That is a very clean installation. I’m just waiting on a few engine accessories then I’ll be starting. My plan includes a non-vvti 2uz with an a750f out of a cruiser. I’m still trying to figure out the wiring specifics for that union. I am also using an ecu out of a 2wd v8 4runner because I’m...
All valid points gentlemen.
As it turns out, there is a complete very, very low mile 100 chassis that recently came up for sale local. Has all the goodies, minus the body.
Essentially I wanted to see whether the low mile engine and trans were worth body swapping the 80, as well as the full...
In preparation for the 2uzfe swap into the 80, a brew aided conversation with my soon to be helpers brought up this idea. Would it be possible to take the body off the 80, and mate it with a SAS conversion 100 chassis, with engine, harness, and complete drivetrain intact, just minus the Hundy...
Thanks for the info, I’m still a few months away from beginning the build but it definitely seems I need to look into the immobilizer from the 100 series and how to overcome it.
Thanks again
I agree, and I think I do have most of the answers but I just wanted to see if there was a clear cut consensus on the best donor.
The plan is to pick up an ‘06 Tundra for the vvti and A750F compatibly. Where my real questions are is in regards to the ecu’s, and the best donor to scavenge one...
Digging up this thread for the new decade. I will aim start my 2uzfe/5 speed swap come fall of 2020.
My rig is a 1994, triple locked, ff axle,little tank, with a OME lift and 35's, just to provide some background. From reading this thread for the better part of a year, I think I know the...
My acute (haha) form of ocd won’t let me do it, I wish I could.
It seems like the rotor is engaging the pads for about half a revolution then it spins freely again.
I have checked the bearings and all is good there, I’m really scratching my head on this one, my last guess is the axle flange...
***Update
Swapped the pass side rotors just to test the theory it was the rotor, turns out it’s not a warped rotor as the rotor from the pass side which doesn’t make noise on its side does make the noise on the driver side.
While I was spinning the wheel off the ground I noticed that as the...
Before I embark on the wheel bearing quest, is it possible that the rotor is not completely flat? I bought the rotors at Advance auto as I was working on a more modest budget a few months ago but this time I didn’t think twice that maybe the cheap rotors might be a culprit.
All the fluid levels...
Update**
I just changed all the hoses, bled the system again, and still making the pulsating grinding noise.
I’m now starting believe something else is afoul, namely the wheel bearings. With the wheel up in the air, I am able to spin it and recreate the grinding noise if I spin fast enough...
Thank you both for the replies, I’ll have try that this weekend, but I do not think I was 100% accurate with my description.
I tried driving the truck last night again to make sure I was describing it right and this time the caliper sounded like it was grinding the pad again but it was sounding...
Hi all, I posted this forum a while back and the replies I got were pretty helpful so I figured I would try again .
I have been on a budget quest to drive my mom’s old 94 cruiser across the continent again. However, recently, I noticed my rear driver side disc brake was getting scarred by the...
