you still have to use the shifter for P N R and D. Once in D the switches then select the gear. One thing to remember is you won't get engine braking when in D. For example if you want engine braking when down shifting to 2nd you will have to move the shifter to 2 as well. This is the advantage...

If you want to run no factory ecu for trans control then these are the options I have found. The easiest option is to just remove the computer and use the shifter to change gears but you will only get 1st, 3rd and 4th. This is the failsafe mode of the gearbox. The second option is just...

I'm setting up a megasquirt on my 1UZFE which is going into a Hot Rod. I'm also designing an ad on board based on a MS2 daughter board that will control the toyota auto gearbox and add some required circuits for the standard ignition. The gearbox controller will be adjustable through Megatune.

Can anyone tell me which wire is which on the 2 three wire speed sensors on a crown auto gear box. I Know they are hall sensors and that they require Ground, Signal and 12V? or 5V? but don't know which wire is which. Cheers Daniel.

Here is a picture of my hot rod chassis with the 1uzfe mounted. I have a few mods in mind, mainly visual. I plan on running it with a megasquirt.

I can confirm that the above part number for a Hardy- Spicer yoke is correct. The one I orded arrived and is a perfect fit for my crown gearbox. Regards Daniel.

You can get a brand new one from Hardy - Spicer. I am about to order one for my crown gearbox this week. $155 was what I was quoted. Part No. 21R-3-3558. I have not used one yet but going buy the measurements I took this is the correct one. I should know buy the end of the week if it is...

The megasquirt can drive coils directly using the vb921 coil driver IC that is fitted to the ver3 PCB. or if you need more than one you could switch to msextra. so you don't need the standard igniters. they have released ms2extra now. I plan to run my 1uzfe off MS2extra using two internal coil...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a crown instrument panel. I have pulled it from a Crown front cut and want to try and use it in my hot rod. I have worked out some of the wires but I can't get it to power up on the bench. so I'm mainly interested in which wires I need to apply power and...

Can anyone tell me where I can get a yoke to go into the back of my crown auto box. or does anyone have one they would like to sell. Thanks Daniel. PS I'm located on the Gold Coast.

I have been looking at the controlling of the box and have come up with a basic circuit which uses the selector switch to drive the solinoids. you only require a couple of diodes and a switch for overdrive and a switch for TC lockup. Then you just use the shifter to change gears. I have not...

Thanks for that. It does look like I have covered just about everything that needs to be conected. I will just have to wait until we build the t bucket to see if it works.

yeah it's those 10 or so wires I need to figure out. so far I know what signals to send 4 of them and have a good idea of another two of them I just need to work out the rest. I do plan to just try it as I can always just wire it as a manual if I fail which I would be happy with. I'm pretty...

I have a Tech edge 2A1 diy. I haven't done much tuning with it yet but I'm very happy with it. I believe it is the best value for money WBO2, particully the diy version. you can also buy it directly from the tech edge web site and they arrive next day with in Australia. Peter is always willing...

There is at least one person on the MSnSextra forum that has a 1uzfe running on a megasquirt. http://www.msextra.com/viewtopic.php?t=21455 I am also planing on running one on a megasquirt and using the factory Crown transmission computer to control the auto. My brother has had the engine...

I can't remember what model it was as my brother striped it out over 2 years ago and it has sat around since. It has the two ECU's and the wiring matches Kdogs diagrams. I would be happy with info on any model some one has done this with.

I have a 1uzfe that I pulled out of a Crown front cut. I am planing on running the engine off an aftermarket computer and the gear box off the standard Crown transmission computer (ECT). Has anyone else tried this? I know the external conections thanks to Kdogs wiring diagrams but I'm not...

It is pretty much going to be a rat rod as it will be made up of parts we have laying around, but that is a good point about the tyres. Does anyone know what size tyres the crown has as sandard? This will help me correct the speedo if I end up using the crown instruments.

Let us know how you go. I was considering a colum shift for the T bucket I'm about to build.

Thanks for that. We currently have a ford 3.08 diff but were thinking of changing it anyway. I might look for something in the 4's as we don't need a high top speed just good acceleration.
