Arrived today Steve. Spot on! This will do the trick nicely :D Thanks again mate.

Amazing :D Thanks for your generosity! Have PM'd my details. I'm based near Milton Keynes. Am hoping to have the car running fully this year so it would actually be very handy for someone who is familiar with how 1UZ's should run to get a feel for mine to see if it's performing as it should. The guys I used to fit the motor and wire it did such a bad job it was beyond belief. If it wasn't for the help of a friend who is extremely knowledgable about cars and electrics my car would've been a breaking thread. Almost everything that I paid to have done had to be checked and redone on my driveway. I now know more about cars and electrical diagrams than I ever have and it's been very satisfying to figure the puzzles out when they have been a persistent hold up. Thanks Mike

Hello I'm trying to track down a particular reservoir that bolts directly onto the PS pump. Turns out the LS400 91-97 is the model that has this! I'm running a VVTi engine and have a non standard turret mounted reservoir that is in the way for when I re-design the intake (again). The motor just doesn't seem to be happy with the twin intake using a MAF sensor so I'm going to build one that is much closer to the original design. I can't use the OEM one as the airbox doesn't fit in the bay of my Supra. I have the VVTi reservoir that I went to the trouble of having polished before realising it mounts onto the resonator box that I'm not going to use.. RESERVOIR SUB-ASSY, VANE PUMP OIL Part: 44306-50010 Thanks Mike

Thanks Steve, will give him a nudge :)

Mine arrived the other day from Yodel also. Brand new, in a plastic bag etc. Unfortunately it covers the older 1997 ECU and not the changeover to VVTi later on in the same year. The gamble didn't pay off this time so we'll have to use the 1998 diagrams and ignore the colour coding.. I'm going to send it back to the US for a refund unless anyone wants it here? £20 delivered to you? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400586046976

Evening all Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have already trawled Lextreme, V-eight and checked Oldskool as thoroughly as I could. The problem I have is that from 98 onwards the documentation is available at several places, mine is a 97 and has the ECU has differences to the 98 diagrams. We have the 98 pinout diagrams and are seeing if we can use them with a little help from Cartune.NZ who have already done the security delete on my ECU. I've ordered this manual from the States. Taking a chance on whether it will provide data for my engine or not. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=400586046976 My Supra already has a 1994 V8 1UZFE. It was converted by the previous owner as a project as the NA 2JZ had blown. Don't know exactly why, but there was a bolted on turbo involved.. Anyway, the same guy who built my car started another project with the 1UZ VVTi but abandoned it. The sump has already been swapped over with a Soarer one as the LS400 sump doesn't clear the Supra chassis. Bit more power/torque/efficiency and my Rush headers will fit straight back on. ;)

Munday, you wouldn't happen to have or know where in the UK to get the ECU pinout diagrams for a 1997 1UZ VVTi would you? I'm currently fitting this engine into my Supra. My ECU has already had the immobilsor security bypassed by Cartune NZ, just need to get the pinout diagrams for the ECU and the gearbox to start matting it all to the Supra. I did contact Faxon about their 1997 manual and if it covered the VVTi but the response was a little vague. "The book refers to the engine wiring as just that and not by engine model." http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/1997-Lexus-LS-400-Wiring-Diagram-Manual-Original-P18896.aspx
