you reckon this would fit into an 80series GXL? i have a 4.2l turbo diesel (factory) which just shit it self. just need info thanks mate

@venn54 You could probably get it in there. Is far as I know, the chassis rails are the same from 80-105, so that leaves the guards and bonnet which will probably need some modifying. But, where there's a will there's a way!

would ya be able to fit this in an 08 lux?

[AustImages]

@AUSfmx99 No chance. This engine is way, way to big to fit in a hilux.

Sin of sins, would it go in a GU patrol??

@AustImages

have u seen the mechanical injection conversions to things like duramax and powerstrokes in USA?

they use it for tractor pulling etc; I guess its a lot less clean etc but interesting.

U have to somehow make adaptors for mech injectors.

Good conversion btw, but electronic trickery puts me off.

I still drive an old ford 1.8 diesel, no electronics and 55mpg ish.

Wonder where i could pick up the motor and box from :s

@AustImages

yes multi shot injection is the key to todays systems and ultra high pressure.

u can retro fit mechanical pumps to them still though, they smoke a bit more and u have to mount the pump but it makes the engine more third world and home repair friendly.

[AustImages]

@tpvalley Unfortunately, that's the way it is now. There's no way a mechanical system would be able to meet the emission regulations these days.

@AustImages be good if it had a mechanical injection pump conversion otherwise u loose the essence of the land cruiser, that is simplicity for ease of repair in the bush and rugged reliability.

sounds lovely.
