GOOSENZ

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4732

GOOSENZ

i will do that rite now so don't go anywhere
look for the rebuild of a hilux

GOOSENZ

it not hard to do as long as you get the sump to fitor the proper sump which could either be a front mount or a rear mount sump. look at my article for info if needed

GOOSENZ

here are the gear box pictures which you will be able to see what i was meaning by the auto box bell housings just bolting on

GOOSENZ

sorry for the pictures not being in the rite numbers but they are numbered properly in the stages that i have going with this project

GOOSENZ

well here is another set of picture but there are still more coming up with in the next ten minutes

GOOSENZ

here are some pictures guy

GOOSENZ

well the pictures are now ready to go onto the forum for you all to see the hilux with a lexus coming to life and taking shape as it is booked in for the panel shop to get the noise and left B pillar put in

GOOSENZ

so what will be cheaper to do eaither the V8 or the V6 would you go for the 3.0L V6? to get the V6 in , it will be the same amount work as is to get the V8 in

GOOSENZ

well here is the pictures of the one hilux

GOOSENZ

i will get them up as soon as my computer will let me

GOOSENZ

hi there all well these are both mine and tend to keep both of them as toys. the white hilx was fully rebuilt by myself and as you can see im fully rebuilding the other one but with my mods than normal. as some have read is that i could be coming back to South africa to do a conversion unless there ...

GOOSENZ

well it took me 2 days to get mine mounted into my hilux as there ain't much different to the V6 just 2 extra cylinders. question to you all how long does it take to do a chassis replacement on a double cab 4x4 hilux solid beam axle?

GOOSENZ

a person just has to watch over here as there are 1UZFE V8s that are going for $1000 nz complete with ecu

GOOSENZ

well its not just a bolt in as you will need to move the chassis mounts for the motor as the V6 is shorter than the V8. you might also have to make up new engine mounts to suit the motor and chassis mounts. i will be finding out more about this conversion as i will be back in south africa fitting on...

GOOSENZ

well i can't comment on this as im not in south africa to compair them

GOOSENZ

hi there mate

i have 2 hilux 4x4s and thats the only 4x4 i will drive i like your hilux and can't wait to finish building my other hilux 4x4 with a lexus V8

GOOSENZ

well i put a 22R 2.4 petrol in my hilux and when pulling a boat up a long hill im in third gear and reving at 4000rpm and doing 100kpm so how does that sound for a 2.4 petrol hilux motor? the diffs that im running on it are 4.88 ratio diff heads

GOOSENZ

best would be to import one from new zealand as most of the hilux 4x4s and 4x2 run lsd diffs and lock rite detroits

GOOSENZ

well at the moment i haven't got a ecu but i am looking for one at the moment that i can use my laptop on to check and change the setting while i drive to make sure that the engine can do everything that i want

GOOSENZ

now that is a picture of the 3.4 toyota V6

GOOSENZ

yeah thats the one. i will see my supplier tomorrow which will be in the morning for you and see what he has got as i got the ecu off him for $50 nz which you can have

GOOSENZ

i will see if i can get the engine codes and then you can do more research as i should be back in south africa in march for a month as it will only take me 2 days to a week to fit it

GOOSENZ

with the shipping cost i would have to find out for you. but there is a internet site called trademe that if you know where to look on it you will see the prices on V6 and V8 toyota motors

GOOSENZ

well the engine will come with the bell housing , engine mounts and wiring loom and computer.

my shype user name is hilux.xtreme if anyone whats to talk to me

GOOSENZ

i am on shype if you need more info on this conversion

GOOSENZ

i also know that when putting toyota into toyota everything seemd to fit in as my hilux that i have now its had a 2.4TDi efi 2LTE motor that i put in that was out of a surf but was running a computer. i then sold that motor and bought a 2.4 22R motor for $550 nz and when it came to putting it in the...

GOOSENZ

well when doing the 3.4 surf V6 conversion it seems very easy and is very easy as all you need to do is get the manual 4x4 surf V6 bellhousing which will bolt up to the hilux d/c box and then the motor will bolt straighty up to the box but then you will need to move to chassis mounts back by not muc...

GOOSENZ

well here is a picture of the motor now with the oil filter in place and i still have enought space between the chassis and oil filter

GOOSENZ

well on my filter books its telling the that the filter that im using the the filter make for this 1UZFE motor so the one im using is a PH3614 FRAM filter

GOOSENZ

if you are running a lexus V8 in a 1997 hilux 4x4 you won't need to change the oil filter housing as i have a lexus in my hilux and i didn't need to chance my oil filter housing. keep a eye on my topic to see what i mean
