Andre,
Are you looking for someone to just install the EFI or do you still need to source all the parts?

EFI...EFI...EFI!!!

Sooooo 'lekker' spending other peoples money

Nick,

I've done a couple of trips (by bike) from Cape Town to Dar es Salaam via different routes over the past five years. Would happily help with places of interest in Namibia, Bots, Zim (for that adrenalin rush), Malawi, Moz & Tanzania.

James, First drive it around locally for a while & determine if the original 4y is tired or not. Check for blue smoke under acceleration & also after running againsed compression. You might just get away with replacing valve stem seals. These motors tend to use a bit of oil so check the usea...

Ek was baie 'lucky' om 120km/h te ry op die paaie in jou omgewing

I made one for R 650. There was some concern over the joins that I used but it held up well after a trip over some rough roads in the Cederberg mountains close by.Pics here under DIY. Do the same. Even a couple of k is crazy!!

Koop die bakkie, verkoop die Subaru dan het jy net genoeg geld oor vir n mooi stel bande vir die Lux.

Good to hear it's all sorted now.

zepplin

A litre extra is quite a huge amount. Give us the feedback on the gear change once you've tested it now.

Look the diff from the rear of the vehicle. If the casing has a removeable cover at the back it is a local Gearmax diff. The import diff's housing is solid & it means the centre portion of the diff must be removed from the front (propshaft side). The import diff was fitted as standard to the ear...

Park the vehicle on a LEVEL surface & open the FILLER plug (the one halfwayup). No matter how much come out will be excess oil which means it was overfilled somehow. Once it stops, the correct amount will be left in the box. If it is overfilled, this might be why you are struggling to engage the...

zepplin

I do have a brand new, unused ARB airlocker (in the box) which will fit your front diff (also rear diff if you have the imported one). I could be persuaded to part with it (R8500-00). If you are set on a locker, you can't get better than this one - just ask around.

zepplin

Darren, get hold of Riaan (ToyX4 on this forum) via PM. He is bringing in a few EFI units from the States for the 22R. Takes some time to get here but they are not avaulable locally unless you are luckier than Jacob Zuma. (Sorry Mods)

zepplin

Thanks Alan.

I have searched the forum for these but there are countless threads on this topic & I couldn't find anything definitive. Do you know if the Gabriel Safaris are now gas filled as I saw something to this effect somewhere?

zepplin

The Gabriel Safaris on my SFA are finished. I know this because the liloe in my pool nosedives & rebounds less often than when I stop at a red light suddenly. I am looking at fitting either the same again but am also considering Monroes. The vehicle is fitted with Old Man Emu leafsprings so I ne...

Positive or negative?

Yup.....that's the dizzy.

Thanks Cassie.
You still happy with your EFI? Any figures on the consuption difference as yet?

zepplin

Can one of the EFI gurus here advise what mods are needed to a standard 22r dizzy as I'll soon be fitting an original Toyota EFI system to my Lux. I'll be running it with Dictator management.

Thanks

Donaldson in Cape Town won't sell directly but referred me to a distributor. Sizes are 76, 101, 127, 152, 177mm. 76mm was R 349-64 ex VAT.

zepplin

The snorkel hood fits the 75mm pipe perfectly. I tried the heat bending with sand inside & dicovered you need eight hands & the speed of a mamba.

zepplin

All legitimate conerns gents, which I have taken into consideration! I decided to go the pvc route first due to cost. To make one out of metal would leave you with a rust problem at the coast unless you went with stainless. There are not too many shops bending 75mm pipe & those that do have a ve...

zepplin

It's actually 75mm s&v pvc pipe. (the white plumbing pipe you can get from most hardwares). I originally tried 75 mm black pvc conduit (to avoid having to paint it) but found the wall thickness not to be uniform & the pipe more oval than round. The problem with these issues was that because ...

zepplin

Total cost - R 678-00 & five evening's work.

zepplin

Has anyone had experience with purchasing goodies through ebay? I have found an EFI manifold complete for USD 250 but am weary of of how the shipping & delivery works.

Thanks

zepplin

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. Reason for asking is I have a '97 22R with the local diff minus locker. Am about to buy a set of axles & from the pic it looks as if the rear axle is the import. I have a brand new ARB locker I brought in form Oz which I want to fit to the import diff &...

zepplin

Sorry, one more question. Are the sideshafts interchangeable from import diff to local diff? Do they have the same number of splines? If not, how many splines on the import & how many on the local?

Steve

zepplin

Thanks.

zepplin

Thanks Allan. Can you advise if the import diff also had the same ratios>

Steve

zepplin

Can someone please confirm what the standard diff ratios are for this vehicle?

Thanks

zepplin

This is the motor. Not sure which year yet as have just started looking at this. I'm not looking for a drag racer (I have a Banshee for that) so will look to keep it in standard form. Unlike the ANC, my budget it not limitless and have looked at various options for a transplant already, 7 MGE (too h...

Any feedback/experience on fitting a 3SGTE to a SFA will be appreciated.

zepplin

Thanks for the advice & help guys. I have already moved the solenoid and added a hidden switch for it.

WARNING!! My Lux was broken into last Friday along the beachfront between Big Bay & Melkbos at around 14h30 whilst walking the dog. SAPS claim reports of 2 vehicles/day being broken into along this srtetch so be careful!!!!! These 'tik heads' used a key to gain access through the driver's door &...

zepplin

I was anticipating the radiator upgrade & plan go with an aluminium unit from a BMW to be on the safe side. Suppose the standard clutch from the 2.7i will be better than the 22R clutch? I'll be running it off a Diktator. Still shopping around for the motor. The prices range from einah to ridicul...

zepplin

I was seriously looking at the 7MGE but have decided to go with the 3RZ due to space, weight & overheating concerns. Can anyone who has gone with a 3RZ transplant advise me on which bell housing, starter, clutch & radiator is used? I currently have the 22R standard setup.

Thanks

zepplin

Thanks.

zepplin

Does anyone know if an aftermarket bullbar (Nudge em, Burnco, etc) from an early IFS can be fitted to a SFA without too much trouble? Total width across the outer ends would be the big question here I'd guess.

Thanks.
Steve

zepplin

So with all the above info, am I correct in saying that on the later model bakkies with the gearmax rear, there is a difference in the number of splines between front & rear i.e. 30 front & 27 rear?

zepplin

Thanks Bennie,

I did see that thread. Think I'll wait for a more definitive answer before pulling the front shafts. Would hate to go through all that work & then find that it wont fit.

Cheers

zepplin

I have a '98 2.8 diesel with the gearmax rear diff & diff lock. I believe that the front diff is the imported one (as they all are?) as there is no removeable cover on the back(front) housing. Does this mean that the drive shafts in the front axle are 30 spline & the rear shafts are 27spline...

zepplin

I am truly afraid of the diatribe which I'm sure will follow but can I have some input from the esteemed boffins on this subject?
