It was produced in three basic versions, the 1UZ-FE, 2UZ-FE, and 3UZ-FE. A modified version of the 3UZ-FE was used in GT500 race vehicles. The first variant of the Toyota UZ engine, the 1UZ-FE, was introduced in 1989 with the original Lexus LS 400.__TOC__

1UZ-FE

The 4.0 L (3968 cc) 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 87.5mm and stroke of 82.5mm. 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 connecting rods and crankshaft are constructed of steel. The pistons are hypereutectic.

In its standard, original trim with 10:1 compression, power output is 191 kW (256 hp), torque of 353 N·m (260 ft·lbf).

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 Convert|195|kW|hp|0|abbr=on and torque of auto Nm|363.

In 1997, Toyota's VVT-i variable valve timing technology was introduced along with a further CR increase to 10.5:1 bumping power and torque to 216 kW (290 hp) and 407 N·m (300 ft·lbf).
