preston7 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Can a 3.0v6 sohc in a 94 hilux 4 runner be replaced with a 2jz ge without too much hassle? the problem is that the hilux needs a new engine but its a lot easyer (and its looking a lot cheeper!) to find a 2jz ge engine at a decent price. It's just that from my nova days I rememberd that changing one gm engine for a differant gm lump was no harder than swapping the origanal for an identical engine, well almost. is the same true for toyota?

preston7 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 'TOYOTA CAMRY 1998-2001 3.0 V6 ENGINE' is this the same as a petrol hilux? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 There have been 2JZ GTE engines put in so could not see it being any harder for a non turbo! Maybe ask dude think he done some work on one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Its easier to put a 1uz-fe in. boy down in wales does full conversions for around 3500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preston7 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 hmm £3500 is more than the car is worth, when I used to chav up my novas the 4 things that used to dictate how hard an engine swap was were, space, engine mounts, gearbox and electrics. I think space should be ok but what about the mounts, fitting it to the hilux's manual gearbox and the electric's. if i remember rightly when i did a 2.0 16 conversion on the nova i think i just kept the entire loom as it was and just connected up a live then earthed it, and with the 1.616v swap (i still have that car) the key with the immobiliser chip had been lost so i did the same but fitted twin carbs. But that was nearly 10 years ago so I might have forgot a few steps. I'm new to toyotas so dont know if they are as simple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 2JZ-GE engine is quite long, it is quite a lot of fabrication work, as monsween said - try 1uz-fe, if you have a space and skills to do it, it was done few times, you can find how-to on internet.

monsween Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think the 1uz mates to the drivetrain to retain the 4wd. I doubt the 2jz would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 i think it's been done before, did the boys from envy do one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the 2jz would Yes, it does, or if you want to avoid fine tuning to make it work, you can always connect rear diff only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ah right didn't think you could. I personly wouldnt go the 2jz as the 1uz is a more straight forward in stall for slightly more power and the v8 sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
