dmulally Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 This is fantastic feedback thanks @square. The last Hilux I had was the 2.4d and it was painful so I didnt even think about a later hilux engine. How did you go with wiring the 1kz with a mechanic pump and were any sump mods required? How did you find the a340? Did it need it's own controller to run like the 4l80e? The cummins stuff is so overpriced and oversized it didn't seem worth it. A 6BD1 could fit with some minor mods but will weigh similar to yours but with far less power. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 1KZ was easy as to install, I had a rear sump one , cant remember source but the granvias have them. Once you put the manual fuel pump on it just needs a wire for the fuel cut solenoid and I ran the GM temp and pressure pickups so its easy as. WIth the trans I manually shifted it off the column, you can make up a box using diodes to out power straight onto the solenoids via the gearbox position sense switch, it cost $1.50. I did one the same in a 2wd 90 hilux and it lasted years. Otherwise the A340s were in all sorts of vehicles from supras to cherokees, from memory theres a cressida TCM thats standalone. They are a really tough box, I shifted that old c10 into reverse at 120 kph once and it locked the wheels, turned them backwards for a bit and didnt kill me or the trans. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I hope you wore the brown undies that day!! I did a bit of research and it looks like the mechanical pump is from a 2.4 with some mods required to increase fueling. Still looking up 2wd manual gearbox options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 There are a few options for mech pumps. I think a mitsi 4M40 pump can be made to fit, Yanmar also offered a marinized variant of the 1KZ with a mechanical pump which would be a straight bolt on option and already tuned for far more grunt than the standard unit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Yeah I've heard the 4m40 ones work, the ones I've used ( 4 of I think ) were 1kz pumps with bigger pistons, I think 11mm, and a boost compensator from a 2LT. There's a few places that do them , KRAE, MDS, trundles etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmulally Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Some homework. The 6cyls will need some mods to fit. The 6bd1 is the length from the current radiator to the fw as it is. Would be great for towing but I dont tow as much these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
square Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Would the 2.8 4cyl cummins be an option ? like the fotons etc have, there was some spud that put one in a hotrod sort of a thing here and they are popular with the offroaders in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have a look. Edit: they have quite a large front sump hump which would foul the crossmember sadly. Im open to anything excluding the 6.2/6.5 detroits.

Sunbeam Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I can confirm BMW M57 is the shiz. Bone stock is 220hp and 500nm. Almost zero issues with mine in an old X5 with 375,000km. A starter motor and one injector in it’s whole life. I would shudder at swapping it into something else though as they are very electrical, which is not my jam at all. Land Rover peeps are routinely doing it in the UK though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely rusted to shit but has a galvanized chassis that looks brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a finished project at some point. Ill be able to take loads of parts off it for mine. Just where it was on the coastline in Welly it was always going to get smashed by salt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also curious as to why you wouldn't consider common rail diesels, they are better in every way? just fyi om648 fits mint in a chev truck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely see them for sale near me. I want as simple a setup as possible. Less to go wrong and easier to fix because I'm a basic bitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted Monday at 07:47 Share Posted Monday at 07:47 Hello diesel aficionados, 4 cylinder non turbo Perkins 4-236 with perhaps 6,000hrs in a JCB backhoe loader. Unknown engine work was done by the previous owner who received the machine inoperable, got it going and sold it to me. Main symptoms: Lack of power and excessive noise. Engine power between half throttle and full throttle seems to be the same. Yes it is gettingfull throttle. All I get is an increase in noise over half throttle but little increase in road speed. Full throttle on a flat road = 25kmph. Any incline and speed reduces significantly. A new muffler has not reduced engine noise. It's extremely uncomfortable to drive anywhere without hearing protection. Blowby is pretty obvious, but the awful exhaust noise has me wondering about valve/rocker clearances. No glowplugs on these engines so a compression test is more difficult. Any advice? It took 45 mins to drive 12kms today so I am keen to find more power asap! EDIT: The exhaust noise under throttle is a loud waffle a bit like you'd hear from a large truck under exhaust brakes. Something just sounds wrong or out of phase.

johnnyfive Posted Monday at 19:10 Share Posted Monday at 19:10 What sort of rpm are we talking? We've got a bunch of perkins 236 I can compare to if it helps. None of the fergies that they're in have boxes that allow much more than 20km/h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
