Builds Project - EffjJay Eighty - 2UZ powered

[toojayzee]

LS400 is a front sump
SC400 is a mid sump.
I don't remember which one I used, but 92-98 for either. I did have to modify the pan a little to fit, and a hard hit could still possibly hit it

Are any of you guys aware if there any rear sump UZ pans that your that arent rare like the marine pans are ? I think I may just mod mine.

I will still get you that cruise setup later, I haven't forgot

Dude, I know you have alot of irons in the fire. We all apreciate the feedback. So whenever you get to it is great.

Im going to throw this out there right now. For those of you listening. Rob is a really stand up guy. For a few reasons.
He's always quick to jump in and give advice on projects like this. Take time with people to help out.

And to top it off, im not sure if Rob remembers... I bought those injectors for my 2J from you on supraforums. They would have worked fine, but im super anal and I didnt want to use them on my project.
He took them back no questions asked and I really appreciate that.
Rob,I dont know if you realized I was that guy.

I used a LC pan and have plenty of clearance.

 

[SuperRunner]

can you post a pic of the LC pan? Makes sense though since the LC still uses the right hand drop on the transfer case.

 

[Waggoner5]

Here you go.

 

[toojayzee]

Here you go.

It may just be the photo but it looks like you would have ton of room regardless of what pan configuration. My pan has about 1/4 of clearance between the front lip and the top of the bar that stabilizes the pan hard bracket.

My truck is hanging from a lift so the suspension is at full droop. When the suspension settles, it becomes more apparent why this pan works so well.

GOT THE TACH WORKING !

Thank you Dakota Digital !

SGI-8 FTW !

Congrats!

I created a fuel log this morning. I finally have my first CEL. It says one of my O2's took a dump.

I remember reading posts from you(not about injectors, but just in general), but no I didn't remember that that was you with the injectors. My business reputation is very important to me. I would rather eat a cost than to have someone say something negative or be unsatisfied with a product.

Thanks for the positive feedback though, greatly appreciated.

you and rob have been my inspiration.

I currently have the 2uz ('05 vvti) fitted in the 80. Engine is forward 6". Engine plastic cover just touches the hood insulation. Tundra oil filter housing clears the cross member and filter is 1/16" off the frame rail when removing the filter.....phew, that was close. the vvti headers are a PAIN to modify. I should have taken robs advice and modified aftermarket headers. Thanks for the photo's of the tunnel mod. I did that before the engine even went in, saved me a TON of work.

I vote for the l.c. pan. I used the 92-98 rear sump sc400 pan. fit great, but the front driveshaft poses some obsticles. I had to take out a 4" x 4" section of the pan for it to clear. (lost about a quart of capacity.) and some of the bolt holes had to be drilled out to fit the larger diam. bolts. no big deal though.

I would be very interested to see how your a/c compressor fits. mine is VERY tight against the steering box. in hind sight, i should have shifted the engine over 1/2-1".

cheers, Jason

p.s. thanks again for documenting this. I couldnt have done it without your guys knowledge.

Did you do a build thread or take photos of your swap at all ?

I have photos of the AC compressor in mine. It's tight as a mofo.

Im going to mod the stock oil pan this weekend.

Sounds like a lot more people are doing this swap now. Prices of motors have come way down, and theres more info now.

Im getting a little frustrated with some of the bugs, but overall its still a great rig.

 

[jason89i]

no photos yet. will put a build thread when done....and get some photos. found a 40th with a blown engine at a dealer. paid way too much for it. certainly not perfect, but it has lockers. its going to be the family vacation hauler. anyways, back on topic.....

did you use the stock cats? where did you run the exhaust? i "think" i have it planned out, but not really sure if its the best route. drivers is down along frame, crossing over after c.diff. passenger is over the frame, through wheel well, down along frame. 2into1 collector, 2-1/2" back in stock location.

cheers, jason

 

[SuperRunner]

I ran generic magnaflow, but the stock ECU doesn't like em. I ran my exhaust outside the frame rail on both sides, then back inside the frame rail just after the t-case into an x-pipe. Then dual mufflers and dual tail pipes, one out each side. All 2 1/2" pipe until after the mufflers, then it is 2" Wish I would have stayed 2 1/2", as I noticed a small power decrease, and it didn't sound as nice.

I ran the stock cats and did exactly what your talking about. Pass side out over the frame rail like the stock FJ setup then over the rail and it merges the with drivers side which I ran on the inside drivers frame rail up over the driveline. Then into the muffler in the stock location and up over the axle.

Im not sure if my O2 isnt liking the muffler im using or if its just dead. I think its the downstream on the pass side.

what code are you getting?

btw, why your MPG so bad? With stock tires I was getting over 17mpg. 32's 15mpg. Could be O2 I guess.

I'll have to go home and pull the code again. I dont remember.

The milage on the first tank I realized was because the speedo wasnt even hooked up for the first half tank.

The milage is probably due in part to the 35's, the bad crab walking alignment from the short panhards, the bad o2 and the fact that ive been pretty heavy with the right foot
On top of that my commute is only 16miles each way but it takes a little over an hour each way in stop and go. I very rarely get over 40 mph. In the rare occasion that I do, its short lived.
EDIT: with a few tweaks I hope to get up to 16

 

[toojayzee]

what code are you getting?

P0155 - Bank 2 sensor 1
From what i've read, a very common problem among the tundras. Toyota even had an extended warrantee for this issue.
This looks like it may be the original sensor too. Who knows. The engine sat around for years. Could just be coincidence or related to the free flow exhaust ?

Also the code P0155 - could be due to

• O2 Heater element resistance is high
• Internal short or open in the heater element
• O2 heater circuit wiring high resistance I extended the harness so that could possibly be the issue ?
• open or short to ground in the wire harness

 

[SuperRunner]

P0155, I would check to make sure you are even getting power and ground to the O2. I small resistance change from wires isn't going to cause that error. It thinks that the O2 sensors isn't even hooked up.
