I searched through most of the ATF treads but would like to get a little bit more info on some of the oils and problems. What I've read here: 1. Do not use Dexron III, looks like it makes the gearbox slip. What's the reason for this or is it just an additive in the oil causing the problems...

Has anyone drilled or tapped the alloy part of the sump, What is the average thickness of it, I need to fit my turbo drain but I don't really want to weld something to it, drilling and tapping is easier for me then can just use a screw in fitting.

From what I've read on the forum the heater system works with a valve that opens and closes the flow of the engine coolant through the heater radiator. So when it's closed it totally stops the flow of coolant. Why I want to know this is because I want to totally remove the heater hoses and the...

This is the one manifold for my turbo conversion, 1UZ in S13 SX, I build it using shed 40 mildsteel, stainless just cracks to easy when welded incorrectly. I'l have it coated, but not in the normal silver/alloy color, but the black one as it looks beter on the engine. Sanded manifold...

Stange thing, I broke the propshaft today. It's a one piece with a slipjoint, It twisted the tube right in the centre, broke it in 2. Lucky for me it didn't dig into the road because at 140km/h it might have caused some serious damage. Now the thing, I wasn't even racing the car, normal...

Help a guy here. This is how the engine bay currently looks. I want to make it look good but I can't decide what to do, what to powdercoat and what not to. The blue hoses just don't look right at the moment. Maybe if I and blue in there it'll look beter, or if I replace the radiatorhoses with...

What brand forged rods are available for the 1UZFE. I know Pauter and Argo have rods. I want direct fit, not something that needs to be modded to fit.

Found a companies here that builds controllers, looks impressive. This is a new product but it looks nice, I've used their managements in the past and it works great I use this one, but the one I've got has a lot more functions that the one on the site, they have to update the site with the...

I've read about everything on mods to do on the toyota auto box, From shimming the accumelators to increasing the line pressure. Some say to even adjust the kickdown cable a lot tighter as this increases the line pressure too. Doing this on the A340E they say it's a bit uncomfortable when...

How accurate is the flow rates on the site. Some of them just don't make sense to me, or they have major different types of cores. For example cores 2-173 and 2-197. One is 4.5X10.5X16.5 and the other is 4.5X10.93X19.5, both are horisontal flow according to their drawings, one is just a bit...

I have to buy a socket to remove the nut on the outputshaft of the A341E auto box but forgot to measure it last night. Can any one help with the exact size, I know it has to be a long tube socket. Thanks.

I don’t have a 7M bellhousing or torque converter so I can’t measure it but Maybe someone here can help with a couple of questions. Does the 7M auto bellhousing bolt onto the 1UZ A341E Does the 7M torque converter bolt onto the 1UZ flexplate Why I want to know is, I can get a fully build...

I've decided on the obovementioned turbo for my 1UZ. It was difficult to decide between the 0.68 and the 0.81, being that this will not be a daily driver I decided to go for the 0.81 ratio. I'm going to stick with the autobox for now with a higher stall converter and upgrade to a TH400 later on...

Has anyone fitted one of the abovementioned on a A341E box. If not, will it work on it. I'm struggling to find a toyota shifter here so I'm exploring other options. I've got a nice controller for the gearbox that has 3 modes, fully auto, auto tiptronic and full manual tiptronic. It even controls...

What is the oil pressure of the A341E that runs through the transmission oil cooler. Is it overkill to use steel reinforced hydraulic hoses, because the standard ones were not.

Can anyone help me with the lenght of the stock serp belt for the 1UZFE with all accesories and hydraulic fan. It's a pre 94 model engine from a Toyota Celsior.

The S13 originally had a 2 wire speed sensor but I'm going to use the A341E box but it's got a 3 wire sensor. How did you manage to get the stock electronic speedo to work with that sensor, or did you replace it with another type.

I've decided to fit the 1UZFE into my 180sx, I've seen a couple here on the site and it has helped me a lot. I'll be removing the CA18DET engine the weekend and start cleaning out the enginebay of all the crap. I'm going to stick with the autobox for now because this will mainly be a normal...
