Spicy Taco 1uz swap

So I'm starting my swap after year of researching. I got 1uz from sc400 95

 

Tearing it down redoing all seals water pump starter belt

 

Thats better, here is what i found

 

Someone got a little comfy. Hopefully didn’t tear up too much of a mess on the harnesses and such.

 

Yeah that harness was toast but engine connection are good n ground harness. So hopefully I won't have to do to much with the stand alone

 

It was squirrels, there were acorn crumbs everywhere, they weren’t really interested in the harness, what killed the harness was age and heat cycling, connectors were very brittle and most were broken. The harness got replaced with one that integrated the engine to the truck’s electrical system, expensive but to me worth it, photo taken Dec of 2021.

 

Love that starter location. Brilliant idea

 

Like new pistons gonna do others side. Getting cams just not sure from witch company yet

 

It's great until ya gotta pull the intake manifold to change it.

 

That is the only bs I've seen on the 1uz why why would they do this

 

Probably for a smaller footprint. Just remember that automotive manufacturers are in the business of selling new cars. They used to make them to be owned, now they are made to be leased.

 

Yes that is true I remember earlier 2000 when they started pushing leasing.

 

I am talking farther back, but yeah. Look at the build quality of a basic Mercedes from the 80's and they are tanks, will run forever if you change fluids. But things change. These days it's so easy to get a high HP engine for a swap that is very reliable on the cheap. So pros and cons I guess.

 

Oooooh my tcu n ECU came from automotive racing group didn't take long connect and everything look good and numberd

 

Is black tac right

 

I have no idea, you will need the wiring diagrams for a 95 SC400 or volume 1 of the factory service manual for 95 SC400 it will give the pin-outs for the connectors at the ecu. Recommend you go to a web site that strictly deals with 1uz swaps, like on FB there is a site 1UZ Toyota pickup/4 runner swaps lots of good info there, higher likelihood of finding 95 SC400 wiring diagrams and answers for your swap, for example my ecu (93 sc400) has 3 40 pin connectors, yours (95 sc400) has 5 connectors dont know how many pins, so im not any help. Some tribal information: in 95 the 1UZ went to 10.5 to 1 pistons, became interference motor, be on your A game doing the timing belt and use quality parts again the FSM would be good to have as well.
R/

 

I appreciate the very much yeah I was also trying to figure out if it was none interference, so far all I got it might be because the year. So that clears that up

 

Lol I kinda want one of these u guys think it will fit

 

It is TEMU guaranteed

Motor mounts r n hopefully everything got measured n good it lines up good new stand alone is all in wired

Also I was reading some we're I could probably use Tacoma power steering pump any input on that thx
