Watter Lexus enjin is hierdie?

[TJL]

Hi Almal, ek is lekker confused met al die lexus enjin afkortings, en dit selfs na ek op die site rongesoek het :wth: al wat ek graag wil weet, watter enjin is in die foto hierby? is dit 'n goeie enjin? parte beskikbaar ens? min of meer watter model lexus kom hy uit? kw en torque? asseblief manne - baie dankie.

O ja, ek oorweeg om te upgrade vanaf die (3L) 2.8D huidiglik net oor een rede -krag - of die gebrek daaraan, betroubaarheid is egter uitstekend, ek gaan nie self die conversion doen nie, kyk daarna om ander lux te koop wat reeds gedoen is, en dan sal "Smokey" seker maar moet gaan

Dit lyk soos die middelste een, daar was drie generasies van die 4.0l, 165, 185 en 205 kw. Die 165 kw een het plat exhaust manifolds gehad en sy olie filter sit agter, daai lyk soos die 185 kw een, die 205 kw een het ronde injector rails en n groot cover oor die enjin.

1995 Model, yes difference is cosmetic, but otherwise it's pretty difficult to tell the difference between the first 2 generations:

Thanks Guys - at least I have a starting point now, geeeee one feels overwhelmed by all these differences!! Without opening a can of worms - is this engine recommended (it has a manual gearbox)??

The Lexus V8 is legendary! Note though that you'll have to drive it very sedately if that manual box it going to last... lately I've heard of a few Lexus V8 owners who have opted for the auto-box after destroying a few manual transmissions!

Personally I'd go for the auto-box setup!

I would never use an auto box for off-road ..... personal preference. If that Lexus comes with a manual box, then surely it's designed to handle the motor's torque. If I were to do a Lexus conversion, I would look for a front-cut with manual box.

I am not sure if it is a lexus box, or just adapted std SFA box, i guess that would make a difference, I have only seen pics of the lux, will hopefully visit today and then try to make out, tx again for the help

Unfortunately no vehicle anywhere in the world, fitted with the 1 UZ motor, had a manual gearbox.
A lot of people use the W and G series boxes with success. You have to adapt your driving style though for the box to last.

You can use a R series box (KZTE/ Surf) they do last

That was my take on auto-boxes as well, until I took my V6 to the dunes. You can manually select 1,2,3 in low/high range, and then the transmission will only gear up if you are about to over rev the engine! I believe that if you use a tuneable gearbox controller, like the Spitronics or Dicktator ones, you will be able to set it to act just like manual in 1,2,3.
