Just noticed one of the straps on my radiator has cracked off one side. Am going to get it fixed next week, but just thought I'd see wether it would be worth getting it converted to a dual pass radiator while they've got it? Heres a pic of my current setup, on the right is the old std. V6...

Had a a miss start in the 4runner last week. It was mainly at lower revs, and would sometimes clean up at higher revs. I kept driving it hoping that it was just a sh!tty bit of fuel, but it never got better. Ended up checking the plugs, and one of them was burnt out. Swapped a new one in and...

I just finished getting aircon put back into my 4runner after having the Lexus V8 fitted for over 2 years......The aircon works great once driving, but doesn't work at idle. I assume this is becuase I have no idle up hooked up. If I manually lift the revs to about 1200rpm the aircon kicks in...

I've been keen on getting some decent headers custom made for my 4runner for a while now, but have been holding back becuase of how much they are probably going to cost. So I was thinking lately that there is probably enough 4runners, Hilux's and Surfs running aroung with 1UZ's and std...

It was in a small mud run event at a Rover Park, and I wasn't going to hard, but atleast you can here the V8 at full noise at the end. (you'll need to turn the volume up to here it) Enjoy! {video missing}

Seen a link to this on a Australian 4WD Monthly forum and thought it was pretty cool.....A guy has ordered one, and ended up being $250au.....by the time it gets to OZ. http://www.scangauge.com/ Not sure if it will work on a 1UZ-FE but?? I'm guessing it wont (seems it only suits 96+ models)...

Well my V8 sh!t itself a couple weeks ago, which most likely started from when I cooked it late last year when the thermo fan blew a fuse while towing my zook out to Landcruiser Park. Anyway, I picked up a new V8 this week from Scott at Venom and will be putting it in this weekend....I ran some...

Hey All, Am halfway thorugh pulling the motor to bits to get the heads off....Just got to pull the timing belt stuff off, intake manifold, and cam covers, and they should be right to come off. I'll be pulling them tonight, but I just thought I'd check if there is any special tools...

Well finally got the truck dyno'd the other week, and am pretty happy with the results (i think, not sure why the torque goes up and down so much??). The calculted power at the flywheel was 189kw...so everything must be running right. Click the link below for the report taken at the wheels...

Just wondering if anyone knows what the std. electric air compressors out of the half cuts flow? preferably in litres/min?? I recently bought a airlocker for the 4Runner and Scott from venom gave me one of the air compressors yesterday, which I'm hoping to use in the setup if it flows enough.

I've done over 1000kms in since installing the Lexus V8 into my 4Runner. For the first 1000kms the clutch was fine, the pedal felt nice and engaged nice, with no slipping. But it the pedal/clutch has slowly gotten worse over the last week. It has gotten really sticky and engages really rough...

Just wondering what airbox's people have used for converisons in a Hilux or 4Runner when using the standard AFM. I bought a VL Commodore Airbox ($15) after seeing one in Scott's (venom) courier, since the AFM pretty much bolts up and it looked like it would fit in my 4runner. But I can't get...

On the pic below are the vacum hose connections on the power steering pump (above alternator) for the idle up? and also where should the vacum hoses run too? Do you need to have a idle up connected for power steer or will it be fine without? Thanks

Just got a couple of questions about my 1UZ. In the photo below in the two red circles, you can see that on the right side there is a bracket which seems to clamp down on a seal at the back of the cam cover, and on the left side it is missing? Is this needed to make sure that it seals or will it...

I picked up my 1UZ from Scott at Venom yesterday and the motor is a bit dirty for my liking. It wasn't bought as a halfcut it was just an engine. Anyway I want to clean it all up and maybe add some "bling" if possible. So I'm just after any hint or cheap tricks people have got for getting a...

I have just about got enough money to get my conversion underway but can't deciede what to do as it has now come time to purchase the motor or halfcut. I'm currently running WOLF on the V6 in my 4Runner but due to a tuning error the V6 has died due to exessive detonation, which I was told by...

1UZFE into V6 4Runner Hi All, First off, what a great forum!! There is so much hell info on here!! Since the beginning of this year I've been getting the V6 (3vze) in my 94 4Runner ready to be turbo charged, and after having everything just about done (WOLF 3D, Turbo, 3" mandrel exhaust...
