Hangover se beurt vir n hartoorplanting

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:05 am

Ek is bly om te kan oor dra dat Mark Watson my cruizer se hartoorplanting gan doen!
Ek het maar besluit om met die 1UZ non VVT motor te gan met aftermarket fuel management en ek hou die ou gearboks want hulle kan mos nie breek nie.

Ek moet se eks opgewonde hoor

Baie gelyk.... hoop als loop voorspoedig

Ons het dieselfde conversion gedoen so 6 jaar gelede met n ou 4spd box, die box hou, maar die bearings hou nie, hulle kan nie die rpm's hanteer nie, ons het die bearings al drie keer vervang. Hulle sal die ratkas ook vorentoe moet skuif. Ten spyte daarvan is dit n baie lekker conversion.

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Thu Sep 20, 2012 8:45 am

Dan sal ek maar vorentoe kyk na n nuwe gearboks. Hoekom moet die ratkas geskuif word? 3 keer is 6 jaar is nie te bad nie

Die cruiser gan saterdag in! baie opgewonde!

Kyk, ek's baie jaloers! Maar baie geluk!

El het sopas weer R16k op my '78 HJ spandeer om die head en injectors oor te doen, maar wens nou ek het 2 jaar terug toe ek met die "restourasie" begin het liewer die 1UZ roete geloop. Oh well, ek sal maar net die thread dophou met verlange...

Ek sal seker maak ek neem klomp fotos van die storie maar na ek theo se cruiser gesien het het my alie teveel gejeuk an alles was aangehelp toe 4x4megaworld vir my gese het daar is nie ARB airlockers beskikbaar huidiglik in ZA nie toe krap ek nog n paar rand by mekaar en doen nou die 1UZ conversion. Die ekstra 25kW tussen die non VVT en die VVT motor was ook te verleidend so het maar besluit om die VVTi motor te laat insit.

Well mark is busy with the motor prep i think this takes a 2-3 weeks and in the meantime he is finishing up some of his other work so my van can get into a slot and then get started on! I know there is a few cars that is almost going out so hopefully mine will go quick!

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Tue Oct 09, 2012 4:59 pm

Jou lorrie is in goeie hande en jy sal nooit spyt wees nie - (1) Lexus het 'n goeie reputasie vir krag/torque/brandstof verbruik/betroubaarheid/durability. (2) Mark doen jou conversion.

Ek was gou bietjie die naweek by Mark hy ism besig om die enjin te prep en hopelik kom die ou ene vandag nog uit hier is paar fotos

sorry missed your call , have sent you some more pics . waiting on bellhousing and then we can start mounting the motor and all the small stuff around it , but did put a viscous fan on

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 8:18 am

Cool Mark!
Cant wait anymore will see you over the weekend! Just got the mail of the motor pics

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:12 am

Looking good Stef !

You will never be sorry about going with a viscous fan.We just came back from a very hot Cederberg weekend including Piekenierskloof pass at 37 deg C and the gauge didn't move from normal position at all.

mark watson · Post by **mark watson** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:16 am

great theo , even managed to get an inverted viscous steel blade fan ( fan sits behind the viscous ) which will work like a charm for milla

Mark told me thats the best way to go and as my van will be seeing botswana shortly i think that 37deg will be tested at 40+!

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 11:57 am

I am convinced Olive will handle that and more.But we probably did overkill things a bit with the larger oil sump, cerramic coated headers + balance pipe, perfect fan shroud and very free flow zaursts - it all adds up to a perfect setup

Yup mine will also have the 2 liter larger sump, balance pipe, new shroud, and free flow zaursts i dont know bout the ceramic coated heads! but im sure Mark will make mine as perfect as yours! Does your cruiser have the original Power steering box or is it the same as mine there in the front?

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Mon Nov 05, 2012 2:19 pm

It is not the heads but the headers/manifolds, Stef.

Yes we used my original P/S box but it had just been completely rebuilt

thx stef , theo , david

but crikey my stepdad turned 75 on friday and i still cannot get him off the lathe , he just wants more flywheels , adaptors and gearboxes to machine stef , so he will be climbing onto yours soon , and then another 4 x 80 series flys and then navara and then bmw x 4 ( even told him we cannot machine the whole gearbox but he modded the lathe to take the gearbox and ground the bed in its glory for the navara ) , there is no stopping this guy , i will have to bury the lathe with him :wth: :wth: :wth: , he says thats all dreams about at night.

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Tue Nov 13, 2012 8:18 am

I went to Mark over the weekend! I think he might have the bell-housing by today then he can weld in the new engine mounts and put the motor in... some pics...

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 10:35 am

So snappie van die cruiser se articulation
Ek kort langer shocks voor hulle trek tot in hulle limit in weet iemand watter sal pas? ek dink daar is N82 OME shocks voor op kort nog so 50mm travel ek dink...

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:29 am

Stef, you need to measure the max extension and compression lenths before you buy.Also compare the expected weight of your vehicle with that of the original vehicle that the particular shocks were intended for - some folks allow themselves to be blinded by max travel and ignore the rest of the factors, to only afterwards when it is too late, realise that Ford F250 shocks might give you longer travel but it leaves you with too little compression lenth not to mention a bone-shuddering harsh ride.On Olive I have N30(Colt D/C rear shocks IIRC) in the front and N75F (Hilux Extra lenth IIRC ) in the rear - do some homework and you will see why :wink2:

Post by **LouisZ** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:30 am

Stef die shock voor was die ou part# N81, 'n oog bo en onder. Ek sien wel jy het langer shacles ook in dan sal die shock beslis kort wees.

Die shock wat die N81 heeltemal vervang is die OME60032 wat dan 597mm(so 98mm langer) lanks sal wees of die OME60057 wat 559mm(66mm langer) lanks sal wees.

Post by **LouisZ** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 11:33 am

You right Theo, do not wit a F250 shock, ride comfort will be gone.

It was because of my shackle lift that I have the problem now... Should i remove the shocks in the front and measure the full and compressed lengths and buy accordingly? Louis jy kan dalk help hier?

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:27 pm

That's it.Load the vehicle to the ave expected load and then go flex it till max on a good crossaxle and measure the min and max distance pin to pin

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:31 pm

Ok cool will do so... I don't have problems at the back so loading the back wouldn't make much of a difference the front wont differ that much loaded as more of the weight will be on the back wheels and i wont load it too much...

Post by **LouisZ** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:44 pm

Stef hoe lank is die shackles van middel to middel van die penne?

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 12:54 pm

Louis ek sal moet gan meet as ek weer na Mark toe gan maar ek dink ek het hulle met 80mm verleng van die original shackles af...
Hier is die probleem van n ander kant af...

Post by **LouisZ** » Fri Nov 16, 2012 1:32 pm

Ok, lyk of die as dan hang aan die shock. As dit dan bv.80 + 70(OE) is dan is dit totaal 150mm. So die lift sou wees 70mm, dan soek jy 'n shock wat dan omtrent grooter of gelyk aan dit sal wees met lengte. Net een ding die kompresie lengte sal nou ook lanker wees, kyk na die bumpstop om die te lig.

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Mon Nov 19, 2012 8:59 am

Ok dankie Louis ek sal sodra ek hom terug het of weer by Mark n draai gan maak dit meet en dan die regte goet kry...

Nice work Mark !

Are you going to use the oem air filter housing or go custom with a snorkle setup ?

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:42 am

For now ill stick with the OEM filter housing I dont really like to go into the water as water and mud breaks stuff

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Tue Nov 20, 2012 2:27 pm

Then you can use the stock OEM FJ filters which are much better for dusty bush conditions

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Wed Nov 21, 2012 7:51 am

Are you talking about the stock FJ45 filter or new FJ cruiser?

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Wed Nov 21, 2012 8:09 am

FJ 40/45 but if you could find a BJ 40/42 / HJ45/HJ47 housing, even better !

Hangover · Post by **Hangover** » Wed Nov 21, 2012 7:21 pm

My cruiser had the OEM FJ45 filter in before the conversion and Mark is going to use it so that's not a problem
