late 97 on hilux 3rz turbo conversion walk through

Dont have access to machine shop........ And trying to rely on some one else to do the job right first time is hard to find

pretty sure lcracing has made a few adapter plates for GM transmission

Can anyone confirm this?? And what adaptor is it? bellhousing or engine side? Price?

I know how to adapt the T56 to a w series bell housing to suit supra and hilux, also can supply a forward mount quick shift so it is 500mm to the front of the bell housing instead of the 830mm std,uses t56 throwout, lc engineering don,t do one for manuals only autos

it doesnt necessarily need to be done at a machine shop....

my spacer is 2 piece since it was impossible to do as 1 piece in a band saw.

ie;
1.trace bellhousing pattern onto 32mm alloy plate
2. drill holes for bolts and dowels
3. cut out spacer with band saw <- hell even a standard jigsaw would work

Is $188 plus gst good for 32mm plate 500x500

Just a quick question for all... anyone happen to have a 3rz turbo manifold they want to part with ? I sold mine off a while back as I planned to go a different way, but have now decided back on it, need a turboed 3rz!!

Did they happen to give a reason it could not be done??

[Tweak]

apparently they make some other bellhousing that suits the r gearboxes or some shit

Abit of a update with my hilux:
I developed a loud tapping noise in the top end this arvo. Think its either a bent vale,broken valve spring or a hydraulic lifter has pooed its self. Either way its head off and all new valve train possibly cams aswell and a head gasket.ZIf the valve has hit the piston then its engine out. Either way hilux is off the road for a shit load of time.
To be honest iam suprised its lasted this long with 17psi up its arse and a AF of 10:1 tune lol. I would of thought it would chuck a leg out of bed befor the valve train whent

Or if i get realy keens its a full engine rebuild with forged bottem end .... dont know if iam that keen just yet


Edit: What would be a good compression ration to run in these engines?

[brett_celicacoupe]

no hydraulic lifters in these motors. direct acting cams like most toyota twin cams.

be interesting to see what actually let go!

yeah iam keen to know aswell. gonna do a compressiion test this arvo. Strange thing its running fine, no smoke. spark plugs look great and it idles like nothing happend .
Been talking to the guy at road and track in ipswich. he said he would visit and have a listen to it for me

[brett_celicacoupe]

maybe its something trivial like an engine accessory then? alt/ps pump?

compression test front to back 190psi 180psi 140psi 170psi....... Ive seen cars run on worse. All with in spec bar 140psi but there is to leak down. held it for a good 5mins.
Either way head is coming off this sat for a look.

Also somthing to make ya laugh. Rang a "engine rebuilder" to day. A few things to note in a conversation. "you will need custom forged pistons which cost $1300"..................I hang up after that
