1UZ into MA61 Supra

[dallamar]

Hi guys

I am putting a 1UZ into my 84 supra and wondering if anyone has any tips? I am mainly concerned with wiring and engine mounts.....all the rest should be easy.....any help would be greatly appreciated

Speak to CrUZida on these forums, he should be able to sort you out with mounts. Noting you are in Perth, we might be able to help you out with some wiring too

[CrUZida]

I be the man you be looking for.

I am in the process of getting 10 sets of UZ into xA61 mounts made up.
Should hopefully have them ready in a month or so.
If you are desperate and want the motor in before that, well, I'm afraid you are on your own.

What motor do you have, or are you planning to get.
Each car has a different loom, and therefore needs a different wiring diagram.
But they are all fairly simple to wire up.
Aftermarket ecu perhaps?

More details about your plans please?
What gearbox you going with?
What exhaust headers you going with?
What are the long distance place?

Thanks for that - I might take you up on the engine mounts cruzida, but wanted to get it done sooner. I am getting my front cut this week so was hoping to find the mounts and get the engine in. I heard that there are some engine mounts that suit from toyota, bu tnot sure which one.

Has anyone tried swapping the crossmember from the soarer? Not sure if this would work.

I have a front cut from a soarer, but unure which one - all i know at this stage is its a 1uzse. Will let you know more when the front cut arrives.

As for wiring......any diagrams would help or what do I need to give you guys to find the right wiring diagrams.

[CrUZida]

Nothing Toyota will help with mounts.
No crossmembers will swap in.

Soarer cuts have the wrong sump, and a 3 pronged output shaft on the auto.
So both those will need addressing (unless you want an uber custom tailshaft)
Soarer ecu's are the easiest to wire up though.

[dallamar]

what ya mean about 3 prong tailshft - isn't it a pinion like normal or something? Was thinking of going manual, would this be any easier?

[CrUZida]

All the V8 auto boxes except the UZS131 crown have a 3 pronged setup for the output of the autobox. The tailshaft bolts to this. They do not have a standard slipyoke setup.

Manual is easier, but budget $2k for a W5x setup (including box) or 2.5k for an R154 setup.

[dallamar]

I have a W58 from my old engine, but bellhousing and flywheel are hard to find and expensive. Any ideas - tried rod shop and dellows. Dellows looks better, but more pricey. Any other ideas on the flywheel? I was told that the 2JZ flywheel bolts on - is this true?

[CrUZida]

Dellow does not look better. CRS is better quality. Still shit compared to a factory cast one, but better than Dellow (bellhousing wise)

Use QCA for a flywheel, sign up to lextreme.com forums, and PM him there.
I doubt you will get a better flywheel.

Then just order a 1900lb Luk clutch from Brake Bonders or Clutch & Brake Australia in Malaga. (unless you want to go turbo or something).

Bellhousing is about $400 (last check)
Flywheel is about $450
Clutch will cost about $400

[dallamar]

cool - haven't heard of QCA, but will give them a go. But the CRS one has the clutch on the wrong side - passengers side.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Isn't your clutch already on the passenger side?

[CrUZida]

MA61 clutch is stock passenger side.
RA6x I believe is stock drivers side.

[dallamar]

unfortunately it is - this has had a conversion before. Had a chev V6 in it before until 7k destroyed the heads in grand fasion. So hopefully its not hard to convert over. Thats why I was saying that the Dellows one seemed better as it had either side available.

[CrUZida]

Just grab a hard line from an RA6x or MA61 and it will be on the passengers side again.

I guess you bought that Supra off Rob?

[dallamar]

why is it that everyone knows rob......and yes I did - I got all 3 that he had - offloaded one and my mate has nearly finished a 7MGTE conversion in his one. It looks a fair bit different now though - all resprayed.

Does everyone have the same opinion of Rob though??
