1g-gte into Hilux - ADDED PICS OF PROGRESS

[loluxsrus]

Mate, just mod the bracket off the gearbox crossmember. The W58 box uses the same gearbox rubber as a Lux. So just cut, move to where you need it, weld it, & abit of paint, and ya there. I think I only put mine down an inch, if I remember. Hope that helps.

almost got the gearbox mount done now, just have to level out the engine to get the bellhousing level then i can mark it and get it welded.
thanks mate

have you looked at any of the ra2* => 1ggte conversion pages? cos ill bet that an 18r slots right into an Rn 41

wtf? they came with 18r's standard. RN41s have the same engine brackets as ra40s I believe, so it should be a bolt in deal with the right brackets on the 1ggte

anyone know the size of the std intercooler inlet pipe size??

[81hilux09]

just a few pics of the progression of the conversion..

i have the engine/gearbox bolted in now.
have to do : intercooler piping, radiator pluming, pwr steering lines, alternator wiring, ign/fuel wiring, move battery to other side of engine bay, install seats and shorten tailshaft with new yoke thing on the end for new gearbox.
THanks

more pics.

oil fitting to get rid of the stock oil cooler for the oil filter which didnt fit

i fully did the front end up as well, doing ball joints, shocks, disc brake conversion.


radiator had the outlets moved to suit the thermostat housing

engine in

intercooler piping sorted

dodgy cheap arse bov from the states, only got it becuase it came with the adapter pipe



grill on, fit like a glove after removing small plastic mounts bits in the middle


a MX83 cressida master cylinder fitted, gives more room for the pipe to go into the turbos as the front brake line output goes up instead of into the engine

[81hilux09]

also did a power steering conversion and used a MX83 cressida pr steering hose and one off a 4 runner for the low pressure side.


another one of the master cylinder.

so thats about it for now (after a day of panic becuase i sliced my hand open on a piece of steel and had 3 stitchers on my index fingers knuckle)
need to get starter motor wired, alternator and the 3 wires for the ecu to get the thing fired up!!
