cos it felt funny one day when my brother was driving it and we dropped the clutch and only front wheels where spinning when in low/high range,

cheers for the response all . i have been researching all day and pritty much comes to conclusion i might aswell leave it fulltime 4wd. i suppose it will be a whole new driving experience then driving my hilux 4runner. but at the moment it is only running on the front diff and won't go into 4wd. hav...

stick with the 4y head as they have bigger valves and better flow. if from memory you can do it but the head gaskets are different,.

i wouldn't do it cos you are going backwards with valve sizing and flow.

i am just about to but a 80 series 91 gxl fulltime 4wd. what i would like help on is it easy as to convert to part time.? is it simple as just buying a set of freewheeling hubs and bolting them on. sorry if this question has been asked already. cheers for any reply or help in the right direction. :s...

Has anyone ever attempted to rebuild there G52 gearbox?? as in seals , sinchrone change.
it sit's behind a 3y for runner

if so was it realitvely easy or is it a professional job.

any help much appreciated.
cheers trav

Yeah they don't bolt straight up the engine mount's have to modified and the bellhousing changed, and possibly tailshaft shortened, i was just interested if it has been done as i saw it in a 2wd. and thought that's different, but so easy to work on if it tend's to brake down in the country i the mid...

Yeah I had a gander at the mark's website, but not much info,

so noone has done this conversion on here??

G'day all. i was thinking about taking the 3y 2.0 petrol engine out of the old girl. just so it has a bit more power up steep hills, now i am in the research if a 202/186 holden engine conversion , don't wanna go v6 due to electrics, i found a 2wd hilux RN something that had a 202 converted in it. d...

saves starting a new thread. can anyone advise on what the best size custom snorkel would be for a 2.0 litre 3y petrol engine with a 32/36 weber on it, i was only thinking about 2'' exhaust with a couple of donaldson elbow bends. i wouldn't think that i would need much bigger.. but could be wrong i ...

cheers bud. will check it out.

an anyone help me i have a toyota hilux surf turbo diesel 89 LN130, motor just been built but can't work out all of the vaccum lines. i have 3 spare line not sure where they go. when i connect one of them up i loose power and no smoke turbo does not spool up either. when i disconnect it i have power...

also sounds like the jets in the carby are blocking up. get the carby rebuilt or put a 32/36 weber on it, more power and better economy. i had the similar issue with my lux it felt like a fuel blockage (jets) but once the rev's where up it went fine. you can do the old trick in the book and check if...

the conversion came with the left hand side from marks adaptors, we have already cut the original mount away from the left hand side, we decided to purchase a right hand side to see how it goes, the gearbox is a g52 and the bellhousing is from mark's adaptors, cheers for the reply fella's

the 4 runner is LFS front, but it may have been diesel, our dual cab is petrol, yeah i looked at marks adaptors, so i guess we will have to get the right hand bracket from marks,
cheers for the reply buddy

my mate and i are putty a v6 in his 85 hilux dual cab, we bought the kit second hand which it came out of a hilux 4runner, now the right hand engine mount is out by 60 mm, we have the left one which is a marks adaptors one, not welded on yet. will we need to customise the right one? or should it bol...

i have a worked clevo sitting in my ford and was just wonder has anyone put a 302 cleveland in a toyota hilux 86 model??
or even a 250 crossflow with carby? if so was it a pain in the ass with mods or pritty much drop in and a way we go. any help would be much appreciated cheers Trav

it is a sc14 of a 1ggze soarer, this supercharger is good for all small 4 cylinder engines 2litre up to 2.6 litre +, bought it from a jap import place in (SA). with custom made pulleys and bracket, the reason why i went for this setup is that it is switch activated, so i can have it on when i need t...

have you got a supercharger? i just bought a setup to suit 3y hilux but i can't use it due to the power steering set up in the way, (sucks)

hey (bundy4x4) any luck with the pictures. as i have run into a problem.?

the only way you can tell is to pull diff centre out.

DR Frankenstine that was a excellent reply. it was a good read also. i agree with KUSTOMV840 that is why i went super charger also i can have it switched activated. so when i need it i can engage it with a flick of a switch. just like MAD MAX. what is the best electric fuel pump to use :armsup: when...

when you get off ya p plates put a weber carby on it cos at 3000rpm you can nail it and the secondies kick in and just raws up the hill and sound so nice and solid aswell.

(bundy4x4)yes please if ya can send me some pictures would be much appreciated..also (kustomv840) that pipe looks nice. i like shiny chrome things
so you reckon the set up won't work properly with a weber?

yeah i was looking at the CAPA website today.. i am only running 32/36 weber carby... i think that set up (as in the top hat) would be pritty pricie. but cheers..i also just wanna say to everyone thanks for the reply and information. i have researched for 2 weeks and can't find anyone that has put a...
