I was told that all the 98 + and VVTI V8 engines are drive by wire. I own a 01 Tundra and its got a cable throttle body on it. I just found this out when I was jumping off a friends car. Does this mean that the SC400's and LS400's etc are all cable drive? I wanted to know if the SC400 98...

Hey guys I had a guy from down under say you could ditch the complete ecu harness and so on and put a carb/intake manifold and run an MSD box to it that it would be minimal wiring wise? to use in a street rod locally.... I was wondering if anyones done this? It seems interesting. Jeff

people often say the VVTI is something worth staying away from, but i was wanting to get away from the distributers and have coilpacks instead. I figured a 3uz (minus the 5K price range) would be a great choice for a friend. He is seeking my knowledge and I've already told him about the forums...

I am currently a Supra TT MKIV 6speed owner. My car makes 486whp and 413wtq. Its crazy fast, but I still dont like the car! I am in the process of buying a house and a quick way to assure i can afford the house is to sell my Supra. I figured that would be a good idea.... What am I...

When you see the new tundra you either love or hate the grill and other features. But all (members here at least) love the power, torque, and proven speed the new V8 makes. The Tundra is no light weight vehicle to begin with but we have to wonder will the 5.7L fit into an SC300/400 or Supra...

What you see is what you get, without doors though. Pickup only, and not sure whats all missing etc. so please dont ask. I DO NOT have the title, but it will roll onto a trailer (I dont trust a dolly since its been sitting for years. The good thing about the car is the quarter panels are great...

As my title clearly states? I hear people say, run a 12 Volt source to the FP. Then run the starter wires to the battery, then ignition to car harness to engine.... What else? I'm I making it overly complicated? Is there anyone here that could list the process (basic I know since all cars...

Hey guys I was attempting to put a V8 in my MR2 project over a year ago and bought a supra and lost the love of the swap so I parted the car out. I still have the motor and I love the 1uz I really do. I was going to mount it on a Porsche transmission, can ANYONE tell me if anyone makes an...

I need the front and rear coolent pipes, the front has the thrermostat and return hole, and the rear has the heater core hole. The reason: I need to move the return hole to the back and close the front return hole off, due to me running this motor in a mid engine car with VERY limited space...

I have a 92 1uzfe TB, that I would like to clean up a bit, first off I am going to cut off the other TPS sensor and selinoid that controls the TRAC. Also I wanted to know if you guys know if you can just delete the coolent lines to the TB? I would like to just cut those holes off and weld them...

Wanted to buy, a Toyota emblem for the intake manifold. I am putting my Lexus motor into an MR2 and wanted to keep all Toyota emblems, it might seem stupid but its what I want lol. Would like to buy using PAYPAL. Jeff

Are these 1uzfe's as easy as the USA's LS1 to wire up? What I want to do is keep it simple with as few wires as possible? is this possible? I dont have 5K dollars sitting around to tow my car to a shop and have them install a haltech on it or such. I know I posted this some where else but...

HI gang, regarding my swap... This past weekend I took out my 1uzfe, well looking over the wiring harness I realized, I dont want wiring out my ass. So whats the best way to take care of this? EMS yes, but I sorta wanted to use the OEM computer at the moment. Im probably going to use a turbo...
