v8 to manual conversion? Mon, 18 October 2004 21:14 Go to next message
Curious if anyone has seen a toyota 48 put to a manual trans other than the millen car (the is430). Im interested in using a 1uz for a upcoming project but i'd want to put a manual transmission behind it. I heard you can use the flywheel from a 3.0 toyota truck with a 5speed, possibly that whole tranny. just wondering if anyone knew anything?

If you want to do it the cheap way use the auto bellhousing with 2 x 10mm aluminium plates - suits a 7M R154 eaxctly.
Can send photos of this if required.

ok, so second question, everyone who is doing this swap/conversion.. using stand alone computers? or is there a yota v8 that i could use a stock ecu. See, im in the usa, and to my knowledge the only way i could get a deal on the v8 and make it worth it monetarily is to pull one from a lexus ls400 (toyota celsior) that has been wrecked. and im pretty sure without the auto tranny the computer wont start the car. I had assumed I would have to use an aftermarket ecu, but i figure'd i'd ask. I know Trust makes a kit to use the e-manage. any info still greatly appreciated.

Also, id like to see those pics too. Majik16106@yahoo.com

You can always trick the factory ecu into thinking the auto is still there.
You just have to bridge a few wires, and wire up a few speed sensors.

Its quite easy all you have to do is put 12v to the neutral safty switch and the ecu will think its in neutral and rev away... Despite popular belief this does not put the engine into limp mode
