Hilux 4x4 Forum

Hi all, Doing a project vehicle. 1990 RN130 4runner. was the home of the mighty 22r but it's out and never going back in. What I'd love to do is put a Holden (GM) LS1 engine with 6 speed manual box. Has anyone over there done this? I'm planning on buying a used engine, strip it, stroke it maybe and ...

Hi, mcw, the 22r is carby and the 22re is efi here. interesting if they never introduced the 22re there. most 22 engines here are efi hence my difficulties in finding a similar vehicle here. Plus I don't live anywhere near a city. Mud Dog, I've got them, but they're not the same as my toy. Mine's a ...

Hi,
can someone who has an rn130 running a 22r please take some pictures of the vacuum hose set up?
I have some vacuum issues and can't understand the diagram properly.
Oh, yeah, can you also post them here or e-mail me directly if easier and allowed.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers

Hi all, My toy has started to do something wierd. starts first go, idles for as long as I want without issue, then we go forward. all good for a few hundred metres, then it "stalls" for half a second then continues for a bit, then "stalls"... By stalls, my best way to describe it...

Greetings all. My YN63 finally died after hitting several trees, a cliff face and the bottom of the cliff. So I bought an RN130R with automatic disconnecting differential. But she has a problem. When I push the 2/4 wd selector switch, no dash light. I can clearly hear a click where the add control b...

Hi all, Recently bought a 1990 ssr 4runner with a 22r motor. Pretty sure I need a new alternator, but asking first. 2 weeks ago, had a rotten egg smell come from the car. got the battery tested at my auto shop, and it said bad-replace, so I did. i've done about a thousand or so km's since. Last nigh...

Hi again all. As per my last post, my 4runner is about to go into my workshop for some big time, or medium time work. It currently runs a not so massive 4y with all of 73kw of power. Laws in Australia allow me to go a 26% power increase. That's it. So can anyone recommend an engine that will bolt st...

Hi all, Question...... Had a mishap off road. long story, short version, I got ran off the off road and killed a few trees. bull bar stuffed, some panel damage, but was able to drive home but the alignment is definately out. I think I have done a serious doodah to the front left wishbone. The bolt f...

appreciate your input mud dog.
i didn't think it would, but there's no harm in asking.
We're just goint to get a new steering box as we already have the pump, pipes and reservoir.

I recently installed air into my 85 4runner yn63. Now I wish that I had just had a specialist do it for me in the first place. After several problems, I ended up paying more for him to fix it than he would have charged me to put it all in properly. If sourcing yourself, that is where the big problem...

forgot to mention, his is an ln106.
cheers

Hi all, I've got a question. I've got power steering on an ln60 that is never going to run again. My mate has no power steering, but his steer box isn't power. Mine is an ssr surf 1986 and he has a hilux dual cab 1986 without torsion suspension so his steer box linkage goes towards the front drivers...

yes, it is a 2l-t

Hi all, i am back after quitea break, but am glad to say my 85 4yc is still running up hills. i have just been given a 1986 ssr turbo diesel and have a few questions for you all. firstly, a whils e back, therewas a post that detailed download info for all sorts of workshop manuals for4 runners and s...

is there a trick to uploading? file type or size?
i want to put mine up here but it says my pic is invalid.
please help....
i tried using the attatch below but no luck......

can anyone advise me on swapping out my headlights? i currently have sealed beam, but would prefer to have removable globes. i don't want to change the outward appearance though. if i have to install new attatchment points inside the engine bay, that's fine. has anyone done this? and can someone sug...

pietpetoors wrote:Is the firing order correct, if you swop 2 and 3 it will also sound like a lawnmower

i'm sure it's correct. it was working before i pulled the head off and i was careful to label everything before removing, then labeled where i took it off. but that sound is now gone

Push-rods?? 4Y has hydraulic tappets. :eh: the metal rods that push them up (tappets) and allow the spring to close them (valves). sorry if i have used the wrong term as i'm not as knowledgable about engines as most of you are. the lawnmower sound has gone now, but i have a knocking/ticking sound a...

sorry about the delay in pictures, but my toy looks far too sad in my carport without half it's engine. all going well, she'll be posing on a beach or two this weekend.

Having the head checked for cracks and then machined. the engineer advised me to replace push rods as he measured them and the inlet ones for 3 and 4 were just a bit warped. hopefully this will fix the problem and i'll be able to get it on the road this weekend. oops, i meant off road!!!!!

wow, so many warm welcomes. thank you to all.
i'll post pics later today.
i'm sure i'll like it here...

big thanks... the taro manual is actually for the 4runner 4y-c! hooray!!!!

Cheers FD. the 85 manuals are all for a 22r or 22re engine, which i don't have. but i'm downloading the vw taro which claims to be for the 4y. will let you know if it all works out, after all, quality vehicles need to be tuned correctly with all the various gaps set right. but you never know, i migh...

Thanks for your welcome. i'm sure it will come good, then i can get out there and upload pics to entice even more of your countrymen over here (hehe). most likely something simple (like me!)

How to introduce ones self?
1985 4runner,
think that about says it.
Oh yeah, am in australia.

Hi everyone. I just bought a 1985 4runner with a 4y motor and a blown head gasket.
Had no problems changing the gasket but now my toy sounds like a lawnmower.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
I can't find a service manual for a 4y engine anywhere and thought i'd ask here.
