MS123 Conversion Poll, 1UZ-FE or 2JZ-GE?

[MS-75]

MV Automatics here in Adelaide do them. 08 8370 0430 ($300-$400 or so I think)

Southo also had one done in NSW, which he reported as being good, but I can't recall the name at the moment.

Also, get in touch with Chris Davey as he has some info on doing a form of shift kitting at home for very few $$$.

Apparently the problem with shift kitting 1UZ trans is the 1st/2nd shift, which is hard to control (this is very 2nd hand info) Supposedly it's hard to give the driver control over this shift for some reason...

what you're probly talking about is the delay of shift in which you hit the rev limiter before gearchange, which isn't cool.

so the kit comes with what? is it a tiptronic style thing?

anybody got any tips on tweaks for the 1uz? i was just thinking about enlarging the standard plenum in a hope for a couple more hp, i haven't really looked at the plenum setup much(inside i mean).

Is this really the thread for asking???

Do a search, then start a specific thread.

Yeah, so when are you coming back.... just to continue the theme.

MS-75: you really are becoming the Crown king of Adelaide arnt you?

Whilst unintentional, I do seem to be giving it a re-hot go........

Who cares about the engine - can you get lambswool seat and steering wheel covers engineered in the new crown?

BTW I saw a blue MS85 era-ish crown custom wagon the other day at Torrens Island. It looked fairly neat, and the back wagon area was farking huge!

i thought 1983 was an ms112??? 1979-1983 :? I've got an 1981 ms112 and would also like to put a 1uz/2jz in it eventually. Funnily enough i want it as my tow car. It has a 5me atm, which is shortly going to be replaced by a ma70 supra 7mge. I figure the 7m's a lot more capable of towing a car than a 5m.

edit: please keep me informed on the conversion...make my life a little easier

On that note does anyone know if theres any hassles putting a 7mge into an ms112 bar the obvious power steer lines??

[Wildsupra]

i have just installed the 1uz in my MS123 crown, so i say go the 1uz

Sounds awesome, so unique compared to my supra etc.

I finally got the 1uz in my Crown wagon fired up last weekend. I am running a single exhaust and it still sounds great. So to add to the list pit a 1uz in it.

[Enchanter]

I said 2jz + ecu thinking its the best choice for a manual performer (as the 1uz only has auto afaik) but then read that you wanted an auto so now I vote 1uz + factory ecu.

uzs131 halfcut for the win! Same engine package for my ra28!

I think i might have some dismantling pics...

[RObErT_RaTh]

Go V8 powah!

[Cplus]

have you moved on this one yet Seano?

[MS-75]

Nay. I stayed away from cars over winter, and for the last few weeks have been engrossed in sorting the coupe. At present 1 project is more than sufficient.

If I do anything in the near future, it'll probably be buying something already done.
