for sale i have (in the UK, North Devon) a Toyota LJ78 landcruiser transfer box, this bolts up to the back of a stock ls400 / soarer gearbox to get 4wd, This box will mean you end up with both prop flanges offset rather than the rear being central and higher up (as with hilux / hilux surf)...

Hi, i am planning to megasquirt my 1uz but wan't to keep the auto and the stock control ideally, just wondering what inputs the lexus ecu will need to keep shifting gears? i.e can i remove all the injector and ignition wiring from the ecu and leave say the crank and cam inputs, temp inputs and...
