Supra-Brett Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My mate at work has a automatic diesel Hilux surf with a blown head gasket. We got chatting about replacement engines and i mentioned the freely available and cheap 2JZ-GE. Ive seen the TT engine in Hi-luxs before on U-tube so im sure it will fit BUT What would he need to do to make it work Is the engine a straight swap ? Gearbox issues ? Engine management ? ect etc Please advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it feel stable in a straight line then? Presume corners are a no go tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WDFL12 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Does it feel stable in a straight line then? Presume corners are a no go tho!! Yea its perfectly stable in a straight line , Corners are not really a problem , I am in the process of changeing the rear springs as it does not squat as i found at Santa pod , A lot has changed sinse i brought it in from South Africa then it was std at 280 bhp and the rear was good but since ive started pushing over 500 we nead a few changes , Fortuneately i do it all myself so but then it wasent build as a drag truck but it is a fast road vehicle !
