1UZFE S14A project

[r34 gtr]

I just stumbled across this thread, and I must say bravo. Fantastic work here and every bit of information you would need to do the swap. Lots of eye candy too, which is always a plus.

Might I be so bold as to request that a moderator sticky this thread for future generations of NICOnauts to enjoy? I would certainly think it merits it.

[RedDragun]

Awesome build. I'm curious exactly what ignition components you used for the wasted spark setup. Also, will the tune you are using work on a megasquirt II setup?

So this is a request for this that have completed this swap: does anyone have exact measurements or a cad file of the ka bellhousing bolt pattern? The 1uz patterns are available online, but I haven't been able to find the KA prints and I need it so my engineer buddy can finish the bellhousing adpater model and have it cnc'ed.

I don't have one for the KA bellhousing. We just mated everything up and did the good old fashioned sharpie through the bellhousing. lol. Not the most accurate, but 15,000 miles later it seems to do the job. Any update here? The only update I have is that it is still a blast to drive and should be even better once I get the turbo on.

I picked up some cheap tundra headers from ebay, and hopefully they'll fit around the steering shaft, but we'll see. If they don't, it'll be easier to work with than the cheaper metal of the stock headers. I did spoil my drivetrain immensley though. I talked to Tilton, who referred me to Aasco motorsports, and I ordered a flywheel and clutch kit from them. it's an 8lb steel flywheel with a tilton twin plate and throwout bearing extension. It's a bolt on, balanced, setup, and has a really low MOI, so should help a lot with how quick the engine revs. the whole deal weighs in at 18lbs, and cost a bit under 1600 shipped. This is the one piece that puts me way over budget, but it's also piece of mind and less guess work. I don't have unlimited access to a machine shop, so less fab work shaves weeks off the project. matt4pl   Posts: 1343 Joined: Fri Jan 24, 2003 7:12 pm Car: cars, anything fast, graphic design, lots of stuff Website Top Re: 1UZFE S14A project by UsJdmTuner » Thu Apr 29, 2010 6:35 pm do you guys have room for the HEATER hoses for heat?

Small update. Got tired of looking at my cluttered engine bay and decided to take action.

PICS!

Wires... lots of them.










No mas!


Test fitting for proper looming



See where this is going?


Sweet shoes... but what's the big wire for?


Former A/C Evaporator box now power distributor



Battery relocation complete!




All that just to do this:




I just had to have a clean bay!

Here's before pics just for reference:
