I think I was the first person to run a 1uz on Megasquirt with completely stock ignition and injection systems actually. After all of that work (which probably cost me less than a set of nice M3 coilovers in total) the car was great haha.
This is the first time I heard of a 1uz 5speed swap, it is usually the 2jz-gte swap to replicate other market's Aristo or Soarer.

Now that I think about it, I had quite a few more problems actually. Faulty maf, window switch, pcv valve, and starter. I also had to replace the alternator cause Toyota engineers thought it was a good idea to put it right under the weakly built power steering pump. Don't get me wrong, the core of the 1uz is beyond amazing, just everything else not being state of the art.
