Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just wondering if anyone has the same car ?
87' hilux, duel cab, 4y engine

Main question is what the fuel consumption is like ?
Seems mines pretty poor but ive put that down to it being original engine with poor manifold, well i like to think thats why cause i
wanna put a new engine in it.
I seem to get between 6 and 7.5 kms/ltr... is this bad ? from what ive heard it is.

also considering painting it white 20cans of spray or a proper gun ?

fuel cosumptin don't know much about the 4y never ownerd one or knowen of someone who has but for paint use a gun and do it right, with cans you can see it's dodgy by how the flow is i've seen some done like this and it looks crap maybe if you can't spay get someone a carton or 2 who can makes alot of differance in apperance

yeh i think ill take that advice, only thing making me think i could paint it was m8 and i did such a good job painting our rims
(we even used primer ) lol i hope i end up with a better job than i have
ya rckn clear coat is worth it ?

Mate, finally someone with my economy!!!!!!!

I just put in a 4y about 8 months ago, she is better on fuel than the 3y was, but the most i have got from the tank is only 270 ks, and thats babying the thing! the worst i have had was 180 ks from $75 of fuel.

the economy is even worse now that it dosen't have a snorkel. I HAVE changed everything, including brand new carby.

50 litre tank ? mines only a 40 litre and i get around the 250 mark "babying it" as you say lol

does the snorkel make that much of a difference to economy does it ?
I dont have a snorkel yet but will in a few weeks would be good to see an increase

but yeh, mines had a few heavy services as well.
I think this must be normal for a 4y i havent read what they are rated at so i dont know but sounds like it,
wonder if age makes a diff, how many kms urs done ? mines nearing 400k :(
Have you only ever used the 4y with ur 33's ? wonder if that makes a diff.

My 4Y (4Runner, 89) gets about 20L/100km. about 230 from a tank.

Coming out as soon as I can afford it. 3RZ going in.

my 85 d/cab 2.4L deisel 33's tyres 4.5 diff 450-500 to a tank on the highway siting on 80-90km

ages ago i got mine rebuilt and I got 300-400k`s depending were I`m driving and thats 75l tank


Crunch,I used to drive from here to thornleigh and it used 16L
