KZTE VS. Lexus

Post by Gertc »

Ok I have checked my KZTE torque curve against the Lexus curve. and up to about 2500 rpm they seem to be the same with 3 or 4 KW/NM difference. That tells me that the gearbox and diff will work fine but will give me longer gear use sins the KZ don`t really want to be revved above 3000 rpm.

Question ?
1. Is my assumption correct?

2. Can`t we get a sticky subject that can give everyone a good idea what they will need to convert there vehicle to a lexus. 2.2, 2.4, 2.7, KZTE, 300D.

Type of radiator needed
Fans on radiator
body lift required
Gearbox manual and automatic Types (No argument which is best just what model to use)
Diff ratio`s
EFI (No argument which is best just what model/type to use)
Suggested retailers. bell housings
flywheel/ clutch sizes
size on exhaust ( single / bubble pipes)
Engine mountings.
Fuel consumption idea?

Gertc, ek sal jou antwoord op wat ek al gedoen het- 2.2 ,2.4 SFA

Bellhousing flywheel - Fana
Radiator- Prado kzte
clutch kit- Land Cruiser 11 inch
3 speed BMW fan
ECU- I used std
manual gearbox
Autobox- you need a Prado transfer with speed sensor for std ecu
Single 63mm exhaust 2 boxes
Std enjin mounts gebruik n universal rubber , maak nuwe chassis brackets
Diff ratio's met 33 MT's 4.875 met manual ratkas, autobox ten miste 5.29.
petrol verbruik op handrat sal ek eers kan se oor n week as ek hom toets. Dis wat ek gebruik het op my bakkie destyds, behalwe ek het auto gebruik met n' adaptor van Chris Mod. Die bakkie wat nou by my is het geen bodylift nie. Groete.

O.K. So as ek nou reg verstaan kan ek als op die KZTE gebruik behalwe die engine en bell housing.

Radiator = OK
Gearbox = OK
Diff = OK

Na jy die conversion gedoen het, sal dit 'n smaklike idee wees om die bestuurder ook te vervang. Sit 'n "family_dog" in! :thumbup:

Man ek weet somige mense gebruik die KZ radiator maar hou hom mooi dop, hy mag dalk nie veel toleransie bied as ietsie skeef loop nie. Ek verkies iets met bietjie meer "room for error". AL gesien op die dyno so lexus met 'n kleiner as BMW 740 Radiator loop effe warm, die staan en afkoel tye tussen die verskillende runs is langer as iets wat meer vloeistof kapasiteit in die verkoeling stelsel het. Ook as 'n waterpup begin lek en daar is niks meer water in die systeem oor teen die tyd dat jy onraad vermoed nie is jou HG dalk moeg of erger.

Daai 740i radiator wat Blom in Bosbeer gesit het met die exta alu-tanks aan die kant vas wat helfde van die vaaldam nodig het om vol te maak is reg vir enige situasie wat kan opduik. :thumbup: :thumbup:
