That looks sweet - the Ultimate Prado! Performance figures? Did you make any alterations to the gearing?

Daai LUXES lyk so tuis in die Prado asof hy so uit die fabriek kom.
Well done

We did the engin only. The diff ratios are standard. You can feel the gears are verrrrry long, but it feels & sounds sweeeeeeet
No dyno as yet

Took the Prado on a open road test today and boy o boooy she runs sweet.Did 260km and I am so happy I dont wanna give it back to its owner.In 5th gear at 120km/h(speedo) she revs 2700rpm and I suspect thats under the torqe curve ass she looses speed on the uphills quiet easy but when I do 140km/h no problem.Ek word op die oomblik so omsingel met die Lexus conversions dat dit maar net n kwessie van tyd is dan het my eie Hilux (Wimblik) ook een in.Ek sal gou moet plan maak my Hilux voel soos n Nissan 1400 langs Piet se bakkie(Hardcore).

Eric, this one was a KZTE,so the radiator is massive, even bigger than the Hilux KZTE's.
We fitted 4x 10" fans on a 2 stage thermal switch (BMW).

OK, four fans sound as if they should definitely do it! But what about the thickness of the core?

The temp stays normal with only 2 fans, so something must be working perfect Eric

Pieter die eienaar het vandag net oor die driehonderd kilometer op hom gesit en hy is baie gelukkig hy se sy dae van diesels is verby.Ons het Spitronic Titon gebruik en het sover met dorp en langpad ryery gemeng 7.2 km/l gekry.Die voertuig kan nie hier gedyno word nie want hy trek met al vier wiele,ons moet nog uitvind waar ons hom sal kan laat dyno.

Well, a job very nicely done, Piet! If PraDog had been a diesel model, I would have already been on your doorstep, friend! :)
The Lexus V8 is so cool in that conversion, but hardly worth throwing away a V6 for... unless I fit the V6 into White Fang, and White Fang's engine into Bulldog...
