It feels simple now, but at the time, having not done anything like this before, it was daunting. I would say on the scale of engine conversion that at our there is pretty straight forwards. Everything you need you can get from marks4wd adapters including the step by step instructions.
Hey mate, no build thread, sorry. Cooling is a standard 3L radiator with the biggest SPAL fan I could buy, and there's a custom-made shrowd. It does get hot in summer if you're pushing through soft sand for too long. Stays cool if you keep moving. Don't generally overheat when doing doughnuts or skids like in this video it will chop up for ages. It's under-cooled however for really soft sand at low speed. There's a playlist for the build but it doesn't cover wiring or cooling I'm afraid. ru-vid.com/group/PL1W_7suHM7BsmmNw1CYB5ifg6kuHoHP7c
@@SUPERCHARGEDHILUX Cheers for the reply. Yeah I've watched all your vids 👌 Love the build. Its all good, I followed for inspiration. Mines all sorted, just gotta dot the i's. Glad to know the stock rad can mostly keep up. 🤙
Them spot welds when she still hot give it a hit with a hammer and hold something solid on the other side. Them cab mount ones put a jackstand or something under it spot it and give it another hit
Fuck yes!! I had one of these back in the day, single cab tub, 308, 35s when they wer considered huge, black paint, I loved it what I would give to have that beast back, the memorys....
@@oceanz4meYou might be okay, but if you’re going through a lot of very soft sand It might get warm. I am still using the LN106 radiator which is a 3 core copper brass radiator with the most powerful span fan i could buy, which holds up okay, it does get warm when its boggy and you’re going to slow if it’s a hot day. Funnily enough It doesn’t overheat doing donuts and any other kind of thrashing. The only thing that warms it up is long sections of very soft sand if you’re not going fast enough. Any fan needs a good shroud to help the fan pull the air through make sure you fab one up. My shroud could use some flaps on the shroud to help incoming air pass through when there is enough forward speed. I’ve also just removed the air conditioning condenser to help with airflow. We’ll see how that goes.
if you dont want it rust anymore put a bitumen part over it i put it in mine hilux 1991 stuff i use is Brushable Hydroseal Bitumen Based, Brushable Waterproofing Coating from mitre10 it $43 it best stuff to play
33s and a 2" body lift. Driven around on 33's for years without dramas. I recommend them, they much easier than 35's on the breaks, steering components and most importantly their easier to skid.
@SUPERCHARGEDHILUX I am currently running 31s. My next set will definitely be 33s, hopefully after the V8 swap might also look into brake upgrades. Cheers mate.
Hey, Stich, I'm not too sure it's a weekend car. I'm not counting the km. I think it's reasonable around town! It drinks it however if you're driving like race car driver. From memory, on the last trip I did, it got about ~320 km to ~55L with several overtakes and full load of campaign crap and dirt bike in the back. That would put it right up there at 17/L per 100 haha but it's likely better than that around town.
Thanks for replying mate, I think I've decided to get an L67 then put a turbo on it rather than the supercharger, should be a little better on juice. I'll probably be in touch with more questions as I do the conversion of that's okay. Cheers
I owned a Toyota LN106 and it could go places many other four wheel drive owner feared to go. The 2L motor combined with the front axle setup makes them unstoppable. I live in Indonesia now and drive a Toyota Kijang Kapsul with a 2L motor. Love it😅.
Yeh man 4wd works good. It pulls like a supercharger tractor it’ll break ya neck in 4wd. Heaps of fun to leave it 2wd I don’t use 4wd much unless it gets stuck.
It is a TJM bullbar and no they don’t make it anymore I don’t think. Pitty because it is the best looking hilux bar! It may still be worth emailing them or something.
I just realised it says Kalmaker on the dyno. This wasn't the final power. This was an earlier dyno. This was before installing the haltec, wideband and some of the other mods. The long answer is that I have no idea what power it's making now. It does boogy :)
Gday mate love the commitment👍 good to see another w.a bloke with a passion for the old girls, Im a 1985 LN65 man iv got 2, slowly bringing one back to life after my original rusted out Keep up the good work mate 🤙
In Qld those laws are similar for cars, but these are commercial vehicles. Im pretty sure you can drop anything in as long as its mod plated. Not 100% but maybe do some investigating.
I dig this build. Hey from the ozarks of usa, had an 86 toyota pickup a few years ago. Really miss it, you guys have the good hilux yota stuff and here we have all the cheap engines lol
Hi AA thanks for watching I’m hoping more people from the USA will enjoy this also! Australia got a few models which the USA didn’t get. I like watching USA builds on the tubes for these earlier pickups!
@SUPERCHARGEDHILUX check out pirate 4x4 if you haven't already. Good forums. Ee envy the diesels you guys have. I'd love to swap a 4bt cummins into a solid axle pickup.
Oi brother big fucking props to you old boy. This is fucking dope.. bring on ya next project old mate. And I hear, according to ya good old friend on the cam in the very first bog hole that ya gonna do it for a charity... YA OWN ONE. GLHF MATE
