Engine Change?

[MaxPower]

Hi,

Im rebuilding a old mk2 hilux which has a 2.2 4y engine. I have cleaned up the engine and its looking sweet but then found out that you can't get the manuels 2 these engine any more meaning can't rebuild it.

so moving on im looking for a new'ish diesel 3.0 turbo out of a surf.

My question is are the engine mounts the same?

An help would be great

thx

(I love V8's )

Ok seems like no one knows much about that engine change so if some one could tell me of some good engine that can be fitted 2 a mk2 hilux, hilux use's same engine fittings as mk3,mk4 and maybe mk5.

it dosnot need 2 be a diesel engine I just want 2 get my truck going again and if i can get more power so be it .

Try a search on here, there has been lots of previous posts about engine swaps, like this one, http://www.yotasurf.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=2961 . As far as I recall this was asked sometime ago and I believe that the 2.4 engine 2LT will fit, I think the only difference was the turbo. I now wait to stand to be corrected on this.
Someone like Elvz will know a lot better, Elvz to the technical section please.

thx for that info been looking around the forooms a bit and one of the other engines taked about is the 2.8,

is that a toyota supera engine? if so how easy is it to fit because i can get 1 of those engines.

i would have just gone for a rover 3.5 v8 but being 20 i cant get any one to insure me .

so if any one has done the 2.8 swop any info would be great

thx...

The M series Supra engines fit quite easily with their own clutches, radiators and cooling sytems. The only slight problems are that the rear engine mounting bracket is a bit far back so you have to either weld over the mounting holes and redrill them or cut the bracket and weld in a 10mm spacer. The oil pan on the 5M and 6M Supras is at the front which is no good. There are other cars like the older Camry that have the right oil pan but they're rare here and you'll probably have to buy the MK111 Supra pan and oil pick up from Toyota (£160)

The M Series engines are all getting really old now and they have serious corrosion and cylinder head problems so you'd have to find a good one from an import. I like the 5M engine better than the later ones coz it looks like it was designed to be in a Surf engine bay and it has lots of ribbed alloy castings to polish:-) Although it's a 2 valve per cylinder engine its capable of much higher flow rates than the later 4 valve engines but tuning it costs HUGE amounts of money and the parts are very difficult to find too.

I wouldnt bother fitting either of the Toyota V6 engines coz they arent as powerful as a standard non turbo 5M

I like the idea of fitting a newish Lexus engine like the IFZ-FE (4500cc straight six similar to a 7MGTE) or a 1UZ-FE (4000cc V8) but all I know about them is that the V8 fits straight onto an R series gearbox. Whatever you get make sure you get the wiring and ECU as well coz otherwise you'll never get it to run on your own.

One small thing which might prove very annoying is that the R150 gearbox is designed for diesel engines and it has a really wide gap between 1ST and 2ND gears which sort of spoils the performance of petrol conversions. If you can find one the R151 gearbox from a V6 Surf or Prado would be much better.
Think this was a quote from Elvz.
