1UZ swap - running.
 

Got quite a bit done over Easter. Basically ran out of things to do until shops are reopen.
Only things left are:
Intake pipe from airbox to throttle body
One of the AC lines needs to be extended
Buy and fit accessory belt
Bonnet pins
Put bung in gearbox where speedo sensor usually goes
Swap current muffler to Perrin 3"
Fluids

Will get all of that done this week. And next week am taking it to HPA labs to get the motec wired and tuned.

Can't wait to see this thing running.

I see you have a snap on cordless ratchet! Ive had mine since they came out and its been great. Awesome for tight spaces and not fumbling with air lines.

possible to get it weighed when its all done as well?

You and me both!

One of the best tools ever.

Yes I intend on doing this. Have already corner weighed it pre conversion, and will be doing the same after conversion.

Please use ITB's on this setup!! They sound so wicked! The response you gain isn't bad either. Are you doing a lightweight rotating assembly?

Sigh, i might do this sooner than i thought ...

Interesting

What intake manifold is that? most 1UZ I have seen have the throttle body on the side on the intake.

depending on the year of the engine, the intake was either on the side of the manifold or directly in front of the manifold. newer year UZ motors had the throttle body on front of the intake

What transmission (and adaptor used if manual) was used for this swap? Also, would like some info on the engine and transmission motor mounts. Also any canbus programming tips if you are using stock gauges would be lovely. We would love as much detail as possible.

The VVTi version (1998+) has the front-facing intake manifold

Really interesting build sir

I've spent half my Saturday on forums, updating similar threads in other places. So going to instead do it from now on on a fb page.
Feel free to follow if you want. Ask questions etc.
Means I can upload things easier. Not answer the same questions over and over etc.
