Hey guys this is my 1uz powered maverick. i havent had a chance to go playing with it yet as im still ironing out bugs with certain things such as clutch and leaking sump but it goes great with the little 4lt motor. i also have a m90 supercharger im putting on after i get everything else sorted.
Im aiming for 300hp atw when im done.
its running all the factory patrol gear behind the flywheel. it currently has a lsd in the rear but i have a factory locker i might put in later.

loom was not too bad had a couple of things give me a little trouble but was pretty simple really.
as far as lego well its really a nissan with ford badges, toyota motor, falcon rad hoses, corolla brake booster hoses, mack truck inlet hose, gu 3" tail pipe, gen 3 throttle cable, mazda injectors, and soon a ford thunderbird supercharger with a aftermarket intercooler. I like lego lol hahahaha.
havent dynoed it yet but will be soon im pulling g-box out this weekend to build a new sump and fix the clutch then itl go on the dyno. ( the father inlaw has one )
but yea even standard it boogies. i overtook a van goin 85 up a hill the other day and was doin $1.20 by the time i pulled back in, i can only imagine what he was thinking as it flew past.
quick update took gearbox out today i think ive sorted the clutch but cant tell as i pulled the sump off ready to build a new one. so after getting clutch fixed i put the box back on. more importantly as people may be keen to know before i did all this i put her on the dyno just to see how it goes. it didnt go as good as i hoped but the supercharger will fix that. it made 174 rwhp at 393nm of torque in 4th gear. not bad for a starter.
hahaha ok first the 1uz motor are a pretty solid motor 6 bolt mains and happy to rev high all day long. plus being all alloy there very light so makes the mav about 150kgs lighter.
i originally had a gq with a tb42 went as good as they go stock was reliable and drove nice but had heaps of rust i was gonna fix up. now being a guy that loves his v8's i always wanted to put a v8 in it but then this mav came up with the 1u already sitting in it ( dont get me wrong there was still stacks to do to finish it ) and it had very little rust so i bought it and spent the next 6 months finishing it. so in answer to your question the td was already gone or i would have left it diesel. In my opinion for a 4wd its either a v8 or a diesel or both ;-). id just like to add that dyno run was in 4th gear and went from 30kph to 180kph and it was still reving. it also considering being a toyo motor makes pretty good torque from nothing which surprised me.
