    Idle increases once driven

    Thread resurrection-- I'm having this exact same symptom in my otherwise fantastic swap project (using a 92 SC400 Engine/ECU/Trans). Any new developments or was a cure ever found?

    1UZFE into Ford Sierra XR4x4

    Thanks, that seems to be a common comment, and IMO is one of the highest compliments one could expect to hear about their engine swap. Yes, I kept it auto with the Lexus trans to get through BAR. I asked the ref about it, and he confirmed a manual transmission would make approval a...

    1uzfe Cooling Question

    1UZFE into Ford Sierra XR4x4

    If anyone's interested in any of this thread still, my 1UZ swapped XR4Ti is up and running, CA BAR approved, smogged and tagged. Still just trying to iron out a few more nit-picky quirks, but it runs and drives fantastic.

    1UZFE into Ford Sierra XR4x4

    Early Crown dipstick info needed

    Hi all, interested in using the early Crown thru-block dipstick on my swap. Any info and pics of this dipstick style appreciated. Is it just as simple as drilling a hole through the boss on the head? Does the dipstick just run down the oil drain from the head or is there a tube internally in...

    90-92 LS400 instrument cluster dimensions

    Can anyone measure the length, height and approximate depth of a 90-92 LS400 instrument cluster (without bezel or dash or anything, just the gauge cluster). I'm considering this as part of my swap and want to get a sense if I can get it to fit in my dash. Thanks!
