Hey Kelvin, I apologize if you mention this in the video and I just missed it - but how did you go about incorporating the 12v 3UZ system and wiring harness on the 24v 70 series body harness? Thanks!
Hi I'm jaywee from Brunei currently I have a lj79 with 2lt engine with original auto transmission I would like to put 1uz or 3uz in it but I have no Idea what should I need to change. Do I need to change both the axle and transmission do I need a conversion kit for the transmission and also the long shaft do I need to mod it as well?
Negitive. Way to long ago now. This station wagon is now a ute. Adaptors for the A650 are easy enough to buy these days. I have another on its way and have a video to be released soon on a A761 to landcrusier transfer. In stock I have a A650 to Gen 3 surf with the Left hand drop.
The owner fitted Mk5 VW golf seats. Since doing so he has found adaptors for holden commodore or falcon seats which he suggests would have been easier. Cheers Kelvin
Hello Christie. The owner installed the bullbar himself. He has done most of the mods on this truck himself and spent many days in the workshop helping me with the wiring too. Cheers.
Hey guys! I'm from Malaysia and I'm doing a similar swap to my landcruiser lj78. I'd like to ask what radiator are you guys running since the 3uzfe radiator is too big to fit the original position. Thanks a bunch!
Its been ages since I've seen this truck but the owner someones pops on here and answers questions. From my memory I think this one has the prado radiator and I'm fairly sure it has the hydraulic fan from the 1uz vvti fitted. Cheers Kelvin
Man you are a wizard.. how did you even get the ac to work and does that mean you got the dashboard with the whole ac assembly including the evaporator unit@@CartuneNZ
@kennedymutinda4806 ac is controlled using the aftermarket ecu, ac pump is the 3uz item, rest of the system is the LJ78 with some aftermarket sensors to modernise the ac setup
I get the 90 series swap contacts from oz frequently. The v6 90 series are interesting over there as in most states fell into a different category for getting them engineered due to the fact they struggled to pass the emission standards from new. This means most of the time no age restrictions on engines to fit to them. Its really all the same stuff any conversion needs. Cheers Kelvin
I think you are asking if the A650 output spine is the same as input spline as a vf series transfer case from 130 surfs and 70 series prado. The answer is no.
The induction noise off that snorkel is insane. Great build!
sure is. Hopefully we can go 4x4ing sometime to see what its like in the bush. Cheers Kelvin
Love this vehicle. Best of both worlds. Owners done a very nice job. Be a great touring vehicle
Owner has not finished, well he had, then started again, as you know now, the back fell off
I have the same Chinese lanterns in the back :)
Thanks for the video, I'm just thinking about the future swap of my 1kz-te and a343f
Needs a chunk of plexy with tint infront of the cluster too clean it up
This truck looks quite different now, like its now a ute as the back was chopped off.

I love it men.. 👌👌
i also have an auto KZJ78 was planning on using the stock a343 tranny would a 1uz fit with the proper bell housing? or which UZs are ideal?
can't I get a kit cpu wiring for me to do this swap in my lancrusier prado
Please tell me which bullbar , side steps and rear bumper is this?
@cartuneNZ do you sell the adapter to mate the a650 out from 3uz to the Prado transfercase
Hello. I have one being made at the moment for a video. Due early next year. Cheers Kelvin
I mean which brands bullbar is this?

I have the same LJ78 the diesel is asthmatic, very nice work.
And how can I get that link Thunder as I intend to convert it to a V8
I am a link ecu dealer so can supply the thunder otherwise a link dealer in your country. Cheers Kelvin.
Long shot but how was the transfer adapted to the a650, any photos?
Negitive. Way to long ago now. This station wagon is now a ute. Adaptors for the A650 are easy enough to buy these days. I have another on its way and have a video to be released soon on a A761 to landcrusier transfer. In stock I have a A650 to Gen 3 surf with the Left hand drop.
@@CartuneNZ cheers, anything for s 2nd gen RH drop?
can make big
review of this car?
This truck has been cut to pieces again so more videos are a long time away. Cheers Kelvin
How is the reliability of this gearbox?Which one is stronger this one or 761e? And which one will be better for bundera with diff ratio 4.88?
Still testing the reliability, its only been running in this truck for 15 years with no issues, so its too early to tell.
@@CartuneNZ hehe :) Thanks for the answer
hello sir, i saw the front seat is not oem from toyota. may i know what model you use?
The owner fitted Mk5 VW golf seats. Since doing so he has found adaptors for holden commodore or falcon seats which he suggests would have been easier. Cheers Kelvin
can u swap a 1VD-FTV into a lj78...and does it involve major chassis fabrication?
No I'm not interested in diesel swaps as I specialize in petrol v8s.
I would like to see, how did you install that bullbar
Hello Christie. The owner installed the bullbar himself. He has done most of the mods on this truck himself and spent many days in the workshop helping me with the wiring too. Cheers.
@@CartuneNZ Thanks
Hi Maquiti, it's an ARB bar for a 75 series, will bolt up but have lifted mine 90mm on the mounts to suit 40mm body lift and different front to 75
With the a650 is it possible to have torque converter lockup in 1st and 2nd gear?
We had one which we had the valve body modified to allow 2nd gear lockup so with suitable mods yes. Then we fitted a manual lock up switch.
Man!I like it!
its a very cool truck. Cheers Kelvin

Hi ned I am malaysian too. I am planning to do the swapping. Can I have ur contact so I can ask u some question
Which prado transfer case.... And it the 4x4 electrionic?
A prado transfer case. Its been a while since Ive seen this one but I think it was the vacuum engagement transfer. Cheers Kelvin
How are the standard 8" differentials holding up.
Just fine for the last 10 years. Auto vehicles tend to be much more gentle on diffs. Cheers Kelvin
Have stripped one crown wheel, but that was subjected to shitty situation and abuse in reverse, other than that no worries on the drivetrain
How abt u cme n modify mine...in Uganda...
Could this be done to a 90 series currently running a 3rz?
absolutely. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ thanks for the reply. Very interested in doing this in the near future. Hope to get in touch through your website shortly.
where is the panel installed
Sorry which panel are you referring to?
Where can I get your paid wiring Instructions
Flick us an email at info@thecartunecompany.co.nz and we can sort after our Christmas new year break
how you managed to put v8 in small prado chassis?
Hello. The prado chassis is small but not as small as the 2wd hilux chassis. Done a few prado now. Cheers Kelvin
What about the axles and the gearbox is it the same
Hi how are you doing, what engine do i fit if it were to modify
Hello. Depends on how you wish to modify and your budget. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ What if I put 1hz or 1hdfte motor,can I use the same transmission
If using a 1hz I would use the trans from behind the 1hz to make it easier.
@@CartuneNZ What about the bell housing, does it need to be changed or not, coz I don't have any knowledge 🤣🤣
If you use a complete motor and transmission setup from the donor and transplant the whole unit then it should be straightforward. Cheers
May I know Where do you buy those headlight?
The customer supplied them so I'm not sure where he got them sorry. At a guess they might have been from Ali-express . Cheers
@@CartuneNZ Ohhhh cool, thanks.
Giggity giggity :)
What dashboard r u using? Fjcruiser?
This one got a VZJ79 dashboard fitted with a AiM strada display cluster. Cheers Kelvin
Man you are a wizard.. how did you even get the ac to work and does that mean you got the dashboard with the whole ac assembly including the evaporator unit@@CartuneNZ

Autu tans is for grandma’s😝
yep, but sometimes in the bush the autos beat the manuals. Ive always been a manual guy, but my next truck will also be an auto. Cheers Kelvin

Hi Kelvin would love to get in touch about doing the same swap into a Prado 90 series. Located in Perth cheers

Curious as to which Prado transfer case was used in this case to retain the A650e with 4x4
@@MrShanilicious the one off the stock LJ78 prado auto. Its not a straight bolt over. Theres a custom adaptor involved.
Is the spline the same in lj78 transfer case and Hilux/4Runner cases?
I think you are asking if the A650 output spine is the same as input spline as a vf series transfer case from 130 surfs and 70 series prado. The answer is no.
what prado lol
Very, very, very good!
Thanks. Its a pretty cool truck and the guy uses it properly too, as you can see.
Dis is 1 uz
This has a 3uz fitted. Cheers Kelvin.
