What happens when you put a 1,000 horsepower twin-turbo Lexus V8 in a 1971 Toyota Celica, with GT-R all-wheel drive? You tear my brain in half. Also you top 190 mph in a 1,000-meter sprint.

The inception of the Lexus brand was carried by the 1UZ-FE engine: a smooth, yet powerful V8 powerplant engineered for maximum comfort and reliability.

Toyota's 1UZ V8 engine was followed up a few years later by the 2UZ. While they are largely the same, there are a few changes that make a distinct difference.

For the Canadian event, judges voted for Kevin Huth and his 1973 first-generation Toyota Celica. After buying it off Craigslist, he initially considered swapping in a 1UZ V8.

The 1UZFe Toyota V8 under the hood comes from a Lexus SC400, having been gifted with an Eaton M112 supercharger, while the W58 transmission comes from a Supra.

Toyota's 1UZ-FE V-8 engine is famous for its stout reliability and relative cheapness. Found in the first-gen Lexus LS400, you often see them powering drift cars or road racers.
