3uz-fe Mazda rx7 FD swap.

Rotary blown couple of times. No ****.
it's time for v8.
engine: ls430 3uzfe flyby wire.
transmission: fd3s stock Mt. Drive train hasnt been touched, means transmission and drive shaft are its on factory location
Custom aluminum flywheel.
Clutch plate and pressure plate used mitsubishi montero 1990s
location Lahore Pakistan
Custom mounts bolted on stock subframe

3rd quater view

At this point needs to drop more. Will do that eventually


Sandwich plate 3uzfe to Rx7 tranny

In this picture you can see the sandwich plate and flywheel custom made racing style

Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero 1990s


Here----------------------- ECU modifications
Been working on uz and jz series for pretty long. Hacking stock ecu is kind of my game.
This 3uzfe Automatic EUC will be modified into Manual Transmission. Traction control will be bypassed.
Modification list of stock 3uzfe ECU.
1: Immobilizer bypassing via hardware
2: Manual transmission Emulator via hardware
3: All nonusable electronics will be bypassed as well.

Picture and some videos of my previous work and Great help from my buddy the yury b. King of Toyota mods on ecu.

Awesome engine swap choice. 1, 2 or 3UZ engines under the right mods can make some good power. But, I’d see about getting a stronger trans behind it... The stocker won’t be able to hold that added torque, maybe try bumping up to a T56/TR6060 or CD009 by means of a Collins Adapter.

Either way good luck and excited to see the progress made

So...what are we looking at here? A wrecked car that has had a V8 swap? Appears to have had a sawzall taken to the front of the engine, looking at the hoses, etc. From the looks of that poor thing, it hasn't run in decades. Is this a project car? Is this YOUR car?
It has definitely seen better days, lol!

Exclamation Not a wrecked car

Hi bro, it's not a wrecked car, I have very tight space here, so I did remove front body parts, other sometimes things hit body panels, so don't want to damage the paint.
2nd its not standing for a year, in my country where I live, its all the time windy and dusty. My car is standing for only 5 days and this happened and looked like it's been standing for a long time lol. Yes, its v8 3uzfe swap. Due to regulation on import of new parts are very difficult in my country. Customs duties are hitting the skies, its like 200%. So for me going on 3uzfe is the best case here.
3rd Car was running on rotary last month.

Wow, it must be hard to work on cars with that much sand and dust blowing around. Do you think your previous rotary engines got hurt because they got dust in them?

I'm not familiar with 3UZ swaps, can you keep the stock ECU happy enough to run the engine or will it throw codes because some of the body & chassis modules from the original LS430 car are not connected? I'm a little surprised this isn't a 2JZ or 1JZ swap, is it hard to find those cars/engines where you are?

That's impressive that you guys have figured out how to keep the stock ECU happy enough to run the engine.

Have you guys experienced any reliability problems the soldered wire connections that were added? Heat and flux from the solder joint makes the wire weak, and vibration from an automotive environment will cause it to fail eventually. It would be helpful to protect the wires from vibration by using epoxy-lined heat shrink to protect the joints where you cut and solder the ECU header. Hot glue or electronics-safe silicone sealant will help prevent vibration where the wires have been soldered directly to the little add-on circuit boards, as well as additional hot glue to prevent the wires from moving around.

Rotaries blow up cause barely anyone understand them here.
Rebuilds don't last long due to no proper tools, engine builder etc which leads to them blowing multiple times...

Everyone swaps a 1JZ here. Idk why he is going for a 3UZ swap which is way more complicated than a JZ Swap.

​​​​​​, I don't see any complications of doing any kind of swap. Been doing it for so long feels natural.

my friend is doing v12 swap in FD, will share his work soon.

The most respected cars in history are the ones which stick to their guns, do things differently and make no apologies for it.

Keep the great work
