hey, im lookin at engine options for my 94 double cab hilux, im thinkin 1uzfe at the moment,, but i am also lookin at sellin up and buyin a single cab hilux that has been converted to 3sgte and goes bloody well, im thinking both would be reasonably quick but the 3sgte probably has more scope for future mods? also if i go with the 1uzfe into my hilux who do people reccomend to go to, im thinkin performance metalworks as they aparently do a $10k turn key package, any help appreciated and new suggestions welcome, thanks.

1vdftv

but seriously...... 1uz > 3sgte for a ute....

what are you using it for? carrying stuff? or looking cool?

If you're looking at 10K then why not look into the 2GR-FSE. 3.5l V6 with dual vvt-i and gasoline direct injection. 350HP standard. Would be completely different only hard part would be converting it from east-west to north-south.

I do love it when people say that sort of thing...

For a tow ute, 1UZ, for a round town(as in daily driver), 3sgte, if you're looking for a round town show car, 1UZ

i use it just to carry motox bikes around and just as a wknd car as i dont need to drive to work because i live so close, i originally thought 1uzfe into my lux but i can get this 3sgte ute for about 7k cheaper then it would cost to do mine all up and it has lot of extras and is still bloody quick.

I got 2JZGE in my Surf, still got 4x4 and it cost no where near $10k. If I got 10K, I'll go for 2JZGTE and still have $$ spare..
I got mr "ke20" to do it for me.. as he got 2JZGE in his 2WD double cab too.

Maybe can ask if he will do it for you for under $10k

by **Mr Revhead** » Tue May 08, 2007 10:41 pm

think of the use
think of the budget

then the answer will be revealed!!

Only thing I was thinking was finding the right gearbox to match the engine as I'm not sure the current gearbox would work so well.

You ever seen one of their conversions? They look factory, its so awesome.
I think $10k to drive in with your standard Hilux, then drive out with a V8 powered one without supplying anything is pretty bloody good.

thats easy as the ST141 corona comes with a 2S motor there goes your bell houseing & it can be fitted to a W5* box with just a little bit of love from Mr angle grinder

1UZ might cost you say $1500 with loom ecu and auto trans. I'd just use the auto trans... simple and cheap might need to get someone good to do custom extractors so they don't hit anything (like chassis, steering).

2JZGE with loom, ecu and auto trans might cost $1500 (or less) as well... probably get a whole car for that $. Same as above - just use the auto. exhaust will be simpler than 1UZ

3SGE - buy an altezza motor and gearbox etc, maybe $2000 to $3000? might get you the 6speed manual.

3VZ - 3 litre V6... buy one from a V6 SURF... bolt in

not heaps of power as the surf V6 is only a 12valve (I think). No idea of the price probably not worth it for the $... 3000 to 5000?

I would go for the 2JZGE option. Do some homework on what sump position you want.

Don't even bother with a 3vz, hopeless engines, of about 100 or so I've driven, none have been very nice.

Mind you, if some surf owners actually looked after their cars they would be a little better...

by **KinLoud** » Sat May 12, 2007 9:15 am

Yeah the V6 in the surf isn't as good as the camry version 12 valves vs 24 valves.

are you guys for real, my mums 3.4l v6 surf (96 or 97 i think) goes like a cut cat for a suv, keeps up with/is faster then my car :oops:

by **Mr Revhead** » Sat May 12, 2007 10:22 am

3.4 litre?
check the year please.
thats not a 3vz
the 3vz is rather gutlless, not a lot better in the camry!!
personally, id only ever use one for a boat anchor.

the 1uz with auto is a rather easyish option

i still want to get an auto v6 surf and stick a 1uz in it.....

by **bluemaumau** » Sat May 12, 2007 12:01 pm

i never said it was a 3vz

EDIT: its a 96 with a 3.4 v6 quad cam.

5vzfe :twisted:
