Gloverman, I have a 98 GS400 1uz vvti motor/ ECU and I have a 98 LS400 harness that I plan to use in my swap because it will located the ecu behind my glovebox. The GS harness locares the ecu in the engine compartment. Do you know if the 1998 GS400 ecu will work with the 1998 LS400 harness...

OK. A friend of mine is in the middle of a 1uz swap into his 80 pickup. The oem sc400 manifolds fit perfectly in his swap too.

What year is your truck. I'm running sc400 exhaust manifolds. They just clear the upper control arms and steering shaft.

My experience, I have installed the ToyotaV8 kits in a friend's mk3 supra with the oem master cylinder and my 87 toy truck with the oem master cylinder. Both builds were going on at the same time and when the kit was installed in both cars and bled, we were concerned about the soft pedal and...

Finished the truck a month ago. Very fun. Spins tires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd at 50mph. Need to trash the open rear and swap in a ford 8.8 with LSD soon.

Make sure your ignitor/bracket is securely grounded. will not run if this is not grounded to the chassis or engine. Also check your crank position sensor (behind the crank pulley)on the driverside. Grab one from your local junkyard and test it out. Also check the wires as they go into the...

It ran ok but it was a frankenteined haggard mess electronicly. I planned to remove the entire harness and refurb it but decide a 1uz would be better. 75% more power, 100% better gas milage and 10000% more reliable. Just received my mandrel bends to fab up the exhaust. I'm...

The cressida project is on hold until I finish my truck. Bought it 2 years before I got the cressida. Bought it from a kid who planned to drift it but lost interest after not figuring how to get it to run. It had a factory 22rte swap that was torn apart. The body was decent and the frame was...

Thanks. I'm using the 4.30 ratio and love it also. I just bought a second 5speed conversion kit from you this past saturday. Gonna help a friend do a 1uz/5speed conversion into a MA70. I'm anxious to complete the swap. VVTI plus 5 speed auto and 4.30 gear should move nice

Installed a MA70 supra diff after fabbing the fron mounts on the subframe. Get a JDM front bumper. Current look. Was planning to paint the bumper and call her finished until I found this. 1998 Gs400 1uz vvti Spent some time cleaning it up. The cressida...

Installed a LS400 sterring rack to help clear the driverside exhaust manifold. Dropped the 1uz in. Fabbed exhaust with 2.5" pipe Got her running great. Looking good.

Ofcourse, the headgasket failed again 9 months later. I said screw it, and bought a 1uz from a 1994 sc400 for $300. Swapped in the LS400 oilpan and pickup. Made a cressida/ ls400 hybrid transmission.

Hey guys. Been a member for a while and posted an intro threads years ago. I bought my 1990 Mx83 with a blon headgasket for $500. I intended to just keep it as a daily (to keep the miles off my low mileage 1993 LS400 i bought earlier). I paid a shop $1000 to "fix" the hg. Enjoyed the car...

good shit!

Brawls43, Small world. I just noticed your username and realized you are the one that bought the sc300 5speed pedal set from me on ebay. I was gonna use it on my 90 cressida but I'm going in a different direction now.

^ LOL! Sorry. Non VVTi 1uz's are a plentiful and very cheap here. The VVTi version is another story. Finding a VVTi 1uz in a self service junkyard is VERY RARE. Getting one for under $200 is unheard of right now. Give it some time though. First gen 1uz's were rarely found in junkyards 10...

If you are located near Richmond Va, Chesterfield Auto Parts has just cut the prices on their engines. All engines are $175 plus $25 core charge. Last sunday I pulled this 1999 1UZ VVTi with harness for $220. Got the key, lock cylinder and key reader too. They have 3 locations in central va.

How much to ship to VA. Do you have paypal?

I had the same problem. Turned out to be one of the primary o2 sensors. Engine ran fine in the enriched warm up mode (bypasses signals from o2) but stumled and missed bad immediatley after.

Shucks, I wish I had known it was impossible before I removed and installed many w series while laying on my back under a car on jack stands. I laid the tranny on my chest and shimmied under the car. Then bench pressed the tranny into place. I even installed a heavy supra auto with a modified...
