This is the motor out of petrol 80 series Landcruisers. They are big and thirsty but can produce awesome hp. Guys in Oz have turbo-ed and supercharged them. I assume they are built pretty tough internally. I have read they have same bellhousing as 1uz or at least require minimal mods to go where...

The box you have is likely to be the R150 or R151 which isn't much different in size to the original Hilux box, G52 or whatever (early Lux 4 speeds were smaller). These R series boxes came in 1985+ 2.4L Turbo Diesel Bunderas and recently 78 and 100 series non turbo diesel Landcruisers, and mate...

I got no experience... but notice that a few have developed their own "heavy duty" clutch. Dellow for one. Venom (in QLD) said he has adapted Nissan clutch (apparently higher clamping pressure?) and machines flywheels to suit. I think Twisty Toy used this and I will too unless I spot something...

Yes the 2UZ manual in Cruiser is an H series, completely different to R series and absolutely huge (ie physically about half as big again). Would require transmission tunnel mods to just about any vehicle other than big 4wd. The gears are also heavy giving truck style gear changes. But great...

I wonder about the auto also. It has electronics doesn't it? Wouldn't that make it vulnerable being so low on the car? When first looking at a 1UZ conversion for their off road weapons I see a couple of guys wanted either manuals or T700 instead of the Toy auto.. I wondered whether the...

Sounding very promising now Guts. As to this talk on air intake plumbing- has anyone actually reversed the plenum and got pics of it? It would solve a few issues and does it really look that bad? Josh.

Good work Michael. How did you adapt the auto to the t/ fer? Did you have to use spud shaft? Josh.

I have 80 series Cruiser diffs under my Hilux, which has offset centre, while my t case is centred. A lot of people say that in principle it should work- the driveshaft modding people weren't so confident. I put double cardan joint on front of shaft. It works OK for moment almost no vibes...

Hmmm..... thanks Zuffen but I might leave that one where it is. Josh.

According to Marks Adaptors site- www.marks4wd.com/lc-100-series-info.htm- the 100 series Cruiser has the A750F 5 speed automatic behind the 2 uz motor. I thought I heard this box will directly mate to 1uz but could be mistaken. Does anyone know much about this? It is very desirable for my...

One problem with your conversion MacroP- the Surf t case has centred rear output but your 75 series has offset rear output.... are you going to run an angled rear propshaft? Josh.

Anyone know more about this? I'm in market for 1/2 cut within next month or so for 4x4 Hilux- I'm about to start ringing around. Josh.
