My 80mm exhaust produces about 105 dB @ 4000 RPM, so just headers should be above 110 dB, I think

right, it's electronically controlled. probably GS may improve it, but I doubt. another option is to use aftermarket ECT computer.

what do you mean? Stock exh, straight pipe, no mufflers, no headers? What dB do you wanna know?

To those who will be considering A650 + early A340 TC and overdrive gear with shaft, my answer is - yes it is possible. You can throw overdrive gear and shaft from early 1UZ A340 into newer A650 off crown JZS17x 2jzfse. However - this does not vork the other way, the A650 overdrive is way too...

There is no problem swapping A340/A3401 - the torque conevrter may sit ok, but it is better to drop input shaft from UZ tranny into yours. But when we talk about newer A650 - it all seems to be different.

Lex. appreciate your reply. I was thinking if it is possible to throw early A340 input shaft w/overdrive into A650 - in that case early A340 torque converter could bolt up.

sorry to bump the old thread, but I am currently considering transmission for my daily driver. The easiest way is to keep A341 (with electronic kick-down) - I have all the parts required to do the swap (torque converter, input shaft, stand-alone TCU), just need to buy transmission itself. The...

Engine quick details: - 1995 T.-Crown Majesta 1UZ (thin conrods) - ACL Race bearings - OBX ITB - Custom ISC - Custom Intake plenum - Ported heads - 1UZFE VVTi head gaskets - 2JZGTE valve springs - Waste spark ignition - MAP sensor - 1G-GTE 315cc injectors - 1JZGTE TPS - Stand-alone ECU...

Stripping the intake plenum to get access to throttle ring: Ok, got access: and... after a while, the it's in!

here is an update: finally got my hand on engine swap (damn, that was blooody cold!!!!). Anyway, engine is in, running smoothly. Now is time to clean wiring stuff, and make it look good. http://youtu.be/CQKYtAjuklg http://youtu.be/jbySRCEyOj0

Guess what was my NY present? ;) Here it is, arrived a week before NY, sitting in a delivery box... Same time Sakhalin got covered with snow... damn, yet it is cold!

Sorry for that crap in the garage - single man runs several pojects at a time (1uz ITB, Turbo-Vitz). The enine will be used mostly as a daily driver, thus Rev limiter is set to 7500rpm.

Ok, there you go with the update, engine is running on the floor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6lLFPpYNsQ Now it's getting packed and prepared for shipping to my city (1000K by sea). After I get it, I'll replace my current bloody stock 1UZFE off soarer UZZ30 with that one. And will proceed...

Thinking about unplugging injectors is also a good idea, otherwise you'll get gasoline instead of oil :D in oil sump. You should try how it works - I had faulty ignition wires on couple of cylinders when I replaced engine. it is somewhat drivable, but I prefer to have engine running smoothly.

taking off even one cylinder spark plug brings up poor engine revving at low rpm. so, you're gonna kill your major powerband. one of the solutions would be 6-speed man V160 from Toyota Supra JZA80
