LS1 in my 98 Lux

[Micks]

Great you made some progress with the engineer, if you still need the FBW 2005 PCM info send us your email!

I had a friend go through the LS into 2005 Hilux thing. Now 100% engineering and insured. In regards to the brakes, the engineer wanted them upgraded. You can use Prado/Cruiser stuff. Did it with DBA Slotted Rotors and good pads and it was all signed off. Much better peddle feel as well, I always think 4wd utes are a little under braked.

Engineer is finally back from holidays so I dropped in to discuss the conversion and find out what his expectations were.
Got to say I was slightly nervous but left fist pumping and ready to start.

He said if there is any pollution gear on there, try and keep it on.
Try and use the standard cats if possible
Try Try Try lmao. He was really great to deal with. I have no doubt it will have to tick all the boxes but will be very easy to get done.

My big question was brakes, seems every man online has a different view.
Some say it will definitely need to be upgraded, some say use better pads, some say will need to convert to all discs and others say it is a commercial vehicle and designed to stop with extra weight and therefore brakes are already sufficient.

The resulting verdict from the man was - Brakes shouldn't be an issue, you don't want the stuff around of upgrading them. We will weigh it on completion and deduct the weight difference off the total load carrying capacity. So instead of max load of a bit over a tonne, it will be a tonne or slightly under. Started with the big smiles knowing this is my man.

Thats about as much as I want to mention here at the moment.

Separated the engine and box the other day so I can replace the output shaft with the new modified one to fit with the adaptor and transfer case.
Noticed the bell housing has a few cracks so will replace that while it is apart. Man those torx screws are a right pain in the ass to get out

Good advice. The brakes on my old Hilux were woeful, maybe even worse than a standard Commodore.

[Camos]

Yeah mine were terrible when I bought it, sometimes felt aright and other times felt like almost had to hit the floor to brake. They always stopped but didn't feel too good. I changed the front wheel bearings and are now spot on. Seems the slight wobbling was spreading the pads and needed a double pump to close them up.

Pulled the 4l60e apart and swapped over the output shaft. Tried to do it without removing the valve block... Don't do it. A bit of laziness caused a broken torque converter lockup solenoid oil pipe to break when I levered out the oil pump.

A small little mushroom shaped river also fell out when I pulled the output shaft out. Had me scratching for ages until I realised it was out of the solenoid.
Never pulled a tranny apart and was a bit daunting but all back together except the solenoid which is coming and the valve block.
Need to conform where all the check balls go and I am almost ready to start operating on the old girl.

[Camos]

You don't happen to know what he did with his prop shafts, cv's and other driveline components do you?

[Camos]

Well today the old girl went under anesthesia for the transplant

While disconnecting all the systems I noticed this...
Anyone know what it is?






I have limited height to swing in engines so I took the bonet off and tried to take off the front panels/radiator support only to find them spot welded together
Mister Cobalt sorted that out and before you knew it, 2.7l of wasted space was now out



Bolted the adapter on to the box with the transfer case and ready to squeeze into place


Tomorrow will be engine mounts then sussing out how to connect all services up.
I will then find out how much modifying is needed to be done to the sump pan.
Got a feeling it will be a late one

Could be wrong but that looks like a voltage regulator to me?

I found the part number with

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/prod...244905119.html

Here is my search for the part number as pictured...

https://www.google.com.au/search?q=t...L8XN8gewtIHABQ

The part is listed as a "Term Door Position Sensor"

I still did not know what that was so I again.

Found this...

http://ele-tech.com/html/position-se...lar-terms.html

It says.....

"The door in solar terms of the car engine is handled by accelerator pedal by the driver, in order to change the air inflow of the engine, thus control the operation of the engine. Different operation operating modes of the opening sign engine of the door in different solar terms.

For make it meet different requirement of operating mode not to gush out the intersection of oil and quantity, electron control petrol spray system door equip with the position sensor of the door in solar terms at the body in solar terms. It can opening of door convert electric signal to, transport give ECU solar terms, judge as ECU engine turn round basis of operating mode. The position sensor of the door have exporting two kinds outputting type of switch quantity and linear variable resistances in solar terms.

1,Exporting detection of the position sensor of the door of solar terms of the switch amount

( 1) Structure and circuit

The position sensor of the door is also called solar terms the door is turned on or off in the solar terms of exporting type of switch quantity. It has two pairs of contacts, it is the contact of idle speed (IDL) respectively With the full-load contact (PSW) . Controlled the opening of two switches of contact and closed with coaxial cam of the door of solar terms by one. When the door is all in the position closed in solar terms, the contact IDL of idle speed is closed, ECU judges the engine is in the idle speed operating mode according to the closure signal of the idle speed switch, thus control the amount of oil gushed out according to the requirement for the idle speed operating mode; When the door is opened in solar terms, the contact of idle speed is opened, ECU carries on gushing out the oil to control of transition operating mode from the idle speed to little load according to this signal; Full-load contact door close position in the little opening range in opening state straight arrive, all in solar terms, it is at solar terms door open by angle to be certain ‘ it is for 55& deg in bus in Toyota 1G-EU) Position at,it is full-load for contact begin to close,last engine to in full-load to last the signals of operating mode in ECU, ECU carries on full-loadly and adds densely and controls according to this signal. Switch quantity that Toyota 1G-EU engine’s electronic control system spend exporting position sensor of the door of solar terms.

( 2) Switch the intersection of quantity and solar terms of exporting etc. the intersection of door and position sensor check and change ‘ Toyota 1S-E and 2S-E) .

Check the conduction among the end sons on the car

Light a fire and turn on or off and locate & ldquo; OFF” The position, pull out the position sensor connector of the door of next solar terms, meddle in the thickness gage of the appropriate thickness between location screw of the limit of the door of solar terms and location pole of the limit; Use & Omega of universal meter; The shelf measures leading the open situation of contact and full-load contact of idle speed on the position sensor connector of the door of solar terms.

When the door is closed completely in solar terms, the contact IDL of idle speed should be led openly; When the door is open or close and open completely completely in solar terms, the full-load contact PSW should be led openly; Under other opening, two contacts should not be led openly. The detailed conditions are shown in Table 1. Otherwise, should adjust or change the position sensor of the door in solar terms.

2,Linear variable the intersection of resistance and solar terms the intersection of door and detection of position sensor of exporting etc. ‘ 3.0 trucks of imperial crown)

( 1) Structure and circuit

The position sensor of the door is counted by a kind of linear electric potential in linear variable resistance type solar terms, the intersection of sliding and contact that electric potential count the door-hinge is driven since solar terms.

Under the the intersection of door and opening, resistance that electric potential count too different, thus the intersection of door and opening change the intersection of voltage and signal into transport give ECU solar terms in different a solar terms. ECU through solar terms the intersection of door and position sensor, can get, show door to close to all to turn on view, voltage signal changed continuously that make all all solar terms, and the change speed of the opening of the door in solar terms, thus judge the operation operating mode of the engine more accurately. Generally in the position sensor of the door of this solar terms, there is contact IDL of an idle speed too, in order to judge the idle speed operating mode of the engine. .

( 2) Linear variable resistance solar terms the intersection of door and position sensor check, change ‘ Take imperial crown 3.0 as examples)

Contact conduction detection of the idle speed

Light a fire and turn on or off and locate & ldquo; OFF” The position, pull out the wire connector of the position sensor of the door of solar terms, use & Omega of universal meter; The shelf measures leading the open situation of contact IDL of idle speed on the position sensor connector of the door of solar terms. When the door is closed completely in solar terms, should be led openly among IDL-E2 end son (resistance is 0) ; When the door is opened in solar terms,it should lead among IDL-E2 end son it is coherent (resistance is for & infin) . Otherwise should change the position sensor of the door in solar terms.

Measure the resistance that the linear electric potential counts

Light a fire and open? ? ? Locate in OFF position, pull out the wire connector of the position sensor of the door of next solar terms, uses & Omega of the universal meter; The shelf measures the resistance that the linear electric potential counts, this resistance should be able to increase and present linear increase with the opening of the door of solar terms."

Hope that helps.

You could be a spare parts interpreter Ed

You could be a spare parts interpreter Ed

Yeah Mick, I could...

[Hi Octane]

I thought it was a ambient temprature sensor.

[Micks]

Yeah Mick, I could...

Thank fuk your not mate!

"Term Door Position Sensor"

Don't think I'd approve of that part description!

[Camos]

Dropped the tank to fit vz fuel pump. They run a return less system and need more juice when dumping it.

I cut the old flange out and then welded the new cutout from a ute


Running around organising fuel lines, power steering adapters and exhaust pipe.
Also scored a coupler for between the gearbox output shaft and the tx case.
Seems that the old small coupler doesn't want to come off.
Put the wiring harness back on and is almost ready to wire up. Engine mounts will be done tomorrow insert fingers crossed emoji
New bar turned up on the doorstep today.

Big smiles all round

[Camos]

Picked up the longer coupler for the gearbox and transfer case but do you think I could slide that sucker off
The advice was use a puller and use some heat but couldn't get a puller over the back of it


Do you think this is what they meant by heat?


Accelerator pedal mount fabbed up, pedal arm modded to sit better, clutch and system gone.
Everything is ready - I think - to weld on the mounts and drop in the monster engine

[JJW501]

Good stuff, I like your style.

Don't suppose they will exchange it for a part that suits your requirements?
