I decided to use the factory bellhousing and purchase an adaptor plate & flywheel from Johno at Performance Metalworks because I already had the bellhousing. It came with the engine when I bought it. The only problem with the adaptor plate was that it didn't have a pedestool for the clutch fork...

Thanks Peewee! Thats a really good wiring diagram and pretty much matches my loom perfectly apart from some of the colours on the pin-out diagram being different. I've decided not to change the loom, but Im still thinking of attempting to match the relevant wires to the earlier crown ECU. I...

Empty engine bay. Ready to begin engine transplant. Now this is what I'm talking about!!! They should have used these in the beginning! Doesn't it look beautiful. Its a 1991 1UZ-FE from a Toyota Crown Majesta (front sump) The front sump version of these engines are the easiest to use for a...

Here's the new surf all ready to begin the 1UZ transplant. The original 2L-T with the head off & the cylinders full of water. It was like this when I bought it. Original dead engine removed. I wasn't sure if I should trust that ratchet lifting thing but it held together - just.

After exploring some of the old gold mining areas & 4WD tracks of the lower part of the south island of New Zealand in my 1988 Hilux Surf 2.4 diesel turbo, I decided it was time to get rid of the old ride and try something a bit different. But what else can you get thats any better for taking...

A few more questions for you guys, 1) the crown ECU wiring diagrams don't show a starter input to the ECU, I guess the starter signal (50) should be connected to STA (pin 11 in the 22 pin ECU connector)? 2) The crown ECU is looking for a IGF (ignition confirmation) signal from the ignitors...

Thanks for the reassurance!!! I'll have a crack at firing up the beast in a couple of weeks. Its been 11 months since I started this conversion. I thought it would only take about 6 months but I guess its the same old thing... These projects always take longer than you think.

hi-lex, Thanks for the link!!! I checked it against the plugs on my wiring loom and some of the colours match but most are different. However, I traced a couple of the wires and they seemed to match what the diagram said. Also, where wires are missing on the diagram, they are missing on my...

If you're right, that would be great. The only problem is finding space to put the 3/40 pin plug ECU because it's quite a bit larger than the earlier crown one. Besides, the earlier crown ECU looks almost identical to the original Hilux ECU for the 2LT diesel engine and it also fits in the same...

Once I had my engine (1UZ from a 1991 LS 400) mounted in it's final position, I tried to fit the factory headers and found that the steering rod was in the way. This left me with 2 options... Either modify the factory headers as a temporary measure to get the Hilux on the road sooner and then...

Thanks for the suggestion but I've already tried to find an earlier Crown wiring loom and unless I bought a complete engine, they are next to impossible to get. However I will keep trying to find one because like you said, it would be the easiest way. I already have the earlier Crown ECU and...

I'v just been to North Shore Toyota (Auckland, New Zealand) to try to buy some wiring diagrams but they couldn't source any. However, they did tell me that according to the numbers on my ECU, it was used in a 1991 - 1992 Toyota Crown Majesta. Also, another reason I'm using the earlier crown...

I have almost finished my 1uz into my hilux transplant and made a start on the wiring. I bought the engine with an uncut wiring loom and I think it may be out of a 1991 LS400. It has a front sump, hydraulic fan, and 1991 written on the HT leads. The ECU for this engine has three 40 pin plugs...
