hey toy4whatever what did lc do to the flywheel as i am doing the swap as well and im getting a bellhousing from ks racing. and i dont want to get the clutch from then to as its aroud a grand for all of it and just for the bellhousing its about 440 and i get my clutch parts really cheap from my buddy who works for carquest.

 

I sent them a stock flex plate and spacers from my 1UZ. They took the measurements to locate where the ring gear should be and the bolt pattern. They were doing a production run of the 5VZE flywheels so they made me a custom flywheel. They had to reset the machine to cut in the ring gear and bolt holes. I just called and talked to a tech, I think his name was John, and explained what I needed. As for as the product it looks second to none but I have yet to start me engine to see how the extra weight affects it. I am getting very close though.

 

yeah i was moundering if the flywheels are really that thick have not seen a 5vz flywheel yet. im pullling the engine out of my runner in the next few weeks and as soon as i get the bell housing im gonna start fabing the mounts i cant wait.

 

sub'd. great build man.

 

updates?????

 

I ordered my clutch yesterday and hope to order a Triple X in a few weeks.

 

My clutch came in yesterday. I will be installing it and mounting the slave cylinder this weekend. If I have time I'm going to finish up the wiring.

 

I got the clutch installed but I couldnt put the trans back in. I am using a Tacoma 3.4 clutch but I have to use a 3.0 through out bearing so now I have to order one. Hopefully I can locate one tomorrow local but we'll see. Here are the installed pics of the clutch and the through out bearing difference. I also had a few members asking about my adapter and installing the 1UZ bell housing. Here are some pics to show were I had to notch the bell to clear some of the bolts. Also notice I had to use some hex bolts in a few places.

 

Nice updates.
That flywheel seems really thick.

 

Thats because its a 38lb billet steel flywheel.

 

Oh.
Are you using that for any special reason? Why wouldn't you just use the stock weight? I mean stock 3.0/3.4?

 

This is going to be a crawler so I want the extra weight to keep the engine spun up. Most places that manufacture flywheels either build them lightweight or high torque. There is no way I was going to run a modified stock flywheel. "Modified" meaning enlarging the stock holes to match the 1UZ. I plan on beating the hell out of this thing and I'd really like to keep my legs. I wanted the 3.4 flywheel because the clutch disc is bigger.

 

what are the dimension of the bolts from the bell to the adapter plate.
i misplaced my original ones

 

I want to say they are M10x1.50 but dont quote me on that. I'm not sure of the length.

 

What radiator is that?

 

ok a one more question what did u use to make a hole for the fork?

 

Its a ebay universal chevy radiator. 19" x 22"

I drilled the four corners out and then cut it with a grinder. I also used a hacksaw because the grinder will not get the corners.

 

What is that throughout bearing out of the longer one I might need to get that

 

I would love to that swap in my truck, great job!

 

Hows the truck progress goin
