Die as sal pas, maar met die ratio's gaan daar miskien n probleem wees.

Kan iemand dalk vir my se of daar i verskil is ?

Thank you for the info mates. I have a 22R 4x4 with a 4.88 exel ratio. I would love to change the crown to better/better ratio for more speed,less consumption. When the revs are at 3k I must get 140km/h. Or should I put a diesel engine and turbocharge? I've done a petrol to diesel conversion on my isuzu and it flying with very good consumption. Thank gents

Being a 4x4 you would have to change both diffs, so that would be low on my option list IRO the cost involved. I would rather look at fitting some bigger tyres, which would achieve a similar result. However the 22R is a little under powered to drive 33" tyres adequately and I've found that 31's is a good all round option - even the speedo is more accurate when compared to GPS speeds.

Changing diff ratios or fitting bigger tyres to get more open road legs is all fi8ne and well, but it comes at a price. You're going to be doing a lot more gear changes and using higher revs with city / town driving and the scales tip back in favour of heavier fuel consumption. On the open road at 3000rpm you might be able to get 120kmph (never 140 with that size motor)but you will find it lacking when you want to overtake - it's going to be sluggish. Even headwinds and small up hills will force you down to 4th gear .... there goes your fuel economy.

So perhaps you should be looking at fitting another motor. The Ford WL 2.5 diesel motor is a good option and not too pricey. The Toyota D4D 2.5 or 3.0 are a better option but way more pricey. You have some deliberating to do. Good luck.
