One big tip for when you get started. Take out the radiator and cut out the upper support that runs across the front. That way you don't have to lift the engine nearly as high when you take it in and out! You can easily weld it back in when you are done.

Ok cool thanks for the info just wondering what is the better 1uz to put in a mid sump engine or front sump whats easiest with the least amount of problems.Its also a factory manual already i was thinking of chucking the w55 box in there seeing as the adapter plates and parts are quite easy to come by

 

[gloverman]

I prefer mid sumps. I dont bother with W55 as they are not much better than a stock box. W57 or W58 are an improvement. I can supply all parts. Search 1uz on trade me to find my mounts and other parts. Cheers

gloverman can u source bearing or syncho kits for w58??

 

[gloverman]

Yep. Flick me an email. Can't you get them over there?

 

[BONEB4G]

Could anyone please tell me if there is anything i need to cut ie the firewall to install the engine and w58 gearbox and wil the original gearbox cross member still do the trick for the w58? any help would be much appreciated thanks

 

[gloverman]

No need to cut the firewall (Check out trade me to find my mounts with photos) Gearbox memeber may need a small change but very easy to do. Small note I should have said I prefer Front sumps in 2wd hilux. Cheers

 

[BONEB4G]

cool cheers mate do you no anyone who wires up the lexus with a link computer?

 

[gloverman]

I do them too. I have them advertised on trade me as a plug and play setup or I can do a complete install and tune on our dyno. Cheers

 

[BONEB4G]

alright sweet well when i get some money sorted i might have to come to hamilton and have a talk with ya

Hey gloverman do you sell custom sway bars, radiator and fan setups and heavy duty clutches?

 

[gloverman]

I do clutches , flywheels , have several options for radiators and fans. Dont do any sway bars. Diesels dont ran a sway bar and we take them off the petrols. I beleive the later ute sway bars fit. Cheers
