  1. Thanks, a bell housing you can buy, great. The engine bay of the Hiace is quite different but the 4age can probably fit. It is running 225/75r16 wheels, so not the biggest offroad tyres. This is only about torque, the power output is higher (and higher in the revs, I know). You could boost it, but I think I may want to add an electric motor, lets say 20hp, providing the extra torque from 0rpm. It will add 150nm, so that is significant. Do power steering and vaccum electric so it doesn't bother the 4age anymore. That allows me to ditch starter and alternator, and allows to ditch the gas tank and other stuff, because I am going to do the camper/rv stuff electric only. Swap in a 48v lithium pack for the same weight as a 12v lead battery. That way, it serves two purposes, so I can cook on regen power and will male the van lighter. And further weight reduction on the car, not bringing the swing out tyre carrier anymore. I already built an offgrid lithium system. And I love the instant torque from my EV
  2. Awesome project! I have a question regarding mating it to the Hilux gearbox. I have an MR2 MK1 (125hp 4A-GE) which needs bodywork, and I have a 4x4 Hiace (LH118) campervan with the 2L. This project gave me some ideas for when I don't want to continue with the MR2 and want to convert my Hiace to petrol My Hiace game with similar drivetrain, I think the same gearbox. Position of engine is different, sump is different, and it has torsion IFS, but other than that, it is with low-gear etc. It even got a rear LSD! The gearbox is a G52. My MR2 is pretty much a fwd setup. I am wondering how you mated the 4A-GE to the G* transmission? Custom bellhousing made but the shaft fits in number of splines? Of course the motor mounts and plumbing are all custom, I get that. Thanks in advance. And yes, my Hiace is much heavier than the Hilux, although I know it will be lighter with the 4A-GE than the 2L diesel. I am wondering if torque at higher RPM will be an issue. It has got the 5.125 gearing from factory, so that's good.
