Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi guys. Been a while. Everybody still good?
Question: Has anyone fitted a 1GR-FE to a SFA and is it even possible?

Die rede hoekom ek wil gaan vir die monoflow/reverse flow enjin is omdat dit baie goed reageer op lae rpm met turbo en EFi, waar die crossflow enjins beter doen op hoe rpm met turbo en EFi. Ook die reverse flow is beter met exhaust scavenging wat beter mengsel lading toelaat. Vir die overheating asp...

Dankie vir julle insette. Ek verstaan die vleis tussen die silinders op die 4Y is bietjie min, wat verduidelik hoekom die gaskets nie hou nie. Ek oorweeg om 'n 3Y eers te probeer. Lekker square kapasiteit en ek dink met al die regte bestandele kan dit nogal 'n lekker enjin wees. As ek 4Y gaan, dan g...

Middag almal.

Ek weet die topic is al holrug gery, maar ek wil net weet of iemand al 'n 3Y of 'n 4Y suksesvol geturbo het. Ek is besig om navorsing en berekeninge te maak om 'n 4Y te turbo. Natuurlik met EFI gedoen.

Hi Ricky
Thanks. I will give them a shout.

Think that is a good place to start. Guess I can't complain since it is still the factory shaft and has already done 227 000km. Thanks Family_Dog. Will see if I can source the jet sizes for the carb and then share it with the Hilux family here, incase someone needs it.

Hi Family_Dog.

Thanks for the reply. My issue is with the rear prop. As far as I know the prop should be as close as possible to a straight line. My prop from the center bearing to the diff is at quite an angle. Do you think if I drop down the bearing it would make a difference?

Dag almal. Is daar enige iemand wat weet wat is die fabriek jet grootes vir die Nikki op die 4Y's? Haynes manual stipuleer niks. En dalk waar ek n oorspronklike kit kan kry. Toyota het die kits gediscontinue. Tweede vraag is wat is die ideale propshaft angle op n geligde SFA. Het die Mikem comfort p...

Thanks Legend. Had a look and I have the import diff. So it is ARB or electronic lockers. I had a look at the budget build videos JohanM, and it is quite impressive what that Lux is capable of with 29's and no suspension mods. I have to admit I am very intrigued by the lockers they fitted. Almost li...

Dit is baie netjies, en net soos Thabo voorspel het, sal hy myne kan doen?

Thanks for the input guys. How do I see if I have a local or import diff? I agree with the carb performance, I have the original Nikki on and on one trip with about 500kg on the back at 110km/h I achieved 8.1km/lt. But you recommend EFi for smoother driving and slightly better response/performance? ...

Hi guys Considering some future mods on my Lux. Your input will be appreciated, especially the guys who have already done it. Currently I have a standard 4Y, not really considering an engine swop. Thinking of doing EFi, dual transfer cases and link suspension front and rear. I want to create a Lux t...

Afternoon everybody. New to the club and thought I would just introduce myself. Bergskilpad is the name, slow and steady, and just as reliable as a 4Y! Ex Subaru Master Technician, so a true gear head, but with a love for the simplistic and reliable technology of the SFA Hilux. Looking forward to me...
