Hi, does anyone else on here any experience with the PCS controller ? I am 90% of the way through wiring one up to my a341e. PCS are really really bad at answering emails. Almost to the point that I wish I'd bought a controller from somewhere else. Obviously, i've spent my money so now...

Need a little help with the wiring on my '91 1uz conversion. Ive searched the internet top to bottom and there is a lot of conflicting information and I've tried every concievable variation but I cant get my charge light to work. On my alternator I have The main post charging wire in 4G size...

Ok, I'm about to make up a balance pipe for my project. I will have a twin system from front to back and I like the old school sound of a pure separated system but appreciate the advantages of having a balance pipe. Now, i'm not a fan of the x pipe types because I personally believe that it...

Have a 1uz in my ford capri (still building). Made up a set of power steering pipes for it last week and today tightened it all up and filled the pump reservior with fluid. Started the motor and I have no power assistance at all. I pulled the pipes and attached them to a really old ford...

I've been making up some stainless headers for the past few weeks. It's been a bit of a 'make it up as you go' kind of effort mainly due to my lack of experience, and the small amount of room left in my Ford Capri's engine bay. I've been closely watching the headers being built on here by...

Below is a quick number chart showing the firing order according to cylinder number. The Main number indicates the cylinder number and the number in brackets is the firing order. 8(2) 7(7) 6(5) 5(6) 4(3) 3(4) 2(8) 1(1) I am trying to work out the best design for a tri y header. I am...

I am finally getting close to getting my 1uz / ford capri conversion to dyno stage. I'm working out how to do the tailshaft at the moment. I've spoken to a number of tailshaft specialists last week and been recommended to do the following :- use the original rubber doughnut assembly directly...

I'm having trouble with the header design website (www.headerdesign.com). I can get to the main page, but it will not allow me to login to my existing account or create a new one. Is anyone else having the same problem ? Elliot

Just looking for some input on a pipework question. On my 1uz, I am hoping to delete the radiator overflow bottle proving I can lift the radiator up enough once the engine is in the car. At the moment I am assuming I can do this. On my engine there are two cast coolant manifolds, I dont know...

Can someone please post a wiring diagram of the a341E transmission ? I am trying to wire up a tiptronic controller and need somewhere to start from. I asked this same question some time ago but the reply wont load for me any more..... Elliot

I'm having a wee bit of trouble remembering where all the plumbing goes on my engine......again ! There is a vacuum line which runs from the front of the plenum down to the power steering pump, then back up to a tee in the ISCV to inlet pipe. What order do these pipes connect at the power...

Just though I'd share this with you guys (I hope it's news....maybe some of you know more than I do). I was at my regular car club meeting tonight held in Melbourne. I was chatting to one of the members there, who it turns out happens to work for Motec. He's one of the application engineers...

I damaged one of the camshaft gears (the ones that sit half way along the camshaft) when pressing one off. The one I need is the left hand intake cam gear. I dont know 100% but I would guess that I would need the exhaust cam gear set also as they probabaly are meshed together as a matched...

I'm assembling my engine from scratch. I took quite a few pages of notes and photographs when I stripped it, but theres still a few things that are puzzling me. On the small section of loom that goes to the starter motor, there are two connectors for the knock sensors, there is a large cable...

I'm at the stage now with my engine build up that I'm ready to fit some cams. The engine specs :- lightened 10:1 forged ross pistons Heads been ported and polished New manley race valves. +1mm exhausts Uprated camshaftshop valve springs I will be running an aftermarket computer and making...

Im just about to assemble the rings and pistons into my engine. The engine has been bored and honed to 88mm. The pistons and rings are all new Ross items. The paperwork that came with the pistons shows some calculations to work out the top and 2nd ring gaps. It states that the top gap...

Just wanted to know if anyone on here has actually fitted the shimless solid buckets from an MR2 into their 1UZ ?? Are they a straight swap without needing machining in any way ? What sizes are available ? Does anyone have a part # list of the different sizes ? Does anyone have any idea what...

I'm finally after months of tracking down parts about to put my engine back together. I've had nightmares with the valves and pistons due to the distributor 'Fabre' in Sydney being the most useless bunch of people I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. Anyway, got a few pictures of the heads...

I've been given a full set of 8 holden V8 injectors. They are brand new and probably worth a few bucks (i'm not owning up to being a holden fan here....). I've compared them visually to the 1uz ones I have. The centre section looks identical in every way. The nozzle end has a different...

I'm just finishing rebuilding my alternator. There must be a part missing here somewhere. The pulley centre hole is far bigger than the alternator shaft. There must be something else?? I have boxes and boxes of stuff which I have gone through, I'm just wondering if I have lost this missing part...
