Thanks. So that means the throttle response issues have nothing to do with the pedal box?

We bought a pre-wired 3uz from S.A. that came with a Hilux electronic accelerator pedal box. I think it's called a flyby wire set-up or drive by wire. [Not sure]. The car has always had issues with throttle response. The engine response doesn't match throttle input. Eventually the ecu went bad...

Bad idea. Topic closed. Thank you George.

Oh dear... ... Only if it comes with fries. Thanks for clarifying that Zuffen. It's a 96 engine. I asked about cutting the ignitors not the cold start injector. I'll just drop the whole idea all together. Cheers.

SC400 Exhaust Flames I'd like my car to shoot some flames like the sc400 in that link above... Without tinkering so much i.e spark plugs in the muffler or flame thrower kits. Is this possible? I've ordered a glasspack muffler, exhaust is single straight through as well. Also, would putting a...

It turned out to be an LS400 Y-pipe. Someone just cut it after the merge... I think they were interested in the cat. Thanks

Hellos, I'm 98.3% done with my V8 Corolla swap, but right now what's worrying me is how low the oil pan is. It's a front sump 1UZ from an LS400. Question: Is there anything I could do to the oil pan [cut/weld/massage] to raise it farther up away from the ground to gain some clearance? Even...

Also, would it do any harm to move the primary O2 sensors further down from the stock position? I'm asking coz I intend to re-use the stock collector where the o2 bung is. Thanks

Could someone please tell me an acceptable length for secondary pipes in a 4-2-1 system for the 1UZ? I got tired of my stock manifolds and hacked them up to make a home-made header. I just don't know how long I should make the secondary pipes. ... Here is a pic of the hack job. [I know the...

Hahaha... thank you for not disappointing me.... I knew someone would say something silly :)

Hey man, I'm not an expert but I've read lots of posts that say the smaller the pipe the better for low end torque/power. In fact most people swear that the stock 1uz Y-pipe is hard to beat. Ideally, since your engine is stock, you're better off with the stock Y-pipe set-up. Look around for...

So I went over to see it today and discovered it's probably an LS400 or Crown Y-pipe . Too bad half of the Y section had been hacked off and put on another project. Would it be possible to modify/weld the collector part back together and still get good results? :(:( Here are some...

A friend has this Y-pipe in his garage storage and I was thinking of using it for my v8 but none of us know which car it came from. Thanks

I know it's silly to resurrect this after 11years, but was it sorted? Wat diff ratio was finally decided upon? Reason I ask is that I'm in kinda the same boat. 1uz in ae70. W57, 195/50-15 ... I want it to be really quick but still drivable on the highway. ...
