1UZ Crown wiring questions Thu, 17 June 2004 11:24 Go to next message
I know someone who is fitting a 1UZ from a Crown somethingoruther into a Cressida.
What I want to know is will the ECU bitch about stupis things that are missing? ABS, Traction control?
Also whats the go with the fan in this crown? Hydraulic? Confused

hi
it sounds a alot like a 2jzgte jap half cut aristo [gs300]
I've been told that if u run a after market ecu that u must also use the original ecu so that the auto box runs sweet as well .
this involves wireing up resistrs and caps to trick the original ecu into thinking that the motor is fine therefore keeping the box in run mode not limp mode[get me home safe]
this idont hnow for sure but will soon find out when i get to thatbit

The plan is to use the standard ECU, but i'm just worried about the ABS and traction control.

speak with sideshow....when he wired up his hilux he found a few issues but, nothing that couldn't be overcome (re: the abs and traction control module)

and yeah my fan on the front of my 1UZ is the hydraulic variety - no thermo fan that i'm aware of.

Sweet ok.
So how does the fan run? I mean is there a pump on the engine or something else? Can the pump be removed? I think a conventional thermo fan will be used the Cressida, too much hassle to use the hydro fan me thinks.

hey cool1

its not a prob if if u dont run the abs /traction ecus


if u run the auto u will need to wire up the abs ecu or u can get a signal divider
im doin tests on mine at the moment

but the crown ecus are a bitch to wire up perfect

i am doin tests on mine and soon i can sell u the dividers at the correct settings
if they work on my hilux
i can give some info out but not alot

as im sick of givin shit out and makin no money for it
sorry but this is mu everyday business and if i give too much out it will hurt me in the future

but my 1uz crown v8 with 2 ecus runs perfect now
i do also have the abs ecu fitted but soon i hope to get rid of it and replace it with an electronic device once i do more tests

for me to wire up a crown with both ecus would usually cost over 1000 bucks once u buy the signal dividers and other parts
so as u can see its not a job u can do in a day

I drove Sideshow's ute on the weekend and can vouch for the signal divider, it does a great job of cleaning up the auto's shift pattern.

I'll be buying one when he gets them sorted out, my auto is driving me nuts.

You will have no issues at all if you choose to go manual. Hook up about 4 wires and you're off.

If you choose to run the auto, the only issues will be the speed sensor signals.

Cambelt and I played with his intact halfcut. The purple and white wire provides the engine and auto ECUs with a 1 pulse per tailshaft revolution signal. We think the black and orange wire going to the auto ECU carries a 4 pulse per revolution signal but will confirm this if someone can supply us with a CRO.

You only need one of these signals for the auto to shift properly, but of course the engine light will come on and when you do diagnostics, it will spit out some codes for the speed sensor (I think they are codes in the 60s?).

There is a long thread I started about a month or 2 ago about this. Grant (Sixworks) provided extremely useful information and I posted a series of pics showing how to modify the auto to produce the one pulse per revolution signal. For you Sydneysiders and further north, Sideshow sells the 4 pulse per revolution signal generators that plug into the speedo drive for about $150. Here in Melbourne, Ringwood Speedos sell them for about $120-130.

the fan is the same as the ones on most RWD mounted engines (like 4AGE) it just bolts to the pulley on the waterpump. there is nothing fancy about it just has a hydraulic clutch in it (same as the v8 fans on the old commodores) which basically spins it slower/faster depending on RPM - no wires, pumps or pipes going to it.

Grega, you mean viscous coupling. 'Hydraulic' sends the fear of God into some people - they think of the 1JZ Soarer engines and their hydraulic pump arrangement.

The hydraulic fan could be useful in some tight fitting applications.

Shane, what model Cressida?
If its an MX83, then just source the ABS gear from the 91-92 Grandes (I think thats all that came with ABS), and then you'll have ABS and Traction Control for the UZ too.

May well be worth a look.

Thanks for the informaton. I'm sure once the wiring gets started there will be more questions.
Grega, The fan I am talking about is not what you are talking about. This fan is mounted on the radiator and has to hoses going to it.

Grega the engine in question doesn't have that type of fan. Also something small but maybe significant, the engine in question has a Toyota badge on the top of it whereas your has a V8 badge.

hey gianttomato

the abs signal is the proper one for th eauto to change gears

the signal form the speedo to both ecus is the backup signal

it will change gears on the backup signal but it wont be accurate

ive had mine from one extreme to another
from to early to to late changes


another prob is

if u get the speedo drive correct to get the speedo accurate then u have to hope that the signal is correct that goes to the ecus
this is the biggest dilema of runnin the auto of this signal from the speedo
u can only get one right either speedo or auto changes
unless u fluke it

to get the auto to change gears correctly by that i mean about 90 to 95 % correct my speedo was out

autos are a pain in the arse to get right

the way i have mine now is the speedo runs of elect speedo drive thru a ratio box to get correct

then the abs sensor thru another computer to the auto ecu
it uses this signal to change gears

it stil has the speedo drive signal to the auto ecu
but that signal makes the auto change gears on the redline after 2 or 3 seconds of redlining hehehe

but with the boxes im goin to get u can adjust them and control where the gear changes are
like a econ/power switch but much more adjustments

Sideshow, the jigery/buggery box your making, will it allow the dumping of the abs ecu?

Thats sort of a personal question... JK

Seriously though I would be interested to see how this thing works...
If its just a pulse frequency divider / multiplier it would be quite simple to make!

well i buy the boxes

and i just set them to a certain spec

i just make about 15% on the price

just so it covers all my research

at the moment i havnt had time to test it without abs

no time to do things when yr booked 2 weeks in advance

but at the moment its running perfect

i have ordered a workshop manual for my crown too

it all in japanese but the pics should help

hope to get it soon

im not to sure but i think because i had no abs signal to auto ecu it might have been pinging
i only got it running righ tthe other day

so in a week or so ill let u knpow if the pinging is fixed and if it has better fuel economy

but now i get no check engine light or o/d light coming on telling me theres errors

the boxes are bout 200 bucks
by the time i go and get them and shit

but i will ask for a discount this time if i buy them in bulk
