First start of the 1UZ vvti engine. Click for the video!

I’ve removed this engine from a Lexus LS400 for my BMW E46 1UZ swap build which had immobiliser issues so it was not starting. The seller told me it was running so I was hoping I got the truth… I was curious about the engine condition so I built this basic setup with a basic “loom”, Megasquirt standalone ECU, switch panel and fuel tank with pump. I was lucky so my smile was big. 🙂
