For something a little different, and after having a VR 5L in it previously which I got bored with, decided one of these little Toyota 1UZ V8s was the go....
Right now its running a wolf3d V4 Plus. Runs like a champ and does everything I want, except one thing....it does not control the toyota elctronic trans. So built a tiptronic controller for it, has no wires under the steering column as it uses the horn slip ring and has a gear display....

I am looking at converting to VR PCM with custom code, always intended to from the start but the issue of twin dizzies was a problem and I needed the car as a daily driver - the conversion was done in 3 weeks while I could borrow a car so was pretty rushed. Its now been retired to weekend use, although it has not moved for ages from the garage, so am looking seriously at a delco conversion again.

awesome car mate bet thats a little rever is that the lexus V8 the 1UZ.tiptronic too sweeeeeeet any bolt ons or stock as

Yeah she revs ok Runs out of puff a little due to the intake manifold, but i turn it 6500RPM pretty often. Its all stock and ran 210RWHP on a basic tune to make it drivable, most people see 200-240 at the tyres depending on fuel and transmission with a stock motor.

its about time you posted some info up about this thing

its looks like you've done a fair bit of work with the wiring etc to get the auto working!!

i understand how you can get tired of having to change every gear all the time .... i have paddles on the steering wheel in the vz, its good when you want to have a fang but its nice to be able to push the a/s button and go back to full auto

Nice of the best conversions ive heard of for a vl. Beats the old and boring rb30t.

i don't understand why people worry so much about the twin dizzies on these. why not just turf it and run a V8 dizzy off one of the cams ? then delco up a storm ?

People do, more so the chev cap than holden, but they dont fit under the covers

bugger. shame the northstar (?) setup isn't easier.

Yeah would certainly be nice, the dual sensors 22.5deg apart is not easy to fabricate!

Finally get to move this to the Delco section

First start in near on a year, but instead of a Wolf 3D its now got a '424 VR auto PCM .. http://youtu.be/89emM0uX8T8 . Still retains the twin dizzy setup

Lots to get right still (cranking fuel is a bit light on, and the IAC steps are crazy high) but it started up and idled smooth as silk - as a lexus should Just gotta finish the wiring up and get the auto box connected up.
