I have built a beachbuggy using the 1uzfe and auto out of a 91 soarer. I mated the auto up to a surf transfer case and ran the tail shaft back to a pajero independent rear end. The front end I built a twin a arm suspension to give it a better ride .I am running the factory ecu that has been mines chipped it came with the front cut that i bought .The buggy probably weighs about 1000kgs,power to weight ratio is good theres plenty of wheel spin .This is the first time I have posted hopefully the attached image will be shown this is all new to me.I will post more pictures if it works.
Here I have used a pajero back end the diff is a 9.5 inch diff that I turned upside down inorder to go forward instead of reverse.Its ratio is 4.3 I have given it a good hiding and it seems to hold up well.The air intake I spun around and faced it forward for better air flow ,its sounds mad at full revs . I am going to strip it down and paint it soon so I will take some better photos of the build.I will put some footage of it running on you tube soon.
