Dankie Christo! Sal nog daai cam profiles by jou moet kry! :cooldude: Dawie, ek vermoed dit kan die geval wees.. Sal hom op 'n dyno sit en kyk hoe dit hom beinvloed. Indien dit pla sal ek by Subaru steel en die pyp ovaal maak om oor die ander pype te loop en sodoende 'n kort roete te gee na die filt...

Update: Some weekend and evening work saw me making slow progress and finally found someone else who had the time and space to take on the project. For now the 3GR-FE is out and the 1UZ-FE will do.. No standard ECU's was available and didn't want a limp V6 running some of its power compared to the V...

Willied

Blade pack = leaf pack, i.e. leaf springs like you already have. I think what Willie means is to leave the leaf spring packs but to assist them with coil over shocks for heavier loads. :winkx: This is what I meant yes.. Take out the leafs/blades that do the hard work and keep the leafs that locate ...

Willied

Thanks Knuppel, I will contact them.

Toyrover, I will be looking at using my blade pack to position the axle and give it maximum flex while the coils will be tasked with the firmness of the suspension. I think this is a safer option to avoid death wobble and the like.

Willied

Toyrover, if I were to do a mod like yours I would try and copy an existing vehicles setup, maybe a 80 Series Land Cruiser.

Knuppel, who did the conversion on your vehicle and what coil overs did you use?

Willied

Hey guys, any progress here?

Willied

Hello Willie Is dit die thread waaroor jy my nou die dag gekontak het? Dankie dit was ja.. One problem you have with fitting a short block V6 is that the gearbox needs to be moved forward atleast 60mm, you have to mod the X member, both props and the gearlevers ens up under the radio. The bell hous...

Willied

Update: Currently time is a big constraint and it might have opened a door to something new.. Enter the 3GR-FE 3.0l V6 by Toyota. After the FJ has been treating me well the 1GR-FE has been teasing me as a great option for the Hilux, but at a purchase price of R48k without gearbox or ECU it is too st...

Willied

Louis, dis die plan ja.. Dan werk die VVTI soos dit moet. Stef, ek moet erken, die 100km wat hy geloop het was vet pret.. Krag was goed in daardie lyf en was soos 'n vark in modder, in Palastina..lol Toe die realiteit slaan het die saak effens verander. Dit gaan my nou dubbel kos, maar ek sal die so...

Willied

Way forward: Cut out all the odd bits and bobs that needs reworking.. Fit a decent radiator, gearbox cooler and fans with the current motor as dummy.. Re-fabricate engine mounts and gearbox cross member.. Then ship the truck off to my place where I will slot the replacement motor into place with a p...

Willied

Dankie Louis,

sal hom biedjie vir jou kom wys.. kort paar goedjies vir hom..

Ja ek het nog die Hilux, sal nou biedjie op die "Build" afskaal en hom my werk bakkie maak.. soms nog biedjie speel met hom.

Willied

Hangover, ek is bewus daarvan dat baie mense gelukkig is met die werk wat hy gedoen het.. Myne, not so much.. Motor is dood na 100km Engine mounts sit skeef Radiator sirkuleer net in die boonste derde Radiator fan housing is afgesny dat hy pas Gearbox mount is niks werd nie Gearbox lek olie by die s...

Willied

Nuutste.. Rekening om reg te maak wat Mark gebreek het is meer as waarvoor die bakkie verkoop en dan sluit dit nie opknap werk in nie.. Dit sou ek gedoen het as die meganies sound was, maar dit is dalk nie in die bakkie se toekoms nie..

In die meantime het ek ander plan gemaak..

Willied

Lyk my jy het `n dud enjin gekry. Gaan jy hom herstel of is dit nou 1UR tyd. Wag net dat Driko my lat weet wat my opsies is en die koste en dan sal ek besluit ja.. Op minste sal dit 'n 4.3l wees wat terug gaan in daai lyf in.. Ek weet nie of dit bloot 'n dud was en of dit sommer 'n vorige "moc...

Willied

Turbo diesels are rather easy.. Bigger intercooler (as the KZ suffers from heat).. Meth injections, standard Devil's own kit.. Proper free flow.. And depending on your wallet, bigger turbo..

Willied

I am not sure about Capetown for a supplier, I know there is one in PE and Pretoria. Maybe worth the call.. CARBURETTOR WORLD CC 95 Du Toit St Pretoria Central 012 324 4444 As for old pipes and the like.. Drop them and get it over with.. preventative maintenance can even keep Landies running.. :siff...

Willied

Dankie Andre, ek sal daai 'n biedjie lees..

Hierdie is hoe die motor aan die binnekant lyk..

Willied

Hugo, het jy toe al kans gehad om met die man te praat?

Willied

What's the difference between the different weber carbs available? Different model numbers dictate specific features the carbs had. The DCD is a mechanical progressive carb meaning it had two intakes "tubes" and one would only open past 50-60% throttle.. Increased economy. As for the DGAV...

Willied

Duane, you have made up your mind so I am not going to try and convince you about pro's and con's.. Fact is petrol injectors do millions of kilometers before they give hassles.. Diesel injectors are the sensitive ones. I had a Weber 36DCD on the Lux with great results. Set the float yourself for the...

Willied

Christo, lyk of ek sal moet.. 1UZ is ISM.. Het 'n dood sertifikaat en alles.. een valve se kop is af en glo daar is 'n paar goed meer as net 'n spark plug stukkend geslaan..

Hugo, soos hy sê, wat wil jy hê, hulle doen alles.. Kya Sands/Midrand area.

Willied

Ja nee ek kan nie.. Het al gesien hoe ek weer een moet mis.. Maar nou draai die dinge, die motor is reeds vrydag uit gewees na ek hom donderdag afgegooi het.. Behoort maandag/dinsdag te weet wat die skade was en of hy gered gaan word.. Hoop eintlik hy is dood.. Upgrade tyd.. Wil die Yank manne skrik...

Willied

And there is progress.. after many promises I dropped the "van" off at Grootseun yesterday.. Motor is out and now to see what the verdict is.. Really positive about it for once..

Willied

Mark, and that is the dark art.. Jetting and working out ventures is more play than calculate..

Willied

Duane, my EFI controller was fitted behind the dashboard.. How deep would you want to wade.. As for low down torque, not true.. The intake manifold on the multi point fuel injection is longer than that of the carb giving more torque. My stock motor made 230Nm below 2000rpm and 81kW at 3800rpm.. Good...

Willied

Andy, the water level in die radiator was below the motors pick up so it seems like it was drinking/leaking water.. And to top it off the bottel was not feeding back to the radiator.

Willied

Christo ek vermoed ek is uit my diepte uit, Hylton het gese hy sal met groot graagte die motor vir my deur gaan en uitsort. Alles klink net vir hom biedjie fishy en hy wil self agter die kap van die byl kom. Jy sal hom op Community ken as 3Bar.. Sodra hy laat weet hoe sy dinge gaan werk sal ek die H...

Willied

Dankie Louis, reeds reggemaak en toe die motor onegalig loop die kompressie nagegaan..

Vordering:

Willied

Chris, on mine he used one of the Spits outputs to switch the fan on.. Check the fan terminals if you haven't as yet as they are just spade connectors pushed into a plug..

Willied

Cam timing is fine..

Radiator is missing lots of water..

Looking more and more like a replacement motor..

Willied

Yes Willie, Jammer om te hoor van die moeilikheid. Myne het sleg ge-idle maar met hoër refs was hy beter. Dit was toe die OCV (Oil control valve) op een bank wat vasgesteek het. Dis die ene wat die valve timing verander. Dis 10 minute se werk om hom te ruil, dalk is dit dit. Cheers, C Chris, hy idl...

Willied

Christo, dis presies wat n pel vir my reken. Nou is die volgende probleem daar is n biedjie van n knock, kon moontlik reeds n valve geslaan het. Op duurste is dit n nuwe motor.

Willied

Update: Poked motor was installed in the Bakkie (left bank failed compression test).. I have taken it apon myself to finish this project at home with some skilled friends. I will keep you posted.

Willied

Baie dankie Hans.. Ek wil net nie ac bou en dan voel ek dit skaars nie..

Willied

Kan jy moontlik nog van daai Alu ringe maak of 'n skets gee dat mens een kan laat sny?

Willied

Subaru has a disc/drum combo which makes the handbrake easier to setup..

Willied

Coenie, ek het onlangs 'n 1UZ laat inbou met automaties.. Het nog die 5spd met bellhousing as jy sou belangstel.

Willied

Agteros, nee nee.. moenie wees nie, ek is net bad luck met voertuie.. Suzi het ook foutloos tot by 175 000km gekom en toe slaan die weerlig haar..

Willied

I rather like these products!

Willied

Sorry for the long period without any posts.. the Hilux isn't running..

End Feb it is a year since it was running.. Will be sending it to someone to complete the build so it is atleast running before I get to finish it like it should be.

Willied

Welcome to the forum..

First question; How much do you have to spend? This one question will answer all your questions..

Willied

So biedjie terugvoer, bakkie staan nog net waar ek hom in die garage gelos het. Spits se manne is nog nie voltallig na die vakansie nie en behoort Maandag eers te kyk na wat presies fout is met die EMU. Dan as daar voorraad is kan ons dit omruil en dan verder beweeg. Intussen het ek my aandag geskui...

Willied

Willie Dit lyk regtig baie netjies, het jy die Surf transfer op die outobox gebruik? Hansman, nee ek het die Hilux se oorspronklike transfer gehou, Mark het net 'n adapter tussen die auto en die transfer gesit. Glo dit is een van Gilo Engineering se stukkies kuns. Ek sien ook uit daarna dat ek ekst...

Onthou Willie - beloftes maak skuld !

Ek sal verseker daarby bly..

Willied

Going well to a point.. As with all conversions some teething pains to sort out. I got the Hilux back on Thursday and drove it home. After a refuel stop early in the trip the EMU dropped the map and the truck ran a little uneven and would die on idle. I couriered the EMU back to Mark who has taken i...

Willied

Goeie dag Peet, wys biedjie watse bonnet vents jy opgesit het asb.

Willied

Hans, die hoe is nie aldag maklik en 'n 5 min verduideliking nie. Die Nov uitgawe van speed and sound het 'n redelike goeie artikel ingehad oor deure spesifiek, maar die kort en lank daarvan is mens moet die staal se frekwensie verander en en keer dat dit saam met die luidspreker beweeg en sy eie kl...

Willied

'n Groot deel van die Hilux se klank probleem is ander klank in die kajuit wat van die motor en pad geraas kom. Jy kan die beste stelsels he, maar as die pad hom dood raas hoor jy steeds niks nie. Ek stel voor jy laat die deure stel dat hulle redelik dig seel en dan geld bestee aan klank verdigting....

Willied

Keeping with the 4spd as it can be locked for crawling. Manual won't hold out long.

Was quoted 8 weeks but the motor should be running Friday.

You are close enough for a test spin once it is ready. Will give you a shout.

Willied

Running a SC and the rest of the components will stay the same. Not on mad 33 or 35's so the diffs (4,875) should hold up fine as the 31's turn with ease. Rear prop will be 30mm shorter but the angles will stay the same. The front prop will be 30mm longer and will have a (very slightly) better angle...

Willied

Originally Mark would have done a non VVTI build for me, less electronics and still decent power for the light weight truck. Then spits came out with the Mercury that would run the VVTI without hassle.. As the non VVTI motors are becoming more and more scarce with time their price went up and we fou...

Willied

So for the last couple of years since 2008 I have been slowly building up my Hilux to become what I would want in a competent 4x4.. More replacing everything that broke than actually restoring it. Only parts of the original drive train left is the transfer case and the front diff.. Everything else w...

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..

Willied

Louis, klink of my bakkie vir jou gaan kom kuier as hy klaar is.. Wat sal 'n stel hangers/shackles kos vir daardie vere?

Willied

Hey Rob, remember to show us the bumper..

Willied

Did you get to pick up your parts Rob?

Willied

2-3 weeks..

I will only get to see it monday, please let me know what you think of the color choice of the motor.. :D
