Builds 2UZFE swap into FJ80 - building - in progress (2 Viewers)

[SuperRunner]

Here is a video of the running cruiser.

YouTube - Toyota V8 FJ80 Landcruiser

Shorty headers with true dual 2 1/2" mandrel exhaust. Two cats which then lead to an X-pipe then to dual 44 series flowmaster.

No tailpipe yet so it will mellow out a little.

more pics

^ should have tig welded this too, my mig on thin walled tubing SUCKS!!

My tig welds on the x-pipe look much better.

NICE!

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Sounds great!
Any pictures and info on the flex plate adapter?
How thick is the fabbed flex plate that bolts to the V8 flywheel?
How does the exhaust cross the frame rail?

 

[SuperRunner]

Thanks.

1/8" I believe. It is the same thickness of the stock flex.

The adapter ring is 1/2" but next time it would be 3/4" in order to have another 1/4" of clearance between the two flex plates. Getting the flex plate bolts in was a PITA!!!

On the drivers side, it is basically just like a stock system. On the passenger side, it is basically the same thing. I have the cats mounted where the stock cat would have been located, but now I have them on either side. The x-pipe sits where the stock muffler used to sit.

I will take a picture of the entire undercarriage tomorrow.

can you confirm how many ECU signals you need to start it and keep running ?

 

[SuperRunner]

ECU:
+B
IGSW
BATT

IH1 connector:
Power to MAP
Power to injectors
Power to igniter

This is all you need to actually start/run the engine. Only if the ECU does not have an Immobilzer. I specifically ordered a 2005 tundra ECU for that reason.

big thanks dude ... if you have a chance a pic of your conections are big time appreciated .. and then you are using a DBW gas pedal . ? use the factory harness or make your own .. the pedal it's conected to the MAP at the intake or to the ECU .?

100% Cruiser Porn! Nice job. That exhaust sounds like a symphony.

Ok so how much are you asking for this once it's complete? I'm worried I've killed the 1FZ in my '93 and this is looking very interesting. Especially since you're local.

 

[SuperRunner]

I am going to list it for 10K and drive it around until someone offers me 8K. I have really put forth extra effort to really make this one worth while. It will probably have a 2" lift on it and some 33's by then as well.

I made my own harness for the pedal. It goes into the (A) connector on the ECU, pretty easy.

I will take a picture of my rats nest wiring, then again once it is 100% complete.

well, when you're ready to roll with it, let me know and I may need to come down and check it out and maybe take it for a spin.

 

[SuperRunner]

Will do.

Drop by my house, too, will ya? I'm between Syracuse and Orem.

 

[SuperRunner]

drop me a PM if you want to see the work in progress. I will be working on it just about every night this week.

 

[SuperRunner]

Wiring nearing completion. This next picture is not for those with weak stomachs. It is a mess now, but I assure it will clean up nicely.

Oh- and a side trip out to Tooele too- mmmm-k?

 

[Lka1988]

Gonna bring this to the top.

Had the pleasure of seeing this in person last night, and let me tell ya, this thing is awesome! The wiring is not as bad as you guys might think, and the exhaust note... Ohhh baby. The video does it no justice. Firing up a motor with no tailpipes at 1:00 am is really something

Good to meet ya, Rob.

 

[SuperRunner]

Let me add one more. After about an hour of frustration last night I found out that without this one, the gas pedal won't work.

On the ECU(+B ETC). Doesn't make a lot of sense, but it was required.

ECU:
+B
IGSW
BATT

IH1 connector:
Power to MAP
Power to injectors
Power to igniter

This is all you need to actually start/run the engine. Only if the ECU does not have an Immobilzer. I specifically ordered a 2005 tundra ECU for that reason.
