Outer Limits 4x4 Board

There seems to be quite a very posts about different conversion options around for Lux's so I thought some pics of a recent Supra conversion would show the nice fit of the M series engines. ( pics are a 5M-GE )

The ugly hoses for the air box and AFM are temp because the Lux already had the snorkle on the passengers side. A drivers side snorkle would tidy this up alot.

The conversion took 3 nights to complete after the old drizzle donk was removed. The only parts purchased were a new exhaust, cam belt, clutch, oil and filter. The radiator also had the top and bottom hose fittings swapped.

Shiny pics are useless!

Give us trail feedback!

Nice job- can't believe how quickly you did it! Did the old Hilux gearbox etc bolt straight up?

his right

Man give a guy a break
Always nice to give your customers a nice presentation.

OK trail stuff !

Download the file below. See and hear Lux + Supra getting a bit of a rev up, as you'll see they can scream quite well and do run sweet on angles. And yes they do crawl well especially with duals. Ill try and do some other vids later

Vid doesn't do much justice to the angle and steepness of climbs but you'll get the idea !

I'm still running the same box after 3 years

How good would a 2jz gte go in a lux if the 7m does that well!!!
Somebody do that coversion, PLEEEASE!!!

Good to have another ricer engine in the 4b fraternity

i know you probably have somewhere already, but wqoul u be able to give a detailed post on the wat, where, and how you did this, as being as mechanically challenged as i am, i need a lot of help... i was simply wondering how much u payed for the engine, which model supra it is out of, and then wat else there is to buy...

and overall cost...

if u can do all or any of this it is greatly appreciated


thx in advance

Do any brake upgrades need to be done with this conversion


got a 1G-GZE sitting in the back of a mates workshop that i was gonna put into a celica a couple years ago but sold the car before it got done


With all the talk about the 5/7M series conversions im thinking i might slid it into the lux

I second that!

OK I suppose considering I talk up the Supra conversion I should make up some info about doing one

Give me a little time and I'll get it together !

I'm doing another conversion this week so I'll get some pics and detail etc...

Are you buying front cuts to get all the gear for these conversions?
Where are you sourcing the manual bellhousings?
Dont know anywhere i could get hold of a 84model Soarer manual peddle box?

Nice work!

Those "Flap Type" Air Flow Meters are a pain in the bum to mount somewhere. I sat mine in the same spot as you have yours but later moved it over to where your filter box is and used a highflow foam unifilter. I dont have a snorkel though.

Anyway, 3 days...very impressed. ARMS UP!

Cheers,
Nick

I try to pick up a whole manual car if I can, but I have chased down the odd manual bellhousings at local wreckers ( picked one up yesterday ). The bugga is when the wreckers sell the W58 for a V8 conversion or whatever they usually sell the bellhousing with it and the bellhousing then gets removed and tossed

I would think that the Soarer and Supra pedals are the same ?? I have a whole Supra ( no motor + box ) that I could pull the pedal box from ?? You can have it free if you pay freight to Oz ??

Heh Bundy, The AFM is a bummer, also a snorkle over here is damned near compolsery

so to put say a 7m ge/ 7m gte in a diesel hilux g52 box i would need the supra beelhousing and clutch, correct?

wanna fly over here and do my lux, you can do a full writeup at the same time
