I Will update these lists as I go...
"PARTS TO AQUIRE LIST"
((1UZ-FE Engine, and wiring harness with ECU. basically everything that is bolted to or plugged into the engine or harness, including trans and anything bolted to or plugged into it. In other words, if it plugs into a thing, you take the thing, if it plugs into a connector, you unplug it. (this is where a donor car comes in handy, you can be sure you have all this stuff))
2" body lift
upper and lower oil pan, pick up tube, and windage tray from a 2UZ-FE
Idler bracket and pulley from a Tundra to replace the Hydraulic fan pump from the Lexus
electric fans and relays (pusher setup)
((from the Lexus auto trans) (pan, filter, valve body, solenoids, wiring and connectors, R-N-D shift switch, speed sensors, front pump, planetary gears, input shaft, torque convertor, bell housing) (use the wiring and connectors from the 4runner harness going to the trans temp sensor, and three transfer shift switches)) you may choose to shim your 1/2-2/3 accumulators when doing the trans swap stuff...
transmission cooler of your choice, I like the stacked plate ones.
"PARTS FABRICATED OR MODIFIED"
motor mounts fabricated 1/8 steel
steering joint lengthened by 2"
transmission linkage shortened by 2.5"
transfer case shifter lengthened by 3"
cross member mount 3/8 steel with 1/2 spacers
drive shafts -3" in rear +3" in front (will have shop do that)
exhaust cat delete or dump pipes, (I will make some up, but the shop will do most of the exhaust)
"ELECTRICAL INFO"
basically using the Lexus engine loom and everything it plugs into.
aside from the few main power relay circuits, you are left with four or five connectors that really want to plug into one another...
we simply have to identify each wire in each connector. then rearrange them so the right info goes to the right place.
I have done the pinouts for the Lexus connectors, I will post them up soon...
I'm working on the 4runner now.
Guess you guy's and gal's would like to see my progress so far...
Here's where I started.
Pulled out the perfectly running but tired supercharged 5VE...
that's a big hole, but I will need every millimeter of it! and then some...
I then got to work swapping a few parts of the SC400 1UZ...namely, the upper and lower oil pan, pick up tube and windage tray for 2UZ units... also swapped the hydraulic fan pump with an idler from a Tundra I think... I used the 4runner transmission with integrated transfer case, but I swapped the valve body, all the sensors, solenoids and wire connectors, the front pump, the planetary gears, the input shaft, the torque convertor, and the bell-housing from the Lexus.
This work was pretty straight forward, I had to drill a hole for the forward speed sensor from the Lexus harness, also had to take the wiring and connectors for the trans temp and 3 transfer position switches from the 4runner harness. The Lexus uses a third speed sensor mounted on the tail-shaft, so I'll have to use the 4runners wheel speed sensors for that reference.
