Installing The 250Hp Motor Into my Patrol! 

I just spent 30 seconds trying to decide whether I watch your video or Macca’s hillux video first, I think y’all know who I chose 😂

Not sure if I mentioned it on your last video but would love a full price breakdown on the entire motor and swap. Including all bling parts, aircon hoses, adapter kits and misc parts you’ve used. Would be super handy to refer to for anyone doing the swap👌🏻

Man you deliver this content so well, and your workshop and car are a great representation of the kind of standard you work to. Keep up the great work.

I love the smaller details you cover, as someone whos doing a conversion the little details like where you ran hoses and what fittings you use makes the world of difference. So be it boring content to those who arent doing one, absolute gold for the diy group out here, keep it up 🤟🏼

I never really wait for RU-vid videos, but I was hanging out for this one

Just a great creation Tom, the Patrol is going to be a very special vehicle when you're done. Make sure you get an immobiliser & tracker at the least, the vehicle is going to be a "one of a kind". 👍💪🙏✌️

Two things firstly this bit I actually know as a machinist, drilling and tapping into the block is not as simple as putting grease on the end of your cutting tools. First preference is to pressurise your block so when you break through it blows the swarf out of the hole, if this is not practical then use a magnet after cutting to capture what the grease missed, (and there will be some missed). The second I'm going off memory, I believe when you first announced that the 4jj1 was going in you linked a video from the supplier, I watched it and if I remember correctly they dry fitted the motor and levelled it out and then tacked the engine mounts removed the motor partially and fully welded the mounts where the motor would sit level. Not trying to have a crack at you cos I like your content but people will use this as a how to video and I wouldn't want them to stuff up.

Engine looks so tiny!! Love the country background music. 🎶

That engine is a very good engine but before you decided going for that engine swap, did you consider the BMW M57 engine? Those BMW engines are superb and in Europe that’s the swap that people are doing into Patrol and many others 4X4’s. 💪 Keep up the good work 👌

Refreshing motor choice And an amazing engine for that size car 🚙

DIY Injector Seat Cutter 😱 - I'm really interested in how swarf is prevented from dropping into the combustion chamber. Did the shop tell you how thats done? - Great project! Loving it.

Keep an eye on that power steering hose at the motor end. Mine cracked within 1000km at the base of the thin pipe, although it was setup slightly different I can see the same thing happening. These motors move alot and those rubber power steering hoses are pretty stiff. I removed the 'banjo' style fitting at the pump and had a fitting welded to it.

So excited for you!!! Build is looking sick, keep it up

Looks awesome so far. Loving the build!!

Looks great, excited to see it when it's running.

Nice vid again. Looks great in the car. Can’t wait to see the numbers from the motor!

Yeah lots done in this vid. Keep up the good work. Really Enjoying this build.

Can’t wait to see what this rig is capable of. 💪🏼

Hey mate awesome vid as always. Really enjoy the way you deliver your content, the work shop and love the patrol build. Keep doing what you do 🤙

Killer content as always. It's so easy to watch. Your videos flow so well.

Bloody loving it. Keep it up

Awesome work Bro. What a beautiful looking power plant!

Awesome can’t wait to see it running

forgot to put your crocs in off-road mode, haha loving the vids mate

love your choice of the 4cy turbodiesel!!! sickkk

Great content mate, I love to see all the little bits n pieces that are involved along the way that you go into detail about! Just a quick tip for you, where your going to zip tie that power steering hose onto, I did the same on one of my engine conversion builds and eventually the zip ties break from the hyd line "pulsing" over time and the it will move and wear, your better off mounting the line with P clamps to suit the hose size.

Great work mate! You gonna tackle all the fab work aswell? Keep it up!

Fair play I luves me an RD28 but that's a bangin install.

Awesome as mate it looks good as with the red on the motor 👍🇦🇺🍺

That engine looks tiny in there but I’ve seen these engines make crazy power.

Looks sick mate 🤘🏻

Looks great mate. They should bring a kit out for a old hilux 👍

What a rig!

Can you do a run through on the vid when the gearbox is fitted back in? What Wholesale do with it and why? Why not GRT, closer for you? I understand the Nissan transmission is not as easy as swapping an upspecc'ed valve body in.

Gonna be so good when this weapon is on the road, would love to do this swap one day, reliable power is a win win

Looks mint mate should be a weapon once it’s done

Your making mad content bro, keep doing what your doing!. 4J is the way, future 4b modifiers will love you for this content🤌. 🇦🇺🤙

Looks great, thanks for not harping on too much and just getting straight to the point! You going to do any sort of sound deadening against the firewall/bonnet to cut any engine drone out?

You shouldve chucked a 4m41 in it.

Very pro 👏 👌

Looking forward to seeing the HP v Torque numbers

epic progress so far mate keen to see the power once all done what music did you use? do you have to use a special site?

Check ya valve clearances whilst ya there, schedule is 40k ish from memory but never get done and can make a world of difference

100% doing this once the zd30 starts playing up

With the power steering hose it looks like you you used a r6 hose? If you did those tails won't work

Hey mate, I'm really interested in your PCV crankcase set up. Could you send me the list of parts you purchased.

I like the common rail cowboys and Aussie 4J adapters company. But where else could I buy a complete 4JJ1 with all of the accesories included to ship overseas? What manual transmissions can take the new torque output? Does anyone make forged rods and cranks for these engines if I want to turn up the wick and go past 500 hp? What about stand alone computer fuel management systems for these engines?

What was the year of the car / engine that it came from? And how many ks on it? I’m looking at getting a Colorado or dmax with a 4j engine in it but just want to know what you got for a lead of example kind of thing. Ps love the videos on this build and every build you have done 🤌🤌

where did you end up getting that second water temp sensor from?

digging the episode mate well done. Tis and engine though not a motor we are in australia and not america hahah keep it up bro

Hey mate just wondering if the two different engine mounts came in the kit or just the brackets?

It's a bit funny seeing a 4J in a bay that could handle an inline 6 hahaha, just a bit of room!

Coming along very nicely mate. 👍🏽 Not something that I would attempt. But that’s only coz I’m to dumb to do something like this 😂 Ps I like the colour choice as well 🤙🏽

Cool

If you dont mind me asking how much did the conversion cost? Cheers

Like I comment almost video thank you for your realistic build videos with budget in mind.

Are you keeping the Snrok? Or will it need to change? Love the look of the 4jj mate, going to be a super reliable weapon. 👌

How much to get motor built mate I got a spare 4jj in me shed going to rebuild it and now I’m watching u do your swap was think well that motor in my Colorado would be mint

Is the the 4jj3

Why not a Fte? Best 4.2T ever made.

How do you go for inspection or should I not ask this question?

I am doing the 4jj1 into my GU. Can anyone recommend someone to get it engineered?

How much is costing you for the conversion

how old is this 4jz1?

What are the thickness of the shim to level out the engine?

Nice Nice. You should make your vidoes a bit longer

I don't suppose you have a list of the types of fittings used for the flex pipe to the rear air con? Broke that POS on my patrol and it's a bitch.

Injector seats are very important because they set the injector depth which is very important and has to be done with the cylinder head off so you can check the depth ie injector sticking out off the head which in turn puts the diesel spray pattern in the right place in the piston combustion chamber if it’s not right you could melt a piston or crack a piston definitely not a DIY job I’d strongly suggest you leave it to Diesel qualified people this is not a job to do at home if the seat is damaged I hope this works cheers

Hey mate great build series so far and a awesome job done . Was just wondering about the engine mount problem of having to be shimmed . Is this a manufacturer problem with the mount or every patrol may have slightly different rails ? Is dca supplying the shimms? Keen on this build to replace my zd30 slug . Keep up the great work mate 👍

Recall the drama of A/C line, appears you are running rubber lines in place of the hideous aluminium contortion that was there. You were so pissed 😡 with yourself at the time, now it seems so insignificant 😂. You are making this look so frigan easy, I got so stressed replacing the head on a 4JX1 and a Suzuki Sierra. There's one thing that concerned me, it was your choice of tool to tighten down rocker cover. My 4JX1 rocker cover threads into the aluminium gear carrier were all stripped out from dealership doing what I guess your doing, rattle ratchet. Please utilise basic hand tool or suffer the consequence of stripped threads, leaking rocker cover gasket. Mind you, with your black paint job, it won't be that obvious. 🤣 Carry on making it look so easy. Truly hanging out to see the results of the wholesale automatics upgrade to you RE4. Shame you couldn't retain Asin 6 speed, I'd love the couple of extra cogs myself.

i found owt. maxxtrax are cool aussies too but together ? no fit. maxtrax in use and after you tie ribbons to the maxtrax and when used, keep driving so the truck pulls one corner at the time topside, then keep driving to the water and clean them by washing, EzPz.

Man ur swapping an entire engine from another vehicle and ur selling ur content way to short. Cant u make it a bit more detailed, mostly for us morons who cant turn lefty loosey righty tighty lol. Its therapeutic watching this come together, killer content.

Go the Patrol! looks good ! something different I guess . 🛻😎🤙📹

Is this whole engine swap legal? Love watching yr vids bro heaps of inspiration for how I’m doing my patrol
