Thanks. So that means the throttle response issues have nothing to do with the pedal box?

We bought a pre-wired 3uz from S.A. that came with a Hilux electronic accelerator pedal box. I think it's called a flyby wire set-up or drive by wire. [Not sure]. The car has always had issues with throttle response. The engine response doesn't match throttle input. Eventually the ecu went bad...

Bad idea. Topic closed. Thank you George.

Oh dear... ... Only if it comes with fries. Thanks for clarifying that Zuffen. It's a 96 engine. I asked about cutting the ignitors not the cold start injector. I'll just drop the whole idea all together. Cheers.

SC400 Exhaust Flames I'd like my car to shoot some flames like the sc400 in that link above... Without tinkering so much i.e spark plugs in the muffler or flame thrower kits. Is this possible? I've ordered a glasspack muffler, exhaust is single straight through as well. Also, would putting a...

It turned out to be an LS400 Y-pipe. Someone just cut it after the merge... I think they were interested in the cat. Thanks

Hellos, I'm 98.3% done with my V8 Corolla swap, but right now what's worrying me is how low the oil pan is. It's a front sump 1UZ from an LS400. Question: Is there anything I could do to the oil pan [cut/weld/massage] to raise it farther up away from the ground to gain some clearance? Even...

Hahaha... thank you for not disappointing me.... I knew someone would say something silly :)

So I went over to see it today and discovered it's probably an LS400 or Crown Y-pipe . Too bad half of the Y section had been hacked off and put on another project. Would it be possible to modify/weld the collector part back together and still get good results? :(:( Here are some...

A friend has this Y-pipe in his garage storage and I was thinking of using it for my v8 but none of us know which car it came from. Thanks

I know it's silly to resurrect this after 11years, but was it sorted? Wat diff ratio was finally decided upon? Reason I ask is that I'm in kinda the same boat. 1uz in ae70. W57, 195/50-15 ... I want it to be really quick but still drivable on the highway. ...

PROBLEM SOLVED: So i finally managed to wire up the stock AFM. All i did was deloom the wiring of the non stock afm and it revealed the join with stock wiring/colours. The stock AFM already had a cut plug so it was easy to see which wire goes where. After i fired up the engine and it was a...

Thanks, i'll wait till you return.

I've managed to get the stock AFM but the colours of the wires are different. I've connected the plug anyways but engine cranks but wont start or idle now. When i put back the non stock one, the engine runs. Below are pics of both units side by side. Am i missing something? Can you help me...

Today i turned the afm around to face the right direction but there was no change. Instead i think it worsened. Car wont even idle without some help on the gas pedal. Looks like i need to find the stock plastic unit with part # 22250-50060. I hop it will resolve the situation. Cheers.

You're right, it's a different afm. The one i have is # 22204-22010. Comes in a number of cars including the vvti 2002 crown majesta, among others. However, i bought the engine prewired from SA and that's the afm they sent with it. I googled a contact number of the people who sold it to me...

Thanks for your reply "gloverman" The ecu i'm running is # 89661-50241. I'm not sure about the AFM offhead, but will confirm first thing monday morning and let you know. (Car is still at the workshop...and theyre closed on sundays). Cheers.

Sorry i forgot to mention that it's a manual transmission swap and the powersteering system was totally deleted. Not sure if it's the tiny vacuum hoses that are not plumbed right or something. I've attached a pic of the engine bay. (I know it's a mess)

Hellos, This is my first post. I'm a fresher. I just completed my 1996 non vvti 1uz swap with stock ecu after 4 years. But i cant seem to fix the followiing issues. I need some help. 1. BLACK SMOKE. We've been running the engine on open headers for a while without noticing any smoke. But...
