its finally alive!!!!



you gotta click the pic!

whooo!

 

Nice!!! Sounds like a quick rever

 

its actually revving slow cause i havent hooked up the 02s and had vaccume lines and all that!

 

I just swapped valve bodys yesterday cause the lexus trans has 4 cylinoides and runner has only 3. I thought I had sensor problems on the motor cause it was running rough and reving slow and had a friend that's done the swaps walk me through what voltages should be over the phone.. everything checked out good, he said to start it with pulling one wire at a time to see if one doesn't change how it runs.. well all of the pass side ones made it run worst so i Started it with the drivers cover off and the drivers coil wire was sparking on the motor like CRAZY! Threw a diff wire off my spare 1uz and I can't even believe how amazing it runs.. revs fast and idles smooooth. I have a new video but the sound quality sucks.. as soon as I don't have customers cars in my shop I'm gonna go crazy on it and finish it.. I miss it like crazy., more updates soon.

 

CLICK TO WATCH!!

 

Dude this is a such a fun build to read through.

How do the leafs ride compared to stock on the street?

 

DAYUMMMMMM, sounds sick, man! Congratz!

 

OH< btw, .... I'll drop mine off this weekend? hahaahaha.

 

On the street.. pretty decent. Not as smooth as stock but comparable to torsion bar ifs..

Bring it on man! I gotta 1uz waiting!

 

Just got my floor welded and t-case shifter boots done all I have left to be done is a pusher fan, sc400 oil pan and to figure out what wires I need to do to get this damn auto trans wired. ! So close!

 

1uz motor swap is a success! Wheels like a champ, sounds amazing, drives great, amazingly smooth and turns even more heads now!

 

Can you shoot a pic of the engine bay? Did you not have room for a puller fan?

 

Any more updates? How can you not love a V8. Sounds great.

 

Wish I could get my hands on a nice 3rd gen! Right now I'm rockin a stock 04 Taco.. 2WD 4cyl... I can't even like go in the sand

 

So, I have wheeled it more, drove it, took it to a show, everyone loves it INCLUDING me! I have wheelin vids and pics!
