(Un)fortunately the imports are all Supra but the only real difference is the intake system (throttle body) and the Alternator. But they come without an airflow meter and a ECU or harness My original engine was a 22R (donkey) The biggest challenge was the cooling system. There were very little space...

Re: Chinese Motor
What is the diffs between the real 4Y and the China model? The Chinese 4Y you have in your vehicles now, will those be the same as what the GWM bakkies run on? Same block but the GVM is the EFI variant of the 4Y. I see in the states the also had 22RE (22R with EFI) and 22RTE (EFI with Turbo) engine...

Re: Hilux
Thanx Bennie, I think it will be some time before I buy a play toy. I do not know if I will buy a SFA for a Toy. I think more in the line of something with a short wheelbase. Perhaps a shortened SFA Hilux suspension with a TAZZ or SWB Hilux bakkie on top. Or perhaps one of them very OLD SWB Cruiser...

Re: SFA vs IFS
Normally this SFA vs IFS topic becomes a very long discussion. It seems to me as if one can summarize it as follows: As always, it depends on what you want to use the vehicle for. If you are into the challenges various trails offer then the IFS will not work for you and you have to go for the SFA. ...

That’s why I originally threw out my 22R. It also had the BroSpeed conversion but was slow as hell and very thirsty. Top speed on the highway was 120 hammering it without the aircon on and it dropped down to 90 going uphill. With the 7M-GE I can maintain 130+ if I need to with my fully loaded Bund...

Thanks

Hi Bennie, there is also a red Hilux with 7MGE motor in Langebaan. I had a look at it the other day. The engine fits so nicely in it, it almost seems like a factory fit. I am sure if it was 3 cm longer it would not have fit. Sorry for only replying to this now. I somehow missed your and Simon's pos...
