Great, thank you.

4U2QUIK, do you have the part number of the TOB you used? Seems there are many variants.

To answer your question, what's important to me is the check light staying off and the car running perfectly (ie. no limp mode). I wanted to make sure it would behave since I was removing some of the Lexus body components (such as the fuel system, ABS, trac) and replacing with the donor...

I'm looking at a '95 LS400 as a parts car, which is OBDII. I'm planning on running a manual transmission. I'm wondering if this engine combo is more trouble than it's worth. I'm okay with a bit more wiring, but is it possible to get rid of all the 'check engine light' codes that are bound...

Any info on stopping the a/t codes? What are the differences in wiring an OBD2 motor vs. an OBD1 with a manual swap? All of the 96+ LS400s here are OBD2. Are there many differences between wiring a 96-97 and 98-00? Thanks

I plan on disconnecting the automatic transmission and running a manual. I read that it's difficult to get the VVTi LS400 ECU to behave when doing that (it throws codes because of the speed sensor in the transmission, limp mode, etc.). I'm not sure if this is because of the newer VVTi 1UZ or...

Thanks for your replies. I just spent quite a few hours reading Lexus and BMW wiring diagrams. The ECU is more or less separate from body functions. I think I've figured out how to go about it. Some potential issues: In terms of A/C, the first gen LS has 2 pins on the engine ECU, AC...

Hi all, I'm currently gathering parts for my swap, and had a question. I've been researching 1UZ swaps for that last couple of weeks, specifically e30 swaps. Most everyone has used a standalone engine management system. Why is that? I'm planning on using the original 1UZ ECU (non-vvti)...

Hi all, I will be taking a look at a few LS400 higher mileage donor cars this weekend. Since I don't care much about the rest of the car, I was wondering if there what to look for in terms of engine condition. I want to make sure I pick a solid base. In short, are there any steps to...

Hi all, I'm new to Lextreme, but not the Lexus scene. I'm on my third LS400, a 1998, and I absolutely love the car. Up to this point, I think we've had six in the family. The 1UZ is a tank and never presented any real issues. My current car is a baby with about 140k on the clock. I am...
