Your flexplate should fit the rb30 ...

could be a headgasket.

Never seen a RD28T blowing a headgasket without cracking the head about 0.005 seconds later ;) and since the RD28T was the only, officially, avail. engine in Germany I've seen a whole lot of them.

I know ... The first one i had overheated and blew all the coolant out, the ...

what converter would you use when mating a 440f with a 1uzfe ?
Is this due to the different speed or you mean the different characteristics
between diesel and petrol :?:

Well both, im not totally on top of how an auto works, but the stall speed of the converter must be pretty important ...

what converter would you use when mating a 440f with a 1uzfe ?

Thanks for all the answers, we will try to source a engine from the states ...
What about the standard auto ? is it viable solution or ?

Should have worded my question better ... LS1 over LS2 .. sure a Ls2 makes more power, but is the difference more than marginal ? because the price is.

Does a standard LS1 have enough grunt for a 2400 kg winch comp truck ?
Can the 4L60 handle the abuse ? Any modifications needed, sump, converter or shift kit ?
Anyone used Marks4wd 4L60 - GQ/GU Transfer adaptor kit ? anyone used this ?

Thanks.

Anyone tried rear mounting the radiator on one of these bad boys ? Is the standard waterpump upto it ?

On a side note what HP figurs is realistic with one of these ?

It´s a 24 valve btw ...

On the Danish question... i think that realistically you'd want to look at a US V8; the USA is not far over the ocean and at least with one of those you will be able to order parts and upgrades off the shelf and get them shipped fast.

So LS1 or LS2 is the go imho. LS2 is used in the Saab 9-7X ...

Unfortunatly we dont have V8 cars on every street corner, so finding a suitable one isnt very easy ....

It would be "easy" to take something you guys use down under, because dellows and marks make adaptors for em...

Now im gonna sit down and watch the 2007 Outback DVD for inspiration.

But ...

I know of 1 Lexus v8 in a gq here in Denmark, and i think it's a little gutless ...
What about transmission ? If we go the LS1 route will the original auto hold up ? or do we need to beef it up ? if so with what ?
So many questions

Right now there is a Toyota 1HDT driveline in it ...
We dont have that many V8 cars in Denmark, Lexus 1UZFE and some bmw's, but generally very rare ...

I know that swapping a V( into a patrol isnt a new thing for you guys, but for us in little Denmark, it's not something you see every day.
So with your experience what would you recomend ?

Purely comp work (Okay maybe a trip into town just to show of)

Has to be reliable as parts arent available ...

Are GQ and GU brake master cylinders interchangeable ?

The problem is that the pedal keeps sinking, it dosent get really firm, so maybe a shot master cylinder ? and i have a spare GQ lying around ...

Thanks for the absolutely brilliant info !

Nice ... Thanks so far !
Now what is the Throttle position switch´s function ? I know what the Throttle position sensor does but not the switch .....

What is it ? and most important .... Where is it and what does it do ?

We need pictures of this little black box with 6 wires ...

the engine should run without the TPS connected ....

If it gets diesel to the injectors then it should start .... unless the timing is of ... Are you sure that your glowplugs are working ?

TPS. It stands for Throttle Position Sensor. And yes it's the black thing ontop of the injector pump, i think it has 3 wires ....
It is used to control shift pattern on the auto and to regulate the EGR system amongst other things ... Where did you get your 4.2 Diesel from ?

Is there a upgraded converter for the mechanical auto for the 80 series ?

62cc pump driven of the engine with 3 V belts, mechanical clutch (electric cant handle the power). presure relief set at 220 PSI. This setup works ... Smaller pump = Lower speed. This is tested on a competition car.

That sucks, i need a transfer with center rear output ...

What about other Toyota Transfers ? Hilux older cruisers ?

What transfers bolt up to the early mechanical auto fitted to the 80 series ?

It's been done In a chopped shorty GU ....

PTO isnt run of the transfer on the GQ .... It can only be found on the 4.2 boxes ...

What about a LHD model for us european guys
