Once I have the gremlins worked out, I'll have two epsiodes on it! Life and work has kept me rather busy, so I want to make sure I have a video with the solution to the wiring issues I ran into.
@@twotone_ra6558 the yoink is an industry-standard test, y'know. 🤨 Sounds good! One difference I can think of for the 1UZFE if you go standalone is that you'll need a different IACV stepper motor so that the ECU can properly control it.
@@winguard96 well, the 4age is WAY less complicated (I believe/hope) than the 1UZ, so the things I’m worried about with wiring is length, routing, and connecting the gauge cluster.
@@twotone_ra6558 it definitely is, there are way fewer sensors and going standalone simplifies a lot of the control circuits in place in the original car. Part Two of the wiring guide will help provide some insight into what connections you'll have access to under the dash, which could be helpful for your swap, so keep an eye out! 😄
So extremely informative and HELPFUL!!!! Thank You. Can’t wait to see the next one. Doing my own UZ swap into an 81 Corolla I have. I’ve watched your videos a ton of times. Keep up the great work.
@@winguard96 wow! Still on the wiring? I’m sure it’s very detailed! That’s good! Great info for ppl to know for their swap!! Looking forward to them !!
Try not to ever cut the wires, u can destroy the brittle old plug and it doesn’t matter, it’s much more reliable to reuse the factory terminals. I think he couldn’t get the terminals apart is cause you need to remove the safety catches, then the wire and factory terminals will be ready to install in your new plug
It’s a noise suppressor, the injectors use a really high frequency signal that you would hear through the speakers, it’s so annoying u couldn’t drive the car in most cases. This suppressors neutralize the frequency
You'll find differences between model years. 1984 and 1985 will definitely not be exactly the same, 1983 and 1984 may be very similar. But between the same model year RA64 and RA65, there will not be any changes.
Sweet. Since I watching the wiring part of the video, I feel confident I can do it. I have a 1984 Toyota Celica GTS that I’ve been dreaming to V8 swap! Thanks for the great videos and the details in them are amazing!
Only for now. I have had no time to edit or really troubleshoot my car. One I have her running for SURE, I will post more episodes. I don't want to leave the audience without a solution to the issues I ran into.
@@winguard96 Hey man any update to the project lately? How many miles were on your 1UZ when you got it from the junk yard? I'm still looking for an engine for my Celica, and I saw a 1991 Lexus LS400 with minor front passenger side collision with 171k miles. I was thinking that anything under 200k should be ok, but what do you think? Is that too high for the swap?
No updates currently as I am handling other life priorities. The engine has 182k, which isn't a small amount, but should be fine for these motors. Side impact donor vehicle sounds fine, there's a good chance the motor is okay.
@@winguard96 I totally understand the life priority part. not to mention this is a HUGE project! Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can get the car and pull the engine then. Looking forward to your next video! Take care!

Me: There is surely no way there is a proper guide for wiring an RA64 with a 1UZ swap.
Celica man: Hold my copper.
This comment receives the award for topkek 🤓
You are goated for this my man
@cuylerstoyotasoarer716 checking in, very nicely edited 👌 quality stuff, now put a 1uz in my celica ❤️
you sir are a savior, i was freaking out over my harness!! you eased my mind, thank you
Part 2 please! Great video content. Keep up the great work!!

“Give it a test by yoinking it.”
The route I’m going with is a bit different than yours since I’m going with a stand-alone ECU, but this is good information!

@@winguard96 I can’t wait!
Hoo wee! Now I have no excuses, thanks for the guide!
Get 'er done!! 😤
How is it going? Whuld love a update. Just went out and checkt on my Stock 1983 Celica GT for the first time in a few years. Need a new alternator.
Thanks a lot, I may be doing something like this for my 85!

Bro excellent job! Very informative and well done
Awesome work!! Love your videos, keep them coming!! Looking forward to seeing you fire up your Celica!!
I'm still editing Part 2!! It's almost two hours long... think I might break it up into two parts.
@@winguard96 wow! Still on the wiring? I’m sure it’s very detailed! That’s good! Great info for ppl to know for their swap!! Looking forward to them !!
@@winguard96 Do you have an IG page as well? I want to give you some props!
thanks for the update! ive been following the build. Love the content
Thank you!! Part two coming soon, I have strong crank but lack of spark. Debugging everything I can.
Excellent video my friend 🎯👌🏼🤙🏼
Thanks brother!! 💪
Awesome video! Thanks again for the write up/video’s !! Super good work to document this
Thank you so much! Keep an eye out for part two; I'm working under the dash as we speak (type)! 😄
Amazing
Awesome content!!! Thanks so much. Dig the stache
Hey I dont know if you follow him already on youtube but CarTuneNZ can be alot of help, he's a 1UZ guru especially if they are manual swapped
yep, I've purchased his instructions and notes!
@slowCarSalon Did you ever find a solution to haveing an idler in place of the pump?
Yes, I had XAT Racing make a custom billet aluminum idler pulley for me. I'll make a video on it later once the wiring issues are solved.
Try not to ever cut the wires, u can destroy the brittle old plug and it doesn’t matter, it’s much more reliable to reuse the factory terminals. I think he couldn’t get the terminals apart is cause you need to remove the safety catches, then the wire and factory terminals will be ready to install in your new plug
That one connector that you didnt know what it was, I think its for excessive radio static noise.
Good call, it's the noise filter for the injectors!
It’s a noise suppressor, the injectors use a really high frequency signal that you would hear through the speakers, it’s so annoying u couldn’t drive the car in most cases. This suppressors neutralize the frequency
i'm no where near yet, but can I send you my wiring harness get it done for me..i'll pay?
I didn’t recognize you. Did you do something with your hair?
Something about a face decoration, perhaps. 😆
Lmao
Subbed
Thank you!
I wonder if the ra65 harness is the same, cause I really would love to have double wishbone rear haha
You'll find differences between model years. 1984 and 1985 will definitely not be exactly the same, 1983 and 1984 may be very similar. But between the same model year RA64 and RA65, there will not be any changes.
Part 2?!?!?
Just sitting in the editing state right now... didn't want to post an update without the car running, but maybe I need to. I need help lol.
Where is the rest of the video?
On the way, the editing is taking me a while. It's a long video with a lot of details.
Sweet. Since I watching the wiring part of the video, I feel confident I can do it. I have a 1984 Toyota Celica GTS that I’ve been dreaming to V8 swap! Thanks for the great videos and the details in them are amazing!
Any updates on this?
Not yet sadly.
Any updatez?
None yet. Life priorities in the way currently. Also replaced all cam and crank angle sensors with no difference, so I need to dig some more...
I'm first comment. Cool video man
And the first comment award goes to you! Thanks. :)
Yes winning 💪
The electrical side of the 1uz swap was the thing I was worried about the most so thank you so much for making this video.
i am not a fan of this aluminium foil... XD
Yes haha, now with a bit more industry experience under my belt, I realize I could have used proper EMI shielding tape!
Does this conclude the series? 🥲
Only for now. I have had no time to edit or really troubleshoot my car. One I have her running for SURE, I will post more episodes. I don't want to leave the audience without a solution to the issues I ran into.
