Nice looking ute, just used the stock auto from Crown. Any other questions feel free to ask. Cheers, Tony.

Hi, are you guys running stock transmission? Is it possible to ground or open the o2 sensors via relays or transistors to force open loop so as to keep normal load signal for desired transmission shift pattern and transmission line pressure. I know this would log codes but if all else works it...

How did you go with dyno tune? I am currently getting close to being ready for tuning with SMT6 but want to force open loop for higher load tuning and keep closed loop operation at lighter load as standard.

Hi guys, I haven't dyno tuned the vehicle yet, I wasn't happy with the 5 PSI boost that the original blower created. Wether boost is low due to air being denser with use of intercooler I don't know. I have since replaced the original supercharger with another m90, it has a larger rectangular...

Radiator for intercooler has been finished, still have to make reservoir and fit all components for intercooler. It's taken a while to get any further as we are expecting and my wife has me doing house duties (painting etc). I have organised engine builder/tuner local in Orange who will do tune...

Doe's it really matter which way radiator is connected ? The engine has done at least 10000 km's in this way pre supercharger in 40 degree heat and no sign of overheating even with a/c turned on. My radiator guy doe'snt think it's a concern either.

Radiator for intercooler is being made at the moment and should be ready when I come back from holidays. After that I will get dyno tune and let you all know what the power figures are. May be three to four weeks away.

Hi all, Has any one managed to stop torque reduction on gear shift with standard transmission and computer. I have manipulated shift points full and partial load but would like to stop timing from being pulled on gear change which is slowing vehilce down.(slightly) My engine and trans are from...

Thanks for your help Andrew, little bits of info and help from all makes projects like this one happen with greater ease and success. Regards, Tony.

Measure up if soarer sump will fit before going to the trouble of getting one. Custom sump may be what you require depending on what engine is going into.

Whats it going into, from what I have seen no 1uz has what I would call rear sump. Only custom sumps have rear sump design as far as I know.(CRS etc) On my Courier conversion to save money I made adaptor plate between mid sump and oil bowl to move back 50 mm to clear drag link, it was either...

Tappet covers have been swapped and spark plug/belt covers needed cut and shut to swap from left to right. Didn't have to do this and wouldn't do it again as not perfect result on plug covers.

Its in my 94 Ford Courier Space cab. Reason for the ATW cooler is to reduce risk of air leak and loss of controll or lean out due to throttle bodybody being fitted at inlet of blower not manifold, same reason flange plates fitted between intercooler and ducting not silicone hoses.

Blower is of Ford Thunderbird as is inlet with bypass, outlet and duct to manifold. The blower pulley is from Bullet which I had to shorten the pulley boss to align with belt. If using one of these blowers on 1uz it would be good idea to get a blower pulley with extended boss to save having to...

Ive finally got some pictures of my blower and intercooler, still have to connect radiator for intercooler and then get dyno tune. Fells pretty good with the tuneI have done so far, doesn't look great but should work good when finished. Traction from take off already lacking so should be fun...
