- The Cartune Company (2003) Ltd in New Zealand does 1uz and 3uz conversions / parts and wiring. We have been working on UZ Toyota V8 engines since 2004 when we did our own Hiace van to transport dirtbikes around NZ. Since then we have swapped to doing mainly just Lexus V8 work from a family owned farm hidden away in our paradise , surrounded by the NZ native bush. We sell parts and simple to follow wiring instructions for the 1uzfe engines. For enquiries email info@thecartunecompany.co.nz Take Care. Kelvin
Gotta love a V8 van. They should come like this from the factory.
A v8 van is part of the reason I'm here. Toyota did do a few v8 hiace as an ambulance. I have a customer with one.
They did come like this from the factory. Except it was only for ambulances in Japan!
So much more room to work with than the Delica. Being able to get at the rear of the engine in-situ is so good :-o
Definately more room at the rear with the access plate. Hiace seem tight but after doing a few they aren't that bad , and have good access underneith. Cheers
Very useful Kelvin, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
We used to have the hiase van in the usa the engine was awesome but they use to have a lot of brake problems on a hard braking you could get the rear tires of the ground and do a endo like a motorcycle
All these light in the bum vehicles the drivers have to be careful on heavy braking. Cheers Kelvin
Oh, and OF COURSE(!) thank you soooo much for watching my video where I cooked and ate that crocodile! Hahahaha!
It warms my cockles, to know that you were watching me do that! Cheers! =)
cool as. you are helping me with wiring with something interesting while I do the boring bits of the loom. Cheers
😆🤣"Normally its little boxes getting inserted into". I see what you did there.
haha, Im frequently trying to slip one in. Cheers Kelvin
Do you find any performance issues with the extended plenum tube to the throttle body with a stock ECU? Dropping the 1UZ in my LH129 as we speak. Thanks for all the helpful vids!
I need this done to my 2005 Hiace, Nothing to do with power but just a nice little rumble makes life better.
We will have a video of the later model hiace at some point as there is one booked in to sort
@@CartuneNZ you done any later models like a 11
05-15 is all pretty much the same, I think we have done a few 12s, and a couple of 14s. To me they are all the same process anyway
Do you think this could be done with a 2uz and 4x4 gearbox in a 4wd hiace?
Keeping up the good work, I see! =)
Thanks. I'm blown away its possible to by crocodile nuggets. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ They're Aussie, though! If I can get them in Vancouver, surely, they're available in NZ, no?
@@Maplecook I'd have to check in some of the speciality stores. Not something I've seen while doing normal though.
@@CartuneNZ Bingo! There ya go, eh! I am the king of, "not normal," or at least that's what my dad always used to say...hahaha
I got my uzed into the car and everything hooked up only to find I didn’t drop the torque converter in and Twist properly on to tranny, and now it moves but won’t go faster then 10mph. Good thing is it’s only a $450 mistake as the junkyards have Em around. I Wanted to punch my self in the nads for that one.
hopefully you sort it soon. Its a more common mistake than most people know. Cheers Kelvin
Nice work! Have you ever done this conversion on a 4wd model? Foresee any issues with that?
We have done quite a few 4x4 Hiace vans. No issues for us. Cheers Kelvin
Kelvin, looking good! btw- I did a computer side job and got paid with 5kg of ground venison and some deer sausage... Who needs cash?
sounds like a good deal to me. Cheers Kelvin
Hey mate, I want to swap a 1UZ in my hiace too please tell me in details and the cost of This whole project. But can you tell me how to lower my kzh106 too? Like what brand is suspension should I use and other stuff like that
The Hiace engine bay looks bigger than I had thought. Would it be possible to fit a 1UZ with a turbo or supercharger in there or would that make things tighter than they should be?
Ive done both turbo and supercharged hiace. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ Thanks for the quick response. Have you done diesel builds as well? I recently imported a '97 Hiace into the states and am kinda torn between going 1uz or keeping it diesel. So would a 1KD-FTV from a newer Hiace also fit?
Nice job you're doing.
1. Does LS400 have manual transmission? If no, what manual transmission system did you use, and from what vehicle pls?
2. What pressure plates, etc are you using and from what vehicle?
Thanks.
No factory manuals available for any 1uz powered cars. When I do a hiace swap I avoid the small G55 hiace gearbox and instead use the R350 out of a suitable model hiace, in this case the same shape has this hiace, using the flywheel and clutch setup which I stock and sell myself. Its a specific 1uz manual swap pressure plate.
Hey Kelvin Google dodge A108 van. Thats what I'm putting a 1uz into long with soarer suspension
Cool stuff. Looks like a tight fit. You might be interested in the VW Kombi getting a 1uz close to us. Cheers Kelvin
Love your work 👍👍 these Headers what Are they from. Would they fit a ls 400 Lhd. I can do modifi myself, but woud be Nice too have some to start with 👍😎
They are headers of my own design. They can be made to fit the LS400 by starting with our unwelded set like we did on this van and then tweaking to suit the LS. One pipe needs changing around the steering and on they go.
Oohh Nice. 👍
How much for the unwelded set 😁
@@Ibs2555 in nz dollars atm $750nzd. This is about $540usd. Plus freight. Cheers Kelvin
hey there what's your veiw on inter chillers .do you think one of these uzfe would push a xjs coupe along ok
I think they are really interesting but I havent had a chance to play with one yet. Cheers Kelvin

I got a 1993 hiace van I’m looking to engine swap how much roughly would it cost
Depends on details and options are chosen, which engine, auto or manual etc etc. Email details of both your van and details of conversion to info@thecartunecompany.co.nz if you want an estimate. Cheers Kelvin
How long would a conversion like this take?
All labour I expect around 200-250 hours to my standards
👍👍👍🇰🇿🇰🇿🇰🇿
Do you know if this swap fits in the Earlier model vans?
Yes, we have done the 1982-1988 shape vans too
@@CartuneNZ Wicked. i want to do
How much does it cost for a Toyota hoaxes v8 swaps ??
Too many options to price here and will depend on where in the world you are. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ I’m in whangarei New Zealand
ok. Maybe email me details of your hiace and what you want included and I can give an estimate. Include which version of engine you want, manual or auto , management etc etc. Info@thecartunecompany.co.nz Cheers Kelvin
