If you look at it from the front there is a mount on the right hand side underneath it to the engine so it can move with it. Bit hard to see in the pics.

Well here is my setup, cant remember what the intercooler is off of. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/6296/0000004smalldh5.jpg http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/4212/0000001smallvk0.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/2959/0000002smallxz2.jpg http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4418 ...

Have done this conversion myself, you will need a new clutch coz the 2.8 is bigger, need the 2.8 alt, the manifolds are different unless you have a 2L with a steel rocker cover. Sumps are interchangeable if you don't get the right one on the 2.8. The clutch fan is different but can made made to fit ...

Wiring is all the same, I took mine to the auto elecy to have the alternator wired as the 3L has a built in regulator, cost $50 for that. The radiator is more than ample, engine mounts are the same, fuel lines are the same to. Yes a 3L does have a manual primer, use your existing one from the 2L ...

Have done this conversion in my hilux. Simple swap, everything bolts in no trouble, you will however need a 3L clutch as the 2L is somewhat smaller, the 3L alternator and clutch fan is different to 2L as well. As for the turbo, what 2L have you got it on now? If it is the earlier one with a alloy ...

I replaced the timing chain on my 95 NJ Paj 4M40 yesterday. The problem I have is I thought i had it on TDC before removing chain but the Harmonic balancer had spun and is stuffed, therefore it wasn't on TDC. I didn't realise until I had the chain off. Then to add to my dilema the book says there is ...

Put a multimeter or a test light on the positive side of the coil while the key is off. If there is power there then you need to change the wire so the power comes on and off with the ignition side of the key.

The engine is a 2.8 litre diesel, came out of a 95 model hilux, need the alternator which i have since found out to have an internal regulator, the 2.4litre starter fits, need a 2.8 clutch as they are a bit bigger and I also found out that the sender unit for the tacho in the diesel pump is ...

Have just installed a 3L into my LN65 Hilux instead of the tired 2L. The tacho does not appear to be reading correctly now. Is there a way to adjust it? Also the charge light stays on now as well. I have the 3L alt fitted. Are the regulators different between the 2L and 3L?

Cheers,
Matt

Well got the problem fixed, turns out the engine had an IFS sump on it, they came out with 3 different sumps, got another from the wreckers the same as the 2L sump, put the dump pipe in the side of it and problem fixed.

yep me too!!

Never thought of a braket coz I didn't have one on the 2L but yeah makes sense. Think I'll have to knock one up tommorrow. It will fit under the bonnet coz I do have a 2" cab lift. Got the motor in this arvo to find that coz my front leafs are sad the sump is gunna bash on the diff. More bloody ...

Ok Here are the pics I promised ( I hope it works!! ). http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/3687/0000001ht5.jpg http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6627/0000002lf1.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/9504/0000003rl3.jpg http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/180/0000004mz1.jpg http://img148.imageshack.us ...

Well got my hands on a 2LT Mark 2 manifold yesterday and it bolted straight on!! Yippee. Thanks guys. As for the oil feed, the inlet to the turbo will come from the oil sender inlet and am putting a dump pipe into the sump tommorrow. Once its all done I will post a pic for ya's. Thanks again for the ...

Hi, I have just obtained a 3L to replace the very sad 2L. I wanna put my ct20 on it but what manifold do I use? The one I have wont fit and I can't find one at any wreckers????
Please help???

Hi, have got the oportunity to get a 3L engine for my LN65 to replace the tired 2L. My question is will my 5 speed gearbox bolt upto a 3L motor?

Definatley your clutch is buggered. I had the same problem with the rear main seal leaking in my 2.4. Get yourself a new clutch kit, rear main seal and a spigot bearing. A lot of people don't replace the spigot bearing but for $8 or so it saves you having to pull the box out again when it starts ...

Hi had the same problem in my 84 lux. I went and got a 85amp commodore alt and made up a coupla brackets and mounted it where the air con is spose to sit. Put another charge light somewhere in the dash to hook it to and you beauty never have to worry about either battery going flat.

Muddylux, I have a ct20 on my hilux and it wouldn't whistle much so I took the muffler off and replaced it with a hotdog and then dumped it out just behind the cab. Its only 2" pipe but everyone looks as I come up the street now. Got heaps of whistle and the exhaust is still not very loud.

Mate, there is a screw on the back of the injector pump that has a wire seal around it to stop it from turning, you need to turn that srew 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Can't remember which way to turn it but after you turn it while the car is sitting at idle rev it up and if you see a fair amount of black smoke ...
