Mazda Bseries truck with some TT gooness up front.
Hi all.
here is a new project I have been tinkering on. My B3000 , Bought it in running condition andfrom the get-go, could arguable not have been bothered less with the Ford v6 motor that came with it. What a POS that is.
SOOOO.....
replaced it with a 4l 32V 1UZFE
Obviously had to do something about the truck's brakes.
opted for a disk upgrade, also going with a set of Wilwood Dynalite 4-pot calipers, mainly because the OEM calipers can't handle the 310mm x 30mm thick disks.
The engine has been mated to a W58 Supra Gearbox, going through a 3 Plate Tilton clutch and a Custom made 6082 Aluminum Flywheel.
Project is almost ready for first start-up, just waiting on some goodies from across the pond.

got her to start finally.
had a bit of an issue figuring out how exactly to configure the ECU, in particular the ignition and injection outputs, for running it full sequential... as I'm what looks like the first to ever actually use one of these XMS5B's on a 1UZFE.
now it's on to sorting all the Gremlins...
first off, the damn water-pump, needs replacing.
This one is completely shot, gives me a steady 3drops per second leak.
Then I definitely need to get a bigger fan in, but space is a major hurdle up front. So far not able to find anything that can fit into 36mm worth of depth.
Closest to something big enough and powerful enough is this old original equipment Bosh unit. Lucky for me, I removed the AC and the pulley that sometimes are the hydraulic fan drive unit... so this one might just snugly fit in....
The two Big issues I hoped I would not have, Luckily I don't.
The Clutch is super soft and very very smooth, no jerking or jittering, in fact, it feel way more controllable than a std clutch. So that I'm very happy about.
and then the brakes. on the bit of a test run I took up the road, felt very nice and firm.
Boost seem to be coming in at around 2000Rpm's or there abouts... very responsive... I like that too... not tunes at all yet, so it can only get better from here on out....
but first new pump...
