Yes, plenty of room up front between the engine and the radiator. Instead of using the clutch fan or hydraulic fan, I ended up swapping out the hydraulic pump for the LS fan pulley assembly and just went with an efan instead. Recently I decided to yank the stock 2-row radiator and swap in a...

So most likely he does have the 4.10. Switching down to the 3.73 or 3.9 will help. I dunno though, 126mi on half a tank (254 on full) isn't that bad but he could definitely get a bit better with switching the rear and tuning.

Don't have a wideband for it yet. Hopefully after I get the maft pro, I'll get one since it can use it to keep the A/F adjusted. As for your gearing problem. If I recall, the na rear was a 4.10 rear-end without LSD unless you had the sport rear, then it was 4.10 with LSD. The turbo...

Sounds similar to my mileage. Stock ecu and injectors, walbro 255l pump and I'm netting between 20-23mpg on 1-3hr trips. Around town is, of course, much less :D This engine is also running extremely rich at around 10.5 WOT and really only drops back to 13-14 during idle. Probably getting a...

Wow, that is one hacked up Series 5 FC. Any idea on final weight and what it will actually look like once it is all back together?

Not sure about the RPM issue. Could several different issues that causes it. 1. It's a calibration issue is you are using the original tachometer to read the signal. 2. Fuel/Oxygen issue? Not sure if the ECU has protection if it reads too lean. Codes 13 - Could be one of the cam...

Speedo is mechanically driven by the cable from the transmission. There are two parts. Make sure they're all screwed together. If they are, then one of them may have snapped. Did you replace the oil pressure sensor on the 1UZ with the one from the 7M? The tach is expecting a three...

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you didn't overheat the engine. Since it is such a pain in the butt to get to, when I did my swap I 'rebuilt' the whole front end by putting in new timing belt, pulleys, and water pump. The only items I didn't replace where the cam and crank seals. Between...

After two years, my tach is still wrong. It is easy enough to fix, it is just low on the priority list since it doesn't affect the performance of the car, lol. :D

Mike from 1uzsupra - I have my green wire grounded and fused. There is a good case for fusing certain types of grounds, I just forget it at the moment. I've dealt with it when doing radio transceiver installations as well. One of these days we'll get our wiring instructions all organized...

No idea. If you have time, it shouldn't be too hard to fab one up.

I know the early model 1UZ is the same. Not sure about the later one.

Yes, the stock temp gauge is a three wire gauge. Again, grounding issue. You'll have to refer to the MkIII TEWD for the colors and locations of the three wires or someone here can answer right away. I thought the same as well and was freaking out the first couple of times. I figured since the...

I don't recall if it is affected or not. For me, it ended up being grounding issues at the igniters and the ground to the intake manifold.

Hopefully someone answered this for you already but if not, the next easiest thing to do, which I had to do, is to run a string (or small diameter vacuum hose) around the pulleys the way you would the belt, then take that into your closest parts store and they can cross reference to find the...

1. Alternator wiring is as simple as it looks. Even the color of the wires ended up being the same on my 1UZ harness and my 7M harness. Just had to extend the wires from the 1UZ alt to the battery side. I did this by just using some additional wiring loom and running the wires through the...

Yeah, our wiring write-ups need to be merged and cleaned up with pin numbers and actual connector designations. Been on our todo list for almost two years now ;) I actually started off by using Jake's information first but there are some differences due to the different years (Jake's is '89+...

Looks good! Is it possible to get some 90 degree connectors for those oil lines? If you have it put back together before August 28th, you should come show it with the rest of us Supra owners at the Toyota lot in Grand Rapids, MI for the 2010 Metro Cruise.

I've seen mine drop down as low as 20psi at hot idle, maybe a bit lower but this is on the MkIII Supra gauge which is notorious for not being very accurate.

So my first statement is probably accurate then, Paypal changed something in the code that my plugin didn't like at the time.
