- 2003 Toyota Hilux 4x4 Pick up with Lexus V8 3UZ-fe Quadcam Toyota V8 fitted managed by a Link ECU Thunder. Created by The Cartune Company 2003 in New Zealand. Vehicle has Air conditioning fitted like stock. Originally a 5Vz which was imported from Australia.
That’s a tidy tidy job mate - If the 22r ever shits itself I might pay you a visit!
Respect from Russia 🇷🇺! You have a beautiful nature on video, and cool swap project👍
Thanks. I live in a lovely spot. Cheers

That's really neat. I like how everything looks factory and subtle. Looking forward to more videos.
Beautiful work as always.
Thanks for the compliment. Cheers.
Love your work mate 😍 do you have anyone as efficient as you doing full conversions in Australia, or an outlet here?
Unfortunately I dont know anyone over in OZ doing similar stuff to me. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ argh spewing mate; love ya work!
I'd like it but it comes to no surprise that my 3.4 V6 standard Hilux also does the same revs at 100km
Great , I'm planning to the same in 2000 Prado with the very sluggish 3rz engine
Good choice!
Such nice work 👍
Thanks
Beautiful clean swap. Inspirational
Thanks for the compliment. Cheers Kelvin
Amazing... Wish we had the diesels but I do want a tacoma with a V8 too
Yes. We dont get the tacoma at all here, nor the V8 4 runner so we have to make our own V8 powered toyotas. Cheers Kelvin
Fantastic conversion! Really like your attention to detail and ability to keep the Hilux cabin looking stock (at a glance) too. Interested to know if a 1uz would fit, and also maintain a stock look in the cabin, into an LN106? And if so, can I email you to get a ballpark cost/range to complete it? Thanks in advance
Yep. Ive done plenty of 1uz into LN106 and I prefer a stock look. Email is info@thecartunecompany.co.nz cheers
Nice work, very neat
Thanks for the compliment. Cheers Kelvin
Respect from Kazahstan
Thanks. Cheers Kelvin
You are a master! Do you know of anyone in the states that is on or near your level? We love Toyota in America
As you already know, nice job
Thanks for the compliment
Thats a real nice tidy job mate.
Thanks. I try to make them as if Toyota did the job. Cheers Kelvin
Does the Link recalibrate the speedo from the GPS periodically, or do you set a calibration factor during the initial setup?
Really neat..💯
Thanks 💯
Hey mate are these easier to fit into the 2wd model? Or is a 1uzfe better thanks.
Sounds great looks great
Drinks gas
does sound great. Does drink gas if driven spiritedly. driven carefully its not too bad on fuel. cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ I saw the gas needle jumping from 3/4 to half a few moment to your test drive, It's really thirsty...
@@nkatekomakhubele5038 the gas gauge moves in steps, this is normal and not N indication of fuel consumption at all. This truck is not really thirsty.
Currently looking into building a car very similar and wanted to know what the Pros and Cons of using the 3uz instead of an LS or something along the lines.
Did you find the LS engine conversion I did in the 2009 hilux? The 3uz is great as it it smooth and refined however the base motor prepared to go into the vehicle is quite pricey. I have lots of parts for the UZ family so that is really easy for me. If you want even more power then the 3uz is going to be really expensive so swapping to the LS is an easy way to make more Hp and Torque. There is no finesse in an LS. Physically long is an issue with the bell nose water pump so swapping to shorter LS2 is a good option but up go the $$$. I found some good parts for my swap and then applied the same knowledge. I really love the lexus engines however when you want a big hammer the LS is often a better choice. Hope thats helpful. Cheers
CartuneNZ That’s beyond helpful mate and I haven’t seen your LS swap so I will do a quick hunt for that video. And I’m not going for crazy HP number I generally wanted a healthy running 3uz whacked into a 96 model Toyota Surf and then built up so I can take it off-roading on my weekends away with the family.
Any recommendations to the clutch set ?
I have been told to use 2006 Camry V6 clutch+ flywheel ..etc
I use the same flywheel and clutch which I supply.
@@CartuneNZ unfortunately, I am in the middle east. Thus, looking for parts I can find in here.
Car is 1969 mustang
Engine 3UZ from 2006 Lexus LS430
I have these options for 5 speed transmission.
1- R155F from Toyota Hilux + 2006 Camry V6 clutch and flywheel.
2- T5 from old mustang + Corvette clutch. ( Much more expensive)
Which one you would recommend ? Any suggestions?
Hello sir,
very nice work bravooo
Can you help me about data wires on 3uz 2003-4 ECU because all of wires were cuted and i can't find data wire for connecting obd2 connector .
thank you very much
Hello. I sell wiring info for these engines. Cheers Kelvin
Love your channel. I'm determined to replace the worn out 3.0 six from my '73 BMW Bavaria with a 1UZ. Great info here!
Thanks. Cheers Kelvin
Hi Mate
Beautiful job there a great engine and I’ve got no doubt they’ll be Very happy with it!!,
One question and that is do you know exactly what Radiator you put in it?? As I’m in need of one for mine.
Cheers
Hello. Radiator is an alloy kzn185 surf item which then had some extensions made for the mounts. Cheers.
Thanks for the walkthrough. Any reason for fitting the soarer aircon compressor?
Good Morning. The early A/c pump is easier to work with. They have the clutch and a speed sensor which isnt required with the aftermarket ECU. The 3uz compressor has a control solenoid as well which requires control for the pump to operate and I was out of PWM outputs on the ecu. I have three versions on a/c pump sitting in the workshop ready to do a video on these at some point.
@@CartuneNZ Would any 1UZ compressor do, or is it because the SC400/Soarer does not have the MPX bus? Looking forward to the video.
@@1-UZ So far I have found the Gen 1 and Gen 2 1uz have been fine. The Gen 3 (vvti) 1uz generally have the variable solenoid so while the can still be used it takes more controls to do so. The MPX bus comes in on the UCF20 VVti but not the UZS151 vvti and I havent compared the a/c pumps between these two models.
Good day
Can you help met with a wireing diagram on my lexus build i have a 35 50 LS auto box in it with a standart 1,2,D,N,R,P shifter. How can i wire it up for all the gears and any ideas on how to link the shifter to the gearbox.
This might help. czcams.com/video/-PRln_Z7llY/video.html I have wiring instructions available to purchase
Hi mate loving your videos👌I'm based in taranaki how much do u charge including lift to do a job like this? I have an 01 xtra cab hilux.
This job was $30k from being dropped off to being certed and legal on the road.
Whats with the fuel gauge? It showed full and then half all of a sudden
I think I ended up blending several different days of driving footage. Cheers Kelvin.
Noticed that as well
Different footage. Haha. Taken over several days.
How much horsepower as it sits there with intercooler and cold air intake everything 380?
Hello. No intercooler on this one, its naturally aspirated and yet to go onto the dyno. Cheers Kelvin.
@@CartuneNZ make video if you can plz if you put it on the dyno
Could you run a high flow turbo on 15psi in the 1uz or a 3uzfe? And is it risky?
I have a 2016 Hilux. I also live in Iran where engine swaps are not allowed unless it’s the same engine type.
I’m thinking of getting more power. Should I just do a 3uz swap and keep it down near cops or turbo the stock 2.7L petrol engine with modified internals?
Thats going to be up to you. Personally I do V8s into everything , but I do try to stick to the law , well somewhat. Cheers Kelvin
I have 1994 Toyota Surf SSR-G, V6 petrol, Auto.
What would it cost for Lexus V8 conversion - including cert?
Will contact you by phone soon, I am in the Waikato.
Hello Garth. Before I can estimate a price I need lots of details like which version of 1uz would you prefer , management, expected use , with or without A/c , with body lift or without etc etc. I can then offer an estimate and expected booking time (presently early 2020) Cheers Kelvin
how do the gearboxes go with extra power?
The boxes in this model is the stronger R series box so well up to the extra power provided they are in good condition.
Do you know of anyone in qld Australia that would do a conversion like this one?
Sorry I dont. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ drive it over to nz etc n do the job!
I’m pretty sure you can temp import a car etc
The previous owner put the same engine in my Land Cruiser 91 Fibre Top 3 door.
I am facing issues with its automatic transmission, seems to jerk everytime I put it in R or D.
Any comments on how to improve it?
reduced Idle speed might help. Ensuring the transmission is serviced. Cheers kelvin
Do yoy do a instructional booklet on 3uzfe to an auto gq i could buy
SUB BAR ROO. Lol
Nice ute!!!
Is it bar or BAAA , like the sheep , we have quite a few here. haha. Cheers
hey mate this is awesome im thinking about doing this in australia how hard is it?
For me its not hard at all. How good are your mechanical, electrical and problem solving skills? What access to tools do you have? Do you have a positive attitude?
nice vid
Thanks.
I’ve got a knock sensor 1, bank 1 code that won’t disappear, I’ve got a new harness for the sensors aswell as two new sensors. Curious if there’s anything else you would recommend doing whilst in there?
3uz
Check starter. Fit new avis solenoid and loom. Call it good.
Hi what did you use for a flywheel and clutch mate
Same units I use for all my swaps and sell myself here in nz
Хорошая работа!
Thanks.
Can I just ship my 4Runner to NZ from the States with a chest full of cash? What I would do to get this craftsman squeeze a v8 into my rig... Great channel too man.
I have people suggesting sending me vehicles from around the world quite a bit.
@@CartuneNZ doesn’t surprise me one bit - what you do is a trade and an art. I could watch your channel all day - until of course time comes to wrench on or play with my Toyota! What I like the most is all the extra little stuff you do along the way as your taking on a conversion or just fixing a problem a customer brought in. All these jobs turn into three or four new and different things, and I like seeing how you find it all, have a standard for everything you come a cross and know how to fix it fast/effectively as you go - because as you’ve said, you’ve done a few of ______ jobs before! Great channel - keep em coming!
Good day I know it's an old video but I would really appreciate if you could give me some advice on the Lexus v8. I have and 1979 HQ 1tone in South Africa its called an Le Toro It came with a Chevrolet 4.1 straight 6 but it's seen better days. To get to my question which one of the Lexus V8 model engines would you suggest to use for reliability.
Kind regards
Jannie Brooks
The Hq holden I recently drove had a 1uz. Personally I prefer the newer engines like the 3uz
Yes the HQ Holden. I really appreciate the advice and will definitely then go for the 3uz. Just one more question I'm going with a full gearbox and engine swop ECU do I go factory ore aftermarket I just want a reliable runner with fair fuel economy. Apologizes for all the questions but just got salesmen this side and I don't trust them.
@@JB-nt2en personally I would be using the stock ecu , but I know how to set them up correctly.
I can not thank you enough for this info. I'm going to try and get one that's pre wired just hope the chaps this side know at least half of what you do.
Mate can you do my car in Australia. Such a clean example of good work. How come you used the soarer AC compressor?
I get asked a lot of I can do cars around the world. Not so easy from NZ. I do lots of international wiring but not whole conversions. I used the soarer ac compressor as they dont have the variable pressure solenoid which makes it easier to retro fit. Cheers Kelvin
Hey mate I'm doing the same swap but not sure if I should use the a750 5 speed or the a340 4 speed is it really worth going the 5 speed I was told it makes a big difference
Is yours 4x4 or 2wd?
@@CartuneNZ 4x4 was going to use the a343f
@@elmekanikoauto how did you intend to manage the a343f? As its an electronic box.
Which has better fuel economy between the 1uz and the 3uz
Set up correctly both are as fuel efficient as each other
Hey mate I'm thinking of getting a Toyota Hilux here in Australia. Is it possible to put the Toyota VD v8 engine from the 79 series land cruiser and put it in the Hilux?
Anything is possible with enough money and swappint a vd is likeky going to need plenty of money as they are physically huge and a hilux bsy is small. I'm guessing it would be cheaper to buy a landcruiser
What are the differences between a 3uz swap and a 1uz vvti swap
Looms, throttle bodies. Two main different options in 1uz vvti and two main different options in 3uz. Late 3uz have 6 speed. Physical same size. Some 3uz dont have powersteer pump. Lots of little differences
liked at 100 i wonder if you can hook one of these to an manual ra Tacoma transmission?
We didn't get Tacoma new over here but from what I know some came out with a R150 gearbox which I have bellhousings for. Maybe you can confirm what gearbox they have. I know ill be looking for a Tacoma to check out when I'm over your way next. Cheers Kelvin
Is there enough electric fan to cool the engine radiator?
Yes. Plenty. Has a 16 inch on the back and another smaller 12 inch on the front for air conditioning and extra cooling when second fan is running
Awesome! Where did the lexus v8 come from and how much is this conversion?
I have an importer than brings quite a few engines in when he can source them from Japan. We sometimes get a few at dismantlers over here too. I'm unsure of the exact cost of just the conversion as this job also included fixing a few issues provided by the guy that attempted the conversion in the first place , broken steering column , broken airbag system and stuffed up body lift to name a few. The end product was great though.
thats a realy good job. I have a Tata Zenon 2.2 4x4 decor 2010 model that i want to fit with a lexus v8, will this be possible
We dont see the tata over here so not exactly sure but they look similar to other vehicles over here so quite possible it would fit. Cheers Kelvin.
@@CartuneNZ ok thank you
Good Jo b,looking forward to do it!How can i contact you Mr?
There's an email address at the end of every video which is info@thecartunecompany.co.nz. cheers Kelvin.
Would it be just as easy to swap out the 2.7L in my 2002 Hilux 4x4?
I’m on the Gold Coast, any suggestions on who could do the job?
Hello David. To me every conversion is the same, we do the same stuff, removal old engine, drop in new engine, connect stuff, drive it out. 2.7 is no different. I dont have any contacts over there at this point. Im doing a full conversion video of the present job on another 2003. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ how much for U to fly out here and do conversion .. have full workshop will hoist and tools at Logan between Goldy and Brissy .. U could tee a few jobs up and use my workshop .. works something out .. please private msg me
@@GG-tx3en Hello. With this account I can't PM but flick me a message on facebook for email at info@thecartunecompany.co.nz Cheers Kelvin
What gearbox did you use? The factory manual from it?
No. This model has a 190mm length input shaft R150f and being v6 the bellflange sits further forward than the firewall than is ideal for the v8. This means moving the gearbox back which would have stuffed the shifter position. As such some changes were made so the box was same configuration as a diesel R151F like an earlier surf or 1kz diesel model. Cheers Kelvin
Mate... frothin!
Its got a new owner now and he's loving it. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ I'm currently talking with shops Here about upgrading the engine and possibly swapping out the V6 for an LS V8. I've been pushed in the direction of a supercharger though. So weighing up what to do.
I need your help real urgently.. I've hooked up a 3uzfe to the manual transmission in my Nissan patrol and it doesn't give proper power and after 3 months now it's constantly going into limp mode.. We suspect it's cause the engine is not talking to its proper transmission.. Please help
Two options I can see, either its not wired correctly or whoever reflashed the ecu to manual didnt get it right (or it hasn't even been reflashed) . I reflash auto stuff off to sort these sorts of issues. Cheers
You're a life saver.. MI casa su casa anytime you're in Pakistan
Do you think I could ship the ecu over to you for reflash? I can also make an online deposit direct into your account for this service.
@@omarsaleem8898 yes. I can reflash your ecu for you. Email info@thecartunecompany.co.nz and ill give my contacts or check out my website.
Email's shot your way.. Awaiting contracts
Whats a safe rev limit for stock 3uz with intake and headers? 6500 6750 or 7000?
Stock is safest around 6500. All comes down to driver and driving style. Some race cars we run at 7k, some expire as a result, we know the risks.
Beauty sir... can i swap this engine in my hilux vigo? What is the milege please share your experiance.
Regards..
Yes I have done a few into the Vigo. We still call them a hilux over here. You will find some pictures on my facebook page , The Cartune Company. Both 2wd and 4wd. The 2wd gave around 600km per tank and the 4wd around 450-500. You may wish to look at the LS1 conversion I did into the Late Hilux (vigo) as well czcams.com/video/cHYw2knowik/video.html
Cheers
LS1 is a failed engine here in Pakistan due to non availability of parts.
Just would like to know what gearbox did you use
An R151F was used in place of the stock R150F which was the stock gearbox. Cheers Kelvin
Thanx mate love your content things are bid pricey here in South Africa will send you a mail when I need some advice cheers Arnold
I have a surf with the lexus in it which i purchased from Hamilton im wondering is it possible to get twin exhaust installed would it make much difference in power and sound
It also idles at 1100/1200 revs is that right if not how do i turn revs down
Hello. High rpm indicates an issue. If its factory ecu it indicates something requires sorting, maybe incorrect wiring, problem iac or maybe fiddled fingers playing with something they shouldn't. If its aftermarket incorrect tuning or one of the above. It needs someone who knows what they are doing to look at it. There is no normal idle adjustment to just turn it down. Exhaust is going to depend on what it has now and specifics of the new system to whether it makes a difference. Twin system is possible however a good single will perform just as well providing each is designed and installed correctly. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ do you think it would be the throttle position sensor
@@tangira1980 a faulty or incorrectly set tps would be on my list to check. I prefer to test instead of guess.

Thanks.
Kindly tell me which gear are you using with this engine? Thanks
Hello. This is using an R151f hilux 4x4 manual gearbox.
Does this gearbox bolt on 3uz?
It does once I fit a custom bellhousing to suit R150 to UZ. Cheers Kelvin

@@CartuneNZ ill get watching i love your work bro
Check out the 2003 Hilux "how to" video. It started as a V6. Also check the age of engine you are allowed to fit being from Oz. You may not be subject to restriction as the V6 prado couldn't pass emissions even if it tried so I think you might be fine but check first. Cheers Kelvin
Mate roughly how much it gunna cost me to get you to drop a v8 in a hilux including finding a 8 ,and is that motor in this video the bees knees of them all?
Basically something similar to this beast
Are you based in New Zealand? I do prefer the 3uz where possible. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ yup sure am just north of you
@@rogueskywalker7649 I need details before offering a price estimate. The vehicle in the video was around $30k to complete the conversion on to give a bit of a guide but there are lots of options which alter the price. Cheers Kelvin
Can a automatic be converted to stick
Are you meaning can an automatic vehicle have the automatic removed and a manual gearbox fitted? Or can a uz engine have a manual fitted?
Is it worth it.
@@davidrichter5212 owners choice as to value.
Can you build one and ship to the United Kingdom 🇬🇧?
I can build anything uz provided I get paid. This one was for sale just the other day but only for a couple of days. I think he changed his mind. Cheers Kelvin
Over all $$$
Each conversion is different like this one also included fixing the body lift due to someone damaging the steering shaft previously and the engine not having a jumped cambelt prior to it arriving with me. If you want to discuss prices on a job you wish to do flick me an email at info@thecartunecompany.co.nz Cheers

Just curious.
I did one about 8 years ago and from memory it was up at the 100 hour mark give or take.
Good job.
Very clean
How much does it cost for the swap
Something similar to this is around $30k nzd. Cheers Kelvin
Whats the total cost for ls1 conversion
Price is going to depend on options chosen. No two conversions are the same. Cheers Kelvin
How much did it cause you
I completed it for a customer and tend not to discuss customers details with others. Cheers Kelvin
Can that engine fit in a Toyota charmant
We never got the Charmant over here but seeing it is based upon a corolla it should. Ive worked on a few in the mid 80s corollas including a AE86 corolla. Ive got a customer fitting an early 1uz into a mod 70 corolla. It's a lot of work to make big engines fit into small cars but it should fit.
Would you sell a built harness for a conversion?
We do heaps of conversion looms. Custom made to each persons requirements
@@CartuneNZ how much for one made and would you ship too Canada? I have a 88 4runner id like too swap. I haven't picked up the motor yet just shopping around but ill get which ever year you think would be best, im assuming it would be a earlier non vvit.
Im not sure about a factory ecu or aftermarket. Iv considered aftermarket for down the road tuning and potentially itbs.
