Hey,
I checked out a 85 hilux on the weekend. It seamed pretty good but i'm a bit unsure about the engine.
It's got a 2L with a 2LT turbo and injector pump on it. Unsure on the engine kilometres.
The guy has had the car for 2 years and he bought it with the turbo already on it. He just got the head recoed 1000kms ago (he said it threw a valve).
How much life do you think this engine has in it?
Do you think it would last if i make sure it's running low boost and keep the temps down (probably install an intercooler and pyro)?
How much boost could a stock 2L handle safely?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Cameron
