This radiator is meant to be mounted from the top and bottom , I am going to get some flat aluminum welded to the sides so i can use the original radiator mounting holes on the drivers side then put some on the passanger sid e.

Also the in and outs are to long Im going to see about putting some 90* bends in them.
Check out the pic i added of the radiator in the truck.

Probably water inlet. Look how close it is the the engine. Theres no way hes getting a hose on there.

toylocost · 07-24-2009, 11:02 AM

Ah. I missed the next page AGAIN! ARGHH!

RMA · 07-26-2009, 08:56 PM

So I went to the junk yard and got a fuel hose from an sc 400 so I can use it to connect my exsisting fuel line in the runner (passanger side) to the small section I am installing from the ls 400 to the driver side.You can use the hose from the 3.0 but I sold the engine with the hose attached and the xtra one I had I sold it , Dummy Me !!
Today I also installed a brake booster and master cylinder from a 1992 4runner along with the brake lines from the 92.
I also ran 2 sections of hard line ( from Ls 400 ) along the fire wall so I can get the fuel lines to the driver side .
I also cut the flanges off the sc 400 manifolds.
Last week I ordered some manifolds for a tundra of ebay but they are not here yet I am going to see how much trouble it will be to use the sc manifolds.

I also installed the ls 400 throttle cable.

Lucky you to be able to find a Lexus in the junk yard. Must be a wealthy place you are living in. Cause around here its hard enough to find good toyotas! I see what you mean with the radiator. Did you get all the wiring done, and did you have any extra wires that didn't have a home? Any wires you weren't totally sure about? Keep up the good work.

Really This is the first sc ive seen there and the only reason I went was because a guy that came to buy parts from my ls 400 told me he saw the sc and the junkyard .

There was some wires that I did not hook up but nothing that was needed ( I hope )stuff like abs ,light failure , just a bunch of thinks like that.I still need to connect 2 power and 2 ground wires a under tha dash and that should be it for the wiring.Oh except for the 4wd light I will use the trac light in the ls cluster for that, but when i install the tranny a i will finish that.

Question about fuel and brake lines do you know if the lines use 45 degree double flare ends , i need to buy a flaring tool but am unsure which to buy .

I do believe they are double flares but am unsure if they are 45 degree also.

thanks !!

It was designed to feed a 150hp engine, and you're now inserting a powerplant that makes at least 250hp.

It'll work to get you fired up and most of the kinks worked out, but keep an eye open for lean conditions under load when you take it to the road/trail.

Thanks for the reply, I have read a few threads where they are using the 3.0 pump , but they never really updated the threads to say how well the 3.0 pump did work.

I guess I really see no reason why not to put the ls 400 pump in the 4runner, i guess thats one more thing to add to the list.

Thanks Again.

I bet that list doesn't seem to ever get any smaller! I may have missed it but what are you doing about the transfer case? Still using the stock one that came with the 4Runner? Adapter? Thanks

RMA · 07-27-2009, 03:36 PM

I will be using the lexus auto along with an inchworm adapter to a gear case.
I never did post pics but here is the adapter .

I still have not worked on the tranny , im just trying to go 1 problem at a time.

RMA · 07-28-2009, 04:48 PM

So I got my radiator back from the welders,should work now.Final price for the radiator was $250 thats with the customizing of the in and outs .
Considering Advanced adapters has a direct fit V8 swap radiator for $425 and the local radiator shop wanted $500 to make me a radiator with 4 rows , direct fit I think thats good .

I also was able to finally find a serpintine belt for this engine without a/c .
Took me a while but finaly found one in stock a local autoparts store.

If you guys see something wrong with the way the belt is installed please speak up.I think it will work like this.
I had to extend the oil pressure connector about 6" for the sc oil filter housing,the alternator wiring at the plug was bad so I re wired that today also.

Hopefully I can put this engine in the truck this weekend and finally leave it there, I pulled this thing about 10 times.

Oh I also took the el cheapo ryobi grinder with a cut off wheel and cut about 1/2" off of the pilot thing for the original clutch fan,for a little more room.

RMA · 07-28-2009, 06:42 PM

Ok quick update ,I added the radiator rubbers from the lexus to the new radiator ,I dont have a way to weld aluminum so I used 2" x 1" aluminum tubing and 3/16 x 1/4 aluminum rivets then drilled 1 1/2 " hole for the rubbers.
I am unsure about the top right now , I bought some steel tubing I thought I was going to use but I like the way the aluminum looks and I think the rivets will hold just fine I used 10 on the bottom.
I also want to find a way to mount the fans other than the zip ties that come with the fans .
Right now I have 2 fans and will wait and see how they work , I may have to get 1 more , but I hope not.
and since I like pictures more than words Here are some .

ignatz · 07-29-2009, 08:36 AM

RMA - Most of the other detailed 1UZ swaps are a few years old or from another region. Thanks for sharing your current experience! I hope you don't mind a few off-topic questions.

Why did you choose to go with the Inchworm Pre-Runner adapter kit instead of modifying the LS400's A341e using parts from a compatible A340F transmission?

How much do you estimate you'll recover from parting out the LS400? How did you go about pricing the bits?

RMA · 07-29-2009, 09:39 AM

Thanks , and no problem I will try to answers what I can .

I chose the inchworm adapter simply because I thought it would be the easiest.
I took a A340h apart just to get an idea what was going on and did not really feel comfortable trying to dissasemble 2 trannies to make one.

I have been able to sell about $1000 in parts from the lexus so far .I also sold the 3.0 and tranny that were in the truck .

and sorry I dont know what you mean by "pricing the Bits".

I did read all the threads on the 1uz swap That I could find and finally got tired of reading conflicting info and said screw it Just do it.

If you have anymore question feel free , I will try to help .
Just remember I still have not got this thing running and have a lot to get done still.

yodathespian87 · 07-29-2009, 09:45 AM

So you don't have A/C? Are you going to put one in? Or do you not need one where you are at?

RMA · 07-29-2009, 09:57 AM

No no a/c , it wasnt working to begin so I wont be installing it right now , who knows maybe later.

CyMoN · 07-29-2009, 04:00 PM

very nice looking job so far.
how will it work with Cali inspections?

RMA · 07-29-2009, 05:32 PM

To be Honest I dont know ,Ive never done this before so I really dont know what they will look for .
I did read the engine has to be newer than the one installed and all the emissions stuff from the new engine has to be installed also.
So thats what Im trying to do.

I am worried about the fuel lines right now Im not sure If I could use brass compression fittings to connect the hard line to a small section of rubber hose .

RMA · 07-31-2009, 07:54 PM

Ok update ...
IAfter staring at the motor a while I noticed that the belt may slip when wet or when I floor it so I returned the belt and got one 2 " shorter.This looks better I think.

Also I decided to add some support to the upper part of the radiator supprt , I added 3/4 x 3/4 x 1/8 angle iron with a couple of nuts weldeed to it for anchoring the radiator at the top.

I also connected the two pieces of supply line with a compression fitting and installed the kick down switch from the lexus.I dont know what this switch is for but its connected to the computer so I installed it. I thought the cable from the throttle body was doing the kick down but whatever.

speed sensor , I thought I was going to be able to just install the lexus sensor in the transfer case and thats it, but Noo that would have been to easy.
The lexus sensor gear has 17 yes 17 teeth and the transfer case sensor gear has 18 teeth so I just shorted the transfer case sensor gear and notched it like the lexus then had my friend machine a taper to it like the lexus one and then made a small bracket to hold it in . Now you could buy a sensor or an adapter from marlin ,but since I had both of these and my friend charged me nothing Ill see if this works if not I will buy the adapter for the transfer case sensor. The sensor now fits fine and does turn 3 for 1 like it did in the lexus tranny.

Hopefully I can install the engine and radiator along with hooking eveything up in the engine bay this weekend for the last time.
I cut the sc manifolds a bit but they still hit the upper a arm brackets ,so Im just waiting for the tundra manifolds ,they still have not arrived.

**waskillywabbit** · 08-01-2009, 07:28 AM

Very cool stuff. Wish I had the time for stuff like this.

RMA · 08-01-2009, 05:11 PM

Yea Brian thanks !! It is taking all my free time right now to do this thing.The wiring was what took me a long time , the lexus cluster in the 4runner was a big headache.

This is what I was able to get done today.
Install engine
Install evap from lexus
connect fuel lines to engine
install radiator (still need to make upper mounts)
install igniters
install maf and massage old battery seat so it could fit.
install 3.0 power steering lines (worked good).
heater core lines
hose from brake booster to intake (shortened it a bit)

I just realized I am missing somethings and will order them asap.
Radiator cap ,overflow tank
small fitting for radiator to attach hose to overflow tank
I have a fan controler I was going to use , but will order a new one to be safe.

**waskillywabbit** · 08-01-2009, 05:17 PM

Beautiful. I love following threads like this.

I actually got an engine of my own off the floor and onto an engine stand for a soon to be swap.

RMA · 08-01-2009, 05:31 PM

Yea me to , all though I havent been able to follow others lately, when I can I follow them.
I am still waiting for my friend to finish the cluster surround ,hes doing it on his free time to save me some money . Hopefully he can finish it soon.He owns a shop here in town ( SJ Customs ) and has been pretty busy lately.
Your work Table came out looking really good , I wish I could have something like that here ,I may make one like yours but alot smaller.

Thanks for following.

RMA · 08-01-2009, 08:41 PM

well after a little break , I went to the truck and looked around for a bit a decided I could put power to the truck and take a look at the cluster for the first time.
I connected the battery and blinkers and the alarm came on so I turned the blinkers off and the alarm off and re connected the battery.

Here is a little vid of the cluster it will be on all the time , it has a tint to it this is the way its in the lexus.
I have a couple lites on and will check to see whats up with that.
The oil may just be because the engine has no oil I drained it.
Th radiator light may just be because its not connected to anything , I think.

This was super exciting to see, it worked for the first time and no fuses blown.

sorry about the quality, it was taken with with a kodak easy share real quick , I will try and use the other camera for the other vids.

It is taking all my free time right now to do this thing.The wiring was what took me a long time , the lexus cluster in the 4runner was a big headache. This is what I was able to get done today. Install engine Install evap from lexus connect fuel lines to engine install radiator (still need to make upper mounts) install igniters install maf and massage old battery seat so it could fit. install 3.0 power steering lines (worked good). heater core lines hose from brake booster to intake (shortened it a bit) I just realized I am missing somethings and will order them asap. Radiator cap ,overflow tank small fitting for radiator to attach hose to overflow tank I have a fan controler I was going to use , but will order a new one to be safe. __________________ '89 2wd X-tracab,W55,22re,My DD '94 SR5 4Runner 4x4,A340H, 3VZE,Alpine deck,Wifes DD '88 SR5 4runner ,A341E,1UZ-FE,kenwoodVZ907, XRC8, Homemade Roof rack.33x10.50,15 KM2 1" home made body lift, BJ spacers ,CB, rear disc brakes ,lockright rear.sky ebrake,truetrac front.
