Hi Wayne

I notice you dont have any bump stops on the rear with limited movement up on the shocks.

I'm surprised you haven't stuffed a shock.

Do you know what the final drive ratio is hence torque at the engine?

That's pretty good considering they are powering big wheels.

I was disappointed when I first started looking into 1UZs that guys in Soarers were only getting 120-130wkw, loosing up to 30% through the drivetrain.

Are you using full auto or manual shift?

its in limp mode .... so i have 1st 3rd and 4th no lock-up ...BUT line pressure has been raised .. accumulators shimmed heavily and a couple of other things im playing with
some info
uz tranz.. cruiser transfer
4.88 rear diff and 35's that measure 34"
link g4 ecu ... stock ecu is a big issue ... aftermarket is a 30kw gain .. right there
decent headers will give you 15-20kw
and if you fit ITB's you can score another 20-30 kw

me .. im going 3uz vvti ... they make great power on after market management ... why am i changing ?? ... ill make the same as a s/c 1uz .. n/a ... dependant on the ecu

Nice one Wayne a 3UZ would be great, Its a shame the 4.7 2UZ are so rare and also so heavy as they would be a magic offroad engine. Or the 2UR-GSE 5.0 from the IS-F ye ha

ive got a new o2 sensor x2 comming and when i manuelize it ill trick the ecu a little so it dont get upset
94 + ecu's can be more tempramental than the earlier stuff as they went more into self dianostics

Niiiiiiiice.

Cant stop thinking about your current winch................... :lol:

I absolutely do not need it. There is so much stuff more important- like getting a WOF. (more a case of not being bothered)

What are you going to use as a pump?

-Nathan[/quote]

Yea the front shocks are to long at the mo, Ill either extend the shock towers when im sorting out the other issues with the front end or just fit some shorter shocks, And for a truck to be awesome it has to actually go :( But Wayne is opn the case and it will soon be awesome again :)

Sweet Wayne sounds good, So the 02 sensors were buggered were they and hopfully with those replaced that might sort the limp mode issue eh

You said you have already increased the line press in the trans eh?
