1UZFE IN A IFS HILUX

Post by torquer »

Does anybody have any feedback on a lexus motor in an IFS hilux,I would really like to hear your comments,I love the SFA have had 4 and still own one but the IFS is much more comortable and in my opinion a better all rounder than the SFA and the Vigo.Comments on the IFS V8 please!

Hiya Gary, welcome to the forum. Joe V8 has an IFS with a Lexus V8. He is not a member of the forum but he attended our last outing, and that is a killer Hilux. He is reasonably happy with the conversion, but is still ironing out some nigglys. Hopefully he will join us on our next outing and i will be able to give you more feedback. :twisted: :twisted:

On second thoughts, I only noticed now you are in CT. If you also attend our next outing you can ask him yourself... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Your project looks great, I wonder if the sump issues apply to the IFS
('99-'05) Hilux?
