Matt300ZXT Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Im on my phone so i cant link to any pics or anything, but is anyone familiar with a lexus 1uz v8 swap in a quest down in the atlanta area? Guy said he got it in a trade butknows nothing ababout it. It has a 5 sp, autometer tach, dual exhaust and wideband i think. Was just curious if anyone knew someone who built one so i could try and track down some info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINASQ Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 He has build thread on it in the engine swapper section. He helped me with my swap also. His 5sp is from a KA 240sx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainstreaM Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I saw that the other day. 3500 though? And he basically calls it a POS? Mitsubishi Starion with a Lexus 1uz-fe v8 engine and a 5 speed manual trans smission for sale. It might be an 87. I don't care. It was a TSI car so it is the wide fender. I got this on trade and don't know much about it. All I know is this car is not for me, I actually hate it. Runs and drives. Dual 3inch exhaust, braided AN for fuel and clutch. Leather interior. Autometer 5 inch tachometer. Wideband AFR gauge. I don't know much about it so I really cannot put too many details out. Hood is bent from flying up. Windshield not damaged. 3500 obo. Get this s*** out of my yard. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/sat/cto/4343642689.html Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
