Is there anyone out there that has used a crown front cut and crown ECU and has got the engine check light working. I have had my conversion running for about 8 months using KDogs wiring diagrams, but I can't get a check light to work from the pin 5 position on the 22 pin plug (black/yellow...

Some of you may remember the 1UZ powered 3 series BMW coupe and the promised photos. Just a reminder, the engine is from a 130 series Crown, I am running stock management, K&N pod filter, stainless extractors that I made, engine oil cooler, supra 5 speed and an open centre 3.15 diff soon to...

I understand there is two different cc ratings for standard injectors on 1UZ's. I think I have the lower cc ones on my 1UZ as it is an 1989 Crown. Will my engine take 8 psi with the stock management and increased fuel pressure? Regards Matt.

On AFM the wires may be for throttle position sensor or traction control butterfly position sensor. regards Matt.

Definately get a Crown half cut with seperate engine and trans computers. The crowns don't seem to have build years on them, I used a 130 series Crown Royal Saloon which I understand is around 1989. We put a battery in it and it came to life showing 120 000km on the odometer. The Japanese tend...

Well done, enjoy and be proud. Regards. Matt.

Thanks Lexurious, I will check them out. What should we pay in Australia for NGK Iridium plugs and are they the way to go?

My 1UZ has done 125 000, has the original platniums and seems to be running fine. When are they due to be changed? Regads Matt.

Cool, hopefully see you at motorplex one day. I am going back soon if the weather gets better one Sunday. Regards Matt.

Yes 340I, I was surprised by the 1300kg mass when I weighed it, as I saw the original mass in the workshop manual that you speak of. But I have added a far bit of extras eg stainless system, bigger diff, two amps, sub + 6 speakers, ac, powersteer, and 16" rims and tyres that unfortunately are...

1UZ into 1977 320 BMW coupe (E21) I used a 130 series crown front cut CRS bellhousing and kit, supra 5 speed W?, Running crown ECU, K&N pod filter, Stainless ceramic coated extractors, full stainless exhaust no cats straight through res and magnaflow muffler, sound is awsome. Running A/C...

I had a similar idle problem with my 1UZ. I fixed it by adjusting the throttle position sensor. Good luck. Regards Matt.

Thanks for that I'll have to check which model mine is. Regards Matt.

I agree with the O-ring replacing. My crown front cut had done 120 000km, I checked the O-rings and they were flat (squared off), I replaced them and the pump doesn't leak a drop. Regards Matt.

Not sure what the final ratio is in the supra 5 speed but I am sure the tacho is reading correctly. I fitted the tacho myself and it shows idle at 700rpm and the rev limiter cuts in at just over 6500 as it should with the crown ECU. Regards Matt.

Hi there, thanks for your interest. Here are the answers: Times: 60' 2.184sec 330' 5.888sec 660' 9.005sec 127.11 kmh 1000' 11.667sec The car weighs 1300kg I am running 225/45 ZR16 tyres, the suspension is standard BMW ie trailling arm independent with coil over...

Not many punters on this forum are going to encourage the V6 option my friend. I can tell you from first hand experience there is nothing like the silky smooth snappy responsiveness of a 1UZ FE. I have one in a 1977 3 series BMW coupe with a supra 5 speed and it is heaven. Good luck and just...

Lextreme, I am organizing shots soon. Thanks for your interest and this awsome site. Slow camry, I haven't got the time sheets with me right now but I will post the 60 ft time etc, Monday night western Australia time. Regards Matt

Just in case anyone is interested, I took my newly finished 1UZ powered 3 series BMW to the drags and ran a 13.9 @ 100 mph. I am quite happy with it, considering it runs stock crown ECU, 3.15 open centre diff, street tyres and supra 5 speed. It really is a handful getting of the line! Regards...
