Does any one know how to do this? I have recently converted an 80 from 1fz to ls2 and the tacho doesn't show rpm. I understand it can be done with a potentiometer but i am at a loss as to where i should start.

Thanks, d

I would be using the a442 landcruiser autO from my fzj I don't want 1000hp as it is my Dailey driver and it tows my winch truck around so I do want some grunt I can expect it to be a bit thirsty towing but I'm flat out getting 400ks per tank to mostly hiway driving on 33s I have put an exhaust and ...

An old guy in Sydney has a 100 series running the ls2 with the Toyota auto. He took it to Bullit (they do v8 swaps for Mazdas i think) and the only way they could get it to work was to run the Toyota ecm and bcm (ie: fit all the sensors from the Toyota v8 to the gm v8. It worked well but was being ...

Any sort of conversion is going to cost money. If you want it to be reliable then it will have to be done properly - no short cuts, which costs more money. Generally, anyone putting an LS engine into their car aren't looking for economy, they want power! If you produce more power then you will ...

Thanks Dan! I know it has been a long time coming but it is nearly there. I am just having some issues with sensors and the controller... I wish it had a dizzy and a carby because i would thrashing the shit out of it right now. I'll be up your way to get the engineering done so i might swing past ...

Twenty months it has been since i first pulled the 80 apart. Nearly 5 years since i first decided to under take this project but we are nearly there! There was more work to this project than i had anticipated but it is now finally paying off. I honestly cbf writing everything down so i will let the ...

Very nice write up so far, keep it up!

Pull it off. I removed the sway bar and panhard rod off the front of my Rocky, and didnt notice a lot of difference on road, but it made a big difference off road. Lets face it, they are not the best sports car on the road. If you lift lifted suspension, and keep the standard panhard, it will pull ...

Gonna let us in on the secret? Is there a switch or some kind of sequence you need to run through to get it to turn off

I have found, time after time, that the best headlight upgrades are:

- better cable + relays
- higher wattage/better quality globes

In that order, too - cable first. Pretty much all factory looms use cable that's too light.

I have put in new cable, relays, and 130/90W H4 lamps in a couple of ...

Did you replace the whole light/reflector or just the globes with the hid setup? The HID conversion I did on my 80 which was the whole light and globe setup hobzee used to sell and it is awesome. I pulled my spotlights off because the hid's just outshone them and had made them useless.

Admittedly ...

Hi all,
I was recently contacted by another Outers member to find out some information on upgrading the lights in his 4wd. I then realised that this information should be shared with everyone on here so, to save me retyping all of it i will just post the letters i wrote:

** Initial letter

Hi ...

VooDoo how does the Boss 260 make less power than the LS1, both can be tuned in stock form to nearly 300kw and possibly 550 Nm of torque.


Its always made less power than the LS1, takes up twice as much room and weighed twice as much. They don't rev as well, upgrading cams is 4 times as expensive ...

The biggest trouble we have been having is moving the engine/trans around and being able measure accurately. Yes we have a forklift and an engine crane but both are not really great – leaky hydraulics you see. So to beat this i made make shift mounts which bolt to the engine and sit on top of the ...

Got some updates that are worth talking about now. :oops:

After bolting the engine/trans assembly together we found that, after sitting the engine in the car, it wouldn’t fit without doing one of the following:

->Recess the engine into the firewall. Not a good solution. :snipersmile:
-> Keep the ...

Hey VooDoo, I think this will be a sweet build. It’s something i have been contemplating for a while now and i will keep myself subscribed to this thread! :armsup: :popcorn:

Despite other peoples comments i feel that what a man wants and what a man needs are two separate entities and I believe ...

Dual calipers with solid disk??

I bought my ls2 off a guy that put one in front of the Toyota auto (it was a hundred series though). He got the boys at bullet to do the conversion because they are experienced with the Toyota gear.

Long story short, they had trouble getting the American engine to talk Japanese to the gearbox and ...

cup holders, clocks, ... it's a bloody landcruiser for christ's sake.

Ok, so many thanks to 80's_Delerious i have managed to attain all items necessary for the vacuum boosted clutch for the 80 series.

Instead of itemising all the parts I will let the picture do the talking:

Sell it and buy an 80 series

Well I guess there is a first for everything?

I've got an hj61 donor car and i think fitting the power assist would be a massive hassel.

Let's see how i go ...

Btw auto's are for girls

Ok, so after seeing people from here talking about this in the past i want to find out who's done a power assisted clutch conversion on their standard 80 clutch?

I have priced the booster assembly and it is going to cost around the $900 mark :shock: So thought i would ask the outers oracle?

Are ...

1 and 2 are different. Lower ratios for the 3f.

I went to part time because i didn't want to wear out my longfields. Used part time transfer case though, aisin hubs and (i think) hzj rear drive shaft.

Made no difference to fuel consumption and amplified the caster problem in the front created by the lift.

Worth it (as said previously) if you ...

Sorry, don't have time text this morning, I'll let the pictures do the talking!
