Hi you all

New to the forum.
What to say - My Toyota's
First Toyota was a corrola then a 2.7 Hilux Raider -550 000km sold
Second Toyota KZTE 4x4 replaced motor at 600 000km sold
Current
2x Hilux's 2l VVTI's white and silver my work horeses
2.7 VVTI DC silwer

Sold the 2.7 last week and got the 1993 Hilux DC 4x4 4y 124 000km
Got new mags last week end but the rong ones was sold to me for this bakkie so hope the new mags will be on by next week.

What I want to do to this bakkie
:evil: Need more power!!!!!!
Choks
Branches
S/T free flow
Performens air filter to start.

Hope you guys can help to change the name from Skillie to

Hope this was not a mistake the 4y gives me 5km/l
What you think?

Hi Isak and welcome!

What are your intentions for this vehicle? The fact that you've gone backward in models for an SFA suggests that you want to do more off-road use. If this is true then forget about the performance air filters ... that would be the biggest mistake you could make, the worst sin you could commit against the motor and it won't give you any significant improvement on performance over the original Donaldson filter.

As for the 4Y, they are notoriously slow but they are donkeys and IMO the best motor you could wish to have when overlanding into Africa. Spares are everywhere if you should need. IRO the fuel economy, you should be getting better than that, but you can do an EFI conversion which should up the power and improve the economy as well.

If you want a street racer, well, fit the motor of your choice. A Lexus V8 is'nt a bad alternative but you're not going to gain any fuel economy and you would ideally have to replace the gearbox as well, but the Lexus conversion guys can tell you more about all that.

Welkom Isak. Hoop jy geniet dit hier

[JohanM]

Welkom Isak,

Soos Andy genoem het, Los die performance filter uit. Dit werk nie so goed op 'n Donaldson Filtration system soos die Hilux het nie. Dit werk net vir road cars.

EFI is basies die beste opsie wat jy het om beter brandstof verbruik asook meer krag & wringkrag uit die enjin te kry.

[IVY]

Baie dankie vir die inligting.

Indien die EFI omskakeling gedoen word, hoe beskikbaar is onderdele in Afrika wanneer ek moeilikheid kry?

Wie sal dit kan installeer in die Wes-Kaap? Ken julle dalk iemand?
Het alles op die forum gelees van die 1800 Golf Carb en die EFI.

Watter mags is die beste? Staal of aluminium?
Ek kan nie besluit of ek die staal mags moet laat spray nie en of die nuwes te kry nie. Kry die aluminium mags nie makliker seer in die bos of op n 4x4 roete nie.
Ek gaan die bakkie eerste laat dyno om te sien of daar nie iets met die carb fout is nie.
Miskien is hy dan bietjie beeter.
Dankie

Isak die parte beskikbaarheid vir Afrika is nie 'n probleem nie. Die enigste iets wat moontlik kan oppak op 'n safari is die High pressure Fuel pump.

Mr_B het sy EFI gedoen, en dan kan jy met Maddoglips ook op die forum gesels. Hy het syne self gedoen. Jy kan ook by Hoppy ( Allan Venter) gaan kers opsteek oor die conversion. In my opinie is EFI meer betroubaar as 'n carb omdat jy dadelik weet as iets fout is. Ook die instalasie is baie belangrik.

Ek was al in Swaziland & Botswana & Lesotho met my EFI. Volgende Jaar is ek in die reen seisoen oppad Malawie toe en verwag geen probleme nie.

My EFI ombouing het so 40000km agter die rug en geen pyne nie.

[IVY]

Dankie Johan sal so maak.

[Traveler]

Baie welkom Isak.
Geluk met jou "nuwe" SFA.

[GeorgeJvR]

Isak welkom hier ek is seker jy sal al jou nodige info hier kry.
As ek mag vra wat het jy betaal?

[IVY]

Hi George
Ek het genoeg betaal oor die min km op die clock en die bakkie is in a baie goeie toestand ek dink nie hy is al baie ge 4x4 nie.
R80 000

[Spartan]

[quote="IVY"]What I want to do to this bakkie :evil: Need more power!!!!!![quote]
you can do allot but all depends on how much you want to spend
You could build yourself a very lekker van but I have said to much already

[ThysdJ]

but I have said to much already

You're just getting warmed up Jaco, why stop now? You haven't mentioned the "lang" word yet....

Isak dit wys maar net weer jaar modelle betekin niks as dit by 'n SFA kom nie dis die kondiesie wat die prys bepaal

I try to be decent here and not scare the man away

[Scorpion]

Welkom hier Isak!

Jy is beslis by die regte plek - 'n man met so baie Lux'e verdien sommer dadelik ere lidmaatskap! Ek stem saam met die manne hier, as jou van enigsins grondpad gaan sien, los daai performance filter in die shop. Al waarvoor hulle goed is is om groot voëls en klein pedestrians uit jou motor te hou.

Vir ekstra krag is daar 'n magdom opsies. EFI is seker die goedkoopste en maklikste, maar ek hou van BAIE krag. My Lexus gee my op die stadium so 7km/l op 35" bande = en hy's nog nie eers gedyno nie!

[000MSS]

Welcome to the Club!! Hope you have a great time here with Great Folk :gamer: :gamer:

[IVY]

Hi Johan

Ja nee baie krag se jy ek het op die net gesien hoe klink n Lexus V8 moet se^ dit het my nogal n lekker gevoel gegee rrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! :veryhappy:
Ek gaan eers al die klein probleme uitsort en voor ek met die engine begin speel.
Eers moet ek seeker n 4x4 roete ry voor ek enige iets anders doen net om weer die rrrrrrr te kry. :veryhappy:

Jaco ek scare nie so maklik nie

If you fit EFI, use a reliable ECU and mount it inside the cab high up on the firewall behind the dash (out of harm's way when doing water crossings). I can't really comment on the golf carb, but there are guys that have done it ... not too sure how successful it is for off-road angles (left / right tilt and incline / descent). You would have to hear from someone that's done it.

Fitting magnesium alloy rims for off-road is fine as long as they are suitably rated (sturdy). They are normally lighter than steel rims which reduces the unsprung weight which in turn improves general ride comfort. They have less inherent flex than steel and are generally a lot tougher but more brittle. The only time they will get hurt is if you de-bead a tyre on a rough / rocky surface or if you're running on under inflated tyres and hit an outcrop.

Thanks Andy

Looks like EFI is the way to go. Thanks for the info on the mags.
