2.4td convert to 3L

[Cant Get Right]

bored o my 2.4td manual so is there any bigger engine that will almost drop straight in and be fine

Look up what Bushwaker did, lexus V8 conversion. Stien has a rover V8 in his too. Think on the Ausie site, someone is coverting to a 2.4 to 3.0

yeh thought o that but all cost a fortune, as i am not too mechanically minded gonna need someone to help me. spoke to bushwaker about v8 lexsurf and looking to o that sooner or later but itds just summit to do me for now or it might make me happy enough to keep it like that instead o a v8

[Cant Get Right]

Still need advice yah donkeys, done a search but not much comes up. not a definite answer anyway

[KERRSURF]

easier to sell and buy a 3.0 mate if thats what you want, or save yer pennies and get a V8 and do the conversion.

[fatfires]

as I understand it 2.4 -3.0l is a lot of work, not just a drop in!
no doubt someone will be along in a mo with details!

Have you thought about fitting an intercooler and boosting your turbo up? If you're going to swap in a V8 or something later on, then why swap out your 2.4 for a 3.0 only to take the 3.0 out anyway?

The man with the answers, cheers mate

much more power will that give me and how much will that cost

Intercooler can be quite cheep, depending on where you buy if from. I got one from an Isuzu Trooper on ebay for £20ish. Then you'll need hoses, these can be pricey, depending on how many you use. You'll need a body lift to make things easier to fit. I still haven't fitted mine yet, tech weekend needs rescheduling. There's some good write ups here http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/performance.htm
