Sorry Coenie, dan is jy nog getroud ook, nou kort jy nog net n Kawasaki dan gaan jy nie eers tyd he om werk toe te gaan nie.

Hoppy

I've got one in my shop i see it more than it's owner, you are forever working and tuning the thing just for a moment's pleasure, get married or buy an old Alfa, it's less hassle.

Ons het 4 jaar gelede op n 2.4 brospeed motor n EFI conversion gedoen met n "Go Tech", dit was van die enigste systems beskikbaar, ons het 102KW uit hom gekry, maar hy was nog altyd onder 5km/l en ons moes hom gereeld stel. Ons het ook n 2.7 ge "Go Tech", hy het ook onder 5km/l g...

Hoppy

Yes and just about strong enough to pull the wipers on a real HILUX

Hoppy

Jy kry n lockrite vir voor, hy kos so R4000.00, jy het n "local" diff agter die agterste lock is n gearmax vacuum lock, wat ook die sterkste lock is hy kos so R4500.00

Hoppy

Dis alles ok totdat jy op daai middelste pedaal spring en al reaksie wat jy kry is jou gesigsuitdrukking!

Hoppy

It,s a good motor that loves to rev, the bell housing is std toyota and it fits with space to spare. Is it the later version with the 2 turbo's?

Hoppy

The 3rz 2.7 conversion is the easiest and most reliable conversion you can do, all the parts exept the mountings are off the shelf, it can be fitted with an aftermarket EFI system or a carburettor, we have done both a few times, i prefer the carb for reliability and cost( about R7000.00 less). You c...

Hoppy

The first 2 Liter motor on this graph is not a 3Y, it's an 18R.

The 3Y had slightly less torque, but it could handle more revs than the 4Y, there isn't much difference in KW's.

Hoppy

Even a std hilux raider with std 31" tyres rubbed at the back, the best way around it is to move the axle forward. There is an extra hole 35mm back on the left spring perch, drill another one on the right, shorten the steering and tramp rods, drill the bumpstops and you can even fit 33" ty...

Hoppy

Los die arme ou uit! Ek het ook Datsun gery toe ek nog werk gesoek het.

Hoppy

The 5MGE 2.8 DOHC 12 valve doesn't come with a carb, it's an older and less powerfull version of the 7MGE, it lacks torque at low rpm and it gives 30kw less than the 7MGE 3.0 L DOHC 24 valve and its the same job to fit, but the 5MGE did run cooler and gave better milage. The very first Cresida's had...

Hoppy

No, i have'nt worked on one of those, i hope they are better quality.

Hoppy

HILUX RULES !!!! :D

Hoppy

We've fitted the first of these motors about 4 to 5 years ago when they started to import them, it seemed like a good idea at the time, the first to give problems was the carbs, the distributors went next, followed by hydraulic lifters, oil leaks, burnt valves, clutch centres breaking and high oil c...

Hoppy

Have the block skimmed and rebored, use good quality parts, reprofile the cam to brospeed spec and give the head a light flow job, add a branch and a freeflow to complete the package.
Please stay away from chinese import motors.

Hoppy

Die grootste kopsere is die waterpype en inlet wat alles bo oor die ratkas was, die firewall is nou in die pad, maar niks is onmoontlik nie, dit hang net af hoeveel ure jy bereid is om in te sit. Die kraglewering van die 7mge en die camry is dieselfde. Die conversion is al gedoen, het nie meer die k...

Hoppy

If you use a good quality gasket, it will have its own adhesive(it feels sticky), then you won't use anny other stuff. If it's a steel, or another "smooth" surface type, you can use copper gasket spray or silver paint.
I prefer to use OE, elring or payen gaskets.

Hoppy

Daai is baie goed, watse managemant system het jy op? Die meeste wat ons nog kon uitkry was 190kw, 170kw is normaal. Daai V8 se klank as hy oor 7000rpm gaan is onbeskryflik, dit laat jou hare(en anne goed) regopstaan! Net daarvoor is die conversion die moeite werd! My 7mGTE Het 210kw en 400nm gegee ...

Hoppy

It's easy to remove the sump and pistons in place as there is no x-member in the way, give it a light hone and make sure the rings is the right size, measure the gap with a feeler guage.

Hoppy

'sal pics vat as ek dit kla gemaak het.

Hoppy

Yes Hennie, hoeveel ponies het die dyno daar in die dun lug gewys? Pasop n hilux raak erg unstable op 200, veral op 35''s en dan voel dit of jy op n klip trap as jy op die middelste pedaal klim, maar die die gesig van die GTI drywer as jy hom laat verbykom is soos die ad op die tv se "PRICELESS...

Hoppy

Hi scopion, you should hide before the government gets you!

Ok, I have spacers machined to widen the calipers and fit the vented discs.

Hoppy

n KZTE radiator in die een en n "custom built" 4 core cross flow in die ander. Ek gebruik 2x10'' fans voor en een 16" agter die radiator, n golf 3 pin fan switch skakel eers die voorstes en dan die agterste een deur twee relays aan. Die aircon condensor is onder die bakkie langs die r...

Hoppy

Many years ago, in the age of V6 Kombi's a home brewed conversion made it to my shop, the guy used a std geizer thermostat, ran the switching wires through a 5 pin relay and bob's your aunti! He made me promise not to change his "adjustable themostat" as it worked perfect!

Hoppy

Should work well, i'll load the mother inlaw and press the remote!

Hoppy

Yes you can turn the inlet manifold around, i've done it on one. I've fitted vented discs on all the sfa hiluxes i've done with more HP, i am busy with another vew kits, annyone interested? I've toyed with the idea of building a lexus with a carb and distributor, after some measurements i think 2x48...

Hoppy

By n vriend van my le n stel Raider 15" mags, hulle is nuut, wou hulle op my KZTE sit, maar hulle pas nie, hy soek R4500 oo vir die stel

Hoppy

Yes Simon it's thats best motor ever built, i sold my 2L with 760 000km on the clock unopened, but fit a turbo and it won't see 100 000 when driven hard. I know it's not "nice" to fit other motors in a Toyota, but the first Turbo Diesel that Toyota built that's a succes is the D4D and it's...

Hoppy

I've used a 3.0 skyline complete instrument cluster in a few 7m conversions, it fits perfect, the rpm, speedo(220 km/h) and fuel guage calibrations are corect, it has volt meter and oil presure guages and it looks much neater, you have to do some wiring though.

Hoppy

Most of the facts are correct, you either love or hate diesels, i've never driven a succesful KZTE in an SFA Hilux. 2 problems; the gear ratio is to high, the KZTE is not a free revving motor and its not happy at high rpm, i drive one myself The mechanical diesel pump swop robs it of its power and y...

Hoppy

One man's meat is another man's poison, it all depends on how it's fitted.
Do you think it cracks more heads than Toyota Turbo motors?
The power curve and higher rpm suits the hilux better than anny other diesel motor.

Hoppy

Ek het n "jig" gemaak waarmee ek die "line up" presies reg kry om vibrasies te voorkom en om die hoogte bo die as reg te kry, as jy hom terugskuif is die mounts ook anders.
Party keer is jy gelukkig om mounts te kry wat presies pas.

Hoppy

Ek gebruik die std Hilux mounts, maar die brackets tussen die mounts en die enjin maak ek self.
n 2" body lift werk goed en ek skuif ook die enjin 40mm terug.
Die BMW 328 E36 radiator pas na n paar tikkies met n 4lb hammer

Hoppy

I have fitted the WL motor in 3 hilux's, I had one in my previous hilux and i am busy fitting one in my old hilux, it is one of the best coversions i have done.

Hoppy

I bought a winch for my KZTE, i would prefer to retain the std bumper, will start cutting this coming looong weekend, will post some pics.

Hoppy

The marks are very clear, it is easy to remove the cover and check, but it will have difficulty starting and it will lose half the power its out by one tooth, more likely it'l have to be adjusted on the slots at the back, using a diesel timing light or the toyota diagnostic machine. If you look clos...

Hoppy

When Kaspaas returns from his long trip i'll take some, or if i get another one in sooner i'll post it.

Hoppy

Do you have a mechanical or electronic pump?
The best way would be to take it to a diesel pump shop, they should have a timing light to set it with.

Hoppy

The propshaft can be lengthened by 60mm, or you can make a spacer between the diff and prop flange. The bump stops needs another centre hole A hole for the centre bolt needs to be drilled on the left hand side (there is a 35 mm moved hole on the other side) The tramp rod and steering link needs to b...

Hoppy

I removed the std plastic face that holds the radio and ashtray
I used aluminium treadplate and fabricated my own faceplate(only 2 bends and a bit of jigsaw work on the plate) no cutting on the bakkie.
The fm,29 and vhf fitted on top of each other, but you have to lose the ashtray.

Hoppy

33" tyres transforms the vehicle totally, You can fit them with your std suspension, but the front axle has to be moved forward by 35mm The gearing is ok, 5th gear is only for downhills though. You gain much more 4x4 ability with added traction than you lose in power If you choose to retain the...

Hoppy

Ons het al n 3.4 prado enjin gefit, hy trek soos n trein, amper beter as n lexus v8, in aus het hulle so uitgekom.
Die enjins is duur om te koop en ook baie duur om te fit, maar hy pas baie lekker.

Hoppy

Jy kan n enjin van daar af bestel, daar is n paar jap importers in die states,van hulle suply die enjins met n staal gasket en hulle waarborg hom nie as jy hom nie opsit nie.
Ons het dit al oorweeg om enjins in te bring, maar jy moet n container vol inbring om dit die moeite werd te maak.

Hoppy

Die Gasket is heeltemal staal, hy het nog ringe om die silinders, maar die gedeeltes tussenin is ook staal. Jy kan hom in verskillende diktes ook kry om die kompressie te laat sak. Die blok moet nagegaan word, partykeer is dit nodig om hom ook te "skim' Dit is beter om ook ARP headboute te gebr...

Hoppy

If you have friends with isuzu's, colts, fords, land rovers, jeeps and other inferior equipment, you can earn yourself a few cases of beer with a good winch on an outing!

Hoppy

I have a 4.5 Landcruizer pick up for sale, at the current fuel price it will do a whole 35km on R100.oo, that calculates to R3.oo per km.
If you take it off road it will rize to R5.oo per km.
Anny offers?

Hoppy

Remove the loadbox completely(only 6 bolts and 2 plugs)
Fit the sparewheeltank and run the breatherhoses to the original filler(not to the tank)
Fit the T piece and balance pipe
Test the system before refitting loadbox

Paar pointers; Ek skuif die enjin en ratkas 40mm terug Ek laat die "heater" pype bo oor en nie agter om loop nie Gebruik n BMW 2.8 E36 Radiator n Meganiese waaier werk beter as n elektriese een, maar as jy nie die neus wil sny nie, kan jy die BMW elektriese waaier gebruik Gebruik die stand...

Hoppy

So far no hasles whith line ups and vibrations We had blank flywheels casted and the machine shop does a very neat job I had the engine profile cut out of 20mm aluminium by a waterjet company, the front face gets trimmed off your existing bell housing and welded on using a special alignment tool we ...

Hoppy

Ek gebruik OME vere, Gabriel Gas Safari's(extra lengte)& polyurethane buhes, R6500.00

PS: 4 vingers tussen Bumpstop en voor as is standaard (behalwe nou as jy van daai vrystaatse boer vingers het)

Hoppy

The pre facelift one uses an air mass meter(on the aircleaner), it calculates the exact amount of air that enters the intake, whereas a map censor uses preprogramed information based on throtle input that is not always ideal.

Hoppy

The 1RZ 2.0L, 2RZ 2.4L, 3RZ 2.7L, all use the same block, but the bore, stroke and cylinder heads differ, they all use the same bell housing, (Not the same as anny other Toyota motors), but the bell housing is std fit on the gearbox side. For the same amount of trouble you can fit a 2.7 wich is mult...

You get 3 types of hilux gearboxes: The "W" box are std. on all local sfa hilux's also called a 21R box because it was used in the cresida range, it is the smallest and weakest of the three and it has a std or "small" bellhousing bolt patern. The "R" box is std. on our ...

Scorpion, so far the 'box is holding out fine, the motor revs much smoother and higher than the 3rz, the power curve is longer and flatter than any motor i have fitted and the sound is amazing! The fuel consumption is much the same as the 2.7 driven a bit harder, around 6 km/L. i used the std 2.7 ra...

Hoppy

Ja Thanks, daai lyk bietjie soos Ratle & Humm, Goeie memories!

Hoppy

I would like to post some pics, i am busy uploading them onto photobucket, it will take some time, i will then attempt the transfer to this site, so be patient, this thing doesn't respond to mechanical inputs!

Hoppy

I have fitted one, but i used the manual box, the gear ratios are perfect, the auto box will need lower diff ratios and the aftermarket controllers are troublesome.
