But m-series Sad times when a rover V8 is sounding the best option Buick V6, anybody do a kit ? 1JZ no fit 1KZ maybe. Rover V8 because we've got 3.9's and 4 barrels lying around and though may not sound the best option, they're the best sounding option. 1 hour ago, 00quattro00 said: Vw 1.9tdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 There's 1jz hiluxs of your era around. I think they are a long fit but do go in There probably was Buick V6 kits in the 90s. The one in my mitsi is pretty crude so you could get some thing water cut easy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Is there any advantage for having diesel vs petrol where you are? Over here diesel is a lot cheaper but we have to pay per km travelled so it works out about the same. I did a job on a hilux that had a turbo 1kz put in it instead of a 3L, it went pretty good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 Funnily enough, there probably isn't really. Petrol's cheaper(£ 1.29/L vs £ 1.34) here as diesel is being demonised. I just fancy sticking with old diesel technology for some reason. Simplicity of installation and maintenance maybe ? Resistance to EMP's and greater variety of fueling options in the subsequent apocalypse ? I'm not after shredding tyres, need more low down grunt but also a reasonable level of consumption. I've never actually worked it out but I'd guess it's doing mid to high 30's MPG at the moment. V8 burble would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarolsHusband Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 May have to head off to the Hilux forum in the morning and see who''s got what for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 I would turbo the motor you have, or find a 3L or 5 L to turbo. This is right up @Yowzer alley and he will have some insight into turbo L series diesels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5le in my ln145 goes good for a non turbo, does about 6-7 liters per 100km round town (40mpg?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyfive Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 For comparison I used to get around 10l/100km in my NA 3L LN106. Similar-ish to the shusband vehicle currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently purchased a '92 Toyoace 4x4 (same as a Dyna) which has a 14B engine. It was cheap. That's a non turbo, basically no electronics, 4 cylinder 3.8 litre Toyota engine. It may be worth looking at one of those as they seem simple and evidently have as much torque as my V8 petrol Lexus, but I dunno how easy they are to slot into a 'Lux chassis 14B 98 hp (72 kW) at 3,400 rpm 177 lb·fts (240N·m) at 1,800 rpm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNAMUCK Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'd say 1kz. (I've got no idea how big they are, but they have plenty of get up and go) Plus with your salty roads there must be hundreds of donor vehicles rusted to oblivion and worth next to nought? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Yeah, mine's the only one left. Probably. They say a bloke in the next town has one but I'm not so sure.... Funnily most of the Hilux people have said 1KZ too. I have, however, found an eaton supercharger at my mates place. I also found this.... That'll do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 What size Eaton? A supercharger on a diseasel makes the world of sense. Because there's no throttle body it should just run full boost 24/7. Then you wind up your fuel to you find your sweet spot with the egt's and profit. No off boost means no black smoke before a turbo spools. Supercharger the world! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolsHusband Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 It's off a Jag, a 4 litre I would guess. I'll check the numbers when I pick it up . I'm sure those clever sods on the internet will have plotted graphs for cfm/CR/CC and how much to over/under drive for the right results. Superchargers are mint in my head, I've never owned one but all those Cummins' can't be wrong. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 That'll be at least an m90. I wouldn't even run 1:1 drive on a 2 4. Even less if it's a 112. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
