    1UZ into a Commodore

    Hey, thanks for all your help guys but unfortunately I have decided to abort mission for now. I think I may have bitten off a bit more than I can chew with my time limit. I have decided to fix the hilux (dirty old v6 chev, never stops!) and send the harness away to someone who is a bit more...

    1UZ into a Commodore

    Well, I have checked around on a few prices and I was keen on the Autronic Engine management, but after discovering that I was looking at around $3000 (so I was quoted) I have decided to stick to the stock ecu. Back to wiring again unfortunately, this piece of $h!t just wont run properly, I...

    1UZ into a VN (ALMOST COMPLETE, NEED HELP!)

    well, I have got it running but its running like a hiry goat. One side of the extractors start glowing after about 5 mins of running and its pretty unresponsive. I cant figure out what the hell is going on here. The only thing that may be a problem is that I am suposto have 4 oxygen sensors...

    1UZ into a VN (ALMOST COMPLETE, NEED HELP!)

    By following the wiring diagram I have managed to get it to turn over but I have no spark. I have run the wires to the ignition (blk/red) but still have nothing. I'll keep pluggin away untill I get something. It is reassuring that I only have to hook up a few wires though. As for the plugs, I...

    1UZ into a VN (ALMOST COMPLETE, NEED HELP!)

    I am using a 95/96 model 1UZFE out of an LS400, well, trying to. I have checked out those wiring diagrams so ill see how I go. Also, this motor has provision for a hydraulic thermo which I will not be using. Do you know if I can just plug these lines up? Im thinking that it will probably operate...

    1UZ into a VN (ALMOST COMPLETE, NEED HELP!)

    Well, I’m almost there. In two weeks I have performed almost a compete conversion on a VN commodore from a 3.8 V6 to a 96 1UZFE out of an LS400. I'd have to say the hardest thing was fabricating the extractors. I tell you what, there is no room to be running any descent flowing pipes. It’s a log...

    1UZ into a Commodore

    After a week of frustration and anger the motor and box are finally mounted. I tell you what though it wasent easy! After 3/4 of the way there I found out that the crossmember on the VN V8 is different from the V6. Im guessing this is why I had so many problems as I have a V6 crossmember and it...

    1UZ into a Commodore

    You've done a good job on the conversion, nice work. I am starting a transplant for a 1uz into the commo (VN) at christmas and I am a little curious about a few things regarding the installation. *How did you go with the wiring? Did you ditch the old harness/fuse box etc? Also how does...
