MkIII mounts: +89 are at 30deg. and pre-89 are at ~45deg (measured with non-calibrated angle meter, old suspension, and unknown floor slope, came out more like 48deg.). I made my pre-89 mounts for 45deg. mount points and they sat right on the mount points.

Thanks for the info and pointers to vendors Cribb. I would have never guessed someone would do this.

Yes, the factory manifolds will fit in the Supra. If this is going in the MkIII, you'll probably need to remove the heat shields on the driver side and the shield over the steering shaft as well. Yes, you can use the Supra alternator but why? The Lexus alternator provides higher current. If...

I will try and explain this weekend when I have time to review what I did =) Easy enough to walk out to the car and look it over since it is parked for the winter.

Yeah, I can see the confusion. Drop the idea of using #1 in your list above. This is the most unsafe idea that has been listed. Although I have not searched, I have never heard of the flex plate being sandwiched in between the flywheel and crank, this also sounds like a bad idea. Most who...

Feel free to check out our wiring write-ups for the pre-89 MA70s at my project site (see sig below). It isn't as detailed as your diagrams above but should hopefully have some useful information for you.

Just imagine the heat if it were an cast (iron) block instead. I think the 1UZ Al block is bleeding off heat as well. Thanks to the ghoul for the BFH definition, I was offline for most of the week and couldn't reply. Also, thanks Alex for the info on the oil baffle. I wasn't sure if the OEM...

I like how you moved the alternator to the opposite side to free up some room instead of going front and center with it. Are my eyes deceiving me or was there some creative use of a BFH on the frame rails? Will you be using anything in the oil sump to minimize aeration of the oil? --Mike

I see you answered yourself concerning the hydraulic setup. As for the flywheel, I think you are missing something. There is a difference between a redrill and a milled flywheel. The W58 would be a complete redrill as in the existing holes would be plugged and then a new pattern drilled. The...

What type of connection are you using to the turbine? v-band?

Not sure how close the MkII wiring is to the 87 MkIII wiring (slight wiring changes in '89 as far as body harness stuff goes but if it is close you may want to check out our wiring guides on my site just in case. Wiring it only takes time, otherwise it is pretty simple (now that I have done it...

Also, for wiring, check out Dr. Tweak at Phoenix Tuning. Believe he is a vendor on here.

- Keep the 1UZ starter. Pain to get to if anything goes wrong with it but otherwise seems to be extremely reliable. - Get the 1UZ air meter unless you are going to a MAF, SD, or some other type of setup. - Keep the 1UZ alternator, nice high current although bad placement if you spring a PS...

Yup, checkout ck1uzfeae86 on Youtube. Meant to go visit him this year but the time got away from me and I never made it over to the east side of the state. Now it's time for the cars to be parked since the salt season is almost upon us here in MI.

Looking good Speeedy! Can't wait to see pics of the twins installed on the engine. I've had my 1UZ Supra (MkIII) swap finished for almost two years now and have been considering a setup like this but other projects are currently taking priority. Maybe I will start it next year although I need...

The tops are interchangeable but I would have the Supra lines shortened if you want to use them. I thought about keeping the A/C and following this route after placing the compressor and checking line placement and found the same results as you. It becomes really crowded with those two lines...

Search around on here (when the search function is working). There use to be a write-up on using an early generation Celica tach module that is a direct fit on the back of our tach, just requires pulling the gauge cluster, removing the Supra tach module on the back of the tach and replacing it...

There is a brake booster from the early toyota pickup (80's?) that is reference in other discussions here on the site.

Yup, it is a USDM thing, just like the EGR crap. Maybe it was a sub harness which plugs into the bit of harness that would lead back to the auto transmission. I have that bit still in my harness but folded over and zipped tied at the moment. The wiring diagram on here will get you what wires...

I kept the stock 7M-GTE booster that was in my '87 MkIII. Takes some creative use of a ball peen hammer to reshape the booster where the interference occurs but it will fit. My R154 sits in the stock location and I was able to use the stock drive shaft which was later replaced by a...
