Did I find a lexus motor for my KZTE?

Bushwacker · Post by **Bushwacker** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 5:32 pm

I have found a lexus motor with bellhousing & flywheel for my KZTE in Gesiena near Pretoria from Fana van Zyl.
fanavanzyl@gmail.com 08free75two1six55
It will be bench tested, new rear oilseal, new cambelt, new plugs, injectors cleaned, and a spitronic management system. all for R20500.00,
I will only have 4 wires to connect to the vehicle as I was told.
How does that sound?

Hardware...

Price...

Easiest conversion ever...

What about Radiator, etc...

redhummer · Post by **redhummer** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 5:47 pm

If you talking about the 2000 and on model I would stay with the KZ radiator. I had the 5L engine (real rubbish)and bought the kz radiator to fit my UZ Worked no problem. The only differance in the two were the bottom tanks.

Bushwacker · Post by **Bushwacker** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:25 pm

Yes, I use the existing KZ radiator with 2x 14" fans in the front.
The bell housing & flywheel is R6000.
the engin is R6500.
Spitronic is R3500.
I know the 8 sparkplugs are expensive too.
The oil seal & cambelt is genuine parts.
The rest I'm not sure of, Labour etc. But the fact that the engin is tested is cool.
PS. it includes oil & filter

BMW 740I V8 RADIATOR 40MM CORE :shifty:

redhummer · Post by **redhummer** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:24 pm

Yea..The BMW radiator is an option. The adventage of the KZ radiator is it is there in the first place and there is no mod required. The BMW fans are really worth looking at, there is a three speed available and it is of very nice quality. If you go that route you can set up the first speed for the A/C and use the other two for engine cooling. But they do cost around R2200

Rian · Post by **Rian** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:38 pm

If you don't want to battel with overheating its the way to go! I fitted one in my Hilux with 2 x 14" fans at the back of the radiator & believe me no overheating problems not even while 4x4 ing in the mud on a hot summers day.

redhummer · Post by **redhummer** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:53 pm

I dont do 4x4 so wouldnt know how that would affect things but ill tell you this, I pull a trailer that weighs one ton, load three onto it. Half to three quater ton on the back of the hilux and pull it up the passes in Nelspruit with not a sign of overheating. Personal preferance really

Is the spitronic the right way to go?

It will most probably be the easiest out of the box installation as they make an installation kit specific for the Lexus with all the tooties included and some extra bells and wistles but I believe in the reliability of the Dicktator system and until I see otherwise from Spittronics wrt reliability I will continue to recommend Dicktator which has been running the same stable version of the ECU for a few years already.

Almost a year later I've had no problems with my Spitronics. As long as the installation was done properly you shouldn't have a problem... I've seen Fana's guys soldering and shrink wrapping looms before so I wouldn't worry....

Piet

Ja ek weet Fana like meer van manual as auto maar het jy al 'n auto conversion oorweeg, ek meen daai 15-20Hp op topend is regtig die moeitewerd om te verloor vir al die gerief en gemak van 'n autobox. Jy bou mos nie 'n dgarster nie.

EK sal nie eers dink om 'n Lexus op 'n manual te hardloop nie, V8s en autoboxe is soos pap en boerewors. Ja jy kan jou pap seker met like it lean viennas ook eet en niks cholestrol kry nie, maar niks beat pap en boerewors nie:thumbup:

Gertc · Post by **Gertc** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 3:45 pm

Piet sal jy moet `n body lift doen om die Lexus engine in tekry? En diff ratio gaan jy dit ook verander of hou jy jou bestaande gearbox en diff op die KZTE?

Gert, die ratkas bly, ek gaan 'n sfa conversion doen,en die as 35mm vorentoe skuif. dit hoort genoeg te wees vir die 33" maxxis bande. As dit nie is nie, sal ek die body met 50mm lig.
Die diff ratios moet verander. die Diesels s'n is baie anders as die van petrol.
Ek het 'n stel '86 diffs hier op 'n plaas gekry vir R7000.00.
Volgens Fana kan ek daardie diffs se ratios net so los

Rian · Post by **Rian** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:13 pm

Sorry I missed on this descussion.

2 questions ?

How was the engine "bench tested" ??

How was the injectors "cleaned" ??

Bushwacker · Post by **Bushwacker** » Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:19 pm

You will have to contact Fana on 0837521655 or fanavanzyl@gmail.com for the answers, I havn't bought the engin yet

Ou Ben

Ek worry nie veel daarooor nie want die brandstof vervaardigers gooi in elk geval ook produkte in om die goed skoon te hou.

Die spray gun se nozzle gaan dalk te groot wees

Man ja ek like die spraygun idee, jy koppel die die throttle kabel op die sparaygun se trigger en koppel 'n servo op die stelskroef wat die spraypatern size stel en voila 'n aftermarket Fuel Stratified Injection system vir jou Volkswagen

Dit moet 'n PTA Tool Centre ene wees want as jy die ene by addendorf koop is hy inferior quality, alhoewel hulle uit die selle fabriek in China kom verlaag die kwaliteit aansienlik met 'n addendorf sticker op

Piet ek het gewonder of dit nie beter gaan wees om `n 4 x 2 tekoop en dan in `n 4 x 4 te verander nie. Jy gaan in elk geval nie jou geld trug kry nie. en om `n duur 4 x 4 heeltemal te strip en ander voor en agter diff in tesit en dan nog die engine ook teruil kan jy net sowel n 4 x 2 body gebruik.

Wat gaan jy maak omtrend jou ABS? kan dit maak pas word op SFA? of gaan jy dit verloor?

Piet,

Daar op Piet Retief is daar 'n auto electrician, Hansie, hy het sy 2.7 'n lexus hart gegee, met 33 duim bande, die hele werke.

Ek verstaan sy winkel is reg langs 'n bande plek?

as jy nie regkom nie, kan ek dalk met bietjie moeite sy nommer in die hande kry.
