    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Haha. I don't have the time to reproduce my motor mounts, but I put the measurements right there for you. You can even put a protractor on your screen to get the correct angles. It would be easy to make some copies just based on those pictures.

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    These unlocked ECUs are simply VVTI ECUs with disabled security systems; it has nothing to do with tuning or chipping or what have you. The Immobilizers present in the VVTI engines are a security feature in the ECU which prevent the car from starting/running without the original key present...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    For some reason, when I try to edit the original post all of the information is erased. I'll try to fix the pictures later on. The stock SC400 exhaust manifolds fit perfectly into our Supras. I just had a Y-pipe made between the exhaust manifolds and my Apexi N1 cat-back exhaust. I only have...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    The benefit of an adapter plate is that it is machined perfectly to specifications which position everything perfectly, from the input shaft of the transmission to the clutch release bearing. You know for a fact that everything is going to line up straight and true where as this cannot be...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Sorry for the late reply, man. I've been off the grid for a while. The 1UZ off a GS400 is the VVTi version. You can use it but you'd have to get a rear sump oil pan assembly from an SC400, and I believe the oil filter housing will have to be changed as well. Your biggest problem is going to be...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Hahaha, my goal wasn't to deter people from doing the swap, but I'm glad I was able to help you make an informed decision. UPDATE: I added a parts list. I also intend to provide more detailed information and pictures about running A/C soon.

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    I have popped the plates off. The plates are VERY similar, but the ports are completely different. Even though the 7M compressor plate bolts on to it, the ports won't line up. =\ Great question though! I'll post pictures of my A/C lines when I get the chance. Thanks (once again) for your input...

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Haha. Apparently, you're the only one who thinks so. Sticky or not, I hope someone benefits from this. I'd like to see more UZA70s out there.

    1UZ Swap: Basic Obstacles and Overview

    Someone PM'd me (on another forum), asking about the biggest obstacles involved in a 1UZ Swap. I asked him a few questions to narrow things down and I gave my reply; I figured I might as well take my reply and make it more universal so that others may benefit from it, seeing as how 1UZ Swaps are...

    Wiring the 1UZ-FE into a Pre-89 Supra

    Thank you, 4U2QUIK; and thanks again, Chambers. I started up my car for the first time today; as it turns out I made a mistake with the engine bay wiring. It's all fixed now. https://www.facebook.com/v/10151342644029547

    Wiring the 1UZ-FE into a Pre-89 Supra

    Thanks a lot, man; for the compliment and for the advice. I will test the EFI Relay and take a closer look at my engine bay wiring as soon as possible.

    Wiring the 1UZ-FE into a Pre-89 Supra

    Yup. I made a patch harness between the two, using 7M Harness connectors and SC400 body connectors. I have like five wires connected to the Black-Orange wire, including: - The fuel pump, which I've wired into a separate 30A relay; utilizing the 12 volt mod. - The Black-Orange wire from IJ1 -...

    Wiring the 1UZ-FE into a Pre-89 Supra

    I don't suppose you could be more specific? I'm doing a '96 1UZ into an '89 MA70, and I can't get my ECU to turn on. Post 96 1UZs have an extra wire on the 1J1 plug for the fuel injectors; I just jumpered it into a switched source (B-1, Pin 17[black-orange], if I remember correctly) and that...

    New 7M Install

    This beast is finally coming together. I see you're making good use of my Torque Wrench that you've had for half a year. Hahaha. Remember to call me up when you're ready to drop that motor in. =]

    Holset HX35

    I'm currently piecing together a whole new set up with an HX35. I'm going to fabricate a front facing intake manifold, and remove at least two feet of piping. That should increase my throttle response nicely. I'd like to do exactly what NTRA08 did with his Turbo manifold (CT26 to T3 adapter)...
