Saves you the hassel of selling and buying the same motor in a hlaf cut :y:

update as of 11/04/06

 

yesterday the devil tempted me with a cheap TE gemini...and i said no......on the weekend i saw something that made my hairy head stand on end...i saw a turbocharged 3rz-fe in a hilux. and then i saw what it did to the rear tyres. poor lil rubber things. they didn't deserve that. for those who don't know, a 3rz-fe is a standard '99 hilux petrol motor, a 2.7L (2936cc) four cylinder with a scissor gear twin cam arrangement (like so many toyota engines) its bore and stroke makes it a square engine (like the thundering 2jz) at 95mm each...this guy had stock cams, a hybrid nissan turbo and a wicked inlet manifold...it really got me thinking. even without a turbo (to start with), getting one of these puppies into a KE70 bay would NOT be difficult..the firewall can stay (at least for the timebeing), the stock box can be used...the engine is torquey and doesn't rev...but it doesn't need to, it's a 2.7 four cylinder!!!!

 

so there it is, gentlemen. i'm thinking i'll save the 1UZ (with twins) idea for a high speed spec car (highway work) rather than a drifter...but i'd love to hear what everyone thinks of this.

 

gentlemen! start your flames!

 

 

btw rollaclub, a workshop specialising in early compact RWD cars is in the pipeline...feedback?

Yea, its amazing what money does to an otherwise shitty motor :)

 

Just kidding, 3rz's in stock form do an alright job of pulling a 2750kg car along, hell it even spins the back wheels a lil rond the roundy things the council loves around here. Just don't evpext it tho have much of a top end without some heavy modding to the ports (they are poo but least toyota got the right idea).

Biggo is ghey!

 

Nah, Hilux's always go hard, they have no problem doing mad burnouts and the likes, I can back up that they tow really well.

marone 180sx, 3rz from america putting doun 480kw at the threads

i rolled the stoopid liberty two days ago.

 

back to the drawing board...

Should've grabbed the engine and trans from the liberty and slapped it in.

 

Someone on here mentioned that as an engine transplant, so why don't you do it?

myself and gearbox were discussing it one night, we came up with the conclusion that we could do it, just a gearbox would be the issue.
