YN57 hilux mods.

Postby ke25sr » Thu Dec 18, 2008 1:34 pm

My mate got himself a YN57.

Its got a tired old 3Y in it and i want to repower it.
I was thinkg a 18RG would do it nicely.

So what have other people done and what fits in nicely?

I do not want a larger Y series engine.

18RG stuff is pretty hard to get hold of these days too!
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

depends on why he want to repower it and how much he want to spend,

any change is going to need new mounts and cert etc,
so might as well go for something decent,

does he want to go to the length of EFI?

4AGE, 20V or even old bluetop would have to be better than the 3Y,

or if you want to stay carb'd as it'd be much easier, your pretty limited,

3T etc etc.

1UZ :P .


I've been thinking the same about the YN57 that I picked up not long ago. Have thought about maybe a 3SGE on Carbs, a 1MZ or 3VZ, maybe a 1J / 2J NA.


I think a V6 would be cool, but changing headgaskets sucks!
