    UZ manual conversion kit for test/sale - I need a volunteer

    Oh ok. Didint know you were posting in here SuperRunner. I was kinda waiting on the flywheel, then last week I ordered a new mountainbike. 2500 bucks lol. About the same as all the money I have put into my Celica 1UZ project. So far... So yeah there is not about a 1 month delay on any big $...

    New on forum please help

    Smell like fuel? If it is getting plenty of fuel, but isnt firing, it should stink of it.

    wiring temp gauge

    Highly doubt it. The 'sender' mostly likely operated on different parameters, which is effectively the one you'd be using. You need to get the appropriate sending unit.

    AFM question

    I read that the AFM I bought is AKA a 'hotwire' AFM. Ok thats fine and dandy, but what kind of AFM is the 90-94? (I thought I had a 96 SC engine, but it was a 95) So... hotwire AFM's run off a variance in resistance (leading to voltage change), so how do the prior aluminum cased ones work...

    Looking for wiring diagram GS430

    Dude, it is not possible to use the stock IS200 ECU. THe ECU controls the engine. How in the hell would you think two ECU's of COMPELTELY different engines would be compatible? A GS430 ECU is like commonly 500 bucks. Buy one lol.

    Desert Prerunner w/ 4.7 vvti

    What front suspension are you ganna run? I havent read much on bolt on Tacona kits as of the recent. But I do recall a few years back TC released a new...wait that was 5-bolt wheels. 1-Off suspension in front? Rear ganna be 3/4 linked? Why cab welded to the chassis? That has no effect...

    Desert Prerunner w/ 4.7 vvti

    Saying they fall flat at 90 mph doesnt make a whole lot of sense. Speed has no effect on power, other than the various drag-forces that are associated with speed. I would expect it would be more RPM dependent than anything. What isnt? His whole point was probably that the truck has a low...

    1uz and r154 flange cad files

    You arent being specific. Tranny side or engine side? In terms of relocations....thats hardly under your control. You do new engine mounts, tranny mounts or both.

    You need a special plug-in? It wont show for me for some lame reason.

    weight for complete 1UZ (non vvti) with auto tran

    I dont know, but probably more like 500-550 with a tranny. Depending what acc's it has was probably the 420/386 numbers. The tranny weighs about a hundred pounds, maybe 20 more with the torque-o-verter.

    Dune Buggy with 1UZFE

    Kinda. The draw back to FWD systems of CV joint. The outputs are offset, so to get any real wheel travel the CV's are going at intense angles...at stock width. Of you center the outputs more, it pushes the engine more to one side resulting in bad (err worse) balance. Then you still have car...

    Dune Buggy with 1UZFE

    I dont know why that says Portland. I am pretty damn sure that aint Portland for 2 reasons. Never heard of that kinda event anywhere near Portland. If so I'd be there. 2- That vehicle resembles the Iceland off-roading event. 4 wheel drive, huge paddles, NOS is common, big engines. They do a lot...

    Dune Buggy with 1UZFE

    The one on the right -appears- to be a UZ [stripped], the left is some sorta flat-4 turbo'd.

    UZ manual conversion kit for test/sale - I need a volunteer

    No he hasn't changed it. I dont mind that too much. A few hours back I sent him the cash for a flywheel. I found that Marlin Crawler offered some good clutches for a decent price. 250-ish. Ceramic and organic options. I would expect if they can take 4k pounds in 4-low, 35's and larger, and...

    Reality Check: Actual RWHP old vs new

    Kinda, I guess. The problem, JBrady, is the examples dont state what RPM each reading is at. It could be the max's listed, but it doesnt specify. I am thinkin the HP numbers may be at the max torque's RPM. Back then these larger engines generally had lower RPM peak torque numbers, which...

    Hey guys. I need a MAF compatible with a 96 SC400 engine. If necessary I will photo the plug. Also need one engine mount, just the rubber part. Mine is cracked. Thanks, Kyle.
