hey every one i found this site http://www.monster-performance.com
and was wondering if any one had used it or not? this site offers a 1uz to r154 bellhousing but the site looks kinda phony so if any one has any info that would be great thanks.

Very commercial Site.

I tried the Forum login and didn't get anywhere.

I wouldn't be surprised to see my computer crashes or my credit card is cleaned out in the next few days.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who runs http://www.supracharged.com/ he has had thread on http://www.pirate4x4.com for years now about doing UZ swaps in trucks and 4runners. I've not dealt with him so I can't say anything about that.

It is - it is SuperRunner here on the site. I emailed him a few months back and he said he was not currently selling any swap parts.

cool thanks guys for the help.

I like how the flywheel in the pic is not a 1uz flywheel. knotice 6 bolts not 8.

 

[SuperRunner]

Yup, just a generic flywheel pic.

Never have developed the site. Got a family and a 9-5 job.

I will be doing another batch of flywheels soon, and I might have a welde R154 bellhousing for sale pretty soon too.

If I wanted to swap an R154 into a sedan... what would be the bigegst hurtle? I mean if i had a bellhousing/clutch assembly and flywheel, would mounting the linkeage be the biggest mod? Or tricking the ECU the stock automatic is still there?

 

[SuperRunner]

if you got that, then you just need a driveline. You don't need to trick the ECU at all.

The issue that I see a lot after others swapped from auto to manual is the Tach doesn't read correctly. I hope there's a solution for that.

 

[SuperRunner]

From auto to manual? Doesn't have anything to do with the tach

 

[Jake Breyck]

the tech on a 1uz reads from from one of the two igniters, its a normal 4cyl tach output, it has nothing at all to do with the transmission, could you have ment speedo?

 

[stevechumo]

I'm not really sure about that, but that's what I remember from reading. Perhaps my memory betrayed me.

How hard is it to mount up a clutch pedal assembly? I am aware fo the custom balanced driveshaft needed but never had to mess with a clutch pedal.

How did you cast your bell housings?

I'd like to cast something like that for the v160, let me know please

I'm working on the R154 into Sedan swap myself, I'm planning on using the flywheel and adapter from Jake, also trying to investigate mating a 7m manual bellhousing and stock 1uz to try and use factory clutch fork ect.,

Do you know if the R154 trans mount will bolt or can be modified to fit the factory crossmember, or does a custom crossmember have to be made?

I want the shifter to come out from the factory location, Does a shifter extension have to be made?

I'm planing to buy a pedal from www.cncbrakes.com for the clutch and making a bracket it for it to fit, and modify the factory brake pedal to move closer to the accelerator aswell as making it manual size.
(I also want their staging brake for those times when understeer rears its ugly head )

I also want to see about swapping a JZX83 diff into the UCF10, Since they are both 3bolt, but I need if the output shafts are interchangable. The JZX has a 4:10 ratio, Would rather have a 3.9 but 3.3 is WAY TO LONG!
