Outer Limits 4x4 Board

found a bundeera 84 model with 2.4 petrol motor for sale but don't know much about them. has 345000 kays on clock & seems to drive preety good. is there any probs to look out for? hoping to slowly build up to be a comp car - nissan trials etc.

Wouldn't worry bout the asthmatic motor to much, I bet you'd soon have a V8 in it anyway. but as a basis they are a really good bang for buck.

a set of dropped arms on the front, Long arm kit on the rear and some springs and you'll have a really capable little fourby

best part is, you can go topless

its a hardtop so no sunburn on my bald head. engine swap will be a fair way down the list of TTD after lift, lockers, tyres, etc etc. is petrol engine any good? not to thirsty will be a daily driver as well.

Never having driven one for any distance I can't really say, a mate once had one with the stocker engine in it and 35 inch claws, went ok. regardless, it'd have to be better than the 6cyl in the cruiser on fuel

22r? can be thirsty, never bothered me too much in the hilux, could still spin 33's in low range.

the motor is by no means a power house, one thing to do is make it into a 22re, bit more power and less thirsty from what i know

22re??? what is the difference? don't know much about the bundys. it does have extractors fitted already which shold help a little.

The RE is just EFI instead of carby. The 22re was used on early Celica's and Corona's in Australia.

this requires swapping the head too i think or just using the whole engine thats injected to start with.

From what Ive read up on, just the inlet manifold. Existing 22R head can stay on.

is it a easy conversion? are parts easy to come by? would it be budget friendly?

Probably buy a whole donor car for a few $100

Doesnt appear to be too hard, just a bit of wiring up to get the EFI going.
Plus the fuel tank will need to be changed or a fuel pump fitted with a surge tank?

I looked at this conversion for my lux although Im now undecided whether to convert the 22r to efi, put a 3rz-fe in or just leave it because Ive just had it convered to lpg.

Just use the standard tank, with an external high pressure pump like a Camera or VL commodore. if your planning on getting it almost vertical (or almost rolled, use a low pressure pupm to feed a surge tank and then a high pressure one to the engine

hav you had lpg in for long? heard mixed reviews with lack of power and higher consumption but works out a little better for the pocket cause of cheaper lpg prices.

Havent had the lpg on for long so I dont know what the economy is like on lpg. As for power, hard to tell because the old 22r engine is not a powerhouse anyway, so when Im driving the lux around I just take it easy and enjoy the scenery
