v6 hilux

[duality]

well i havent really posted here i think lol, but i just got a question bout my hilux. A guy wanted to sell me a v6 engine with everything needed for $300. But would it be worth putting in my hilux and how much work would it take to get it in right? If it not worth puttin in what engine would be better?, dosnt have to be v6 just something with a bit of power.

Thanks

V6... do you mean one of those dreadful Buick V6's? An MZ V6? Nissan VG? Helps to be specific...

O sorry its from a commodore, not sure what model its from

A few people on here have done them, try the search button to find out who, and then ask them.

many hiluxs with them out there

no matter what engine u fit price can be similar

any en gine that needs mounts etc will cost alot
unless you can do the work yrself

plan to spend 5g or more

if you cant afford to spend more than 3g and you cannot do some work then dont waste yr time

make sure u get everything with the enigne like electricals and sensors and ecu

and if its a vr vs v6 on newer then u need to pay to get security removed from ecu

i have done about 5 v6 hiluxs in past year

The engine i can get is $300 with all elctronics, ecu etc. Any modifications needed i can do myself, like i should be able make some mounts myself.

Make sure the lux is older than the motor. Probably better off getting a $300 Commodore then you can swap it over a la front cut conversion. What model lux?

lol hiluxes and commode v6's are like bbq and beer... don't i know it now.

Well i'm thinking of buying this engine. But a guy at work told me if its VN or up it's probably not worth getting. If its under VN would it even fit in my engine bay? and would i need to upgrade my diff?, if so what diff would be best for my hilux?

Thanks

Yo,

V6 did not come in commodore before VN. I think he's having a lend of you.

You won't need to upgrade the diff. A lux diff will handle anything a Commodore V6 will dish out.

Oh really cool . Even a diff for a 3Y engine?

And also a guy at work told me i wouldn't be able to put a v6 in my lux cause i'm a P plater. That true?
