Which motor?????

Post by Elmo »

85 lux X-tra cab, which i brought on the weekend,
as a long term project vechile

it came with no motor..... no biggy.....i've got 3months without a license

except QLD transport has granted me a probationary license yesterday :lol: , which i jumped at obviously and am now desperate to get it running and registered

I WANNA GO WHEELING I WANNA GO WHEELING I WANNA GO WHEELING

i need motor, g/box, t-case, and associated bits and bobs, i can install it myself, ijust need a drivetrain first

any suggestions as to what i can run?????

and if so, has anyone got something, they'd be willing to part with???

Go the 3rz-FE same as Beebee put in his rig. Will give heaps of power but at the same time toyota standard. Is only a 2.7 motor but I would say has more bang for buck than the options you have listed.

22R 96Hp 170Nm
3RZ-FE 150Hp 240Nm

PM Beebee for info on this conversion.

guys after reading all the posts of different motor conversions, yesterday and realising the price, i thought i should probably add one little catch, i've only allowed about 2grand to spend on the driveline :? :?

there goes the V6, or most other decent motors

what do you think would be the best bang for your buck????
