Motec have released a 1UZFE specific ECU to be released in November.
Luckily Jaustech have secured one for my conversion.
Apparently its based around the Motec M4 ecu.
Two weeks till the bus is drivable.
There are concerns about the cooling system being efficient enough.
It is the usual under chasis set up. I have faith in the system. But any doubt isnt good at this stage.

copper = no corrosion...umm 
Steel works just as well with antifreeze. You can go alli or stainless if you have more money.
Great conversion. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
BTW, where did you get the car from? It has a Klaack's sticker on the back. I take my VWs to them in Sydney. I gather it's up for a paint at some
stage too eh?

Picked the car up from a guy in Cronulla in December '01. Then drove two days later to Adelaide.
I got ripped off, but i love her all the same, cant put a price on those memories and experiences.
She also has a sticker from a vw service depot in WA and another from NSW.
Yeah she is well in need of a little cancer treatment and a lick of paint.
Not going to go ahead with this until i decide if i want to keep her or scrap the body and go for a dual cab. Have always wanted a dual cab.

I heard her running last night.... T O U G H ! ! ! ! ! !
Tough as F##K
She is over heating while idling and thats with the thermos running flat out too.
So that needs to be fixed before they hand it back to me.
Most likely the thermostat

I keep dreaming about her every night and daydreaming all day too.
Under the body between the chassis rails. VL or VK 5ltr Radiator and twin fans pushing, with a hige arse vent channeling the air onto the radiator.
No way i could deal with mounting the radiator up front

Its at least another week yet until the tuner finishes with the bus. To be tuned next week.
There is a slight warp in the oil pan along the mating face which is causing sealing problems.
Its always this way when your excited about something.
It never gets here soon enough.

Yeah i called the old owner and grilled him about the conversion. He did almost all the work himself and used the original ECU.
I wouldnt jack up a dual cab. Each to there own.

I got my bus back on Friday and cruised around a little in it.
It has so much power!!!!!! Fastest car i have owned yet.
Motec MLS ecu running engine. With the free flowing system and the easy breathing air intake id say she is making a little more than stock power.
Stock power being 191Kw at flywheel. She hasnt been dyno tuned because she is an auto, just tuned on the road.
The Auto trans works a treat. Smooth changes at good RPM levels. The aftermarket Oil cooler helps. Just needs a thermo fan to try and cool the oil a
little more. In the hot she tends to stay in gear and not change so well. Mind you she was geting a work out.
Will increase tyre and rim diameter to decrease RPM at highway speeds. Apparently she sits somewhere between 3500 to 4000rpm at 110Kph.
Need to upgrade the radiator thermo fans. Currently running Davies Craig and they just dont seem to be pushing enough air. Any sugestions for a good
high volume pushing fans?? The shroud makes a bit of drumming noise when the cross wind hits her, so that needs strenghtening.
The 2.25" stainless system is absolutely fantastic. With out a doubt the best sounding system i have ever heard on a street car. Can hardly hear it
when cruising or idling and as soon as you give it heaps, she just seems to open right up! Thats what you get from quality highflow cats and straight
through mufflers! Spend the money and get the results!!
Cruise control not working yet.
Getting the rear hatch fabricated. Once that is fitted i will be giving her some real highway road trips to stretch her legs and test out the set
up.
Also getting my gauge mounts fabricated so i can tell exactly what is happening with the engine.
Alternator is fingered and needs a rebuild. Fuel gauge is also fingeres, have already replaced the sender unit. Need to upgrade brakes!!!
Where can i store MPGs? Is there a free hosting site like photobucket to put these things on??
I will post some MPG footage so you can hear and see her.
