Re: Lexus V8 into IFS Hilux
many years ago i had the v6/t5 conversion done, and as the T5 was/is made for a V8, it was recommended that i keep the box. Although i was stupid as not to have an auto box fitted.

Re: Lexus V8 into IFS Hilux
I fitted one into a 2000 model 2.7 4x4, i used the same gearbox, diff & clutch.
It was done 2 years ago, it's in everyday use and gives exactly the same consumption as the 2.7, but with twice the power.
It works much better in the ifs, it can actually stop and handle beyond 160, so you can use all the power.
It fits with space to spare and it's lighter than the 2.7.

Re: Lexus V8 into IFS Hilux
There was a nice looking dark charcoal or black IIRC one at my neigbour a while back with an autobox in. The owner is actually someone who does these conversions for a living. I left the guy a card and sticker and then he told Schalk that he is a member here, but I I have not seen any of its pics here.

Re: Lexus V8 into IFS Hilux
Yip, dealt with him. He actually built my hilex for Bartho way back when.
Bartho had endless problems with him and they are still on very bad terms. From the dealings I've had with him his work is good but he's very pricey.

Ek laaik ook, maar die chrome sal swart word. Hentey, ek dink dis soos n vriend van my gese het toe hy sy E55 AMG gekoop het, dis baie goedkoper om n 'gewone' E klas te koop met n baie goeie en kragtige enjin maar hy het die AMG gekoop want hy kan.

Ja Coen,dis belangrik om sulke vriende te he(Die AMG brigade)As hulle vir jou kom kuier dan styg jou huis se waarde met elke kuier.Ek vra hulle gewoonlik om in die oprit te parkeer,sit my skedonk se nommerplaat tydelik daar op en siedaar,more praat almal van my skielike rykdom.BMW het nou al n paar keer van hulle groot ysters vir n naweek gegee,die gevolg is net absoluut fenominaal.Dis om van siek te word,wat het geword van die outydse stelling......"Jy word aan jou vriende geken"........Dit het verander,en lees nou.....Jy word aan jou vriende se karre geken.

I was busy cleaning out and reorganising my Desktop PC at home's hard drives when I stumbled accross this, I took it long ago, but I am not sure if I ever shared it. If I did ignore this.

Re: Lexus V8 into IFS Hilux
The Lexus is in, had to extend the manifold flanges backwards, as they rested on the chassis, so the engin went in twice today.
We tried to start it, but no luck. I must have done something wrong, because it ran when I bought it from Fana
