Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys can anyone tell me if there have or no how much you can bor out of a 18r motor out of a 79 hilux
Cheers

Search the internet they use to race 18r's once upon a time.

Matt

They are a single over head cam, two litre engine that also came in the celicas from about 77 to 84 roughly.
The 18RG is the twin cam version which can be either twin carbied or fuel injected and takes to a turbo well.

But what is it you want to know about the engine?

hi thanks 4 that info.
i have piston slap and i wanted to no how much i can bor out of the 18r motor to get rid of it
and do you no if a 18r motor out of a crona the same as the 18r in the 79 lux Cheers

yes same motor, but the carby's and inlet manifolds maybe different same as the exhaust. If they are just swap these over when you do teh change.

As for boring out the engine, unless you are doing all the work yourself I wouldn't bother. You can pick up a reco'd 18rg for about the $1200.00 mark with warrenty, or look around for complete cars.
I bought a 78 celica with a 18rg that was in excelt condiation (running gear wise) for $600 cause the body was stuffed.
Sold my old engine and the left over bits off the car for 500,
$100 bucks for a new twin cam engin and 5 speed box

I think they bopth use the 18RB. Same block etc, quite a different sump

My 79 RN46 had an 18RG as did my 81 RN36, but I would think you are bang on about the sumps being diferent.

Thank 4 all that info again. So if i did find a motor out of a crona (SPELLING) i could just change the sump and all the other bits and peaces the motor will be a ok swap. or should i just go find a 18r that came out of a 79 lux

Swap your "hang ons" to any 18R and you are good to go

I forgot all about the sump change.
