3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 -VS- 4.0L 1UZ-FE V8
I wonder if there is anyone on here that had the honor to drive/own both of these engines??
I am particularly interested in finding out the differences in Fuel consumption... and offroad performance gains???
From the research ive done so far, ive noticed a handful of runners from NZ and AU have this swap.. and its known to be one of the best swaps for the runner. Ive seen youtube videos of this on runners that go very fast on the highway. but havent seen the performance in an off road setting.. Only this video of a 1uz 4runner HILL climb

Would this engine increase the runners performance in an off road setting? (ie low speeds)
any1 pls?
The 4.0 L (3,968 cc/242.1 cu in) all-alloy 1UZ-FE debuted in 1989 in the first generation Lexus LS 400/Toyota Celsior and the engine was progressively released across a number of other models in the Toyota/Lexus range. The engine is oversquare by design, with a bore size of 87.5 mm (3.44 in) and stroke of 82.5 mm (3.25 in).[1] It has proved to be a strong, reliable and smooth powerplant with features such as 6-bolt main bearings and belt-driven quad-camshafts. The water pump is also driven by the cam belt. The connecting rods and crankshaft are constructed of steel. The pistons are hypereutectic.
Its resemblance to a race engine platform (6 bolt cross mains and over square configuration) was confirmed in 2007 by David Currier (in an interview with v-eight.com), vice president of TRD USA, stating that the 1UZ platform was based on CART/IRL engine design. It was planned to be used on GT500 vehicles, however its subsequent use in the Daytona Prototype use was not planned.
In its standard, original trim with 10:1 compression, power output is 191 kW (256 hp), torque of 353 N·m (260 ft·lbf).[1]
1UZ-FE
The engine was slightly revised in 1995 with lighter connecting rods and pistons and an increased compression ratio to 10.4:1 resulting in peak power of 195 kW (261 hp) and torque of 363 N·m (268 lb·ft).
In 1997, Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology was introduced along with a further compression ratio increase to 10.5:1,[1] bumping power and torque to 216 kW (290 hp) and 407 N·m (300 ft·lbf). In the GS400 application, output was rated at 300 hp and 310 ft-lb of torque.
The 1UZ-FE was voted to the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1998 through 2000.[2][3][4]
Applications:[5]
* 1989–2000 Lexus LS 400/Toyota Celsior
* 1990–2002 Toyota Crown/Toyota Crown Majesta
* 1991–2000 Lexus SC 400/Toyota Soarer
* 1992–2000 Lexus GS 400/Toyota Aristo
* Toyota MR2 Le Mans Car
The 5VZ-FE is a 3.4 L (3378 cc) engine which replaced the 3VZ-E. Bore is up to 93.5 mm (3.7 in) and stroke is 82.0 mm (3.2 in) while the compression ratio stays the same as the 3VZ-FE at 9.6:1. Output is 190 hp (142 kW) at 4800 rpm with 220 ft·lbf (298 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm. It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum DOHC cylinder heads. It uses sequential multi-port fuel injection, has 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets and features large cast connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. It also features an oil cooler and coil-on-plug ignition.
Applications:
* 1995–2004 Toyota Tacoma
* 2000–2004 Toyota Tundra
* 1995–1998 Toyota T-100
* 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner
* 1993–2004 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
