Bell housing for 2.7 to R151 gearbox

[Pieter Bean]

Hallo
I want to exhange my current gearbox for a R151(KZTE) gearbox in my 2000 D/c 2.7 4x4. I would like to know if there is a supplier who can maybe supply me with a bellhousing. Gilo does not make them.

Marlin from MarlinCrawler used to have such an adapter but I see it is discontinued, there was a guy in Australia selling them as well. I am sure Fana (Conversion Man) on the forum can make you such an adapter or new bellhousing.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to do this, your 2.7 is not going to be too happy with those gear ratios if you are going to use the box from a diesel and then you are probably going to end up having to change the diff ratios on the front and rear diff. The box is also slightly longer which will move the gear lever back.

Hi Willem
Thanks for the reply. I am swopping the gearboxes because I am turbo'ing the 3RZ motor and therefore need a stronger box.

Gilo Engineering sal jou kan help

Ok, also have look at the Celica R154 boxes, I think the ratios will be more suited to the application just check if you can get a transfer case that will fit.

I think if you use a kz box you are going to have a very short 1st gear and it is going to be pretty dead in 5th.

But why a turbo on a 4x4 ? My experience with turbo'd petrol 4x4s have not been very positive. Very nice on the open road but offroad there is either too little or too much power depending on if you on or off boost.

But never the less thats my personal opinion. Please tell us a bit more about what turbo you are going to use, manifold, boost, are you going to drop the compression, what engine management are you going to use, what size injectors etc

I got my Eaton M62 supercharger manifold today so mine will be supercharged in February, I just need a few minor items still.

Sien van ons lees nie 'n hele post nie?

Fana sal jou defnitief kan help.

Willem ek stem heeltemal saam met jou m.b.t. turbos op 'n petrol enjin. My swaer het TRD supercharcher op sy 2.7 en daai bakkie loop soos 'n trein. Daar is ongelukkig net een groot probleem..... die prys. R40K is nie klein geld nie. Sy bakkie skop +-270 NM uit. As my berekeninge reg is, behoort ek dieselfde krag met 'n laedruk turbo en intercooler te maak teen 'n koste van maksimum R20000. Onthou ek doen self die werk. Verder gaan/hoef ek nie die kompressie te drop nie as ek nie meer as 0.5 bar gaan boost nie in my opinie.
Dit bring my by my ander antwoord, die bakkie word baie min in 4x4 gebruik(as ons speel vat ons die V8 Cruiser 45). 90% is op die pad waarby daar gewoonlik 'n sleepwa gesleep word. Daarom die meer krag en natuurlik die sterker ratkas.
As ek mag vra wat gaan jou supercharcher kos?
O.ja gaan maar die cut en weld pad met die bellhousing loop vir eers. Sal fotos post soos ek vorder.
Dankie ouens julle input word waardeer. Selfs die wat nie die hele post lees nie.

So ver is my totale koste ongeveer R14000 alles ingesluit sonder dyno, ek kon dit so R4000 goedkoper gedoen het as ek nie die injectors vervang het met groter injectors nie en eerder n 5de injector gebruik het. Ek het die supercharger vir 'n 2.7 tweede hands gekoop maar dit het 'n 8 poort manifold gehad, ek het intussen die 4 poort manifold gekry. Ek wag nog net vir die 0.5 Bar pulley, supercharger gasket en Dastek Turbo module (eintlik maar 'n map sensor wat boost kan meet wat jy aan die Unichip koppel) dan is ek reg om te installeer. Hou my op hoogte ek sal graag wil weet hoe dinge uitwerk.

O ja wat ek eintlik ook bo nagelaat het om te se en bedoel het met die diagram bo is dat jy ook kan kyk na die R155 2.7 VVTI ratkas, ek dink die ratverhoudings sal meer geskik wees. Ek sal maar eers kyk of my ratkas dit kan vat.

Willem, sit die VVTi se transfer case nie verkkerd om nie? Sover ek weet kop sy voorste prop aan die linker kant uit

Thabo jy is reg, ek het nie daaraan gedink nie.
