In 1998, a marine derivative of the UZ powerplant was produced for boating applications. The 4.0 L VT300i engine, producing 224 kW; 304 PS (300 hp) at 6000 rpm and 420 N⋅m (310 lb⋅ft) at 4200 rpm, used the same block as the UZ engine on the Lexus SC 400, GS 400, and LS 400. Applications (calendar years): 1998 Toyota Epic S21 [11]
Tests conducted on the new engines showed an acceleration for the SC 400 for years 1992–1995 of 0–60 mph in 6.9 seconds, years 1996–1997 in 6.7 seconds, and years 1998–2000 in 6.1 seconds. For the SC 300 an acceleration 0–60 mph in 6.8 seconds with the 5-speed manual and 7.2 seconds with the 4-speed automatic for all years. [ 16 ]
A starter solenoid is an electromagnet which is actuated to engage the starter motor of an internal combustion engine. It is normally attached directly to the starter motor which it controls.
