Hi all I Have a old but good R46 Hilux 4X4 with a R18 motor with a 4 speed gear box. It is all in good condition but lacking any power or top speed. What would be a easy and chaep repower option . The present motor is fine it just lacks power and top speed. My preference would be for somthing that I could do myself.
Any advise would be apreciated.
Thanks

Re powering a R46 with a 18R motor

easy bolt in swap is a 22R (2.4L) or a 21R (2.2L)
the 22R you will find a good runner for around the 1000 complete
21R - good runing engine $150
There is some tricks, both engines will require the engine mounts off a 4wd 22R block, then both will bolt right in no problems to the original 4 speed
Done this myself
