From my reading it also came behind the 95-newer 80 series which will be much easier to find. I know the bellhousing will swap over, but what about the TQ?

[Makelo]

Hey, any pics of this beast? defenately provide some engine shots with the final product. Oh pretty please?

[SuperRunner]

yeah I took some, but I need to pull them off the camera.

BTW, the cruiser is now getting a nice 5 speed auto transmission. This will be a SUPER NICE addition. The A750F or whatever it is.

That also means that my adapter is up for sale. So if anyone wants to bolt up a 1UZ or 2UZ to your stock A440 or A442, have I got something for you

The A750F has a sweet 1st gear 3.50 and both 4 and 5 are overdrive. Let me know if you need some measurements?

Just FYI, the A750F doesn't have a conventional dipstick...

There's a check plug on the bottom of the pan. A 5mm allen head does the trick.

'03 had a dipstick

Got the cruiser up and running again, but this time with a nice 5 speed auto.

Was really nice how everything bolted up. Of course it bolts right up to the motor with no adapter, but what amazed me is that my custom crossmember worked on this transmission as well. The tailhousing on the transmission is in the same spot on the old trans, and the rubber mount even bolted up. With the old transmission With the old A440F, I had to move the transfer shifter forward 4 inches so I had to cut a hole in the tunnel. With the A750, the transfer shifter sits back further and is now in STOCK position even though everthing is still moved forward 4 inches. I did have to modify the shifter lenths, and move the trans shifter to the drivers side of the tunnel though.

the stock A440F transfer case bolted right up to the A750 transmission and since the crossmeber was in the same spot I didn't even have to modify my drivelines again.


Driving exerience:

I don't think the ECU liked the fact that it wasn't getting signals from the solenoids because now it is happy as a clam. The most throttle I got previously was 85%, and now I get 99%. Combine that with the lower 1st gear of the A750 and the 5 forward gears this thing HAULS BUT!!! Getting on the highway going uphill I was doing 80mph by the time I needed to merge.

It did cost me a bit more to go with this, but it is much better this way and much more enjoyable to drive.

0-60 is around 8.5 seconds, although it might be quicker because I am noticing the ECU is holding back the throttle just a little bit on launch making the 0-20 rather slow, and this is at 4500ft elevation. I am sure at sea level this would drop down into the 7's.

Now all you need to do is add a "Lefty"
Inchworm Gear - Toyota Rockcrawling Equipment

[SuperRunner]

except then it will be centered rear driveline

[phishtaco]

Always minor details...Nice work btw

[Tapage]

did you take pics of the combo with the A750 .. now the 2UZ it's also getting information from the auto tranny . .?

[SuperRunner]

This ECU cam factory with the 5speed auto, so it gets all the info it needs.

The ECU also receives a separate input for speed from the instrument cluster so it knows how fast the vehicle is going(which happens to be the correct and accurate signal).

The t-case is controlled by a separate ecu in the 2005 vehicle and other than maybe the diff-lock and low range signals to the engine ECU, they share nothing.

I will take pics tomorrow and even better, some VIDEO!!!

How much did this whole project cost you? I'm so interested!

Also, how much are you selling that adapter for?

[lenross1]

subscribed

[SuperRunner]

I have not added up the costs yet, but I am into it a little more than originally planned due to the trans going out on me.

I will sell the adapter(all 3 pieces and hardware for $400. I paid $750 for it.

Still waiting on getting video, I ran out of time last weekend working on someone elses vehicle.

[e9999]

I am astonished that somebody managed to pull this off in what seems outwardly a fairly smooth process. Seems like a major piece of work to me, especially with the ECU shenanigans and all.... You are a whiz!
Kudos!

[SuperRunner]

I will have to say this was the most difficult wiring job I have taken on. The ECU is very keen on self diags and putting itself into a limp mode, which unlike manual throttle, may only effect gas mileage, on the drive-by-wire, it effects everything.

I need to work on the EVAP system tonight as I am still getting a code for that. As soon as I get this taken care of it will pass emissions and the rig goes up for sale.

[SuperRunner]

All right, the moment you have been waiting for

Also it just passed safety and emissions. Emissions were done at the Bureau of Air Quality(due to the fact there is now EGR valve on this motor). They passed it and said everything about the conversion was tip top, so this would more than likely pass in California as well since California does in fact allow for engine conversions.

Wow...I'm speechless. Very nice conversion. Makes me which I still had my 3FE powered 80 to do the swap.

[d0ubledown]

wow...thats a great install...looks factory. nice job...and it sounds fantastic!

[pman]

NOW THAT IS A F****ING 80!!!

Im very jealous if you can't tell

Very Nice swap....I wish toyota still built the 80.....or atleast sold it here longer than they did.

[jeepocabra]

Just what an 80 needed. A "factory" V8.

[onewhippedpuppy]

Very impressive. What would you say your total investment was for the swap?

How complicated was the wiring ? is everything working like the tach, speedo, all gauges?

[Elbert]

nice... is every thing functional now... 4 wheel drive, a/c, guages...?

[SuperRunner]

A/C not working yet, I have to make some custom lines.

Tach does not work yet, I have not looked into it yet.

Temp guage does not work, I have to add a sensor in the front water pipe. This motor uses a single sensor and the ECU sends out a digital or PWM signal.

Everything else works, but I do not have the front driveline on. When I measured the lengths, I did not have a final position yet and the front is about 2" too short and front is 2" too long. Rather than get them fixed, I will be adding a lift and re-legthen the rear.

I will total up prices a little later.

Wiring was pretty difficult, but once I figured out what needed to be hooked up, it was just time consuming to solder everything and keeping it modular. I did not cut into either factory harnesses at all. I pretty much made a fields harness that connects the two together. This makes troubleshooting a little eaiser if there were to be a problem.

[dnp]

I'm in awe. I'd be ecstatic to just have carbureted SBC in mine, and I haven't even gotten up the courage to tackle THAT job.......much less a factory fuel injected, drive-by-wire 2UZ AND a Toyota 5-speed automatic...........again, I'm in awe!

If you would be willing to come up with a "kit" for this retrofit (with detailed instructions), I'd bet you could make enough money to make it worth your while.....there are enough of us who love our vastly underpowered 80s to believe that many of us would attempt something like this with enough parts availability and guidance.

Just a thought..........

[abclin]

very impressive !!!!, any preliminary mpg readings. from the videos sounds like you are running minus a muffler. more details

[SuperRunner]

Thanks guys. Lot of long hours went into this. I stopped keeping track after about 150.

Full muffler. 2 1/2" mandrel bent with dual flowmasters and an x-pipe. It is actually pretty quiet when you are just cruising at light throttle. You don't need to get on it very much at all to get up to speed.

MPG, I dunno yet, I am having a hard time staying out of the gas. I will try to be nice to it next week and get a good 50/50 city/highway reading.


Kit, yeah, maybe. R&D would really take some time. I like doing on-offs, prototype stuff and then never do another one again, so you most likely won 't see much of a kit coming from me.

If there were a kit, it would pretty much be

custom crossmember
custom engine mounts
wiring adapter
could modified shift linkages
modified exhaust manifold

The wiring adapter would be the most difficult thing, but that would be for the drive-by-wire. non-vvti would be MUCH simpler.
