what is YOUR hilux's 0-60mph?

[zerohero]

heya,

trying to develop a loose database.... a lot of talk about 2.4L surf's being sluggish, (and i know the few i've driven have been) but it would be cool to know from real motorists how their vehicles perform.


Use this as a guide...

Year of Surf:
Engine size / type:
Fuel:
Tire size:
Transmission:


I think this will be interesting information for all. I know that when you buy a surf you aren't looking for a speed demon, but its just nice to know the average performance of a surf for your own knowledge.

Go test ya beast out and report back!
cheers surfers.

You'll receive more variation in answers than you can shake a stick at. They get there when they get there, speed wise.

[hiroler]

Yours will do 60!!!

[zerohero]

variation is fine....
i guess the point of this is to just to have an idea where YOUR car falls in the spectrum.

As soon as I get my speedo working I'll let you know!

[Growler]

But that all depends on how heavy you use your right foot

If I had a shave then jumped into the truck and gunned it, by the time I got it to 60mph I'd need another shave.

1992 2.4, 100% Diesel fuel, 31s and an auto box.

Right then.
Did 0-100 kmh twice.
First run... 9.43 seconds.
Second run... 9.31 seconds

it's a 3.0 litre and it's intercooled


Mind you my old 2.4 on 33's... 0 to 60 was about 4 days.

You gone the way of the hairdresser Gra?

Or have you been busy with the silicone pipes and the jigsaw on the 2nd gen??

[hiroler]

i have 2.4 with intercooler and 33"s but it would still take a long time to get to 60! i will give it a go tonight!

[gwh200]

I presume it was fitted by a previous owner andy. To be honest it doesn't seem to make much difference.

[Cooler]

if i hammer the gearbox barely clutching it will do sub 9 secs to 62. but thats because i have a 210hp 3.0 tuned by gwyn lewis with all the trick. although allisport reckon if it was intercooled it would be around 230-250bhp at the engine.

i got mine to 60 once, i saw steam then, ah well...... she aint built for speed, she's built for mud......

Timed my Surf’s 0-60 three years ago when I first bought it and it was a little over 9 seconds.
What I do know is that it would leave any 2nd Gen diesel Surf standing at the lights... and a lot of modern Mitsubishi L200 Warriors ect.
