Scott-tt Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I had a wee rake about Google and on the site for this but couldn't really answer my question. I've got what used to be a J-spec TT auto 1995 and I've put into it a V8 1uz and auto box out of a 199? soarer (old one non VVTI). The engines in their I've ran the big load of wires through the bulk head and plugged the ECU in and now I have no clue what to do I know vaguely but not enough to proceed with confidence. There are some cut earth wires also. I also have a backup V8 1uz from an LS400 with every wire from the whole car sitting this was remove from a running car with autobox and igniters etc. My question is if I was to approach an auto electrician do you think they'd accept the job to get it running or would I be struggling or looking at a bill of more than the cars worth? Any info much appreciated I've owned this car for about 6 months now and still never turned a wheel under its own steam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, what were you thinking?! Second you're gonna want to take it to someone who's experienced in engine conversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott-tt Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 The nuts and bolts bit was easy I'm good at that sort of thing, but then came electrical stuff. I always look at other peoples build threads and think that looks easy... Well it isn't!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Lol it never is! Im rubbish at electrics so I use the old motto 'discretion is the better part of valour' and get someone else to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I had to fit a tt auto loom into a 6 speed loom to get my conversion up and running it took hours of wiring diagrams and checking and double checking. So I feel your pain. There was a member on here (UGP aka Ben) who could make you a plug and play loom adapter for 1uz engine-2jz body but he got banned. Ask sunny SPG to contact him on mkivGroup as he is still on there I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 What about speaking to Ryan, he built one and offered a conversion service he might have some good tips for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) What you are trying to do is match the wires from the Soarer ECU to the body loom of the Supra, so at the very least you'll need the ECU pin outs for the two cars. IIRC there was some pretty detailed wiring information for a UZZ31 engine into JZA80 conversion on v-eight.com (or possibly Toymods). .
