Are you running it as a full standalone or in parallel with the stock ecu? I have a map ecu for mine but I am considering running my other megasquirt 3 instead.

Everything on engine is controlled by maxxecu bit stock sensors and gauges are still on oem ecu.
Engine light on maxxecu
Ok cool, that is what I was leaning towards doing as well. I prefer the megasquirt tuning method to how the mapecu does it.

I'm not a machinist so hopefully that all makes since haha.
My only concern at this point is my engine is 9.6:1 comp and all pistons I could find for stock specs are 10:1 like newer LC models. I would prefer the 9.6 but mine may now be 10:1. No one knows if the change was in the heads or the pistons. If was slight head change I'll still be 9.6 if it was a slight piston change then I'll be 10:1. Not huge but still a change.

To late now and will be fine either way but still an unknown I guess.
Seems Piston change in shape, increased compression. With Valve length the same, and believe only the VVT is a true interference engine. Would also indicate piston dome higher. No mention of change to heads' combustion chamber or length of rods..

So I suppose it depends on if your new pistons, if they match stock dome.

I dug-up, valve length spec, which are the same in VVT and non. Also history of 2UZ. Which happens to be 2005 Tundra VVT, USA made engine. Which was the Million mile 2UZ.

Valve length the same. Compress increased to 10.0:1 from 9.6:1, Piston shape change, Piston According to the compression ratio change, the piston shape is changed.

Thanks for the info! Guess I know have 10:1. I went with stock CR listed as 10:1 Manley pistons.

Will see how that works at 15-16 psi

WOW, nice test of your new rods.
 
New supercharger ordered. ETA February for next phase of boost. 20 psi?

Goal : 500whp daily driver that looks, sounds and feels like stock until you need the power :).

Then import it back to US in July 24 and likely sell it to buy a truck. Sucks but need a truck in US.

Will keep everyone who is still following posted lots of perfmance parts going in from vendors like Elate Mfg.

New Crank damper from ATI/ XAT

Is the damper stock od?

Tundra motor swap?

Sean

Motor is 2uz that came in the Land Cruiser. Heads are stock. Rods and pistons upgraded during rebuild.

Damper in pic is stock OD. I need an Overdrive to match what I use currently to try and make 500whp. Currently at 420whp.

I would keep stock damper in place but needed the ability to get a little more rpm out of supercharger. UZ engines have crazy small crank pulley and it makes spinning 1900 Supercharger to get anything over 10 psi. With new supercharger I will try to go 16-18 psi

Currently i have an ASP custom overdrive pulley but it's just a welded pieced together stock damper and shop I am using for engine won't warranty the engine with welded together damper.

Switched to ATI super damper and Elate mfg will machine a pulley for me to match Overdrive size.

Sorry for the long explanation. Hopefully it makes since.
Stock 5.5"
ASP is 5.9" but welded together stock damper
ATI is 5.6" but bolted on to race certified damper
ATI will be 5.9" with a bolted on custom Elate pulley

It does, I am running the stock rr pulley and an asp underdrive crank. We will see if it works. Math wise it sounds like it will for what I need.

Edit: you said you needed a truck, I was suggesting putting it in a gen1 Tundra so you could keep the motor and get a truck.

Will probably go with f250. Have an offshore boat and may go to little bigger boat so will need heavier truck.

Someone is going to get an offroad monster LC from me haha. Right now it's just a bad ass daily mall crawler . Was going to do suspension and tires once back in US. Everything underneath is basically new OEM. Has stock rear locker, tjm front locker, manual trans, part time kit, etc. Hasn't been offroad since I started on performance mods. I did consider it but no way I can hack it up even if I sell for half what's in it (Alot $$). haha


Let me know how the ASP works for you. It has been great for me as an Overdrive pulley. Worth a few extra psi using TRD SC and then Harrop 1.9. Just need to upgrade for engine builder to be happy after balancing crank etc. They don't want a welded pulley on it and asked I buy an ATI damper or keep stock.
