Toyota V8??

Does anyone know of any Celsior or Soarer kits that come with the 4lt quad cam v8??? My dads putting one in his 1:1 hilux and I was going to build him a model, an engine would make it awesome

Tamiya's Celsior kit has the 1UZ-FE engine.

Awesome, my LHS has one of these cheap, thanks alot

Soarers have v8's? Aren't those the solara in the US?

Soarers have v8's? Aren't those the solara in the US? yea i think they are...though...i dont lknow much on the subject

Soarers are the Lexus SC series here in the states

No Soarers are the funny round Lexuses, the ones with the long hoods. I don't think they sell them anymore. -- After a little research looking around the Japanese Toyota website and comparing cars, the Soarer is now sold as the ugly Lexus convertible here in the U.S. The SC. Way to ruin that car....

The ones with the Long hoods were called SC as well ;)

Soarer=

-the SC300 had a 3.0L V6-slowly becoming a popular car to put turbo 2JZ GTE's in
-the SC400 had a 4.0L V8
-the NEW SC430. Very pimp. hard folding convertable top (like on MB SLK320), 4.3L V8. This car is in the game The Getaway btw.

Hmm, so it's possible to put the V8 in my fujimi trueno instead of the 2jzgte TT from the f n' f supra. SHIT. Now I can't decided.

The Soarer or Lexus SC400 is a very common grey import in Australia, comes with 2.5TT (1JZ-GTE), 3.0 straight 6 (?) and 4.0 V8 (1UZ-FE) sorry for the confusion.

V8 in an Ae86? That's what i call...ambitious

V8 in an Ae86? That's what i call...ambitious
No, not ambitious. Just me, I'm addicted to the raw torque and power of an N/A V8. I roll up in the fetal position and cry myself to sleep at night, because I miss the pure torque and power of my 454SS. I need to get one of those V8's to put in my Corolla.

Well someone in Australia managed to fit a TT V8 in a ~70's TA23 Celica so if they can do that you can fit one in your Corolla :evillol:

sweet. you know where I could get some pics of this?

Hmm..Ill see if I can find out, I think there are only pics of the car before the engine conversion though

Whatever you can post is helpful. Now, I've got to find this motor in a junkyard somewhere, or from another car. Then, figure out how to mate it to the 5speed that's in my car now. heh, that's gona be sweet.
