Your Hilux would have come new with either the 18R-C (if sold new in Vic or NSW) or the 18R (if sold anywhere else in Australia). This was something to do with the alpine environments in those states. The 18R-C was essentially just the 18R with more pollution gear on it.
I have 2 18RGUs 1 in bits because it was dead in from a donor car and the other is complete but low comp in 1 cyl. I am hoping I can make 1 good on from the 2. I also have a 18R that is mint original and running in my car currently. I thought you could use a 18R bottom end with 18RG head with some work?
Yeah potentially that is the case, however the 18RG pistons have valve reliefs whereas the 18R does not. So would be looking for a set of pistons to convert the R Tor an RG anyways. I’m gonna keep an eye out for a set.
I have the same engine but , I have a leak on my mechanical fuel engine pump, wondering if you guys can help me. Like if there’s a replacement for that one or I can make a mod? Thanks!
