HendoZ Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well here's the build thread on my little 240Z. Plans are a 1UZFE engine. Everyone knows that this motor never came manual. Thats the biggest obsticle I'm facing right now. All kinds of kits are made to make this motor manual. I decided to be different. I decided on a Z33 6 speed. mainly because I got a hell of a deal on a 08 trans. Its the CD009 revision. The big bad trans thats supposed to hold 1000 horse. My next problem is mounts... http://www.1uzfeswapkit.com/Steel-UHMW-Mount-for-the-1UZFE-MkIII-Supra-Engine-PAIR-0000-0007.htm I came up with using mounts made to put a 1uzfe into a mk3 supra. You switch them around and it BOLTS UP to the 240z crossmember. I didnt plan to use these because they came with the motor i bought. but they will work. I have big plans in store for this 240 and there is much much more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Whisky Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Interested in some info about that trans/block adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Cool project! How is header clearance to the frame and to the steering shaft? How are you mounting the 6-speed? Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is header clearance to the frame and to the steering shaft? How are you mounting the 6-speed? Keep it up! Info on the trans to block adaptor can be found through swap1uz.com i purchased the adapter from Brett. Really good guy to work with very prompt on response. Header clearance is beautiful will be maintaining the stock exhaust manifolds. and ill be making a custom mount for the trans to rest on using the transmission's stock location.

Very nice, I'm loving this project! I really like that the mounts and adapter can be sourced, makes things a little easier. Sounds like it fits better than a VH45, too. Also it's a plus that the Z33 6-speed fits in the tunnel without cutting/modifications. How's the shifter location looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HendoZ Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 well youll have to cut the 240z trans mounts out to make room but you shouldnt have to cut them very much. i completely took them out. for good measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, I thought you meant you were keeping the stock mounts on the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HendoZ Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 B&M short shifter is in front bumper is being prepped and painted for a sating finish. Fender flares are on the way. Need to get my shifter support welded up. Also waiting on more parts from Swap1uz.com If anyone has any question. Feel free to ask. I'm sure ill run into more problems along the way but thats what projects like these are for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HendoZ Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Pics of the shifter position? Still waiting to get it welded up. its the same set up that austin hoke is running on his vq swap car. its about 4.5" shorter than stock.

Bpohlman13 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 How is the clearance between the engine and fire wall using those mounts? Is it pretty close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HendoZ Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) How is the clearance between the engine and fire wall using those mounts? Is it pretty close? Clearance is pretty good all around. I'd say close to 65% of the motor is behind the strut towers. and sits a good enough distance away from the firewall to be able to unbolt the trans from the top if I wanted.

ihiryu Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 A few guys on club lexus have been doing the six speed swap. The biggest problem is shifter position (of course this isn't a big deal on our S30's really) and speed signal. Apparently the signal from the Z33 comes from the ABS sensors rather than a sensor on the transmission. I wish I had a UZ in my Z now, but a manual supercharged SC400 is more than enough for me I'm using a W58 on my SC though. Oh! For the driveshaft people are using the yoke for a nissan titan. If need be I can link you to the thread on Club Lexus. I did the wiring on my MA70 when I did my 1UZ swap. The wiring portion is a bit easy, doesn't take much to get her running.

ihiryu Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) sure not a problem, what wiring do you have though? Just the engine wiring? If I remember correctly, you're going to need the plugs that go to the fuse box as well. I used a SC400 harness and mated to my 7m harness.

ihiryu Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) Okay, I looked at a few things I have from when I did the swap. http://imageshack.us/a/img685/4695/199719871uzfesuprawirin.png First save this image, you'll need the plugs EB1, EB2, and and IJ2. To get the car to run: You need switched power to EB2. This is a black and orange wire.You need switched power to EB2. This is a black and red wireYou need switched power to IJ2. This is a black and orange wire.You need constant power to EB1. This is a black and yellow wireTo start you need to supply "start" power to EB2(1) which is a black wire. This information is both from SuperRunner (whom I got the flywheel for) and Chambers from supramania. This will get the car to run, you'll have to figure out the fuel pump wiring though. On the SC400 it uses a fuel pump ecu to power the fuel pump. So pretty much use the ECU output to a relay, and fuel pump power. That should be to get the car up and running.

HendoZ Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 kudos sir!! I'll copy that and print it all out. Very helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihiryu Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Not a problem, on my Z when I did my RB20 swap, I pulled switch power from the ignition switch. However, since you are combining three of them you may want to run an external relay. I would run the relay out to engine bay, and tap a wire from the ignition switch to the relay. So relay wiring would be: 85 -> ground 86 -> Ignition switch 87-> Battery 30-> Three wires from EB2 and IJ1 The start harness will be coming from the factory lower harness. Keep in mind the factory lower harness has the oil pressure, starter signal and something else important in there (I think the water temp?). So you'll swap over your oil pressure sensor to the UZ's location. And the starter signal will go to Black wire on EB2. This of course is from my 280Z, I don't know how it be different it will be on your chassis. Also, on my car the fuel pump wiring was under the passenger seat. You'll have to find the fuel pump wiring and wire up a relay there too. If I remember correctly the ECU should output a GROUND signal. So you're relay will be pinned out the same with the exception of 85 and 86. 85 will be switch 12v or constant 12v and 86 will be from the ECU, and 30 will go to fuel pump power. That's how I would do anyway, in theory this should fire up. However I have to put a disclaimer that you'll want to verify my work, and if your car or yourself has damages then it's all on you. -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
