help with phasing harmonics🤣🙈👍
Same as "Beer_dad". Nothing better than watching real life builds where things go to shit like it does for all of us
Got a couple of those bolts here in wa if you get stuck.
Wouldn't you need to undo and retorque all the head bolts after removing one to avoid warping the head? Or is removing only one not a big deal?
I guess we'll see
Hello guys I'm a carpenter ,,love watching your show😁 what's a 1 Jay-Z
know the frustration, just been building a bp engine and its got a crank that was used for 1 year, and finding and getting a front crank seal took a month.
Glad you got it sorted but yeah, parts sourcing can be a full time job.
Putting so much oil on your pistons is probably another reason why your engines rings never bed in. A reputable engine builder told me to only spray the rings with WD40, I could hear the rings creaking in the bores when i barred it over during final assembly - but the thing ran in quickly and never used a drop of oil and I ran it HARD (He did this on everything including national championship winning engines) I actually like that Total Seal QUick Seat dry lube, you only use wd or crc and must have things 100% clean and it tells you if there are any contaminants by changing colour.
They bed in just fine thanks
Which cam did you install? Did you have the heads ported? There is inconclusive data on the cyllinder head flow. I've seen numbers that say it has as low as 140CFM@.500" and others that say its 250CFM@.500" un ported.
We didn't port them, it made over 600rwhp so I'm guessing they flow okay
The cams are Kelford Turbo cams, I'd have to check but they weren't too crazy
600rwhp naturally aspirated?@@STREETMACHINETV
Did you remove material from the top and bottom of those heads studs?
Just the top
You've got the patience of a Saint Scotty
Don’t forget to re Tourque those cometic gaskets after one or two heat cycles yes they seal a lot better when that’s done
This ep was fantastic Scotty, everything I ever do mechanically goes to shit every step of the way and it is very refreshing to see reality on YT
I love OHC V8's. Hence I love the Ford Coyote. Even the Coyote 5.0 punches above it's weight.
Cheers! You are better to watch than Steve Morris 😮😅😊❤
Steve is a top guy, I've met him personally a couple time and he has a wealth of experience at the top levels of the sport
inclined to agree Jude. I watched a couple of his videos and found his work to be kind of ordinary at times. He is popular with the OH WOW IT'S BILLET fanbois, who suck up to him badly, but the cost of a part doesn't make you a good mechanic. Having said that, he seems to either employ some smart engineers, or is smart himself. Not sure exactly how much of his engines he is responsible for. Anyone can make themselves look smart on TH-cam with selective editing, and there are those that tell the truth. Jury is still out on Steve. Scotty on the other hand is 100% genuine, and doesn't hide his mistakes so we get to see what is going on. This alone makes him more enjoyable to watch.
‼️HADOUKEN‼️
Genuine from the dealer for the timing belt tensioner bolt
HI ALL
as ya do on a monday morning make sure she is well lubed there scotty ya don't need a dry shaft this time of year
how fast will the wagon go Scotty?
OK, I want to know who ate that container of Cookies&Cream ice-cream?
Who do you think? Love cookies and cream
No judgement 😂❤
This new project you mentoined when are yas gonna reveal it? But its good to see the lexcen back👍
We want to get everything locked down before we begin
Oh yea sounds good guys. I actually just bought some merch from you guys can't wait for it to get here👍
@@rangrskidmotorsport27 thanks for your support
I don't think many Toyota Dealers were all that thrilled about selling a Holden as a Toyota.
Imagine how the poor Toyota dealerships felt... "Yeah mate we got rid of that state of the art (for the time) 3ltr four cam 24 valve donk, our new car's have this Neanderthal 3.8" lol
It makes me sad that I've never needed a bucket of some kind of lube to make things fit nicely.🙃
And I don't beep when it's tight.
Anyone know if there is a way to delete vvti / what I have to do to make the third gen not blow up
VVTI heads are different, so basically, you would be replacing the heads. VVTI engines just need better rods to make big power.
Me and the bolt are on the piss tonight
Wonder how many builders that don’t correct the faulty manufacturing great job the beer will taste better at the end
Ring manufacturing defect or bores that are oversized giving a large ring gap? Given the bores were not measured, I'm going with oversized bores since the motor has miles and was honed.
Is the wagon going too have full Victoria rego
Already registered
Do U use a degree wheel to dial in cams?
Nope
Cool
2002 Acura TL w/ K20 swap, Comptech MR900 on a 6-SPD MAN -
2003 Lexus IS300, 1UZ-FE swap w/ Bullet HTV2300 on 5-SPD Man
idk what to put for other parts cuz i dont have either in garage rn ssss
Not sure why they havent sorted those head studs, had the same issue
hey scotty, would it be worth checking bore size(s)?
Not unless I was going to do something about it
@@STREETMACHINETV best comment ever , there's no slap at TDC and the ring gaps are correct.
Sometimes you don't want to measure the ptw if everything else is within spec. Not knowing is better than knowing it's not a race car. If it sounds like an LS on cold idle so be it.
You would have a lot more carnage if you didn't see these faults 😅
True, but also trying to avoid an excessive level of Carnage
My guess would be contact Al at skid factory or Scott at nugget garage/Cleveland dyno yo see if they a car have spare bolt from blown up 1uz
I'm guessing they did exactly what I did
this bolt is ON THE PISS...hahaha a saying that fitters use...Go 1UZ GO SCOTTY
Hope your Mrs doesn't watch this episode, you'll be in big trouble using the Pooh bear cloth as a rage mate😂
That was funny. This engine keeps getting heavier. Lol. Those tensioner bolts should be replaced with every belt job. I'm not 100% on this because it's my memory telling me so. I know they're fucking tight and feel like they're going to pack dacks.
Probably a good idea
Mate where's the factory shorter head stud, measure it out to the ARP stud or replacement stud and then remove the right amount, like you said measure once before cutting anything?
The factory uses a bolt
@@STREETMACHINETV did you measure it against the replacement bolt?
2 camry 4 cylinders, plenty work there
Same piston size as Camry I believe
@STREETMACHINETV really? Aha amazing, now that's interesting, I did not know that
@@DeathBaseTURBO explains the 4L capacity
@tturi2 considering it was meant to be for Nascar and also supercharged, it makes sense
I'd like to see a top 5 comments mentioned in each following episode (PG rated lol) someone spotted the whinnie the pooh crank polisher rag for eg
You could have used a hacksaw to cut a slot across the head of that shortened head stud & screwed it in with a slot screwdriver. Pull it out that cam and do that now.
woohoo
Yeah bit of a piss off that you can't finish it, but these are the times you really want to find an issue or two, not later. So on that note, it's refreshing that you're able to see it, when stuff goes wrong. Shown where you need to put silicon, otherwise it'll leak on first run. This channel isn't about the me me me, it's about the project.
I would’ve just sent it without that head stud, plenty of others in there
Haha
Did you overnight parts from Japan?
Dubai
@@STREETMACHINETV The fast and the fatwa.
Maybe start a Phillip island
At least it was just a bolt for the timing belt tensioner that was a bit off & not the threaded hole in the water pump case that was drilled & tapped wonky... Could be worse.
It's worse
@@STREETMACHINETV oh dear 😅
