    Code confusion

    My 1uz Hilux has thrown up a code or two. I am not sure if it is two codes 7 and 8, or one code 78. I have multiple code lists, some list 7/8 as TPS and IAT sensors. But other code lists do not start until code 12 which would make it 78 which is fuel pump control. Any idea?

    No boost

    Finally finished my m90 project today, started first hit, looks great with the belt and pulleys running perfectly. With the pulley change I estimated 5 to 6lb boost but sadly nothing, even with the bypass valve removed and the butterfly manually operated by hand. I pulled the hose off the...

    intercooler

    Long story short, I was going to low boost turbo my 1uz for burnouts. After research and advice from this forum I own an m90 instead. I chose the m90 because I intend on sticking to low boost and hopefully the stock ecu. I am making the manifold now, but I am unsure whether at 6lb boost an...

    Coolant bypass

    I competed in a burnout comp with my Hilux 1uz yesterday, summer here in Nth Qld so it was bloody hot.

    Hey guys, I have been building a Hilux burnout/show car for the past 12 months. Its painted to perfection and in my opinion the most awesome Hilux I have ever seen. I dropped the 1uz in with a hi rise manifold so the throttle body is out of the bonnet. Its mated to a ford c4 auto with 3500...

    check light query

    Hey guys, A little confused here. Putting a 1uz into a Hilux and I had set up check light W wire to a globe and the other side of the globe to 12v power. Nothing happens. So I disconnected 12v power and earthed the wire instead and the light comes on. Is this okay?

    Eliminating cats

    I have a 1uz in a hilux for off road racing, and I am at the exhaust stage of the project. I have searched older posts and the internet for info on cats and o2 sensors and have not found anything really helpful. As this car will never be driven on roads can I eliminate the cats and rear o2...

    unknown wires

    Just getting familiar with my 1uz. I was checking out the loom where it goes into the back of the motor for the starter. There was the main starter lead, I am guessing two wires for the knock sensors, one for the solenoid, but there are two more in a clear insulation. Its these two I am...
