MADSHORT wrote:you will find hubs to suit theres more than one size

the problem is what brand
aisins are by far the best

trick would be to use a 79 series front end with 80 series swivel hubs
mount up the 79 series steering box and make a custom steer shaft

Hmm, no good. So I couldnt use 80 series coil seats and upper/lower control arm mounts on the axle, and the 4runner stuff on the HiLux chassis? I just dont see how having a different axle would make things so difficult. Sorry not trying to fight it, I just cant see how this would be a problem as I ...

The car already has an 80 series diff under it using leaf springs as mentioned and has been under there for years (and engineered for it). I want to use the panhard rod brackets, as well as the chassis mounts off the 4 runner on the Lux chassis, ands use coil seats etc off an 80 series to sort the ...

i dont think engineering will be a walk in park you will be making all the mounting points on the chassis many of them from scratch and doing a lot of welding the 80 series chassis is much flatter and a totally different shape you can use the surf panard rod mount the rails are the same spacing the ...

water to air intercoolers can work really well but................ the ones they are selling, ie the denco one is a bit of a dinky toy i beleve you cannot beat a good sized front mount with sensible length plumbing and a fan on it this way you dont get heat soak(read top mount) and you have large ...

G,day I was thinking of using the lexus quad cam V8, I thought the 100 series V8 would be to much trouble .Thrashlux you have given me something els to think about,I gess I will have to price the 2uz and gear box .Is the 2uz alot better than the 1uz or just a bit better.Thrashlux would you have a ...

has it got a turbo??

1hz's love to crack heads once turboed

does teh pressure build before the truck warms up?
if so its combustion gasses, not steam and yoiu have a cracked head or blown gasket

jonathan

they did it when they went to 134a
it was ok position wise when bumper was fitted
maybe they decided it was getting too hot to be in with the battery who knows

jonathan

its a lot of work all custom mounts etc

the ln65 dash has lots of plastic components and is a lot more complex
also more fragile
personally i would just look for a good dash
plenty around really 2wd ones are ok

Which V8 are you referring to?

1uz
2uz
1vd

i am in brisbane
I can do as little or as much as you want including wiring or mounts etc etc

they will both bolt up the same

there was a plug change around 92 (your year) so you will have to have a look

early had big round plug
92 on had oval type smaller
you can get adapters or make one

front is the same as 80 ,79and late 75 rear is the same as hilux

the 100 series runs much higher boost stock and has a different computer , injector pump and turbo the boost cut in the 7x series motor is around the normal boost level of the 100 series one its not just a matter of upping the boost and fitting an intercooler as the computer will shut it all down ...

It will sound cool that is about all it will do it will not go any faster than a 1FZ and use more fuel cost you more and heaps more head aches either put and ls1 in or forget it all the conversion effort and costs are the same the difference is the 304 will only make it sound better than if you put ...

Thanks to all for the info great help and yeah the car is a 105 with no abs didn't no there was much difference between the two any way I will take the front shaft out and see how it goes before spending any money. sounds good once you have made your decision can you let us know your results as so ...

does your truck have ABS if it does
forget it as it wont work any more
too many legal hassels plus no saftey

is yours a 100 or 105 lots of people call their 105's a 100
if it is a 100 forget it

i have bought an fj80 3fe a440f non overdrive with snapped crank ive been steered away from fitting 304v8 to a440f auto my question is if i find a good 2f engine should i add my head and injection or find a 3f all help appreciated can afford engine swap but not engine/box swap :bad-words: what is ...

only if the gas installer did so
some times they just cut power to the fuel injectors you can add an extra relay to cut the fuel pump

Tom HJ60 wrote:What is a pto??

this is a pic of my PTO i use pto to drive a hydro pump for my winch in my hilux
not all gearboxes and transfers have this option
i had to get the gears from a 75 series transfer

ok your transfer will bolt up fine to a manual box you will have to change your rear shaft but the front shaft will be ok but i think the gear box X member is in the wrong place you will have to check also the 1hz and 1hd-t boxes are different in the gear ratio how come you wont have to change the ...

so looking at the picture comparison above, if the factory 4.8 ring gear is thinner does that mean that it is weaker or it still has the same strength as the other ratio gears? fairly sure the factory 4.8 gears are weaker than the aftermarket ones have blown quite a few of these when i was running ...

Hi being an "fj" this means it has the 3F engine is yours fuel injected or carb??? if carb you will have no trouble with using the toyo auto as it is a hydro box the toyo box is stronger than the chev box you could also source a hydro box from an early factory TD as they are also a hydro box (if ...

But seriously I know the TD's are awesome when they are going, and i know it's not all models, but my preference isn't to spend that kind of money on a truck i will beat up. I'd prefer to look at a 1vd conversion on a petrol model, but again, it's alot of coin for a truck i will beat up. :D i dont ...

91Mav wrote:All good mate. I agree that it would be slightly harder to steer and that it's possible to feel the gears unlock through the steering wheel... Just not in a lifted GQ with plenty of bump steer

yep that would be the case

no war starting intended and i can see your point as well your are correct in saying it will be easier 4x2 than if it were in 4x4 and loaded but you do have to agree that it will be harder than if the hubs are out yeah? the orginal (hijack)question was will it be harder to steer in 2wd with the hubs ...

answer to hijack question :cool: is yes it will make it harder to steer if driving in 2wd as the diff will have to unlock (this take torque build up) before the wheels can move at different speeds Do you think it takes much "torque build up" to compress those little springs? :finger: yep how do you ...

lots of people say 1hz turbo is fine but that is because theirs is still running and they have not looked at the damage inside yet and when it does finally stop its all too late It's all in the setup and how it's treated. Biggest mistakes people make are overfueling, stonking it off idle/boost ...

cheers

they have less power and go (even when turboed )than the 1hdfte
they cost more to get in there Due to adapters etc
,are heaver ,gearing is wrong and use more fuel
a lot of coin for going slower and sounding cool :(

Oh i forgot to mention i have a very clean original 1hz for sale it has never been turboed well looked after
it was fine but removed for 1hdfte conversion for a customer as wanted more power
its in brisbane

cheers
