Hi all!
After working over both of the 2H engines that came with my HJ47 Ute it seems both are low on compression and needing rebuilds.
Luckily I've obtained a complete HZJ75 troopy as a doner car with a 1HZ turbo and going to attempt s conversion but have a load of questions before removing...
I've searched a fair bit but can't find much info on this.
I've got an Iveco daily 4x4 rolling shell. I'm most of the way through putting and LS3 in it but fuel prices have made me change my mind :/
So I'm thinking about buying a wrecked 200 series or 79 series and putting a 1VD into my...
I'm hoping to find some advice over here, since the limited supply of Toyota diesel engines in the US made people build some things us Euros or the guys from down under never even tried to do. 🙃
First: My parents own a FJ40 that was converted to a 2H engine with (i think) H42 by a PO many, many...
Hi all,
Most know a 1hdt 80 is $25,000 + in Australia.. a price that is a bit out of touch for me.
Im wondering how crazy it is to find a dead 3FE and convert the engine and transmission etc to the Isuzu 4jj1? My estimated costing being approx 10-15 grand all up with some DIY work.
There...
Hello mates!
It's me again, I have decided not to tinker with my 3L-turbo that's giving me some small issues which I find annoying. Plus, rebuilding it costs quite a bomb here (Malaysia) - probably less than what I am going to embark on but still don't think it's worth it.
So, I have found...
Alright so I’ve decided I’m putting in the 1hz turbo and getting rid of my 3f petrol but I want to keep the a440f transmission I’ve read a few people have done it but none have elaborated on how, so as much information as possible would be appreciated cheers

I just pulled this running 2L-TE from my Prado at 70,536 miles. It is complete from the fan to the bell housing, and includes the ECU and all of the associated wiring plugs (would have to be reconnected). The bell housing will bolt directly to any pre-1995 V6 5-speed (post '95 will require...
Hi,
I must admit this is my first post on any kind of forum so I hope I got it in the right place.
I recently moved to Cambridge, MA from Nairobi, Kenya where I'd lived for several years. In the process I had to say goodbye to my Land Rover Defender. A much loved G4 that had been on many...
So Friday night on my weekly trip home (a 350 mile journey that I've been doing for the past ~6 months and will continue to do until I can sell my house) I had just topped a large hill when I swear i heard a clunk (was listening to some talk radio via headphones so it's hard to say where it came...
So after hashing things out at the DMV I can finally move forward with my build. I have a 1987 FJ60 with a tired 2f engine that needs replacing. I have been slowly acquiring the parts I plan on stuffing underneath the hood and have the usual head scratching moments that come with a project of...
Would like to learn about your experience if you had your LC engine replaced with similar engine from another donor car? I have LC 94 w/HG that's been sitting there for a while and I want to do engine replacement and saw a recked 97 LX with 180K engine for sale. Could this work and what gotchas...
Trigger Warning: This is an engine swap question and while I am speaking hypothetically, it may offend purists.
As I waiver between what I will or wont do to my FJ40, I keep running across the new LV3 engine. Unlike the LSx engines, GM actually made a Gen 5 V6. I know GM V6s have been very...
Any help on where to buy a new FZ engine is greatly appreciated! I am looking to exchange my actual 3F on an FJ80/1991. I'd like to see the FJ perform much better than the posible upgrades I did on the 3F, still feels heavy.
Hi,
I'm transplanting a 1hz with h150 gearbox out of a 1996 hzj80r into a bj73 and I'm wondering what is the best solution with wiring up the engine and gearbox. Would it be best to grab a engine and gearbox loom from a hzj79 and the instrument cluster from the hzj79 as well. I have the gearbox...
