1KZ-TE in my Hi-lux pickup

[24Seven]

How easy is this convertion? Would TonyN be interested in converting a LN107 2.8 manual 3L to a 3.0 TD 1KZ-TE? over a period of time for cash

Love the pickup but it's so lacking in power

but the 2.8 engine is bullet proof isn't it? why mess with it? can't you just put on a turbo or something?

Have you got the 1KZTE engine to put in it?

Yes it's bullet proof, I don't know about a turbo?

No, I guess I would need a doner surf?

I'd go with GB's advice on adding a turbo. Seems to be far less hassle than a transplant.

I'm going for a 1Uz-fe within the next few months so if you're after a superb, well cared for lump let me know.

Can that be done then? Any advice gratefully received

After 8 years of ownership I'm both bored of it but would also hate to sell it. (if that makes sense)

Cool, you never know

I have a 1KZ-TE in my LC and IMO its a great motor, would love that power in my Hilux.

Far as I remember, (off the top of my head), it's not actually too convoluted. Best place to look for info on adding the turbo would be either Yotatech or Ih8mud. I think there's a few on those sites who've done various turbo mods.

I'd go with the turbo up-grade. Ive done the 3ltr thing and once was enough. Wasnt it Jotto.
