3ct 2.2 diesel ombouings

[mornay]

Ek kan nie regtig ,enige inligting kry ivm met 3ct ombouings nie ?

Is daar iemand wat reeds hierdie ombouing beproef het ,en is dit enigsins die moeite werd (voor en nadele),veral mbt brandstof verbruik ?

Het tans 4y met 36dcd weber, brand stof verbruik maar bietjie sleg 5/6 oop pad.

My Oom het die 3C-T in sy single cab SFA en double cab SFA in 2000 ge-installeer...... Hy het in die 11 jaar NIKS probleme gehad met hulle nie, en soos in NIKS. Dit gekry van daai engine importers, dink het so 80 000km opgehad toe hy hulle gekry het. Hy's nou op die ooomblik besig om die eerste "maintenance" op die 2 bakkies te doen....Timing belde....

Kry so 11km/l op average......

Hy het 2.2 petrol 4y in hulle eers gehad.... Daar is ook 'n ander opsie waarna my Oom kyk.... 'n 3.1TD Isuzu wat ook ingevoer word. Sy vriend wil die in sy Isuzu Trooper insit (huidiglik V6 petrol in). So gaan eers kyk hoe reliable dit is.

We have a 3c motor in our lux. It started its life as a 4Y petrol, it is now a 3C diesel conversion. We use our lux mainly for overlanding and trails. The engine is strong enough for this. When putting in a 3C, make sure that you replace tour existing radiator with a 4 core radiator. As its a diesel engine, the radiator needs to be bigger than what you have in the lux at the moment. Otherwise, we get around 10km/litre, and loving it. We have found that the engine is not strong enough for dune climbing, but for the rest, no complaints.

Do you have the 3C or 3CT?

Could you post some pictures when you get a chance?

I'm getting a 3CT for my van aswell, are you running the 3c's flywheel with the 2.2"s clutch?

Hi Mornay,

I run a 3CT in my 'Lux. personally I find the overall power and drivability very similar to a standard 4Y but MUCH better consumption. I get between 8.5 and 10 liters per 100Km (but usually 9.5)

only problem I have had? I have never been able to get all the air out the cooling system when I use a thermostat so I have to run without one, meaning the heater is not akll that effective in winter

Do I recommend it?

Yes

[mornay]

Could we get some pics please?

How does towing power compair with 4y
-availibilty of spares
-can aircon from 4y be connected
-engin mounting changes
-any other changes
-cost of 3ct engin

Zane let me know if you got more info?

Hi Zane, Wayne says: We have the 3CT 2.2 turbo. I was warned against the 2.0 turbo as it is lacking a bit of power for the SFA body. We're still running with the old flywheel.

Hi Zane, Nicky's hubby Wayne here.
I understand it like this: 3CT is the 2.2 turbo, and the 3C is the 2.0 turbo..?
We have the 3CT 2.2 turbo. I was warned against the 2.0 turbo as it is lacking a bit of power for the SFA body. We're still running with the old flywheel.

The correct version is actually like this....

1C-T is the 1800 turbo (or 1C plain 1800)
2C-T is the 2000 turbo (or 2C plain 2000)
3C-T is the 2200 turbo (or 3C plain 2200)

just like the petrol version 1Y, 2Y etc

I've never physically seen the plain (or naturally aspirated) diesels, apparently they do exist.

Wayne cheers for the info there.

Would love to discuss the mod more with you when you have a chance, maybe meet up so I can view the conversion

If you could PM me a no and I'll give you a shout.

Hi there! Lekker this hilux lifestile.. I need some help please. I do adventure trips for the "plakkerskamp kinders" in danville elandspoort, bonnecord etc... I'm selling my best bakkie ever a 99" 2.7i 2x4 hilux for a 1998 dc 4x4. This vehicle has a ford v6 that i took out origianally it came with a 2.8 diesel. I am looking at getting a 3ct or kzte. I just whant to know: the performansce on a 3ct do you have enough power to overtake from a cruising speed of 110-120km/ph. I am aslo looking at fitting a intercooler? + this vehicle's old man emu shocks are done any suggestions on something simmular for a better price?

[Rebel 4x4]

My uncle recently fitted a front mount intercooler on his single cab (Isuzu intercooler) and he says it's going like a boeing. Recently done dune driving with it, and there's a big difference in power and "not trekking dood" So when you decide onthe 3C-T, do the intercooler thing as well!

Hi Guys,
What is the cost of such a conversion( 3CT)?
