I happen to have a 1uz, as I abandoned the 300zx project.wrxratd wrote:After reading this thread about 17 times, i've decided against an ls based motor swap in lieu of this particular one, megasquirt and all. If it's not too much of a hassle, would you mind if i asked you questions about the ms portion of the build when it gets under way? I'm particularly interested in how well the ignition timing works with the dual distributors or if it would just be easier to use an LS1 CNP ignition setup.
Interested in selling it?300gte wrote:

I may be interested in that. How much were you looking to get for it? I am in the process of talking to a guy about picking up another engine. He wants $250 for it. lol I can't hardly pass it up.cation wrote:BTW Watty, I have a spare TB without the TRAC secondary TPS on it if you are interested.
Looking good!!!! Soon enough it will be on the road.cation wrote:It's getting close...
I had about $2k in my swap with everything including the Megasquirt and radiator. We did another for $2.5k. Kinda depends on what you want/have to replace and what kind of deals you can find on the components. The actual install and fab parts are pretty cheap if you have access to machine shop equipment.KAWhat wrote:This thread really makes me want to put a 1uz in my shell instead of a KA. Do you have ballpark figures on how much you spent (if you don't mind saying)? I figure we can fab everything up that we need to.
I'm right at about $1900 with mine and have caught a bunch of good deals on stuff. I have everything that I need right now to finish except time. I'm participating in the LeMons race in SC on the 12-13th of Sept. so all spare time is being spent finishing up that car.

Awesome! What year LS400 is it out of? If you intend on using the stock ECU and harness, I may be able to help you out with the wiring... that is once I get to the point of starting mine up and it actually works...KAWhat wrote:Well, found an awesome deal on a 1UZ. Complete swap minus transmission w/ 85k miles for 300. Picking it up next weekend.
