I worked for a Cowboy outfit here in the UK retro fitting LPG (auto gas) systems. The run of the mill kit was realy bad. I hated hacking up customers cars to fit junk that mostly went wrong and blew inlet manifolds an plenums to bits! The only kit that I worked with that was any good was from...

That looks like good kit Damien, good spec, and I like the option to build it from a kit yourself to save money. I cant spend that much though, Ive got to try to spread the funds carefully as there quite limited. I need something I can quickly read while driving at a glance, Im guessing the...

I tried checking the lambda outputs today on the v6 ST185. I thought it maybe a little lean because I modded the AFM. This is maybe goning to be the recipient vehical for the 1uz but 4 wheel drive is sooooo nice!! It makes me want to buy a supra for the 1uz. Anyway the point is its so difficult...

I would do a compression check. Inspect the oil in the sump, maybe pressure check the cooling system if posible. Why strip it down if its ok? You can check most of the critical stuff hence the above. Water pump, timing belt and idler+tensioner I would change while you have it out. I did head...

I thought it might be Lex

I guess its true that you get what you pay for. Ive had a look at the link, they look realy slick. Do you know who I need to speak to confirm price and shipping?

Can anybody recomend a source for headbolts for the 1UZFE. Toyota/Lexus dealer prices for standard throwaway stretch bolts are silly money! ARP dont list a head bolt or stud and dont seem to be in a rush to reply as to if they will be making any. I was kinda considering Ebay item 4558293370 but...

Heads off, all looks good, gaskets were fine so I maybe could have left them alone. Does anyone know what colour the sealer is that is used from the factory? Im guessing some joker who thinks he can swing a spanner has been in this motor before. The two water transfer pipes ( aluminium cast...

Thanks for the advice guys, the more info I gather the easier this will be. So far I have my 1uzfe, ive part striped it, repaired a damaged sump pan ( removed checked and refitted the oil pickup in case it was damaged). The bottom end looks good but I didn't pull bearings as the oil was...

Monster Turbo When that spools up your going to have a very big grin on your face. Looking very good, what chassis is that 1uz in, I dont recognise it all?

engine management system Hi Hadmatt, Im planning on running the stock ecu untill time and money let me go forced induction. When a pair of ct26's or similar get bolted on to the 1uz ill have to go for an aftermarket management system. I think I know what Ill be using but thats a long way down...

Yes indeed Hi podge, yes Tony is my big bro. He's all 3vzfe'd up at the moment lol. Im sure in the new year he will have something nice finished off as I know he's very busy at the moment. I work full time so my project is going to be slow going but Ive made a start. Ill be getting help from...

Adapter for 1uzfe to R154 Im sure there will be demand for the adapter on its own as this is the hardest part to source or make yourself. Also a complete off the shelf kit for those that can aford it is great to. This will save lots of time, trouble and expense for some builders. Ill be on the...

1UZFE to R154 Transmission Im in the process of doing this my self and after looking about at whats out there its a bit limited and prices are not good here in the uk, add in shipping from Au or Nz or even the Us and its just to expensive. Thor racing's kit seems to be very good but they only...

I will keep you posted I will keep you posted as to my progress and I think R154 gearboxes are common here in the uk. I bought one for £100 to go behind my 1uz. I work full time which doesn't leave much time spare to sort this so maybe in a few months Ill be posting some vids for you guys but...

gearbox Do you know what vehicals toyota fitted these boxes in ? That way I can start trawling the local breakers.

1uz fe all the way I must admit that this conversion was inspired by the St185 with with twin turbos, built by some guy down under. My Bro showed me a video clip of it and it sold the idea to me in an instant. He's been tinkering with the 3vz v6 into MR2's and he transplanted one into his Gt4...

egr Hi Leeky (and Tony) Leeky ive just got hold of a 1Uz fe from an Ls400, its should be going into a Celica st185. Ive Started junking the egr and when I saw this thread I was confused to. My motor is from a 1994/95 car and the egr looks very different to your setup. Have you sorted it? Also...

wiring diagrams Ive got some but not the complete lot, they may help you get started. Pm me your email and Ill send you what I have. They seem to be a bit scarce. Regards Steve

Can anyone point me to a schematic of the Ls400 wiring? I want to do a quick compression check before I mount the motor on an engine stand to work on it. The starter is hiding deep in the V under the plenum and manifold and I dont want to have to strip it all off just to crank the engine over.
