No you need a Cressida bellhousing and flywheel then it becomes a bolt on

and the engin mounts :think: do you have to modify the chassis or just make custom motor mounts and what do they look like? :eh:

I just had to persude the mouting brackets on the engine side with a 10 pound hammer ever so slightly but apart from that standard Hilux mountings fit perfectly :wink:

No the ratios is perfect for 245*75 or 31s. I actually thought that I may need to change ratios once I go to 33s cause the gearing may then become too high (engine speed too low) when driving in 5th at 120-130 to be economical and also it may lack some in places where you need to crawl in 4L 1st :? but that I will have to see once my van is running again.

goeie dag, ek weet nie hoe die forum werk nie en of ek dit op die regte manier doen nie, n paar pointers sal nogal heel oulik wees.

Ek sien jy het ook n 7mge in jou bakkie, ek is ook in die proses om een in te sit. ek is opsoek na `n cressida bellhousing en n flywheel om op my 4y op te boud.

as enige iemand dalk kan help asb

Hi Christo,

I see you are in Brackenfell as well! Have you spoken to Allan Venter(Hoppy, AEW) yet? He knows where to get these things in Cape Town...

Baie dankie Bretton. Ek ken vir Allan, hy gan vir my die flywheel organise.

Jis Bennie, Thanx ek het toe die bellhousing by "Boston Jap Tech" gekry R 950,00.

Ek is redelik meganies aangele en die motor insit sal nie n probleem wees nie,maar ek is nog bietjie in die donker oor die bedrading.

Ek het die complete loom gekry. Sal ek n manual moet kry om te sien wat is wat of is dit redelik eenvoudig. Thanx vir julle hulp

Ja ek het original cpu met loom en al die sensors en dinge, maar ek het nou gehoor jy gebruik net die drade van die cpu af na die enjin en die paar vir krag en revcounter en so aan. Ek weet nie klink dit reg

Man ja ek weet nie regtig van die origional ECU se bedrading veel af nie want ek het nog nooit regtig belanggestel oor wat alles nodig is in die loom nie, maar common sence se jy het is omtrent reg. Maar jy gaan meer goed moet koppel as met aftermarket stelsels. Dinge soos die speed sensor mag dalk 'n issue wees, gelukkig het die 7M nog nie coded keys gebruik nie.

Dan is daar nog die issue van idle control. Met die origional beheerstelsel moet jy sorg dat al jou vacuums en water pype in plek is want die idle control meganismes is nog meganies en prone to probleme as als nie 100% is nie. Vir daai rede dat ek 'n simplified stelsel met 'n enkel uitsluitlik elektoniese idle control meganisme verkies. Ek glo aan Keep It Short & Simple.

Ek het EMS 'n Mr Turbo ingehad maar die kon nie behoorlik Idle control doen nie en ek gaan nou 'n Dicktator op my wa installeer.
