engine swap for a 87 4 runner any ideas

[bushytas]

Hi all do any of you know of a v6 diesel turbo or none turbo engine that I could fit in to my 87 4 runner.
????

Range Rover are about to release a 2.7 litre v6 turbo diesel on the UK and Europe market you could be the first to use one and tell us all about it
You could also use the Buick V6 260 ci 4.3 litre diesel but you cant stop the oil leaks on them

Apparently that Rover V6 is also targeted for Aus. So parts shouldnt be a problem either.

I know this isnt a V6, but go a Toyo 7M (Straight 6, either turbo or non-turbo)..

yes thought about your idea but i want to stay diesel because i do a lot of river crossings did think about looking at the hzj75 4.2 deisel but didnt know if it would fit ?? i just need more power to turn the 33 mudders and tow loads at the moment its running a 2.4 turbo

Get lpg injection on your current model. About $1500-$2000. Apparently makes a difference like a small nitros boost without the heat side effects...

13BT should slot right in.. 3.5lt Factory Turbo 4 banger, coupled with a custom Intercooler should solve your problems.

Also changing your dif ratios to 4.88's wil help you.

You could fit the 4.2.. but its gonna require a bit of chopping to fit a big straight 6 in.

have you any idea of a price on a 13TB or a web site i can go to so i can have a look and has any one else done this conversion ?
i would be inerested in seeing some pictures of how is was done

The bloke has transplanted his 13BT into a 60, should be some help.

Youd be looking upwards of probably $3k for a 13BT, There is a show in dandenong that sells engines, they hot run them for you with water etc connected... they have ads in 4x4 Monthly if you get it.

Im sure there are others who are able to help you with specifics

i fitterd a v6 4.3 litre buick/gmc diesel engine
its outta a front wheel drive buick oldmobile (usa)
it used the same bellhousing pattern as the buick/v6commordore engine
the non turbo diesel put out 80+ kw & torque was around 260nm
i fitterd a new garret turbo & custom piping
was a great engine. heaps of torque

some pic of my old lux & also pics of engine bay

I think I like the idea of this 13bt Toyota diesel engine because if it fits in with out to much modification and it’s a 4, if that is the case anyway
Can anyone else tell me about these engines and a price or web site to have a look at them?
