CHEAP STAND ALONE ECU for 1UZ Swap!

We are getting closer and closer with the Toyota Pickup rebuild! Today we get the 1UZ V8 Swap running with my favorite stand alone ECU and harness from Spitronics. Then we try and fit the transmission.

Those aftermarket 1uz manual bellhousings are huge. I never have clearance issues using the adapter plate/ automatic bellhousing kits. The automatic bellhousings are smaller

Hey, it was great seeing you on fab rats with your buddies. Very cool.

Such an improvement in the shop! Going with the white is the right decision, It was so dark before. what an improvement moving the tool box too! not you have some width in there!

It's coming along! I'm considering doing this swap on my first gen Taco.

2:10 that is the cold start injector temp sensor. Only used on very early 1UZ. The plug you have should go into the sensor you broke and the cold start one isn't used.

Going to do this to my 1986 hilux here in Australia. Suoer handy having the info youre providing mate!. That ecu setup is a life changer, did you make the engine mounts?

[garylucas]

I just saw a short and realized I haven't seen any of your latest videos in my feed for the last 3 or 4 months! Lame, but at least i got plenty to watch while I catch up!!

Too bad your sponsors can't purchase a detached workshop building for you with a 2 post lift.

Just wondering if you did anything special to get your tach working on the spitronics setup? I double checked that I hooked mine up correctly and made sure it’s outputting in the software and still don’t get any needle movement.

Ive seen ppl use an air hammer to reshape a trans tunnel. It looked like a great idea.

[dlansburg]

Shop looks great, always enjoy your videos, thanks

Will this stand alone ECU work on a 95 Lexus ls400?

[hudsonbiancaniello]

Hey do you have any clue why the ecu says missing crank pulse? With crank no start

[dandorris]

Does that spitronics system work the same way as megasquirt with wasted spark and batch fire efi?

Are you related to Uncle Tony's garage by chance? You kinda look and talk the same. We appreciate the knowledgeable vids btw sir!

If you remove your front tires to pull an engine it will make your life easier. Like not dropping an engine and transmission at full boom height. My ceiling in my garage is low and unfinished like yours. with and now without a 3" body lift not ounce did my hoist hit the ceiling joist.

Your probably right about modifying the flor board to get things to fit, but I would say should also try measuring before your final decision. If you think about it why not just a 1" body lift, that's as tall as 3". Then modify the tabs on the bellhousing and probably fit with or without messaging the floor board. I personally would have came up with more ideas to avoid modifying the floorboards. It is always best to have your transmission and t-case bolted to the engine and installed by the crossmember. Your engine needs some angle for oil drain back, you don't want you engine level. Also need to take into account how you rig sites at ride height and how it sits, because that will be your angle from which all other angles will derive from.

I took measurements and angles when I did my 3.4l swap with also taking into account of suspension travel with no body lift. I'm actually thinking of adding a one inch body lift for an intake modification that will raise the intake plenum 1". The 1" body lift will give clearance for the plenum and the hood, it will also let me raise the t-case an inch. Only thing I need to take a closer look is the fan shroud and radiator.
