Not to sure, i know its aluminum but other than that not much else

but guys been running Lexus v8 conversions on hilux 2.7 radiators without hassles. so i recon its fine?

pampoen

Mark that t piece you talk of my 2.7 rad doesn't have it.Did you make that up?or did you adapt the drain plug?have you taken the rad cap off and replaced it with a stop cap like you spoke of?

pampoen

Do any of you 7mge guys have this problem where your plugs get wet and your engine starts running really rough?no power,ETC as soon as i get water on the deck where the plugs sit this happens,any idea y?

Luke, I have plenty of school fees in this department. First thing to do is 1. fit ARP steel head bolts and throw those stretch bolts in the bin 2. Fit a Cometic head gasket ( steel gasket with layers) You can get it from turbo and nos in Jetpark for around R1800. I blew 3 gaskets before doing this...

whats a jumbo box?

pampoen

How's the head gasket? I'm running a lexus with a 2.7 Raid and a 16'' fan with the std hilux expansion bottle and I'm still waiting for it to heatup. Drove in thick sand and water 3 week ago, running the motor in 4L 2nd gear at 6000Rpm's for 15minutes flat. Nothing, she was runnin at 85C. If you ar...

true it has to come out somewhere, could it somehow be that its comeing out the overflow? It is possible, as I have noticed most guys running either the 7M or 1UZ engine conversions have replaced the STD expansion bottle with one from either a VW or Similar pressurised expansion bottle. Maybe that ...

My 7mge is overheating something terible! ive got a brand new 2005 2.7 hilux rad connected to the old 2.2 overflow cooling her with a 13 inch electric fan.somehow the radiator keeps losing fluid :sobbing: and no its not leaking.any thoughts :problem:

Whats the pro in converting to origonal ecu?

pampoen

Carlo Voetsek's 7MGE is managed by a Dicktator EMU, that baby is awesome, I believe it achieves over 140kw on the dyno! If he can do it, then anyone can!Mr B Try 152 kw Bretton... but he pays for it in fuel bills... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: So this is just flywheel power then. :think: interest...

pampoen

interesting!but i am disapointed with the power shes putting out now ,She put out 138 hp on the wheels last dyno which i think was a bit pap considering she did put out 180 and is capable of pushing 200 plus,i just need to get that silly comp to ecu cable made up and then i can tune.

pampoen

Must agree with Thys, the quality of the conversion has alot to do with the end result... Luke, from our correspondence, you've got a way to go before 7MGE conversion can be judged, once the EMU is setup right for the engine you will see a significant difference... on my 4Y EFi conversion, once the...

pampoen

True.im a bit disappointed actually.Dont tell anyone:) The powers ok but not brilliant! its a toyota engine though and the standard transmission doesn't have to be changed,and that does save if your considering a conversion....What about a super charger?

pampoen

Flip thanks man.What cord will i need to connect the box to computer?

pampoen

Thanks man!

pampoen

Sorry sounds like a stupid question but how would it be set up normally? its not the option when your in the tuning program to tell the injectors to give a certain percentage of fuel depending on what the temp is?

pampoen

Sorry if i missed something but whats the point of a rotating shackle?

pampoen

when i start it in the morning it usually takes about 4 tries to get it to start idling and even then idles very rough.Has anyone had this trouble before? i dont ave an air sensor or lambda sensor fitted,just a throttle body connected to a dictator unit,ive heard that one has to map out the cold sta...

pampoen

Firstly ide lie to say that my babies on the road again :clap: i managed to sort the problem, turns out that interference from the magnetic fields the leads and coil was producing was freaking the box out,but after separating the harness from the leads we managed to dyno her again only getting 135 h...

pampoen

If there is a short between the two wires that goes on to a injector it will instantly blow the computer ass the computer triggers the supply that goes to the injector instead of the negative side of the injector so look there first.Normaly the people that fixes the computers can tell on what sircu...

pampoen

you mean the leads?

My bakkie has a problem with the wiring loom.as it was ticking over it started flooding the cylinders with petrol.the box was repaired i just sent it into dictator and some thing blew a component in the box ,please help!!!! i need to get it going before the weekend!!! its the prawn and jazz festival...

Guys what would it take to charge your normal aspirated engine? obviously a supercharger,a friend recomended the Benz c230 kompressor charger,but as for mounting it on the engine,and rigging up a pully system,what else?

Gerdus,ive heard the Borg warner t5 gearbox is flippin strong even google it, save yourself a fortune in repairs and buy the 5spd box,buy an adaptor plate and your gearbox problems are over!!then save for landcruiser inners:)) and dont moan about the price because youve got the fastest hilux bakkie ...

pampoen

what are the ratios on the 2.7 gearbox? and what do they sell for? ive heard is just a straight bolt on,maybe a cressida box even?

pampoen

Y are Landrovers riveted together? to make them easier to take apart after you've finished playing with them.

pampoen

Really the correct question should be help.Im revving the brains out of her at 150 km and quiet simply need more legs.Would the 2000 2.7 5spd box work? also maybe getting higher ratios for the diffs , what do your great minds recommend? and please dont tell me i must keep my origional box because ev...

Ill support you all the way bru!!

The rattles,the fact that im always finding more rust than i can emotionally handle!! the rest of the problems have been caused by me though,,i feel like shes the target of this abusive relationship!!

i love her though!!! with all my heart!!

pampoen

Wouldn't this affect your belly clearance though having the surge tank gravity fed from the main tank?surely it would be better to have it fed with a little pump somewhere higher up on the chassis?

pampoen

Cool guys thanks for info but whats this Facet fuel pump? i see my setups completly wrong,my tank cover plate hangs about 50mm lower than before as a result :{ never let a drag racer from a certain area near durban do your fuel system conversion!!

pampoen

what low pressure pump would you recommend? as i dont have a low pressure mechanical pump like the old 2.2

pampoen

When i did my 7mge conversion i placed the fuel pump directly under the fuel tank and it is connected to a surge tank fuel cell which is fed from a hole in the bottom of the tank and connected to my VW 2.5 fuel pump which when on level ground does splendidly well,but im guessing because of the compa...

Hi guys how hard is it to change your timing belt?you would think i knew how

whats the difference between setting timing with carb and efi?

pampoen

In fact its almost as smooth as Jack Daniels, twice as smooth, triple distilled!

pampoen

Hey Dizzy your 7mge is a very very nice engine not as powerfull as a 4l v6 but much smoother in my opinion.If you want more info ill give you a run down of what i used.So far ive had zero problems.offroad and in the sand its a dream!!:):):):)

thanks.Guys what is the duel length flap on the inlet manifold?

pampoen

Does anyone know how much one of these conversions would cost?

pampoen

I was thinking about my hiluxes hard ride.How hard would it be to convert the leaves to coil?,one could use landcruiser 80 coils and axles,with the origional cruiser disks for good measure and all you would have to worry about would be setting the mounts right.Now correct me if im wrong but i believ...

pampoen

Hi, you can adjust the cam timing by moving the dowel pins to another hole, there are three positions on each cam, you can play around, but retarding the exhaust snd advancing the inletshould give more power at high rpm. Switching the dual length flap :think: in the inlet manifold will add another f...

pampoen

5 thumbs up thysdj What gearbox are you going for?

pampoen

Hoppy knows just use a steel head gasket and tighten with hi tensile head bolts.

pampoen

Looks like im gonna have to attemt this myself.:)

pampoen

:) does anyone have any experience with raising the compression?

pampoen

Its a really nice motor i have to agree man just a question,what flywheel are you using?

pampoen

mmm so basically im getting the feeling to leave it alone because its a waste of time and if i do mess with it im gonna die.:)

pampoen

When did you get your single cab 4x4?

pampoen

But you still havn't answered my other question.
