This is the video that most of you have been waiting for. The complete How To get a 4.7 2UZ engine into a Toyota Tacoma, running and driving like a factory install.
I start by taking care of some maintenance items, then it is time to go over every single step and part needed to make this swap work. I bought some stuff that I didn't need and found just the right combination of parts to make it perfect.
Where to get the Parts:
Adapter and Hard Parts for the Swap
xatracing.com/1UZ-to-R154-Ada...
Harness and oil Pan
www.northwesttoysllc.com/
Clutch Fitting
amzn.to/3qLe2f3
Maintenance Parts
www.rockauto.com/
When performing this swap I would highly suggest getting the entire vehicle with the engine if possible. You will need the 2UZ engine, Bell Housing from Automatic Trans for 2UZ, Canister Purge Solenoid or EVAP canister, Fuel Pressure sensor from Tundra (mounted in the Fuel ending Unit) Computer from Tundra. My Tundra was not equipped with an ignition immobilizer so I did not have to worry about the security lock outs....some models of donor vehicles do. So be sure to talk with Northwest Toys to figure that out before you begin.

My husband and I have been watching your channel for some time. He understands what you are saying more than I do. But I still like what you are doing, My question to you is------- Have you ever thought of bringing some younger people on your channel and teach or show them the basics on what you do? I would think some people would like to learn, but just need a boost. Annie😊

@timothycolbert6033 Жыл бұрын

Ian, former Toyota Master Tech here. Did you know that the 4th gen 4runner was available with a 2UZ and the engine compartment and whole front half of the frame are identical? Knowing this now, would you have looked for one of those for a parts vehicle? The oil pan from that would have fit as well as your A/C and P/S lines without pricey custom work. There's a good chance those motor mounts would have fit too. You'd still need the bellhousing adaptor/flywheel setup you got, but there would be a bunch more compatible parts that would swap over from the 4runner.

@BigTireGarage Жыл бұрын

Yes I did learn that...I looked at the 4Tunnrr pan...but finding one was hard...and then finding one for a parts vehicle I think would actually be more expensive than the swap using the Tundra. I love the idea and if I could of found one I would of bought it

As a person that builds “import” engines for a living I can attest to the fasteners not all being common lengths on a component. Some fasteners are not only unique in length but also in diameter as well when you consider the 7mm bolts used to fasten the camshafts in. Wrong bolts installed isn’t just an issue while working on an engine after the fact like you are Ian. It can still happen in the factory.

Also, only use Toyota coolant, oil filters, oil. Those 2UZ’s are designed for that. It will do much better. Just my thoughts. But that is awesome! I love you did that! There is another channel where Sarah n Tune is swapping a 2UZ into a Celica! Pretty cool stuff!
