Drove the surf on the weekend and htought how much better itd be if i just bit the bullet and 1UZ it lol

Doooo eeeet! Although it is defo not cheap by any means. Buying the engine is pretty cheap but all the rest of the mucking around adds up quite fast.

Got a mate that wired up his 1UZ into his hiace and will do for me with factory ecu and lexus box, Mounts can be bought off trademe, then all the little gay s*** but more than capable of doing the majority if not all of it at home myself so wouldnt be 2 bad. His one cost him $4k doing majority himself.

Heaps more expensive if you pay a shop and run a link though

Yea I worked it out to be about $5-5.5k to do the conversion myself with a w55-w59 G/B + bell housing adapter etc. So your about right if your planning to use the Auto, which won't be as much fun

And yea worked out about 3.5k on if you went Link G4 + tuning costs. And about 5k in labour if you paid someone to do it all for you.

In the end it just worked out cheaper to buy one with all the hard work etc done.

Had one of the vans make a funny noise yesterday running on the MT and then was rattling like it was the end of the world thought the worst (blown head gasket/run bearing)...

After some thought and some checks this morn,good oil level/pressure,no bubbles in coolant,starts and runs well just really rattly, thought I wonder if the timing is right, so removed timing belt cover( 10 minute job, 6 bolts and then some wiggling of cover) I found that it is one tooth out, scratching head thinking how the F did that happen the timing belt/idler/adjuster has done about 10k k/m so should be mint,then.............................

I seen this

somethings been thru the belt ??

have no idea what

[Daaliso]
