Dante: Thank you very much for the info. I seems the m90 may be my choice of blower as well. I am looking for an efficient setup, but also a little fun as well. I'll likely stick with the NA setup for a bit while I work out all the kinks and figure out my final gearing setup as well. Then after...

Dante, thank you very much for the into. I know I will have to adjust some things on the rig after getting it up and running, but that is ok. I will work it out as I go along. I just started in to the wiring yesterday. I'll be able to really dig in to it this week. I understand on the bullet...

Thanks to the both of you!! I was unable to find the video until blackuzz31 posted the link. Dante, this has been a huge help. Do you have any advice/input on the supercharger setup? I'm also curious how your exhaust is setup. Size? Are you running any cats? What headers?

Thanks for the info. It equates to about 16.5 miles per gallon in the US. Is most of the highway, city, or 50/50 mix? I've currently got 37's on the truck, 1st gen 4runner (84). It likely weighs about 2tons as well. I have a set of 4.10's in an axle that I can put in. It will have the R150 with...

Thanks for the info, that is very helpful. Are you running the LS 1UZ or the SC version? I know the injectors are different and possibly a couple other small things, but I would be curious. Do you have any idea how much power you are putting down. It is really just to get an idea. I would...

I figured out what it's purpose is after putting the fan bracket back on. I am going to have to source one as there is a fairly large opening directly to the timing belt without it. Damn people that worked on it previously. I think I can put on everything else besides the items that overlay the...

I am assembling my 1UZ and I always look in the FSM for assembly, however they are mentioning a timing gear cover spacer and I did not have such a part when I disassembled mine. I always line out the parts when I remove them from the project I'm working on and I definitely did not have one. Was...

I've been reading around quite a bit on different supercharger setups out there for the early 1UZ engines, which is what I've got. I have one from a 91 LS400. Everything is stock and it is going in my 4runner. I am more curious than anything at this point, but what can I expect out of a...

Recommendation?

Thanks. I was going to try some gasket remover on the staining, but have decided against it. I'll keep at with the razor blade and try a brass brush vs a steel one. I know the brass will scratch the surface though. I torque everything to spec in the FSM. No sealant in this application since the...

Thanks for the input. I know it is hard to tell from the photo, but does my mating surface need more cleaning for this style gasket? It is smooth to the touch and a razor can not get anything else off. I would have to get a dremel/die grinder with a scothbright style pad on it in order to get it...

Need some opinions here. I am doing the water pump today and I was always under the impression that from the factory they used FIPG on the WP. There was a gasket when I pulled it off. I'm pretty sure it had been leaking because there was always a pool of coolant right below the crank since i...

You are just everywhere!!! haha. Maybe you have a fuel leak (kind of a joke).

Are the LS400 and SC400 cluster interchangeable? It appears the SC400 cluster may be a little smaller than the LS400 one that I have (out of a 91) and would fit better in my 4runner dash. Any insight would be of great help. Thanks.

I am using the 1UZ in my 4runner and am adapting an R150F with a Dual RF1A Gear Drive transfer case that has a mechanical speedo. My question is, will the following work with the cluster from an LS400. I am using the LS400 Cluster in my 4runner. Vehicle Speed Sensor, MCI | Marlin Crawler...

I would be curious to know your fuel pump setup. Thanks.

Thanks for the confidence. I can't wait. I've got all the parts now and should hopefully be getting to the much more interesting part of the swap (the work) soon. What did you end up doing for the speedometer? I'm using the lexus cluster. Also, what did you do for a fuel pump?

I believe it should be achievable from what I've seen. I'm quite a good driver (efficient) when I want to be. I should hopefully have the motor transplanted within a couple months. I've gotten most of the parts now. I will be able to tell soon (assuming everything is running in top notch).

This is what I'm going to run. There's a guy over at pirate that is running this with his 1UZ mated to an R150F. You might want to step up to the next stage of that clutch, but he says he loves it. Said it's nice and smooth and hasn't had any issues with it slipping at all. Clutch/PP: SBC Part...
