just joined the 1uz club

holyshit... rich is on here now?.... were fucked.

and just a simple question, why on the bottom of the transmission?
that seems like the LAST place to put those bulkhead fittings...

 

[4U2QUIK]

Mostly because of the length of the lines on the inside, plus it's pretty well shielded, but... I was thinking about moving it for other reasons.


did that make any sense?

 

[DaftInnovations]

told you to thread them coming out of the side where the master is.. BRO. Was thinking about do a 1uz in the Cressida after I done with it but now.. not sure seems like to much of a hassle considering the only one I can get at importer is the 97 or newer ls400.. you said its not as strong. I will need to do some research. Just reading through some thread I think I will just stick to my ls1

I found some adapter plates for a sr20det 5 speed lol and a r154

[4U2QUIK]

too bad the r154 adaptor is just another ed oates knockoff.

 

[DaftInnovations]

wow another weird name.. ed oates ? wow like al dente ahahha wtf

 

[DaftInnovations]

let me know if you need me to finish your swap.. even a xmas party has side tracked you son.

 

[4U2QUIK]

well, turns out the spacer was almost right on size. It was the pilot bearing not being seated all the way back.
If I get the holes in the fixture for the tranny mount I'll probably be able to be ready to wire it up by next weekend or sooner. I want to have this running by new years...

 

[iMike_G.]

Brandon how is the swap coming!!

 

[4U2QUIK]

going good. I got everything bolted up on the engine, and I'll be doing the final install this weekend with luck.

just had an idea abount the brake booster issue. how about modifying the valve cover...
I'm going to have to look at some photos from before I removed the booster. But from what I remember it may be cheaper to do this if it's feasable.

I built my old V8 Z car boosterless way back, just meant a lot of math to get the leverage/mastercylinder ratio correct but worked fine, another alternative is a pair of small remote boosters, I did this on another heavier car I built, VH40 for the fronts and a VH44 for the rears.

 

[ihiryu]

hmm sounds interesting, any pictures of this remote mount setup?

 

[4U2QUIK]

sounds expensive.... but interesting because it could be a good solution for my truck.

 

[IJ.]

Vacc in, Brake fluid in/out done.

this is a VH40, the 44's are smaller diameter.

40's here new retail for $439AUD and the 44's go for $399, trade prices will be much less.

 

[4U2QUIK]

in comparison to a 89+ toyota truck booster for 150$ it's definately out of the question. But I think it's definately the solution for my dodge a-100 forward controll truck.

 

[IJ.]

Yep if the truck booster will fit and give the pedal feel required you'd be nuts to go for anything else.

 

[4U2QUIK]

yep, I'm going to have to post pixs of the truck in the non supra section sometime.

 

[4U2QUIK]

sooo... now that the holidays are over I can start making some serious headway. I got a lot of little things figured out and I'll be posting it up sometime soon. It's very close to startup time.

 

[iMike_G.]

hmm let me kno when your gunna start it up and ill try to take a trip out there!!!

 

[4U2QUIK]

a little photo update...... I'm too tired right now to go into details...

till tomarrow y'alls
