Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey guys So I may have the opertunity to purcjase a 1kz turbo out of a Super Custom. The complete van is getting wreaked, so i can get as little or as much stuff out of it as I need / want. So I was thinking this would be a pefect oppertunity to maybe put a better motor in the Old Brown 1985 super custom i have, which is currently 2L-T I can probabaly get this 1kz for a pretty decent price, along with all the electronic stuff etc. So mu question really is, I have heard of people running 5l injector pumps on these. To me this sounds like a good option, as wiring up the 1kz could be a total cunt, then again, i have never even looked in to it, and maybe its not. has anyone converted a 1kz to manual injection, and if so, did it lose any of its power? as these motors seem to run fucken well in stock form, and from what I here even better with a few ECU tweeks. But can this same power be achieved by converting to 5l pump? Also, does anyone know much about the Auto transmissions in these? Would I be opening a can of worms in that end? can i use my original? or are the Super custom ones all Electrnoicly controlled and linked in with the ECU? Would love to convert to manual, but fuck that is alot of mucking around, and probably alot of money Cool, thoughts? Flame away etc? Does this even make sense? triangle?

Brock-Lee Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Guy I went to tech with went manual pump and bigger turbo etc and it usedto do hilarious smokey launches from traffic lights. Was suprisingly quick haha Edit: such a pointless yarn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 get better results from using a modified non-electronic 4m40t mitsi pump AFAIK. heaps of 4wd jokers do it. there's some place up auckland ways i think that mods the mitsi pumps ready to roll. get heaps more tuneability and power from the normal pumps. 5l pump isn't nearly as good. will work but wont be as amazing. 2l-t pump would be jsut as good plus have an aneroid/why would you want to limit fuel off boost anyways. mint. will do some searchign later for you and repost. work net is about to be turned offffff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Iv looked into this also, the injector pump of 2.8 mitsi turbo engines work also and you get a boost compensator setup too. edit: yeah what he said Is the old brown custom a manual? This guy has a 1kz to w/g bellhousing FS viewtopic.php?f=15&t=35667 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escorto. Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 As Cam says. 4m40 pump is the way. Or you can get a factory 1KZ-t manual pump. They we're all manual over seas pre 1996. We only got EFI ones sadly. Manual pump will give you better tuneability, and hence power. But the best benifit is better mileage, as we all know the 1KZ-TE is horrible on diesel, manual injection really helps. Also intercool that shiz please. And they like the boost too. 20 psi is easy with manual injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 No sure there really is enough room to get an inter cooler in there, I have looked into this years ago. however, had a chat with old nathan gaes ago, about water meth injection, and he has heard it is fucken amazing. Ok, i will look into pump options. As for van, currently its an auto, hence Why i am not so keen to do the conversion, however the gains would be massive. as autos suck power like your mum sucked foot ball playes back in high school.

Evan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 dumb idea. give me the 1kz instead dont put a G series box behind it, they have the worst ratios in the world unless your towing your house. and I think they explode with the extra torque of the 1KZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 in reality I think keeping it auto would make my life alot easier, so will probabaly just do that. its just fitting the trans into my van and wiring it up that will be a cunt. tho i hope they are the same wiring as a non super custom, then I might have a chance of getting a wiring diagram! Sounds like the mitsi pump is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 DSL in chch does the 4m40 pumps and will also build you a 2l-t hybrid, whic could be a go. depends how much you want out of it. without intercooler you don't wanna push it much past 15psi for extended periods or you'll get way too high in the EGT's. could run a water to air intercooler and poke the little radiator under the floorhalfway down the back, though. endless options. guys with the surfs and shit fettle the electronic boxes to fully manualise them so there's no reason you can't just slam the late model electronic auto in and run a manualised shifter on it. chahurrrr cbf finding any links. i'm sure you kow your google skills, or can ring those jokers n chch to se what they reckon. some people say you can just chuck an L series pump on them with somefettling. you could use your oneas it'll have a boost aneroid but again, it's not crucial. make sure yu chuck an EGT gague on it for tuning purposes. then you will win.

Seedy Al Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 yeah egt gauge would be the first thing to be on there. sounds like the 4m40 pumps are the way to go with not to much effort chur. might see what sort of deal i can get on this shit then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Could run a w56 from an Estima/Lucida sorta van. They always turn up at PAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfasprinter Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 $50 for the bellhousing grab it when u pick up oldnathans gearbox from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm picking up a gear box for old nathan? I had probabaly forgotten if I was lol only consern there is getting a 1kz flywheel and shit. cant be cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 slightly off topic, does anyone know what the manual box that goes behind the 1kz in the manual supercustoms? or even what the gearbox is thats used in hiaces that have a 1kz but are 4wd? R15x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Old nathan knows They are fucken metnal strong they are an r sereis, but the ratios are slightly more Meh than your R154 or whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
