My 1UZFE build

[mattressking]

@447xpro Any new updates on your 1UZ build? The ECU discussion and how to get proper engine management without the auto trans is what I am interested in. Thanks for any insight you can share.

I don’t have much to provide currently but look up guys converting ucf10 LS400s to manual. They use the auto ecu and usually use a z33 trans or r154 i believe with an adapter. I believe it is just jumping some pins to bypass the interlock.

You can buy bellhousings specifically made for W5x and R15x series transmissions to mate to UZ engines. That's what I'm doing on my swaps.
If I recall, it is not as hard to trick the OBD1 ECMs as it is OB2. Auto is only ECM since 1UZ never came with manual anywhere.

What motor mount are you using?

Any updates on this tread? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not sure what your plan is but you can buy a complete 1UZ->H55 adapter with clutch and flywheel out of SA, they also sell the ECU if you need it. PM me if you want details, awesome swap

Do you still have the details about how to get this setup?

I'm doing a 2UZ-FE + H42 (with future plans of H55) in my 40. I got a bellhousing from Dellow. Don't know what I am doing for clutch and flywheel yet.

@Ryno5150 I was planning on using this approach if you haven't seen...

1uz mated to 4 speed.

..but I will PM tucker to compare as i haven't bought anything but the engine so far.

Did this thread die? I'm trying my best to come up with a "road map" to put together a V8/5-speed/split case in my FJ55 and FJ62 and FZJ80

Did you ever finish the 1UZ/ H55F swap?

 

[Gearhead]

I completed my 71 FJ40, 2006 2UZ vvti, H55f swap

Did you use the Dellow bellhousing?

 

[YukonCruisers]

Mine is fairly advanced as well, but as yet untested - on the pig page - I used the r150f 4runner 5 speed

Did you use the Dellow bellhousing?

No, I bought the bell and 300mm clutch assembly from Cruiser Parts for the non-USA 2UZ manual transmission. I had 1 inch milled off the trans end of the bell and then had a 1 inch plate welded back on. Then cut, drilled and tapped for the H55f. The H55f uses the long 3B fine spline input shaft. So far it works great with no problems at all!
