Nice yotarip. there is sooooo many questions about the wiring for this swap. it seems like the purpose is to keep everyone in the dark. There is no realy nice clear video ans explaination of the 1uzfe wiring for the swap. I think as soon i do it i will spread it all over the net. Yotarip the info you shared for the key is so good. nice move. nice work.
Excellent work man. Your stuff on toytaminis.com gave me the confidence to pursue this path with my 89 pickup that threw the timing chain. I have since acquired a complete 99 GS400 and will be reviewing your efforts again and again while the build goes down. Thanks for the efforts. Now to get that Ford rear end.
I have installed the 1uz from a 2000 GS and I have it to running state but some wiring is off cause it only runs for a few seconds and dies and there is no control of the IACV or Throttle Body. Do you have an Email address or other method of contact, I’d be willing to pay for your help on this. Normally o don’t have electrics issues. It’s normally my specialty. This just isn’t working out well. Lol.
Hi. The throttle will not operate without 12 volts ( 15 amp fused) going to ecu connector E / terminal 7 ( violet/yellow wire). The motor will start and immediately stall if 12 volts are not seen at terminal 4 on the mass airflow sensor and 12 volts at terminal 2 on the O2 sensors.
@@yotarip I hoped for a reply. The ECU is different looking. And is the white plug model. The wires on the back of the pig tail will corispond to the wire colours on the plug going into the ECU? Cheers man.
@@bigtinasoup2927 You should be correct but I really suggest you buy the actual Toyota electrical diagram manual for your year make and model. I buy them used on eBay for about $40. They are worth their weight in gold. The manuals are printed in color also which really helps when tracing the wires. The wire colors in the drawing match the actual harness.
Hey I have everything wired up and the immobilizer bypass is working but I can’t seem to get injector pulse. Any ideas? I have fuel and spark and my engine is in time. I have power to my injectors but it seems the ecu is not grounding them.
Hello. Im doing a 2000 GS400 1uz swap in my 85 celica GTS. I got rid of the car before I could pull this ring out. I completely forgot about the Imobilizer... My question is, can the ecu be programmed to bypass the Imobilizer, or can I salvage the key and amplifier from a different car.
Great video man! 👌🏼👌🏼 For the manual swap did you need to do anything to the harness for the automatic transmission sensors? I’m planning on doing a manual swap on my 2000 gs400 and I don’t know if I need to modify my harness at all.
Rolling With Ruckus I usually just coil that section up and zip tie it to the back of the motor. Sometimes I just cut off the extra transmission wires and tape it up. Never had a problem with hacking off the wires. We actually cut the transmission wires on this truck. If you look at the lower left side of this vid at the 58 second mark, you will see a bag containing a small black box with wires connected. That is a automatic transmission simulator for Toyota’s. I meant to talk about it in the vid. It tricks the ecu into thinking the auto is still attached. Without it, the ecu will throw a code and run the motor in limp mode. In limp mode the ecu cuts the power output by 50 hp/ 50 torque and it will not allow the throttle to fully open at WOT. The simulator is only $105 and can be bought on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/all4swap/. The guy is in Russia but he is legit and I have spent quite a few dollars with him.
Hey man there's a guy here in Tirau New Zealand that wants to charge me 2k to wire up my 88 rwd Hilux to the 1uz vvti he reckons that you need to do something to the loom to stop the traction control from making the engine gutless when you've done a automatic to manual conversion I see you you have a manual box on this one 1uz project just wondering if you have any advice for me thanks
Ray Bent Hello Ray. The traction control is of no concern at all. The motor will run perfectly without wiring up the traction control. However, if you are not running the automatic transmission, you will need a transmission emulator. Without the emulator, the computer will sense a transmission fault and reduce power by 50 horsepower. This guy of Facebook sells the emulator and it works great. I’ve used it on three swaps so far. Here is the link facebook.com/groups/all4swap/?ref=share
Yotarip !!How many mpg’s u get in your 1uz truck none vvti ? Around here in ca It’s cheaper to get those than vvti but after seen this video of course I would love to go this route doesn’t matter if I have to spend another $1500
I get a solid 25 mpg with my non vvti 1uz swap. It also has 5 w58 from a 84 celica and 3.72 rear end. I just installed a 3.07 rear but haven't driven it much since installed. That gear has made 5 gear unnecessary. I can crusie at 70 mph at around 2400 rpm in 5th gear. If you can get a vvti motor for a few hundred more, it's well worth it. Power delivery is so much better and 50 hp advantage makes a huge difference.
Wow that’s better than my stock 2wd Toyota pickup single cab short bed I get 21mpg I agree it would be worth to get vvti I’m assuming it would give u 2-4 mpg more , planning using stock transmission w55 and get a locker on diff ( I’ll do a research see which one diff would work better), I carry appliances and trash once in a while on it hope will give me better gas mileage or as long as get same I’m happy camper !
This truck is using the sc400 manifolds but the LS400 oilpan. The LS400 oilpan made it necessary to push the engine far forward. We recommend the sc400 oilpan to place the engine closer to the firewall for better weight distribution and better radiator clearance.
That's a good point and totally possible. Hell, after wiring up the diagnostic port, one could get a chipped Toyota key programmed to the ecu and then cut to fit the ignition cylinder. Install the antenna ring on the cylinder and make it work/look like factory. I'm just sharing the basics that most anyone can do. Please believe, as I complete my other builds, cressida/3uz, 87 toyota pickup/1uzvvti, 81 corrolla/ 1uzvvti, and 93 MR2/ 3mz vvti, the installs will be more creative.
I referenced the official Lexus factory electrical wiring manual I bought from ebay. They can be bought for $35-$40. I sure there's a Toyota electrical manual for your donor car on ebay also. They are worth their weight in gold if you are doing a swap.
yotarip ok thanks I had a look in are main car and I found out the way it was wired up and now it one of the first 1g-fe (what was in a Lexus is200 2003) engines what was started out of the car, well at least i think it is, anyway thanks.
If you are going to do this swap, I highly recommend you get the factory electrical diagram manual. They can be bought on ebay for $30-$40 and are worth their weight in gold. Make sure you know which harness you have as the ls400 and gs400 harnesses have different color coding. The ecu pin outs are the same but the wire colors are different.
Okay, last question since the engine and ecu is from a gs300 can i use an is300 key assembly unit that consists of the antenna and amplifier? Is300 and gs300 uses the same ecu so im wondering if the amplifier and antenna will correspond the same. Ebay has the is300 amplifier, antenna etc
Well, it's 50% the same. The 3UZ engine harness has a separate immobilzer ecu that must be wired up. The parts I show in my vid will be wired to that ecu.
yotarip that's wicked,that means it gives more miles per gallon than a 22re am I right?,or most 22res atleast,i woyld definitely do this swap if I didn't live in jamaica
I have two 1uzfe vvti engine and transmission low mileage from 99 and 2000 ls400 and I have a 98 ls400 . I want to swap the engine to a red Corolla or Corona. Please help me out where to start?
