Re: Bennie involved in accident
Hey Bennie - ek hoor ook nou eers van die slegte nuus - maar dit lyk darem of die goeie nuus meer was as die slegte nuus - sterkte met die herstel - en ons is dankbaar saam met jou familie dat jy OK is.

Re: Standard Lexus ECU 1UZ VVT-I Conversions
Redhummer - it sounds like I will have to fork out around R10 000 for ECU and airflow meter, and then I still dont have a wiring harness. That's why the aftermarket ECU's are thriving as well, let alone the advantages available to people like me and benHur who wants to tinker under the bonnet when w...

Re: Standard Lexus ECU 1UZ VVT-I Conversions
Gee wiz guys - you are a bit on the emotional side here - hope I dont get caught in the middle of anything. I am asking again (RedHummer):\ 1. How easy / difficult and costly is it to source an OEM computer box - my brother might want to run the 4.3 VVTI if standard EMU is feasible 2. What about wir...

Re: Standard Lexus ECU 1UZ VVT-I Conversions
Like you guys are saying - each to his own. I would like to say that I agree with Benhur - there is no substitute for being able to tweak your own management - from cold start behaviour and idle speed through to timing and fuel maps. Most of us are not so lucky to get an engine with full wiring inta...

Re: Removing a blade from OME front suspension
Ek het een bladveer uitgehaal elke kant voor, en camil coil-over shocks ingesit wat hom weer terugvat na oorspronklike hoogte maar tog beter laat ry. Nog 'n opsie, alhoewel die camil shocks kritiek kry oor hulle olie in het en nie gas nie

Re: HELP !! 4y 7m
Sorry guys, but I have to vote for 7M, if you do it yourself, it can be very cost effective and reliable - did mine, after selling 4Y and recovering R4500, for about R12 000 - I still have the Excel file to substantiate the cost summary (from 2005). The 7M is smooth, powerful, and better on fuel tha...

Re: 7M-GE is heaven
Net om te be-aam - Benhur jok nie oor die Bellhousing nie - koop genuine part by Gemini - ek en my vriend Hein moes ons s'n ruil want on cluthes wou nie stop met shudder nie, en die input shaft bearings het lekker ge-whine sodra jy die clutch trap opdat die spigots skeef gesit het.

On the SFA - it is far better to replace the balls with tie rod ends - and have a high tensile steel rod cut with threads in opposing directions for adjustment purposes. Mine runs on Isuzu KB350 joints

Re: 3RZ-FE vs Others (split from converting 3.0td to 2.7i)
My few cents worth on the 7mge : I have to come up for it - mine has now done about 25 000 km in the Hilux, I took a conservative stance on the cooling right from the start - I fitted a fixed Nissan E20 fan that has a shallow pitch - so it does not draw too much power, bit it maintains constant airf...

Re: 7MGE Questions
That is exactly why we converted - much more power - same juice. Mine still runs with head gasket that I bought it with - and I think the secret is proper (= over!!) design of cooling system. Dont think you will get away with tiny electric fan - it shoud be big, or use fan belt driven fan, and monit...

Re: Petrol verbruik 2.4 Hi lux 22R
My opinie.... Die 22R het 'n hopeloos oor-komplekse carburettor op - wat soveel verdomde pypies en sisteempies het om CO2 emmissions in gedagte te hou dat die ding of reg werk (6-7 km/liter), of deurmekaar raak. Dis amper asof die goed nie eers "oop keelgat" kan loop soss wat die webers en...

Re: Steering Arm Klopping Driver's Side Gabriel Safari Shocker
Hi Guys I did the conversion some years ago, we used Isuzu KB tie-rod ends and removed the ball-joints, which have warn away badly because of dirt getting past those silly rubbers (this is in my opinion one of the only weak-points in the SFA Hilux). We used hardened steel for the rod, and threaded i...

Hi Guys As promised, here's more details about my Hilux: It used to be the recovery vehicle on the McCarthy 4x4 club - so it really worked hard, they did not save it, and yet, after refurbishing the drivetrain from front to rear (except front diff), it is in a good condition. Losts of battle scars u...

Re: 4Y EFI Conversion - Chapter 2
For those still wondering about possible power gains to go the EFI route on the 4Y - dont expect more than 10% increases in kw and torque, BUT, engine much more responsive, and surprisingly smoother. I had the ignition and fuel control with Mr Turbo EFI on mine before also going the 7M route - the 7...

Re: Camil Suspension BlumTRD
Geldige punt Zantus - maar ek dink 'n paar goeie gas skokbrekers in rowwe 4x4 toestande sit ook maar baie kragte op die shock mounts. EN, die ou Hilux se shock mounts is redelik fris. Ek's ook steeds baie gelukkig - en het dit net voor opgesit, maar ek moet eerlik wees - ek ry nie vreeslik baie in e...

Re: Camil Suspension BlumTRD
Ek het Doninsons vere in myne, en ek het gevind dat as jy 'n blad veer voor uithaal aan elke kant en dan die Camil coil-overs bysit, dan het jy weer dieselfde hoogte. Die rygeried is definitief beter met die coils se medewerking - die voorste suspensie voel amper soos 80 of 100 series cruiser as jy ...
