Celica RA64 1UZ Swap - Final Suspension Upgrades (Ep. 16)
Very early on in the swap video series, I performed some suspension upgrades before the 1UZ-FE went in. Here's a short yet sweet video of what went down! Enjoy. 😀

Celica RA64 1UZ Swap - Project Wrap-up feat. Two Goobers (Ep. 15)
zhlédnutí 658Před 5 měsíci
We all know it's been far too long since I started this project. Time to get it finished! I've brought in the best help I could find from the Celica community; Gabe, who did his 1UZ swap in his rally-prepped RA64C in THREE DAYS. Of course he's the perfect 1UZ master! Kace, with not one but TWO RA64s, expedited everything else making his short time with us extremely valuable. Thank you to you bo...

It's been a long time coming, and I know you're eager to see the 1UZ-FE run, but wait, there's some diagnostics to be done! In this episode, we connect the main engine wires to get it to start and run, then I do a deep-dive into the inner workings of the 1UZ ECU and debug what caused a no-start. Will it run?

The most daunting part of any swap is the wiring - dealing with the cursed spaghetti is something we all must do at some point, and I'm going to do my best to de-mystify the process for you here! It's a long and weary process, but a worthwhile one especially if you're trying to utilize the stock ECU for emissions reasons.

If you own a Miata that paper clip stands out like a sore thumb.😅
Any DMV update video ref bar smog certification video. Pass the link
I work on forklifts and stop using the bungee chord technique. Had it snapped off on me before working around it. I use zip ties now, much better hold.
At least we found out why that harness and ls400 ended up in the junk yard
I didnt want to skip any episode man I was glued to the channel ... Wow the anticipation and fact you had me fall asleep to episode 15 to wake up and finish the series of episodes. I am excited to get to the season finale and most important ignition 😁
Naming your hammer Tanya Harding is straight goat status 😂 that was funny as hell
😂😂😂 Tanya Harding Great job bro you got me glued to your channel ... I am in the bay area looking to do this same swap on a nice sr5 pick up
Can I ask what fog lights you have?
Sad to see you all weating masks outside. Interesting point, chemicals contained in you disposable mask have been found to cause cancer in California. Oh the insanity.
my dream build for my 83' rona...awesome video!!! question..what g.box is it?
Did you have to sand the top and bottom of the timing cover? I ask because I got the conversion and tried sneaking in my cover while my head was installed and I couldn’t because the cover is slightly over lapping the block. I did some research and a guy had to sand his too, so I’m wondering if you had too?
No, since you're supposed to pull the head for this job
I've been watching your video and 1uz swap in Celica. I want to do the same build. Can you please give me the link to buy the adapter from engine to trans, motor mount, any tips will be really appreciate. Thank you in advance.
The face diapers were a joke.. thanks for being so compliant
This is awesome! I’ve been watching your videos trying to learn as I go with my swap! Gabe had a legendary jump in my old celica too!
Hello everyone, you have to remove header valve engine and buy new header engine? Or just brought dual row timing chain kits for replace new chain without remove the header engine?
Chefs kiss on this edit
That sucks you cut the outer tie rod to much. Great job on the installation and the tip for the correct positioning of the outer tie rod to the knuckle point. I was trying to find someone that had installed those correctly and you're the man!!
Awesome upgrade. Where did you pick up the new front lower control arm?
RockAuto
Was hoping you’d do a video on this! Read through your suspension forum probably 100 times haha! I’d totally pull the trigger on my T3 cart if I didn’t have to rebuild my 302 now :(
Nice! Not sure if it was just the camera angle, but looked lower on the driver side when you were rolling her in the garage.
I wish these cars had more aftermarket support. One of the reasons I sold my RA65 was the simple lack of even OEM style rear suspension parts. Not sure if I'll ever make it out to the west coast, but it would be cool to have pictures of my two tone blue 85 Corvette parked next to your two tone Celica.
This car is really bad ass.
This has been a fun project to watch over the last few years. Gratz on your project ~
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF yeah, I'm glad to see it on the road!!!
Another comment. That smell you were well. Smelling, was more than likely the exhaust header paint we applied, i remember that stuff was insanely powdery and it called for being baked on but i suppose running the engine did that for you.
this rules, great job!
🥳
man, you've got the car of my dreams congratulations on your amazing project!
For anyone thinking about doing this swap, Quantum Auto sells a UZ adapter plate that has a nearly full bolt circle for TOB mounting. This gives you 27 possible positions to clock it right where you want it and avoid some of the difficulties faced by the intrepid hero of this build.
Lets goooo
WOOOOOOOOO🎉
Fantastic work! Glad to see its on the road and ripping!
9/10 Video. I had to dock the one point because the iconic "what is Hung" laugh attack while under the car wasnt added into the video lmao
HAHAH well perhaps /luckily/ I didn't get that on record 🤣
Awesome dude! I would suggest custom one-piece hoses for the radiator - all those clamps give me leak nightmares.
Dude!! Congratulations!!! Job well done!! It's awesome to be able to work on your car with friends.
Amazing, good going!
Congrats!
So happy for you man! hope you'd do some more running videos.
Nice job!! :D
Where did you get all of that color matched paint? I am at this step in my 1uz swap. Napa? All I was aware of was Dupli color matched spray-paint. I painted my hatch last summer with duplicolors 8oz paint, it matched ok but the cans were tiny and loved to splatter.
That's right, Napa makes that color matched paint! Just give them the Toyota color code. Make sure to clear coat with Spraymax 2K clear!
Wow!! That's some work!! Great job the car is looking great!! It seems to me that the RA64 has a bit less spacing under the car for the exhaust system than the AE86. It could just be the camera angle. Overall awesome work!!
Congratulations on getting the car running! It must be a very proud moment for you🎉 I actually had to go back after this video and watch the video you posted back on May 2020 where you and some friends pulled the 1uzfe from a pick- and-pull LS400. Someday I hope to achieve a similar engine swap; a California-legal 1UZFE swap into an A70. But that's a long way down the road from now due to my limited mechanical (and electrical) knowledge and real estate (work space). I'm glad to see that you are using the stock ECU and really cleaned up the wiring to where it looks almost OEM. Thanks again for a detailed, informative, and entertaining video! 🎉
The stock ecu is ok but once you put a manual transmission behind the 1uz and have no torque converter the stock tune is not so great. You really do need a stand alone ecu and tune to get the most out of a manual swapped 1uz.
Yeah it really isn't the best, one of my friends is running a Spitronics ECU for his 1UZ Celica and it rips harder than mine hahah. But had to run the stock computer for emissions reasons. This may change in the future... 😳
Man... I really hope we get an in-car driving impressions / review of the V8 Celica.
Congratulations m8! I really enjoyed this series, I'm not a big 1UZ guy but I am a big A60 Celica guy. But one tip I'd give you is I made myself a "start box" out of a sandwich container which has switches, a push button and a terminal block so that I could temporarily wire everything up and "test start" the engine on the stock engine loom to verify everything works before properly rewiring the whole loom to suit the car.
awesome vid
Its pretty awesome thing to document your work for the lil toyota celica, i love it!!!! Hopefully soon the build will be ready 🙏
NO WAY!! I am doing this swap RN using cartune's info and your swap videos. I figured you were done. Super hyped to see part 3. I am filming my whole swap but I'm not being very through because I am focusing on the actual swap and not filming lmao
That's OK!!! I just tried to capture as much detail as I could so you and others could easily refer to it for your own swaps. :)
Thanks a lot for putting this together!
