i guess that would make sense as most of the stuff on the net is from overseas. Does the E imply it will have the PWM valve then? its got a kickdown cable going to it? or do they still have kickdown cable on the boxes with the PWM valve? cheers

Hi, i bought an engine and box from a 1993 LS400 for my offroader project, and am considering options for gearbox control. My question is though... i keep seeing that the A340 doesn't have the pwm valve but the a341e's do, however when looking at my box it seems to be an A342LE? i've found...

Hi, i am planning to megasquirt my 1uz but wan't to keep the auto and the stock control ideally, just wondering what inputs the lexus ecu will need to keep shifting gears? i.e can i remove all the injector and ignition wiring from the ecu and leave say the crank and cam inputs, temp inputs and...

Hi, thanks for that! the reason i don't particularly want to control fuel and spark is purely that i don't need to! i don't plan on modifying the engine at all so the easy option to remap would sort of be wasted on me, its going in a lightweight (ish) truck and will be plenty powerful enough...

will the stock ecu be able to share the signals with ms3? so it will keep fuelling and shifting the trans? need to devote some time to having a read on megamanual, cheers

hmm is tempting, also just found out about tuner studio for MS which would massively help with one of my big concerns, so am still contemplating going megasquirt. perhaps i will take your advice and go with MS but run it spark only initially. the whole megasquirt thing is quite daunting as a...

Hi all, am fitting a 1uz (early model) into my offroader and want wading capabilities and have heard and seen lots of good things about megasquirt/megajolt. i plan to keep my engine stock as its only in a little Suzuki Jimny so don't really need any more power etc, all i'm really interested in...

Thats great thanks! Do you know roughly how much longer (if at all ) it will end up compared to a 4spd with kzj transfer bolted straight on? cheers

Hi Gloverman, seen the pics thanks! can you explain what you actually did to convert it? is the darker grey bit the 5spd tail housing, then the front of the surf housing cut off and a new machined one tigged on? if that is the case, how does the new machined plate bolt and seal to the grey...

Gloverman thats brilliant thanks! i've just found/thought of another potential problem which i have posted up in the driveline section but will ask you here too... my current setup with the non vvti is using stock auto bolted to a kzj78 (i think, cant remember 100%) transfer box, the vvti...

Hi all, my project is currently mocked up with a non vvti motor connected to a kzj78 landcruiser transfer box (i think) to get 4wd, i now think i want to change to using a vvti motor for various reasons but just found a potential problem...the gearbox is the 5 speed so is there an easy way to...

Hi, couple quick q's, i'm building my truck (a suzuki Jimny) around a non vvti motor but have decided i potentially want to swap to vvti, and theres one going cheap if i make my mind up in the next 12 hours! are the vvti engine mounts the same? is it actually possible to get vvti motor...

Hi all, got a few questions about the 1uz. Firstly, is the VVTI motor much harder to wire up? 2: i'm sure i read somewhere the vvti's are coil-on-plug ignition? is this the case? as was originally going to run an older 1uz with MS untill i heard the later ones were COP which should be...

as title. am after just a sump ideally but would consider a whole motor? Have an LS400 sump if anyone has a soarer motor but could get away with fitting a ls400 sump and wants some money on top?? Cheers

thats great thanks for all the help, much appreciated! Adam

Sideshow: yes it was your posts about it not being 7 wires that made me post this up basically. i'm not after a quick 'get it to run' soloution just need to know what parts from the car i need to get it to run properly! . is there a seperate transmission ECU? . it will be my first 1uz ive...

Hi, so ive arranged a motor and auto box to go and collect on thursday. ive got to remove it myself which is what i wanted as i want to know how it goes. my question is, is there an engine sub-loom? and if so is this all i need or is it worth my while pulling out the complete loom from behind...

right so the extension housing from the surf with the transfer box from the landcruiser? sorry if im getting repetitive i just don't want to buy the wrong parts! ah right ok, i saw from my extensive reading on toyotasurf you contributed alot of good info (like this!) the tight extractor info...

Hi, thats great! i prefer the sound of the lj transfer box, so will any lj78 or kzj78 transfer box bolt up to the lexus auto in the same way the surf one will? sourcing a th400 and an adaptor over here would be more of a nightmare i think, plus i want to try and keep the number of vehicles im...
