Welcome aboard. We see some crazy Four Wheel Drive stuff coming out of the gulf. mostly GU Nissans. An engine refresh and new rods and pistons plus better rod bolts, head studs etc will serve you well. Keep us posted on your preogress.

Got you. I would say a junk yard would be your best bet. Alternatively if you can fin the part number of the pulley there is most likely another Toyota engine that uses it. Let us know how you go.

I sourced one from the States about 5 years ago. Plenty of them available from the major parts stores. Pick one any one! Lexus 1UZ fan bracket - Google Search

A lot depends on type of supercharger, boost pressure, weight of vehicle and how you drive. My supercharged engine was returning 45litres per 100kilometres. I was running 21.5psi, and drove it like I stole it!

Could you lay out the loom like it would be on an engine and post photos. The left hand photo suggests the plug is clipped onto a tag on the engine. The starter only has the solenoid wire plugged onto it so it isn't that. Under the manifold you have the knock sensors, and cold start injector...

Valve clearances would be the first thing I would check What else has lash that could click?

Could be it needs a valve adjustment?

If I remember correctly Mazda RX7 440 injectors are a straight plug in on the 1UZ. I agree 50mm is way too big but the stock heads flow so poorly you will see very little benefit for all the work, money and never ending induction noise.

You need to break out the tape measure and a striaght edge and ascertain if there is any potential to move the engine back via the shorter bellhousing. I'd be surprised if Toyota used a longer bellhousing than needed as that would push the engine too far forward. You need to measure the back of...

Couldn't find my FSM so looked under my bonnet/hood. The line runs from a 6mm spigot that is located under the ISCV and runs into the front spigot on the T/b. From the rear spigot on the T/b it runs to the rear waterbridge. Mine is removed as I don't live in an environment that calls for it.

Give me 24hours and I'll dig out my FSM and try and scan it.

When you say hosing, do you mean the vacuum lines that run around the intake plenum?

100% legit. We've made SC400 headers in Australia for 15'20 years. These guys have been around a long time. I've used 2 sets of their headers on different engines, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them.

I know it sounds like a lot of work but you could buy the engine loom and ECU from an LS400 (out of the same car) and fit them to your engine. Personally that would be my course of action. This would only leave the body plug to sort out.

Be VERY careful about cleaning the MAF?AFM as they are easily damaged and they are getting hard to find. Do a LOT of research before you try cleaning it.

One option for a strut brace is to take it back to the firewall. Whilst you will be creating a rectangle with a strut brace it can still push out of square. If you go back to the firewall with a central mount it add heaps of bend resistance. On you dash ends I recently did the same with a...

The Factory ECU only allows the fuel pump to run whilst it has an ignition signal. The code 12 suggests it doesn't have spark, so no fuel. Time to start looking at Igniters plus ensure they are getting power when cranking.

Certainly sounds like a lack of airflow at 30-40. It may be worth making sure all escape routes for air in front of the radiator (hole in the radiator support etc.) are blocked. Some googling on air flow into radiators may surprise you what works to get air that comes through the grille to...

If you can get your hands on a computer to test with it may save some dollars. Do you have the check engine light on before you start the car. Could be a wiring fault.
