Peewee is correct, the Camry V6 manual trans is the same as an MR2 turbo trans... The Camry is packaged for FWD use, and is completely different than the V8...

Hello, Even if you can get enough taken off the front of the engine, how are you going to mate it to a Toyota FWD transmision? You could make an adaptor plate, but that still does not solve the next problem.... do you have room to pass the passenger side axle past the V8 engine? The...

I sais it once before, you need to get the wiring diagrams and fully understand the speed control circuit.... If after that you still do not fully understand the circuit, how it operates, and how to diagnose it, you should give up and take the car to a profesional.... That said, I think...

Why don't you completely diagnose the problem before blindly replacing components like the ECU etc? Start by getting the relevant electrical diagrams to fully understand the fuel pump control circuit..... Why not check the fuel pressure at the rail to see if you are having a low fuel...

The R154 is a great box, I just think it has an oiling issue..... I would like to see it have an oil pump in it like an E series box, then you could fire some more lube at the thrust washer... How does a cromoly thrust washer help? The stock cast one is not being "smashed" to death, it...

Andrew, Make sure that whatever AEM box you get has the right crank/cam trigger system to match your new engine... If an AEM is for a car with a magnetic trigger, it cannot be made to sense an inductive pickup etc.... The hardest part with doing anything off the beaten path with the AEM...

what about the TEMS actuator wires that go to the motor on top of the shocks? That wire comes from the same harness that the AFM and ignitors are on..... If so, they can be removed from the harness... Carl C

Too bad the R154 doesn't hardly handle any power..... we've locked up the thrust washer on 3 of them already..... not enough lube to the thrust washer.... at 430 wheel horsepower, we can make about 6 full passes on the 1/4 mile before it locks up the washer...

Lex, I am a little bit worried about your packaging of the wastegate. With no flex section in the WG plumbing and very short tubes, I fear that they will crack off in short order. When I am faced with tight packaging and no room for a true flex, I slide two pieces of tube together, one on...

There is a big difference between rising rate-fuel pressure and the unit (SX) that is pictured there....... A rising rate adds fuel pressure in a ratio greater than 1 to 1 as boost increases. This helps add more fuel on budget turbo setups... most are 4 to 1. 1 psi boost adds 4 psi to base...

Zuffen, YES PLEASE! I will try to mail you so we can come together on a price.... thanks! Carl Crawford

Hello, Does anyone know the part number for the Crown ECT computer? I am going to have to search for one in Japan, as I cannot seem to locate one over here in the states.... Thanks! Carl Crawford

The 3 metal shims is the gasket, they are usually spot-welded together..... The 1UZ manifold is a 2 piece, but it seals just like any other manifold...

Bubs, The gasket that was on it looks just like every other Toyota multi-layer steel manifold gasket I have ever seen..... just like a 3s, 5s, 3mz, 1mz, etc. The engine I have is from a Crown, is the LS400 different or something? Carl C

OK, So on the back of the intake manifold, there is a very large banjo fitting for the brake booster, and there is a really small vacume nipple. What is the rear vacume nipple for? Maybe vacume feed for the climate control? PS, I am looking for a Crown ECT computer.... Thanks! Carlc

Ah, OK! Won't be needing that..... Did it terminate after the PS pump to a nipple in the bellows between the TB and the AFM? I do not have the bellows, so I am not sure what nipples it had in it besides the main connection to the idle speed motor... Thanks! Carl C

Ah! You guys are correct once again! the middle 4 pin is for the low pressure switch on the bottom of the AC compressor and the dump valve on the back.... Here is another question, not wiring related..... On the "front" of the intake manifold, there are 2 little vacume nipples...

Thanks Guts and OZvenon..... The wire I was wondering about is indeed for the TEMS (shock servo control) system..... there is another group of wires on the AC compressor side with the same color code.... they can be removed from the harness. As long as we are playing the...

The wires for the throttle position and traction control are in a completely different place, this is coming out of the extension that serves the AFM and ignitors.... The alternator connector would have 3 wires, this is 4 wires.... Anybody out there have a crown engine running in...

Hello, Maybe someone with a Crown engine can help me out.... My harness came with a few connectors smassed and/or missing. In the area of the Air Flow Meter, it looks like I have 4 connectors comeing off the main harness..... One is for the AFM Two come out at the same place and are...
