Shopping list

[Blue Tortoise]

Good day.
I purchased a 1998 2.4 D/C Ltd edition. It is in pristine condition with all the accessories needed. One problem, it sucks juice like a V8. Before joining this forum I have read about the EFI conversion. Is there anyone who can give me a shopping list of all components needed to do this conversion. All previous posts are pre 2010, is there any updates or advice please

[dantjie]

Welcome and congrats on your purchase on your LTD I myself also have one and just finished my EFI conversion but still need to test the fuel consumption on it but the bakkie drives so much smoother after the conversion.

Your basic list is:
Bottom manifold
Top manifold
injectors
fuel rail
throttle body
management (DICKTATOR OR WHAT YOU WANT)

Thanks man. sorry for being a bit dim, from what make and model must I source the parts from. Thanks for such a quick response.

[dantjie]

Hi no such ting as dim question the 22r-e we never got in south Africa so you would have to source one on the net or just keep eyes on your post im sure there is someone here that can help you better than me im not so familiar with importing things you only got the EFI over seas that is the down side of it all. But that it works better I can confirm its really worth it for me.

[Blue Tortoise]

Thanks Danie. Now my search begins. Where di you get your kit from? Do I have to post the question somewhere else on this site or just wit and see

Hi Geoff

I have a 2.4 with EFI ,bought mine like that,do not expect far better fuel consumption ,better power delivery more torque ,better off road driving,a real pleasure to drive

speak to Louis (4x4megaworld) on the forum he has done a few conversions, he may know were to get parts.As I understand must be imported from overseas

Thanks Martin. I'm not sure how the site works but I'll look him up. Anything is better than 4.7 - 5.2 km/l

Geoff I bought mine off the forum by a guy and had it for tow years before I did the conversion but I must say so happy so far realy speak to te guy from 4x4 megaworld he will guide you in the right direction good luck.

Geoff have a look at some of the engine importers as when I had a 4Y they were willing to swop carb for fuel injection manifold and that consumption looks very high looks as if something is wrong maybe speak to kempton carb and they might have some advise.

Engine importers rarely import th3 22re, the chance is 1% you find one.

Keep in mind guys at E-Bay are very reluctant to export so South Africa. Look carefully what the add says, I tried a few with no success. Remember too when you import that one can add almost a bit less on the value of the Manifolds cost price to transport then add vat only to the part itself. Then you add 10% Tax to the value of the part.

Lets say you use the Add that Stampie put on, $175 = R1955.20 for the manifold, R1850 for freight, R240 Vat and then R177.75. The total will come to R4022.95 roughly depends on the exchange rate and the amount used on freight. Also depends on South Africa's customs as well, they tend to overcharge sometimes. Above is only on the Manifold on its own.


The rest for the Efi conversion is easy to get in South Africa, ecu either Dicktator or Splitronics.

The one I bought, was in Ohio in the USA.
I bought it through E-Bay. According to the EBay add, the didn't export to countries outside the US.
He wanted $150. I offered him $100 which he accepted.
Through guys in Bellville who imports from the US, it was landed for R1600 (All import costs)

Louis it has been a while since I have looked for EFI parts as I have put the KZTE in but one of my friends was a engine importer and I have a costumer that also imports.They sometimes import tsunami containers and containers from the UK that are a lucky dip when you open the container.My mate used to fly over and hand pick the motors needed for stock which I suspect that most would not import the 22Re but I have come across the 4Y fuel injection and still have one on the shelf.

[LouisZ]

The 4Y Efi's are easy to get, I also have I think 2 one available.

But the 22RE Efi's are rarely imported into SA by the inporters.

[Blue Tortoise]

Thanks for everyone's input. Now all I have to do is wait to see if one is found. Louis is the 22re the one that fits my 2.4 motor????

[dantjie]

Yip you must look for a 22RE intake manifold, with all components if you can. Its going too look similar to this.

[Blue Tortoise]

Help!!!!! Has anyone got a spare 22RE EFI unit lying around that they no longer have a use for??? Hahaha

[Willied]

Why not laser a flange and have it alu welded? Add a throttle body and fuel rail from one of the speed and sound adds and you are sorted.. Should be less expensive than an import..

[Blue Tortoise]

Thanks Willied.
will check it out. It was my original plan , but bolt on is so much easier. If i find a solution I will let everyone know.
