Just fitting the HD-EG Tomaso in place of a Feroza? All is going well, read a lot about what I should change, retain or swap over. Shannon from NSW has been really helpful in providing lots of support , he is a great young guy, look forward to hearing more about any other Feroza engine swaps also. M...

MM wrote: * If its a proper Detomaso then you need to use the dissy as the timing's done electronically ( knock sensor etc.... ) and of course you need to transplate the entire loom and ECU. If its got a plain distributor then you've already lost about the only really usefull feature of the Detomaso...

Flywheel on DeTomaso is suited to a smaller clutch diameter than Feroza, possibly meant for Charade, so hope to use Feroza flywheel, is there some benefit in keeping the DeTomaso dizzy? Sump & oil pickup do look a bit different, will change sump etc. Read in some notes that there could be 2 diff...

Is the DeTomaso sump any different from an Applause or Feroza? I can imagine them being a little different, being a FWD compared to a 4WD, but would really look forward to some replies on this issue. Maybe a Forum member who has fitted one of these engines into a Feroza will be able to tell me more ...

Hi' tehekho
please email me some sort of list of what's available,
I have a few Ferozas at various states of repair, look forward to your reply,
send to: hanniver@ncable.net.au
best regards from Ran

Well guys I just purchased a DeTomaso engine from a forum member, everything looks to be in fine condition, I will prepare it for re-install into maybe Feroza, Charade or whatever. Taking on board all suggestions & advice re: high revving & reliability plus from Mighty Mouse & others. Bu...

H'i' message from Ran (hannivers) I am now looking for a project vehicle, another Daihatsu Feroza --------------------- AVAILABLE Will list some surplus Feroza stuff soon. WANTED I am keen to buy a complete or incomplete Feroza Widetrack 93-97 model, Body must be in good condition, pay cash for righ...

Checked out that overheated engine, it starts ok, haven't replaced head gasket, radiator seemed to be main problem, had core cleared & tanks resoldered, replaced idler pulley bearing, all new belts, new coolant etc. Engine run fine at below 2000 revs, no smoke or steam, all seemed ok, then after...

Seen a few of what I considered to be De Tomaso engines in Ferozas, engines with dark grey rocker cover & red print, looks like a few were transplanted by workshops as just Jap import Feroza engines, I have seen at least 4 already, one was a farm vehicle and owner had never noticed performance c...

Please send a few pics of your roof rack, I have Feroza ll which should still be same fit, email pics to: hanniver@ncable.net.au

I agree totally with what you say, please provide more ideas & suggestions, regards from Ran

We look forward to your pictures, video & whatever, I am personally very keen to learn more about what you guys are doing, best regards from Ran

Spoke with guy last night, he told me that Feroza almost boiled dry whilst drivng in Melbourne, he cooled it down, kept motor running then added coolant slowly, had to repeat this several times whilst driving 120 kms, 10 klms from home he claims he lost all coolant and she was as hot as hell with mo...

Your VW engine project is great, please provide us some updated info on how the Feroza is performing, many of us would like to see some more pictures also, 10 stars to our Brazil guys**********

Seen a few engine swaps out there, but what would be the best? I would love to re-power one and create a great on road - off road Feroza with a non standard Engine, needs to be just right for the job, has to tow a lightweight camper into & out of remote locations, must be reliable easy to find p...

A mate really severely overheated his Feroza ll engine, only done 150,000 klms, something went horribly wrong, maybe thermostat, radiator, water pump, head, gasket or a combination of things, this model had oil cooler tube from oil filter base which connected to bottom radiator tank so oil got dam h...

Try New Zealand, they seem to have stacks of weird models of all cars which would be Direct Jap imports, try some of the online sites, maybe www.trademe.co.nz, NZ guys are very helpful in doing everything to help, has been lots of good feroza parts advertised over there, as far as Daihatsus I notice...

Sorry Guys' I should have posted a final outcome reply to this problem when fixed. Turned out to be poor mating of gasket surface, the small hose was ok but still replaced so was all hose & hose clips under inlet manifold on Right hand side of engine block, still noticed water drip, when vehicle...

I will check out the TPS and make sure it's operating properly, will take time to study & learn more about how the TPS operates, many thanks for providing such a great reply.

Best thing is if I discuss what he expects to pay, please try to tell me more about the chassis by email: hanniver@ncable.net.au

Weird thing, doesn't happen always, seems to miss as if on 3 cylinders, leads are ok, plugs are new, coil and dizzi cap changed. Can start it and runs great, go to put the foot down sometimes and it happens, may not happen, for half day, then as I select a gear down it may flutter & miss, whilst...

Has anyone in Vic got a good rust free Feroza chassis?
A mate is keen to find one, he is building some sort of 4WD farm vehicle and has checked out Feroza chassis as best for job.

Thanks MightyMouse, sounds like these Circlips are not so critical as Daihatsu would have us believe, definately prefer this style of external circlip, this forum provides a very special level of support, fantastic work, many thanks to everyone. Ran

Hi' ferozamaniac Great news, I would really like to fit those circlips with the holes however I have not been able to find such a circlip that is thick enough to replace the Feroza one, many suppliers have suggested that I fit 2 of the thinner circlips with holes together so that they fill circlip g...

Only prob is before they order part down this way they gotta look at car prior to ordering parts, my 90 EL111, 91 EL111 & 89 DX are all being done, one of them wasn't even registered but that's ok with them, so find a Farm Bomb or Bush Basher and they may fix it too. Was recall really about when...

Burson Guy quickly wrote part numbers on card, may require some corrections: BJ5660 Ball Joints Upper (4 bolts small) BJ3680 Ball Joint Lower-Kin Pin Set (4 bolts lrg) SX7601 Idler Set or SPF1084K Bush Only TE955 Tie Rod End LH Outer with LH Thread TE954 Tie Rod End RH Outer with RH Thread TE958 Tie...

Tried to purchase a new pair of front hub circlips today, tried Bursons, Repco, CBC and stacks of others, no luck! Got brave & visited local Toyota-Daihatsu parts dept, guy said " They got 3 prs in Sydney & they will cost more than $20 each" maybe somebody knows a good source of su...

Special Thanks: MightyMouse & AJFeroza Obtained new stainless steel screws - Coventry Fasteners, will replace larger Allen headed HT Bolts (mine chewed up by someone previous) was very little grease in there, I put good covering hitemp lithium wheel bearing grease in there, did not dislodge spri...

Hi again, today we replaced both front disk brake rotors on EL111, all went ok however I remain concerned about those front hubs, I found diagrams about hub regions in F300-FS-Front_Axle_and_Suspension.pdf which I downloaded recently. We were very cautious re-installing the hub components, could not...

Well Guys your good advices have solved this problem, today I checked out leads plugs, dissi cap and more, to my surprise I found one spark plug was completely dead, wet with fuel, so replaced full set, one ignition lead was also almost dead, possibly yanked in the past causing it to fail. Got vehic...
