1uz into v6 4runner.

Wish I had such a shed %)

spoke to advan today link g4 storm $1600 with loom, wide band o2 $150 for closed loop control.
this is cheaper than the adaptronic.

there is a mobile guy in newcastle that is the authorised motec fitter/tuner on motec,s site,
maybe he,d set up for me, probably know where to find all neccesary hook up points.

would be happy to get vvti in and running, rebuild with lextreme rods and little boost later on,especially if ecu ready for mods.

rods are around $600 nz from lextreme.

thanks for advise everyone, know what ecu to buy now. vvti all the way.

[dumbass]

cool go for the link
use to do afew links for advan when i was down that way
ring motec guy and get a rought price as they r normally twice the price as average auto elect
as most guys who fit motec do a blody perfect job so u have to pay for it but
like most things in life u get what u pay for

Where is this pre-'92 info coming from? All indications so far are that 1995 was the start of the internal changes, which makes sense as thats when the CR was first bumped up

There is even info around from Toyota itself regarding lightening of the internals around this time

[TTV8RA23]

92 to 95 had slightly smaller rods than pre 92 then 95/96 had even smaller again, same size as VVTI 1uz. I saw comparison photos and read info on it about 6 or so years ago on Lextreme. And your right was to lighten the internals and make them freer reving apparently.

[mullett]

the link software is pretty user friendly
ive played with adaptronic software and u needed a degree to work it out
nothing is in its usual position fking annoying unles su spend 3 years tunign cars every day heheheh

I do beg to differ, I find the Adaptronic software clear, well laid out and extremely thorough. Their support from head office is awesome too! AFAIK the 'select' ECU ($990) will run VVTi including COP and PWM outputs for VVT. Only downside is that it doesn't auto-tune, but does still have closed loop support as a factory ECU does.

If you can get it running on OEM ECU (shouldn't be hard if you get a 1/2 cut), you'll benefit in drivability and reliability...the factory spends far longer tuning them than i'd ever want to spend tuning my car!

[dumbass]

well laid out hahahahah
anyway i guess its what u get used to
unless something has changed in past 6 months most tuners i know have different opinion

[blurunner]

spoke to the authorised motec fitting agent tonight. said he,d easily set up a autronic or motec . saying g4 only has 4 inj output and very
time consuming later on, not as accurate as others i.e hard to pass test. $1000 seems like very good setup price at your home.

also able to wire in original ecu if possible.
starts to get a bit deeper now that laws have changed.

all nsw rta engineers lost thier accreditation in dec2011 ,meaning only a few are on the revised list.

he has set up auronic and motec on 1uz vvti to pass smog tests in the past.

have to speak to engineer at tamworth on requirements for passing . lincoln from motec has had customers with all good things to say.

guy in melb has 5 more engines arriving next week vvti and non. hope one with low k,s and all it,s covers is in there.

[TTV8RA23]

Yep only four injector drivers but can pair up the injectors and its fine. If you want sequential injection you can go Link G4 Extreme. But yeah either or really. We just like the price and user friendly ness of Link.

1000 bucks to make a while new loom is a great deal
take it
ask him does he get all dash and 4wd working properly included in the 1000 bucks

[George]

1000 bucks to make a while new loom is a great deal
damn looks like I live in some wrong place :-)

[dumbass]

y is it too expensive
to get everythign to work including speedo and tacho and all gauges and 4wd etc etc and to make a really neat loom and maybe atleast get engine running with a basic tune on the link or vipec ecu i would not even go look at the car unless i charged them over 1500

[George]

No it's very reasonable to my mind. I mean I usually do the same as a hobby for ~1/4th the price, spend a weekend per car, now it turns out that somewhere in the world this kinda activity may bring you some 3-4 grand per month, which is quite unbelievable

[Sciflyer]

92 to 95 had slightly smaller rods than pre 92 then 95/96 had even smaller again, same size as VVTI 1uz. I saw comparison photos and read info on it about 6 or so years ago on Lextreme. And your right was to lighten the internals and make them freer reving apparently.

I read Lextreme as well, the only info i remember reading was that rods were identical up to 1994 as per this pic



If there is some proof that earlier rods were different id like to see it as i have a 1994 engine that may have a blower shoved on it at some point...

Rubbish VVTI 1uz are bugger all harder to setup. If your auto sparky has any brain then will not find it hard at all. A couple extra wires for VVTI solenoid and COP is basically only difference and shit loads of motors are COP these days so anyone worth there salt shouldnt have a problem. My little bro is and industrial electrician apprentice and he wired one of these up with LINK G4 Storm for his first ever automotive wiring job and it went first pop. VVTI1UZ is a miles better motor if you want to stay NA but dont go putting more than about 7psi boost into it on factory conrods, unlike earlier models. LINK ecus are a bloody good option. Any one with a bit of electrical nouse can wire one up. They come with very extensive instructions and easy to find info on. Just read the instruction book 5 times and anyone with a bit of experience can do it.

The wiring might be straight forward, but there's a lot more tuning to be done on a VVTi engine if you're using aftermarket engine management.

Maximum conrod load is inertial, so unless you're also increasing the engine redline or using heavier pistons, supercharging shouldn't stress the conrods.
