engine conversion for 93' hilux

[lowlux257]

hi, I'm doing up a 1993 YN85r 1.8litre toyota hilux for my HSC auto motives project, i was wondering what engine transfers i could do...

i was wondering if i could put a supra 2JZ-GE engine into it, and what extras i need.

Depends on budget, time and skill. More than likely it will fit without too much trouble but it is the ancillaries that will take the most time/money(Engine mounts, ECU, wiring, cooling system, etc.).

i can get an engine from a friend for $400 in good nic, i know him well. i was hoping if i could just do an engine swap? i have 30 weeks to do it, but there are other areas of the car i am working on.

my budget is around $700 including the engine

not a snowflakes chance in hell you could do it for $700... espicially if after a motor you only have $300 left.

what components do i need if i get the engine? radiator? gearbox?

i can see why youwould want to do that..... spend the money and you can have the following

engine ancillaries (ps pump, alternator, air con compressor, etc), wiring loom, ECU, flywheel, clutch, gearbox, radiator, custom engine mounts, exhaust system, etc, etc

Engine conversions are NOT a cheap and easy process.

thanks admin for the awesome video :)

Super Moderator- isee thank you for that :) is there any engine that i will be able to fit straight in?

another Y series motor, L series, 3VZE, 5VZE, some R series motors... would be easiest, still a lot of work though

ok, would i need a new gearbox or radiator?

[Guest]

It would depend on the motor. You will need things like ancillaries, wiring, ecu, etc, etc for nearly any conversion you do.
