I have a few Isuzu Troopers with the Aisin AR5 which is i think the same as the RPO MA5. I have two 91 LS400 with the 1UZFE. Will your R series bellhousing be a good fit for this swap? Do you also do engine mounts or know a source to put a 1UZFE into a 98-03 trooper? Thanks.
Hey Kelvin great vid as always! Ive just got myself a Gen 1, 1uzfe which I want to fit to my UK spec 88 hilux pickup, I'm guessing you'd recommend a R151 gearbox to run with it? Also do you ship all of your products internationally please? Ive a feeling I'll be buying most of what you sell bud if you do!? Keep up the great work! Cheers Bobby
Great vid! I'm curious to know what flywheel and clutch you use. I don't like the adaptor plates either and the are kind of expensive too. I once made a custom bellhousing by cutting the front off one and welding it to the back of another...it worked fine.
I have my own supply of flywheels and clutches. All use a Chrome moly flywheel designed for conversions with integrated ring gear. The heavy duty cover uses is a organic plate and motorsport uses a chrome moly cover and button plate. I think they cost a bit more than many out there but Ive been using them for 14 years now and sold hundreds of them. Id like to improve my international freight as I have well tested stuff now. I'm watching guys in the USA doing stuff now that we did 10-12 years ago. Cheers
Hi Kelvin and as always thank you for the informative video. One quick question, can I just swap out my G series box for an R150 and the G series (LN105 truck) transfer box will bolt up to it ok? Driveshafts, shifter etc remain ok? Sorry I normally try to find my own answers but I just can’t find much on this topic.
i have a 1995 Lexus Sc400 1UZ... wanted to convert it to manual gear box... will you be selling a kit for this? r154 or w57 not sure what to do as of yet.
And you've hit 1k subscribers! That may not be a huge number, but I feel all the right people are watching your videos. It took some digging to find your channel. One suggestion. I would make a link to your online store and put it in the video description along with your shop address. That way me and others can send some fan mail. Cheers!
Hello Kelly. 1K subs is pretty huge for me. It was one of my goals for the year and partly thanks to you I get there earlier than expected. I have a company working on my website but they don't really understand my business so I might have to try someone else. Ive also been putting a little bit more on my own facebook page. Ill get there slowly. Have to fix some cars too.
Good day Diano from South Africa Struckle with 1uz vvt auto oem lexus ecu 2wd but with std diff ratio it on ford courier/ranger cut out at 140kph What can I do? That is at 3750rpm 1 2 3rd it revs 6000+
We have bellhousing for R154 and flywheel and clutch . Bellhousing are ok to freight but flywheel and clutch are heavy so expensive to send overseas. Cheers Kelvin
I rarely use the W55 as they are too prone to breaking. I just sold a W series box. The green hilux ute has a W57 or W58 but thats coming out soon to get a R150. I did some footage of that job but it's sitting in my maybe file. Using the W series box however is very similar to doing a R 4x4. We use a bellhousing like in this video and the clutch / fly setup is the same.
That's a great question. I should have put a stock one into this video for comparison. The front onto the engine is the same but I think towards the gearbox they taper more. Ill try to get some photos and add them to my facebook page. The Cartune Company (2003) ltd. Whats your UZ in? Cheers
@@koreanjoey very cool cars. We have done a couple over the years. Ive taken some photos for comparison and will put them up on my Facebook page, The cartune company (2003) in next few days. Cheers
Hey Gavin is there a bellhousing available for the h series (55) gearboxes? I know why would I? Have very old landcruiser want to keep stick positions the same.
Hello. I used to carry a H series bellhousing but due to low demand don't any more sorry. I've tried really hard to keep some of those more unusual parts but that one fall away sorry. Where in the world are you located? I discussed a 40 series landcruiser conversion the other day with a guy. Will see if that one happens. Cheers Kelvin

@@CartuneNZ Sorry Kelvin got your name wrong. Thanks for the info Located? Not too far away Auckland. Any idea which H55 would be the most appropriate for a uz conversion?
Hi I am trying to put a 2uz from a 4runner v8 into an FJ cruiser that already have a six speed manual transmission any advice is that you could give me can you set up a full kit for that swap
Have you done many with adapter plates at all, looking at doing an ar5 box from a colarado into mine. Or if it was possible for you to do up a lot in this manner and what the cost would be including having it shipped to or Australia, or something along these lines be awesome to hear back from ya or where I could email chat further
Hello. AR5 aren't common over here so I dont use them. Very similar to the R series but slightly different. Guys in the states make adaptors for them. Cheers Kelvin
Please do a video of your clutch and flywheel setups next for the W and R series boxes. I'm really on the fence on how I want to adapt my UZ to the w58. I know you said your keen to the R series, but prices for the R boxes in the states has skyrocketed last couple years with everyone and their grandmas swapping JZ's into their cars and needing the stronger trans. People are asking $1200+ for broken R series now even. Plus I have an abundance of W58's. When your not busy and you get a chance Kelvin. Do you mind sending me a quote on your w58 bellhousing/clutch setup shipped to zip code 58301. If you wanna just shoot me a message on facebook that would be ideal. Thanks mate. Kelly
Its on the list. Im presently attempting to edit 10 days of supra. Day one and day 2 done(day two was boring) Day three looks better. I had a W box sitting there to feature in a video then sold it. Clutch and flywheel is on the list. It will feature in a few of my conversion videos coming up as well. Sorting overseas freight atm with the guy that owns the 47 ford. Its funny as a W57/58 is worth nearly as much as the R150 Rwd box over here atm. Man are the heaps of crap clutch setups in the USA. Cheers
Hey Kelvin, Phil & Hayden from Minnesota again. We gave up on finding a 77 Celica and purchased a 88 Supra Turbo manual R154 for our 3UZ swap. Where can I get a 195mm UZ to r154 bell housing? I sent you an email. Cheers!
@@CartuneNZ Thanks kelvin. How much of a deviation can cause significant vibrations. I am currently experiencing that but they are slightly intermittent, and only start at about 40kph. Gets worse, disappears up hills for a little, occurs regardless of it being in neutral with the clutch in or out.
I will add that to the list. 3Uz and 1UZ take the same bellhousing so that part is easy. I'm learning overseas markets ATM. We are lucky to get R154 easily over here so havent used the T56 much but they are a great option where they are available. I have a long list but will see what I can do. How much power you expecting to make?
Better is a subjective term. I like the late R150f(and R151F) however the stock transfer goes to the Left instead of the early ones which go to the right. I do like the late boxes as they are newer however lots have still done heaps of km's. There were a few issues in the later ones so I think the early ones were slightly stronger however plenty of the old ones are now completely stuffed. I have a video I shot the other day on a early R151F(its in the editing phase atm) If we really want to put some power through them we fit up the Marlin crawler kit with upgraded thrust washer , centre bearing retainer and 3-4 shift fork. The 2009 hilux with the LS1 delivered 350RWhp and 320all wheel hp to the ground through a later R series box.
CartuneNZ thanks for the great response. I was just wondering because 91 r150f and I found a later tranny and I didn't know if the input shaft length was more desirable in one or the other
@@rylan7114 I think I touched on the input shaft length in my gearbox video too. Should be done in next week or so. Most are the same however there is one rare one which is long.
Check out the video coming on the 03 hilux preparation. Gearbox features in both the engine prep and body prep. If I get time Ill do one just on gearbox too. Cheers

How would I be able to tell If my bellhousing isn't properly square to the input shaft after I've already fitted and test drove?
If there was massive vibrations, or if the input bearing failed would be indicators, otherwise pull the box and measure it accurately.
@@CartuneNZ Thanks kelvin. How much of a deviation can cause significant vibrations. I am currently experiencing that but they are slightly intermittent, and only start at about 40kph. Gets worse, disappears up hills for a little, occurs regardless of it being in neutral with the clutch in or out.

Best way is with a cnc scanner. Set up both bellhousing and gearbox and measure.
