The Strongest And Most Reliable Automotive V8

It was not easy for this engine from the beginning. It was a new series and its failure would mean a failure of the very new brand Toyota had been planning for some time. It had to be good and so they rather over-engineered it. The UZ series is a dinosaur today, but who knows it will take his hats off. Not only it is an incredibly reliable engine for over half a million kilometres or even miles, it is also massively potent for any further power modifications.

The UZ is FAA rated for Aircraft use. Not very many street engines can do that.

[srdanielsan]

My first car was a sc400 at 17. I abused the crap out of it and it never let me down. Been owning 1uz powered cars ever since

[Xayuap]

wow, I though this was a video about reliable engines,
then I realize we are talking about the humanity's master piece

[audriusbaranauskas]

Great video! No wonder Toyota/Lexus put so much effort and money into this engine and the LS400 - it was the first Lexus ever, their debut model for the US market - they couldn't mess it up, and they didn't.

[NFLdom]

When I was 17 and stupid (thinking I am invincible really), I had a 1993 Lexus LS 400
I was on a road trip to Edmonton by myself, and no cars were on the highway, I topped out at 253 km/h and the governor then kicked in. What a car

[travyboy]

Had a tundra with a 4.7 2uzfe, great truck, never quit running, almost 300k miles and it still pulls like a mf

[mcmobius]

That plane with the V8 sounded badass.

[jakethomasgarner]

I had a 1995 LS400. I miss it. If all the maintenance is done, they will just keep going! Beautiful engine in a beautiful car

[reinhardvandermerwe]

In South Africa we've stuffed them into everything from Corollas to minibus-taxis.

[dawnpoint]

My first car was a Lexus GS400. When that got totaled, I bought a GS430 the same night. Once you live with a UZ, you can't live without!

[mitchell]

One of these came into the place I work today, 530, 000km on a 100 series land cruiser with the original motor, not one tick came from it, I was amazed.

[aaronburratwood.]

That’s a real good sounding bunch of engines.

[Dansk]

Very good engine. My bro had the LS400. The only car he's had that literally didn't need constant repairs since he's very hard on his cars. Unfortunately he wrecked it

[backyardrestorations]

Such a under rated channel. So informative and entertaining!

[Oddman]

Ok, that engine in an airplane is the coolest sound I've heard on this channel.

[thatcarguyUZ]

There are 2UZ engines in 1st Generation and early 2nd Generation Tundras with over 1 Million miles also. I love my 2UZ in my 2003 Sequoia. It’s a wonderful engine!

[dmotors]

Good to see You used my video at the end 😊. The v8 sounds awesome in my boat.

[PhamVans]

I remember when my friend bought one of these a few years ago...

Couldn't believe it was a v8, she ran like a dream.

[stephencook]

Very good video! My 98 LS400, with all original drivetrain, has just crossed over 500, 000 miles this past month. I also own a 92 SC400 with a thick rod 1uz and my wife drives a 4runner with a 2uz. The SC is manual swapped and I have a turbo on the side just waiting to go under the hood.

[captainsidewinder]

My 94 ls400 ucf10 is on 1, 100, 000 miles and still running strong 💪 one of 3 v8’s ever made certified for aircraft use, all I know is it feels incredibly strong, the non vvti 1st gen engines are the monsters
