April 29, 201016 yr comment_433454 hey guys, I'm new on here and i have just purchased my first ke70.... i may have some weird questions so i apologize in advance.... My first question is about a 3Y engine into a ke70.... has anyone attempted it? .... looking for a 3Y now and would love to be able to speak with someone who has done it. Also can anyone inform me if their selling a manual gearbox or one that suits a 3Y or where i can get a belhousing that will fit the standard manual with the 3Y engine... Any other general upgrades i can do besides s13 tie rod ends, coilovers, s13 control arms etc....... sorry if i have caused a headache for anyone.. i know theyre probably obvious questions. thanks guys... any helpful input will be valued. cheers tay!

April 30, 201016 yr comment_433555 Why a 3Y? It's a truck/van motor, crap-all power and only really useful as a boat anchor Report
April 30, 201016 yr comment_433618 There was a ke30 with a 3y in it, on ebay not so long back... Report
April 30, 201016 yr comment_433671 umm ok i like where your going with that but man it really isnt worth it , cam a 4k or a 5k it will be much easy considering it use to live in there Report
May 1, 201016 yr comment_433853 do a stupidy high boosted diesel conversion! lol i was thinking the same thing 25psi ftw Report
May 1, 201016 yr comment_433889 should shove the 3Y in the lawnmower. think 4A-G, 3T-GTE, 18R-G, 1J-ZE.... 2J even.... I say Y 3 Y? did it fall out of your hilux? Edited May 1, 201016 yr by mirage1172 Report
May 1, 201016 yr Author comment_433998 hey guys, sorry bout the late reply.... been a busy week.... welll i was going for a bit more power along with currently in rebuild roller.... got a few question as i have just bought this project... myself and a few buddies have been thinking about instead of the heavily modified 4k being a 1.3 we would put the 3y in as its the 2l hilux motor and with a cam and headwork/ a few other things my engine builder recommended the 2l would be better off.. (in the long run) and i was also just trying to be different as everyone goes 4 age or sr or rb.... i wanted the 3y... but guys have all thought of everything... haha umm yehh also for obvious reasons the 3y was chosen .. :P lol anyone have any info on diffs aswell.. looking too do alot of work to this but would love to hear more from u guys.. constructive input is always welcome.... cheers..

May 3, 201016 yr comment_434414 still looking for a 3Y You mean you don't have one already? The _only_ reason (and it's not a good one either) why this conversion would make any sense was if you had a donor engine lying around that you could put in for essentially nothing (and that is a pretty bad reason for doing a conversion). For the time, effort and money that you are going to sink into this, there are a handful of other engines that are much more suitable and will give you much better returns. Report
May 3, 201016 yr comment_434551 just leave the 4k/4ac till you get used to the car characteristics before wanting more power! Report
May 3, 201016 yr comment_434562 Being different has its compromises (example 3Y). 1 - Power 2 - Torque 3 - Unknown cost 4 - Awesomeness 5 - Weight 6 - No knowledge/research available for conversion 7 - Your member will stay dry Being normal has its benefits. (example 4age) 1 - Power 2 - Don't need torque with 8,000RPM power 3 - Very easily estimated cost (and will probably cost less than a 3Y conversion) 4 - You are the king of awesome 5 - Light enough to handle 6 - Wealth of knowledge on internet 7 - :) Report
