    1UZFE into V6 4Runner with Wolf 3D

    Thats what I thought Guts, but I have done all the full lock to full lock stuff, and it still hasn't got any better. The lines a pretty direct so I wouldn't think there would be much chance of air lines being the problem. Is there any tricks to getting air out of the lines if this is the case?

    1UZFE into V6 4Runner with Wolf 3D

    Deankdx - The engine mounts used in my conversion are std. V6 4Runner Mounts. As for progress on mine I finished it at 6am the day before xmas eve (thursday) and it went in to get approved at 8:30 that day. The enginner was really impressed with the conversion, but failed me due to the...

    Widowmaker just rang and told my the final price for fitting the V8. $2225....a little more than the budgeted $1000, yet I did allow $1500. That was to make custom mounts off the 1UZ Block, two engine mounts, flywheel bolts, bolts to attach the gearbox to the 1UZ, modify the gearbox cross...

    deankdx, there is rubber in the mount, but they are an unusal mount. Heres a shot of the passenger side mount, from the above/front. The bit you thought was a spring is I guess something to prevent the motor falling right out if the rubber ever snapps. On mine the V6 engine mount...

    The clearance from the IFS and diff to the sump. (Front mount sump) The bodylift (2") allowed the motor to be mounted high enough to clear everything with no mods. Fianlly not much room for the thermo fan (crappy photo too). I will remove the aircon condensor and heopfully be able to mount...

    I'm working on it Logan, she's not to keen on the idea yet!! Anyway some good news!! Widowmaker have mounted the motor and gearbox. No sump modifications were needed to clear the front diff (front sump, IFS) and a small oil filter should fit on with no problems. The gearbox did move back...

    lmoa, sounds good Rod. The time it takes to do the conversions sounds really good in theory, if only it went that smoothly.

    Thanks for the comments Sterling, my girlfriends ute has only just begun, got some plans for it next year, which unfortunetly don't include a 1UZ for it, but I am working on it!! If Venom was closer I would have got him to do most of it for me, but it was a long way to tow my truck down, and...

    1UZFE into V6 4Runner with Wolf 3D

    Bit of an update on my progress. After waiting 3 weeks for Direct Clutches to do my clutch I finally got it back and rang Widowmaker, who are fitting the engine for me, and as it has been for this whole project I had to wait yet another 3 weeks for them to get back from holidays. But they...

    What airbox for Hilux/4Runner??

    I sent an email to the Austlian Rep for the BMC Carbon Dynamics Airbox, just to see what model they would recomend and how much. I'll have to give them an A++ for customer service, first thing this morning I got a phone call from them. He was a top guy, went thought everything with me and...

    What airbox for Hilux/4Runner??

    Actually that is what Scott told me, I wonder how far the pod filter will have to be away before it wont have an effect on the AFM?? And which pod filter would be a better type to run, less turbelance wise? a foam type, or a K&N style?

    What airbox for Hilux/4Runner??

    Scott at venom told me to steer away from pod filters on these when running the std. ecu. He said the AFM doesn't like them??? One thought I had was to get a foam pod filter and then enclose it in a sealed box which is then attached to the snorkels?? But if the std. ecu doesn't like pod...

    What airbox for Hilux/4Runner??

    That'll be the last resort, it just adds to the list of another thing that will have to be fabricted before I'm up and running. I'd prefer to get a box that I can just buy and bolt in, if possible.

    What airbox for Hilux/4Runner??

    Just wondering what airbox's people have used for converisons in a Hilux or 4Runner when using the standard AFM. I bought a VL Commodore Airbox ($15) after seeing one in Scott's (venom) courier, since the AFM pretty much bolts up and it looked like it would fit in my 4runner. But I can't get...
