uk guy

Hi - and greetings from England !

I have been offered a Right hand drive ( the correct side for a steering wheel ;-) ) RZN185 chassis with a 3RZFE engine and auto transmittion BUT the chassis does not have an ECU or instrument cluster. The chassis is otherwse pretty complete with wiring loom / tank / wheels / tyres alternator etc etc.

I have a couple of options to get this usable for my project

1) I can convert the engine to have a normal distributor and change it to a carb. Is it easy to find a distributor for the 3RZFE ? In the UK i cant find any parts for this engine. What other vehicle used this engine ? just the 4 runner in the UK i think ? ( we dont have the Tacoma etc )

2) The other option is to try and find an ECU and other bits ? What "bits" do i need to get it all to work ? Is there an ECU for the injectors and an ECU for the spark ? Does anyone know the part numbers ? does anyone have a wiring diagram / schematic? does anyone know where i can get these for a good price ? ( i am going to have to buy in the US and post to the UK )

My next problem is the gearbox ! There are some connections on the gearbox but no wiring loom connections. Where do these go ? is there a schematic out there ? is there an ECU for the gearbox. Could i just use the gearbox and shift gear like a stick shift ?

If anyone is interested i am planning on putting the chassis under by 1959 Bedford Ca camper van - should make the old girl move !

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Regards

Simon

its not the correct way, you guys still drive on the wrong side of the road... here in the US, we drive on the RIGHT side
