Ok, I am have been looking for days for an effective engine in my buggy project. Essentially a sandrail but built for baja more like. Anyhow I have been set on the 1uzfe, lexus/toyota 4.0l all-alum V8. The main downside is that they were auto only. Through deep research, if it is not connected to an auto tranny then it will go in 'limp mode.' Which pretty much means it retards the timing as I recall and loses a lot of power. Thats what I have learned from lextreme, site devoted to that engine. It can be bypassed though bu screwing with the wiring.
Blablabla, just deleted a bunch of crap. Ok the other option seems to be the 1mzfe, as it is a all aluminum V6 (what I wanted at first but didn't know Toy made one). I mailed them to see if the "Toyota V6" adapter if for the 3vz's or 1mz cause I want all-alum.
Main questions, I am not very camry knowledgeable:
-They are avalible in stick, right? (no potential auto tranny limp mode)
-Do they go in a 'limp mod' if the speed sensor (1 or 2?) is disconnected from a auto?
-How much do they weigh app (engine only or complete with accesories), 300-350 lb?
-Have any sort of limp mode that anyone knows of that has fooled with the wiring a bit?
-What are the engine year variations? I DO NOT want VVT-i, what is the latest year of camrys before vvt-i?
-Can the O2 sensors be easily fooled with some aftermarket plug-in box thing?
Not many but I just want to know all of the strings to the engine that I choose before hand so I dont get screwed with a N/A application. Thanks.
