Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Pretty sure the heads are identical on the 3Y & 4Y.. Could be wrong but I'm 99% sure they are the same head!

Thanks for that Thrashlux, you've pretty much covered all I needed to know there!
By the sound of what you're saying there, I reckon I'd be better off chasing up an R box and getting a dellows bellhousing. I'd prefer to keep it manual but thought it may have been easier to run the Auto.

I havent ...

Thanks for the responses so far!
Locktup's tranfer case adaptor is pretty pricey :?
Thrashlux, what is a bellhousing from dellows worth roughly? When you say 'standalone' loom, can you please elaborate a little on how it works? The 1J will be going into my 1st gen 4Runner so there's bugger all ...

Hi guys,

7M-GE conversion is now cancelled due to acquisition of a 1JZ-GTE :armsup:

My question is - Can I mate my gear driven case (G52) onto an A340F auto box?
Or even better can I get hold of one easily enough that already has one attached?

I'd prefer to go auto with this conversion as the ...

We have 2 at work in Moomba (Cooper basin)
They have done over 60k and sound like they are just loosening up now..
Have over a tonne in the back constantly and have never missed a beat.
Gets pretty hot here too!

Lokka installed in rear..
Took me about 6 hours from wheels off to wheels on and I've never touched a diff before!
So anyone else thinking of getting one, do it yourself, it's easy
Now it's time to go wheeling!!

Cheers for that Ruff

Sorry for the newbie question, but I need to know if the front & rear diff internals are the same on my 84 live axle 4Runner :oops:

I've just bought a lokka and asked for one to suit the rear and have been sent one that's invoiced as being for the front..

I want to get to installation ASAP as I'm ...

That's the earlier one yeah?
Probably easier to get the booster and MC as a unit anyhow..

No drama's bud, sounds like you're running the original by the wording of the engineers cert.
I've heard they are a straight swap, handy much

Cheers for the info guys!

Yeah heard the V6 runner calipers are the go, wasn't 100% sure whether they were vented rotors though.. (Assumed they were but wasn't gonna start buying stuff on an assumption :roll: )

IFS vented rotors with V6 runner calipers and the 80 series master sounds like the way to go.. Should be pretty ...

What different front brake combinations have you used on your solid axle luxes and runners?

It seems that a few toyota brake components are interchangeable and I'm looking at a better brake setup for the front of my Runner!

Cheers

I'm pretty sure it's a straight forward bolt up.. the clutch slave cylinder is on the opposite side but that's minor.
I've got an 84 4runner which is the same as a Hilux and I have a 7M-GE on the floor which I'm about to start jamming in :armsup: :armsup: :armsup:
Should be a fun project, have ...

Both boxes are manual, but one has a shorter 1st gear than the other.. I'm not sure which one though!!

The surf box (R150F or R151F) will bolt up to the 7M and will be strong enough for the 7M-GTE but you'll need a bellhousing from a supra with an R series gearbox.. Not the W series.
I'm told the input shaft is shorter in the 4x4 box so either swap input shafts or get the bellhousing machined down to ...

Sorry for the gradual Hi-Jack Hiluxmad!!
Yeah, well aware of the BHG tendencies of the ol 7M..
While it's sitting on the ground it's gonna get the treatment :armsup:
Getting frustrated coz have to wait for my new house to be built before commencement of conversion due to a total lack of shedness ...

Some handy info there, thanks pozman
Safe to assume you're converting yours from a diesel to a M series??

The tosser should get out his measuring tape next time he puts his groceries in the back of his shitbox coz I'll be betting that it lowers his suspension to what he would class as dangerous!!
How can you seriously make claims that raising or lowering a vehicle 2" will impair your visibilty or the ...

I'm pretty sure they are different.. Not 100% though.
I know the G52 and W5x patterns are the same as I will be converting my 3Y to a 7M soon..
If the G and R patterns are the same then that's excellent because I'm not expecting my G52 to last too long behind the new motor!

They won't do anything for the arc of the springs if that's what you're asking..
They will drop the rear of the spring a couple of inches depending on their length but extended shackles are commonly used in conjunction with longer springs (eg RUF conversion) to allow for the best flex!

Second that except I am 100% as I just made some extended shackles

my understanding is that the only different thing about the 'y' motors is the stroke, so the 4y head should just bolt up....
but it never seams to be that easy does it....

x 2

And it's only 200cc difference anyway!!

And about the re-spray.. All my spare $ are tied up in the house i'm about to ...

Interesting, mine's pretty baked on, plus the paint has faded a bit so if it did come off there'd be a darker yellow stripe where the sticker was!!

350k's on 35's!!
I'm officially jealous!
Also starting to think that something ain't right with my 3Y

Does yours starve on hills? Mine never has, it will lose oil pressure before it fuel starves..? unless I'm not going up big enough hills :roll:

I had my carb rebuilt when I first picked up my runner and it only cost about $200 from memory.. and the gasket shouldn't cost you much.
I recommend ...

I'm pretty sure the heads are identical..
The easiest way would probably find a tarago with a 4Y-E and just swap the whole motor, otherwise you could probably just get the EFI gear from one and just bolt it up to your 3Y.. Cheap if you can find a wrecked one that a wrecker hasn't gotten to :cool ...

Hey Tonka,
What weber carb are you running on yours?
I'm thinking of finding a cheap one at a wreckers to use before I begin my conversion..
Also, do you need to run extractors?
Cheers
Alan

7M-GE is a Toyota 6
3 litre twin cam EFI
Found in 89-91 Cressidas (MX83) and Supras (MA70)
Not sure how easy to put in but if you google the conversion a fair few people have done it..
Their downfall is they are prone to head gasket failure but that can be overcome by using a better gasket and ...

Yeah that's true, they are bulletproof!

I just get tired of filling it up to the tune of $70 every 300-320km

If I'm only gonna get ~300km to a tank I'd like to get places a bit faster!

I have a 3Y gen 1 runner also..
I have trouble getting to 120km/h with only a bit of gear in it running 31's :bad-words:
Doubt the old girl would top 100 with 35's, especially with the speedo discrepancy!!
I've nearly finished the "gathering parts" stage of a 7M-GE conversion :armsup:
7M-GE = twin ...
