Hey Mike! Tried emailing again think something may be up with my email or something. I got another engine so am just prepping it at the moment and, if all goes well may mount it this week end . If your free an evening this week sometime you can pop round and see my vans setup? Engine sits abit...

Very nice!!! Hey whats the color name of the paint used on your doors?? That shade of grey looks amazing.

Ok so here is where I'm at with the 1uz Hiace van..... Original plan was to drop the engine in , get it running and that was that. Well as projects go that has changed... manual conversion, tick. panel and paint in HOK Galaxy Grey (getting done at the moment) full marine carpet interior KW...

Wow its been awhile..... just noticed a heap of pics I posted originally are no longer here so up they go again.....

Yeah for sure , after about 10 month of on and off working on it (not to mention all the issues Ive run into) Ive finally completed mine (I say this in a general term, still afew bits to be tidied up) , Still havent got certification and its fouling up plugs like you wouldnt believe but its...

I say go for it, its a big job but defiantly a worthy transplant in the end... There's abit of literature on these forums which will start you off in the right direction..

Finally got it going this evening!! Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone, much appreciated. I went out and got some basic NGK V-power plugs just to test out and it fired up straight away. Im pretty surprised as it blazed through a set of NGK double platinum's in no time at all...

Ok Ill give some new plugs a go, the timing belt ,waterpamp, rotors , dizzy caps ,etc were changed long before the first start up. I'm pretty much willing to try anything now I really want to drive it lol!

Hey Kelvin, I sent the loom to Motorsport auto electric up in Welly, Yeah it has started up a number of times before this happened, when we first got it going it had a similar issue ,changed the plugs and it went. I cant imagine it would have gone through those plugs already as the van hasnt...

There is 12v @ the IGN with key on and nothing at B terminal..

Sorry about the late reply here, been away for work... The engine is from a 1990 Celcior, Ive got full sparks on both banks and the plugs in it are brand new as I did everything like cam belt, plugs , waterpump, etc. before starting the conversion. The battery has had alot off full charges and...

Ive checked the fuel in a number of places now, the pump works great, at the inlet to the engine flow is good and at the return fuel flow is good and on inspection the plugs are wet too. With the AFM even if there is something wrong there it should still run rough shouldnt it? Im really stummped...

Just as the title says, I had it running the day before yesterday perfect, now went to start it up yesterday and it continuously cranks without firing. If anything it puts away occasionally and sounds like it wants to fire but it doesnt.... Any ideas guys? Ive checked everything and cant find...

Ive been really bad with updating this, the project is moving ahead slowly but it is moving on which is the main thing! :biggthumpup: So here is where I'm at with the van..... Since I've started the engine up now I know I'm on the right track which is a plus. Next step is new power steer lines...

Awesome, the Merc is now getting balls... I cant wait to see how this turns out good luck mate!

Hey Sideshow, when I first started this project I thought I may run into those same issues so far what Ive done is modify the intake manifold by cutting off the throttle body mount , angling it down around 5 degrees or so (i'll post some pics in the next few days) and welding it up again. This...

Ive been shocking over the last few months with the swap, cash flow issues, moving units and it gooooeeessss on haha. Last week myself and a mate spent went hard out sorting out the wiring, fuel pump , borrowed some headers and other bits off another 1uz he had lying around and hoped to get the...

I've got a pair of Celcior exhaust headers and am wanting to trade for a pair of log style headers if anyone is keen? (In New Zealand)

Thanks for the info Kelvin, I'll defiantly keep the EFI tank idea in mind. I got round to removing the fan pump assembly, all good, then test fitted the new belt and notice that it makes contact with the face of where the fan assembly was removed?. I should mention the fan pump from my engine is...
