So for the flywheel you just sourced a 5vze flywheel and sent it off to LC engineering and told them to change the bolt pattern so it will fit a 1uzfe? how much did it cost?

Why did you choose the 5vze over the 3vze flywheel?

the only thing that i am still confused about is everything involved to mate the r150f to the 1uz.

just call me smithy

nice work!!! gata love the v8

I used a steel adapter plate. It bolts to the R150 then you bolt the stock bellhousing for the 1UZE to the adapter.

ok great thanks ill probably do that for the flywheel then
what clutch did you use?

and besides the adapter plate to attach it dont you have to custom mount a slave cylinder or something? or do you just put in the clutch and flywheel bolt it up and your good to go. What goes on on the inside?

Don't you just love it when the big brown truck pulls up? Got the aluminum radiator and oil filter relocation kit in.

toy4whatever

Well after getting the radiator and sliding it in place I realized I wouldn't have much room for a fan. I pulled the engine and trans so I could massage the firewall a bit. I cut the engine mounts off so I can relocate them. I have started tearing into the wiring and getting fittings for the fuel lines. Right now the engine is sitting back on the floor until I can get time to mess with it.

The flywheel fits perfect. The ring gear is in the correct place for proper engagement.

oh man nice build i was thinking of doing one my self but i wanted to keep my stock 5 speed trany from my 94 4 runner is their a way i can do that??

subscribed- good work

Let me know if you need some local wrench help, I'd also like to see this thing since my HG popped labor day.

i am also curious to see what you are doing for a slave cylinder set up. i am almost getting to that point myself and still undecided...

It’s been awhile since I got a chance to work on the truck. I’ve been busy building other things. The engine in now in its final resting place. I have most of the wires labeled and ready to start splicing. I did some research and found out that 3RZ flywheel bolts will fit. So I ordered 8 from the dealer and picked them up today. I should get a chance this weekend to get the flywheel installed. I will be ordering my 17" fan on the 1st. I had planned to have this finished by my last birthday but that didn’t happen so I am pushing for this go round. I still need to order an aftermarket 5VZE clutch. I am hoping to at least start the engine in the next few weeks so stay tuned. Here are some pictures of the bolts and what I've been busing building.

nice build
did the adapter plate mount require you to extend or change the shaft length?
What adapter plate did you use? I was going to have one built locally from one of the online cad files...what do you think?
I am collecting parts and knowledge to do this same swap, r150...
Have you addressed the ECM transmission issue yet?

My adapter came from New Zealand. Its the same as the CAD files found on other sites. The 1UZ bell housing is 1/4" shorter then the R-150 bell. The adater is 1/4" thick. The shaft does not need modification. You can use a 3RZ throwout bearing. I would recommend spending the coin and getting a good flywheel. I am currentley wiring my engine so I dont know the answer to the ECU question. From all the research I've done you dont have to do anything but that depends on the year 1UZ you have. To get the engine started I found this:

EB2 connector is a 3 pin connector and is near the igniter
EB1 connector is a 6 pin connector and is near the igniter
IJ2 connector is 17 pin connector near the ECU is dark gray, has 2 rows of pins.

You need switched power to EB2(2). This is a black and orange wire.
You need switched power to EB2(3). This is a black and red wire
You need switched power to IJ2(11). This is a black and orange wire.

You need constant power to EB1(4). This is a black and yellow wire


To start you need to supply "start" power to EB2(1) which is a black wire.

And of course you need to figure out what it takes to turn your fuel pump on. Different on every vehicle.

Thanks for the info

What hydraulic clucth did you use? I'm guessing since you are using the a/t bellhousing you are using the fancy hydraulic(no fork style). Did it require a special mount to fab?
If you have it in pics already, i can't see them cuz me job blocks photo's.

Thanks

toy4whatever

I am fabbing up the stock hydraulic clutch system.

toy4whatever

I got the flywheel installed, fuel line fabbed and wired the engine enough to turn it over. I still need to finish up the wiring and get the engine buttoned up so I can start it.

RMA

whos shifter assembly is that .. you make it

toy4whatever

Thats my design. I made it last year.

Just picked up a Hayden 3817 fan. Its a 17" fan that is 2.6" thick. Comes with multipe mounting hardware.

RMA

looks good man .. wheres the write up on it or is there no write because you plan on selling them.

toy4whatever

I have about 1/4" between the fan and the a/c compressor.
