Hello everyone, it is a pleasure to be here.
My name is Gastón, I am 29 years old and I have a 4runner 1st gen 22re, I will tell you my story.

I have been wanting to mount a 1uzfe for me 4runner for a long time ... But the information in my country is very scarce and I have to search a lot through forums.

I had doubts me kit lista, I tell you:
- 1uzfe vvti.
-R150F gearbox.
- XAT Racing 1UZ to R150 Aisin Transmission Adapter Plate kit (with flywheel and clucth).
- XAT Racing Tweak'd Universal Race Car UZ V8 Full Harness.
-blackmachine oil adapter.
-ATEMU.
-ECU with bypass the immobilizer on VVTi.
-Motor mount by North West Toy.
-Radiator by North West Toy.
-Block Hugger Headers by North West Toy.

I think to start it would be everything, but please tell me if you leave me something.

A big question I have, is it better to buy a whole car? Or just the engine? Can I take advantage of the whole car? Or is it not worth paying more?.

Thank you

 

Bienvenidos al forum Yotatech, Gaston!
The 22R-E is a very good engine. Given the difficulty of getting parts/information for your swap en España, I recommend you simply take good care of your 22R-E. Less trouble, reliable, and it would be easier to find parts and help, including from yours truly.

P.S. Now I ran out of Spanish

Thanks for the welcome.

The truth is that my 4runner is already 483,000 km / 300k miles.

And soon I would have to do an engine rebuild. (I don't know how long it will last).
Every year I went to Africa to competition in small Raids/Rally , so I wanted a very tough, robust engine with many horses power.

I will continue to collect information and when I pass I will tell you how everything is progressing.

I don't see it as difficult. From your blessed land they sell everything necessary to make swap easy.
