I think there's two sensors , one for the gauge and one for the ECU. The light is probably for something else , brake fluid , oil level , or power steering fluid .

Wired in my fan controller and gauges and got the tachometer to work off the negative of an igniter and switched it to 4 cylinder . Left to do is exhaust , driveshaft loop, oil cooler plumbing ( with oil temp and fan )auto wiring as well. Then certification . I can see the finish line yay!

The other day I found a blown fuse that must have blown when my second hand fuel pump clapped out months ago , bloody fuse came back to haunt me , and I took ages to find the bloody thing.

I found when mine wasn't starting , that all the important pieces to the jigsaw were missing , igniter , coil , injector and sensor 12 volts once I traced each wire for these and wired in relays and fed 12 volts to them she fired up first time and I got a real fright to!

Not sure , bout the e2 but have you the wire from the start relay that goes to the ECU , I think its STA this tells the ECU the engine is cranking.

12volts to sensors ......yep

Mounted my oil cooler using the original intercooler bracket , which has a fan as well , so should work quite well. Did some more wiring , my tachometer reads full-scale foursome reason, even without motor running and ignition on , I suspect the sensor wire is not correct ,anyone got any ideas?

The 1uz regulates to around 40psi and I'm thinking your car has bosch fuel pumps that should work fine .

In my thread , there's a pic of what you swap out . But yes you use the Lexus torque convertor

Wired in guages last night .....Oil Pressure (went to 80psi) water temp and thru in a voltmeter cause three looks better than one :) . Even though its only running on the manifolds , I'm rapt with the smooth idle. Still a few jobs to do 1. Exhaust 2. Oil Cooler 3. Drive shaft loop 4. Finish...

Hi Kelvin, I'm wondering what your thoughts are on people coming on this forum and others asking basically for a "how to" on doing their conversions. I've done mine and still learning and making mistakes along the way , by gathering info over the years , and posting here what Ive done , for...

There should be a metal tag on the gearbox somewhere near the end . The other way is to take your dead engine out and compare the pump with pics of the Lexus one.

You need to check your gearbox is the Aisin model first otherwise you will need to look for a gearbox that can be used for your conversion.

Did abit more wiring today , got the alternator working correctly , even though there's an extra wire in the Lexus compared to the Pajero . It all worked out okay just needed an extra wire from the ignition. Did another start , really impressed with how easy these motors fire up .

Thinking I might install a separate tachometer , was thinking an 8000 revs scale would be enough , what do you guys reckon?

A few teething problems , blown fuse , oil pump needed a bit of priming , but finally she's running in the car https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201375598570222&l=3209782270837308468

The surf box can be used , by using the Lexus bell housing, pump and torque convertor. Some people use the whole Lexus box as well then wiring is easier . But then you have to adapt that to fit the transfer case. If you look at my build thread there's some info there ...

Have you had a chance to try out your exhaust , does it work okay .... nice V8 sound and performance?

Project went quiet for awhile , but today I've fashioned some engine mounts using the Pajero ones and some 80mm square tube all bolted together I'll get them welded later on . I'm hoping to do some wiring soon and have it running real soon

Have you connected a "kickdown cable" as even tho it is for kickdown it tells the auto what torque is needed etc depending on accelerator position . The TPS also talks to the auto bringing in solenoids etc.
