Basically I am wanting to get rid of my underpowered non-turbo 2L (2.4 lt) Desiel out of my 1985 Ln 56 Hilux and have had alot of trouble sourcing a 1ggeu. Anyone else have any other suggestions on a "bolt-in" engine for this model of hilux? I'm on a budget also which kinda sucks.

1UZFE Quad cam V8

I'd love to put a lexus V8 in but it comes down to $$$ (or lack of)

Stick with L series turbo maybe? Or 1KZ it

How much have you got to spend on it?

I did think of that but trying to get away from desiel, its costing too much in milage and rego ($300 year just for rego and 4c a km)

by **Lloyd** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 3:06 pm

Heh, people who still pay for milage

Well it'll be a cheaper effort sticking with a diesel. Are you wanting some decent performance out of it or just as a slightly gruntier hack?

by **overcast** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 3:09 pm

Lets just say I'm not wanting to be the last person left at the lights

So I 'd say a slightly gruntier hack

You're wanting an improvement and you've been thinking of putting a 1GGE in??

If you were gonna chuck one of those in, then go for a 1JZGTE.

Lexus V8's are all of $1300 lately - its a hell of a cheap engine considering what you get for it! Plus, its been done before, so no head scratchers.
