2.2 4Y change to Diesel engine?

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 9:24 am

Gents,

Would it be wise to change my 4Y to a Diesel, either 2.4 or 2.8. Will I need to change the gearbox and fuel tanks as well?

Conversions = $$$$$ + problems. Save your money and use it for the petrol. You might just gain an extra 10 kph for all the effort and headaches.

Van Zyl, PM Wade (iHilux) and see if he still has his notes - he originally converted his petrol SFA to 2.8 diesel, and he swears that it was the best thing that he ever did.

Van Zyl,what do you aim to obtain.Better fuel?

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 3:54 pm

Little better consumption and bit more power - like Viagra

Post by **george** » Thu Jul 31, 2008 4:09 pm

Rather save for EFI.More power less fuel.Cheaper.

Pricewise, what am I looking at?

Rich,

PLease keep Van Zyl away from that dangerous stuff.........He might just end up and brokeback mountain........with varkie & neil......

I agree its much cheaper to do EFI that petrol to diesel conversion.......

Van.. erm erm.. het jy ook op jou kop geval? :roll: :roll:

Dit gaan jou 5 jaar neem om die geld wat jy gespandeer het aan die conversion terug te kry aan fuel savings. Om nie van die frustrasies en groeipyne te praat nie. EFI die ding as jy meer krag soek (wat jy ANYWAY nie by 'n diesel gaan kry nie, behalwe as jy praat van Nm's en nie kW's nie). Die uitgawe is baie minder en daar is nie so baie wat verkeerd kan gaan soos met 'n enjin-ombouing nie. Ook, die herverkoopwaarde van jou Hilux halveer sodra jy begin enjins oorbou en stuff.

Verder, ek weet nie of ons dan vir jou EN Niel saam kan laat ry nie, ons sal verdwaal in die rook en verstik in die roet.

Doctor V · Post by **Doctor V** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 8:33 am

Ons mag nie naby mekaar ry nie - want dit gaan hom geld kos

Niel · Post by **Niel** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 10:01 am

Van Zyl, jy sal moet betaal as ek jou tou maar selfs dan is ons vinniger as ou bonnet, Bonnet sit jou wipers aan en als is gesort pappa

Ek hou nie van agter ry nie - klink nie lekker nie

2.2 4Y or 2.8 Diesel... it's like:

2.2ltrs of beer... or 2.8 ltrs of water...

Which do you prefer? ... hmmmm....

Dan moet jy maar van die loopring idee afsien anders gaan jy nie voor ry nie maar eerder agter......

Niel? Wat is dit met jou en 'n getouery? Jy wil net altyd almal tou?

Om iemand te KAN tou, moet jy in die eerste plek daar wees waar die persoon is wat nodig het om getou te raak, en jy is nooit.

Die keer toe Rich nodig gehad het dat jy hom tou toe maak jy gatskoon huis toe en bel hom later om te hoor of hy reggekom het?

Vat die tou, en bind hom om jou toon vas en tou jouself...

Thys, dit lyk asof Niel se getouery storie kom vanaf hy op die berg was met die "berg" episode...

Probleem is Johan, Niel was nie eers op daai berg gewees nie, maar sy bek is die grootste... :roll: :roll: :roll:

Ek sal saam suiker teen Tierkloof uit. Stadig kom ook bo uit. Sal maar in 4L ry met my 2.2. Sal die touery vir ander los

spoke to my buddy over the weekend.
his brother changed his 2.2 to 2.4d , and is having enless problems
Something on crack / pulley keeps breaking.
He is also fisherman, so I think all that high revving on beach sand is not good for diesel

Van Zyl,

Ek het vir jou nie nou vir jou hulp nie, maar wag tot Rich se Hilux EFI is, dan sal jy hopelik gou jou deuntjie verander van FJ na EFI.

Ek sÃª nou vir jou, jy sal nie terug kyk op die geld vir die ombouing nie. Jy moet die verskil belewe om dit te kan verstaan.

Jy hoef nie bang te wees vir die ombouing nie, Bennie kyk mooi na die Hilux en toets hulle by Mahem as hulle klaar is.... :roll:

Ek sal kyk hoe Rich s'n loop

Doc V, I'm thinking about the same conversion :?

If you do go ahead is it to get better speed up the hills ? or is it only for the consumption ?

I'l watch this space and possibly follow your lead...

If anyone wants to see photos of my new one just check out the

Hey Van Zyl,

I was at Hoppy's workshop on the weekend, there's a pretty little Lexus V8 looking really lonely, maybe it is needing a good home??
