The long dowl thingee is your cam belt tensioner, when you replace the cam belt you will see how this works. The belt driven pump thingee is a hydraulic fan pump which is used as opposed to electric thermo fans, you can remove this totally and run a shorter belt or rip the guts out of the pump...

ah yeah???...the steering box is in the position where the alternator origionally sat, so i mounted it where the air con. compressor sat. I still have a complete air con. unit i could set up but i want to get the ute going before looking into that. Yeah simple sollution is to wind down the...

FWIW, here are the pics of the front and rear sumps together, note that they over lap. So if you shove the rear sump motor hard up against the fire wall it still hits the steering by about 15mm. In order for it to fit right you would have to cut the tin as well as the alloy skirt.....which i...

1UZ into a 89-97' diesle 2WD Hilux Ok here are some pics showing the 1UZ in my hilux. Its a Front sump motor now but was origionally a rear sump(i have pictures of all the front and rear sumps side by side). I could of used the rear sump but would have had to do a lot more cutting and...

Im in the middle of putting a Soarer 1UZ in my 94' SR5 Hilux 2WD. I had a rear sump but it fouled on the cross member between the torsion bars, so i swapped for a front sump. The front sump bowl hits the steering arm but its is relativly easy to get the tin re-shaped and mig welded, or if your...

Yes i agree, the soarers are a nice car...even though i am only using a soarer motor in my hilux...They are far better than all the EVO's and GSR's around. I cant believe how many are up on www.trademe.co.nz for under NZ $5000 although they are the 1UZ-fe model...

hey timmo, Another Whakatane guy huh?? Both myself and Muzza_nz are from there....

hey ripper doc, This is my W5* on the back of a 1UZ that came out of a soarer(i have changed the sump from a rear to a front).

Yeah you can get the R series and W series gearbox adaptors in new zealand, but you can also get a full bellhousing for a 1UZ to W series. There is a post on here from the guy with the bell housings and they cost $690.00(NZD).

Talk to gloverman on this forum, he is also doing the same conversion as you, and he has done plenty of research. Your best looking for a rear sump motor though as i swapped my rear sump with gloverman and it seem to be perfect for his application. In my experience the SC400/Soarer 1Uz's have...

Motor Preparations Limited in Otorohonga built the motor for Ian Booths Altezza, it has 500+hp @ 8500 rpm and is a sweet car. I hope to make one my next project

Hey Kelvin, My W5* gearbox is now adapted to my 1u Belhousing after a wee bit of grinding at the bellhousing with the dermal(cheers MUZZA). Geoff's adapters are really tight on the dowells and spigot so id say there is little no chance it will stuff the input bearing. So if this is the case...

What sort of truck are you using as your base?? If your using a Tacoma(Hilux) there are a few threads on these with the standard 1UZ conversion.

ok, i will ask around see what i can find for ya.

i think CRS sumps are about $600au plus the frieght costs. Your better off seeing if you can swap with some one. Where in new zealand are you?

Nate, I had a rear sump and have swaped for a front sump for my 94' hilux. You will either have to search for a front sump or get a custom rear sump from Castlemain Rod shop...That is unless you want to get creative and design your own sump?? Your best bet is to find some speedway or jet boat...

I went and checked out vvega's MR2 last nite...This is going to be one insane car!!!

what sort of price would i be looking at for a bellhousing set up with a hilux slave cylinder and clutch fork to suit. I'll be using the 3sg-te flywheel and heavy duty clutch??
