Why not buy a Tundra engine and ECU. Then you know it all works and will drive like a factory engine.

From your description of the 3UZ as a" lump" I'm guessing you come from the UK. There are plenty of people who can make a flywheel specifically for your application. I have a Nissan Patrol (4.2 Diesel) transmission behind my 1UZ and the flywheel is a work of art and cost around $600.00 Aussie...

If it's overheating after a few K's I'd look at the thermostat. If it failed shut it will overheat fairly quickly. If there's a leaking welsh plug fix it as it will only get worse and fail when you're away from your tools. A stich in time and all that. Stop leak won't help cooling either...

Depends how much boost you're talking. Very low boost the ECU SHOULD be able to handle and the Injectors MAY be able to keep up. If they can't keep up it will get messy and expensive very quickly.

For the cost of a set of pistons you would spend a lot more if an existing one failed. yes they aren't cheap but add u the cost of parts for a rebuild (assuming the block and crank survive) and you may find the cost is worthwhile. When I built my Supercharged engine I kept the crank, block and...

Of course you would also be aware the vehicle is un-roadworthy with those wheels as it's over track now. I know there are multitudes of vehicles out there that are over track but something to bear in mind if it causes and accident.

I'll make a correction to my Post. The scrub radius is now out by 40mm due to the additional 2"of rim width I hadn't factored into my comment. I'll be surprised if you can dial out any more then 10mm or so.

Good write up. I did a similar thing with my lower oil pan on a Crown engine. Easy way to move the sump without building a new one. Are you concerned about changing the scrub radius with he new wheels, which look good. 27mm is a fair amount and the car will lose some stability in adverse...

Have you sought advice from Spitronics?

I think I'd be having it trucked to a Toyota Dealer and let them fix it. Won't be cheap but better than it sitting on the driveway as an ornament.

Tinashedzviriri, Very hard question to answer. Depends where you live and what the parts would cost in your country. Do you have the parts and just want someone to assemble the gear? Gloverman may be able to suggest a time estimate to do the install but every one is different with different...

I've gotten the hang of cup holders. I find my beer spills on corners!

Well done. Looks very neat.

I'm going through the same deal with swapping a Nissan Pulsar brake system into a Suzuki MightyBoy. The ABS ECU has a diagnostic LED and I would have thought the Toytoa system would have one as well. Could be worth some looking and Googling.

An LSD will load the centre up even more. If the car spins a wheel/tyre it's unloading the diff. If both tyres hod on because of the LSD the load on the diff increases as the effective fuse of loss of traction is gone so the next weakest link will fail and that will be the diff. The real...

As for valve springs Kelford's are best to advise you that. I used their cams on my supercharged engine and was very happy with them.

If you post up where you live it will help when giving advice or just being annoying.

Well done. A great feeling when it can actually move under its own power.

I think it was around $1250.00 Aussie. It was over 10 years ago. They are currently just under $2,000.00 a set. https://argorace.com.au/conrods/conrods-products-online-order/

I purchased the seals from my local Toyota Dealer. They were silly cheap so i bought all 8 top and bottom.
