Interested to see the replies to this one as I have a 1uz in a 4wd - not to the same extent as your though looking at the pic

Not sure how they would fit but a lot of guys doing conversions use falcon twin thermos and shroud (I think it is AU falcon or possibly EF) cheap from wreckers or on ebay.

I have a spare sc400 motor which I could pull the sump and pick up etc off. The motor is out of a burnt out car so I will have to check that it is all in reasonable nick. I can only do it if you aren't in a hurry as it is right at the back of my parts/project pile (wouldn't be till after...

I am after a AFM to suit a Toyota soarer. I am in Newcastle but willing to pay for postage Cheers James

I am building a hilux with a 1ux and a few other bits and pieces and as mine was originally a diesel I need to change the original tacho to read the 1uz signal. I am also using a gearbox with an electronic signal so I also have to change out the speedo to an electronic one instead of cable...

I have wired up the relays pretty much as described in my initial post, I think the only thing I changed was pins 87 and 87A on the fuel pump relay and it starts and stops all on the hilux key the way it is supposed to.

Complete stab in teh dark but what sort of condition is the harmonic balancer in? could it be slipping?

Searching on here trying to find info and sort out wiring I found this comment a few times form someone who has wired up a number of cars and 1uz's i never run injectors or ignitors of a relay the ecu has 2 power systems one is efi relay other is power to inj/coils/ignitors all one wire...

I am sorting out the wiring at the moment. I am going to make up my own mounts but mine will be differant to yours as mine will all be sitting on a gq patrol chassis so I get coil spings on all for corners as well as bullet proof drivelines - I am also using the 4.2L petrol gearbox. Cheers...

G'day I am int he process of putting a 1uz (toyota soarer motor) into a 1990 ln106 sr5 body. There is plenty of info out there especially into hilux's. I am still trying to get my head around the wiring side of things at the moment. Cheers James

any suggestions on how I should be wiring these relays?

Haynes and Gregory's are both workshop manuals and are about $50-60au. I have bought one for just about every car I have owned. Great for just knowing the order of dismantling and reassemble parts as well as torque specs etc. I am not sure how detailed the wiring diagrams are though for 1UZ's.

HAHA, my wife is due to drop in the next few weeks so I don't have to worry about the whole short skirts and no nickers issue if I ever get the engine going. I was thinking of getting a Gregories/haynes manual for a soarer which should have some more info on wiring diagrams but will check them...

My ecu number is 89661-24220 and I think it is out of a 92 or 94 soarer. I searched and it looks like the ecu is from 91-94 soarers. I have been using the 1992 Lexus sc400 diagram and most I the wire colours and locations seem to be the same. Is there a better diagram I should be using? I...
