hi folks,
I just recently bought a 1984 LN65 Hilux double cab.
it was too sweet a deal to not buy it but now I don´t know what to do...I have my KZJ78 which is a never to be finished project and steady consumer of my money and other resources.
the Hilux has the 2L engine and I was wondering which options there are for a swap (mainly 4 cylinder diesels) which don´t require a lot of changes on the gear box etc.
ideas welcome
I was wondering if buying/parting a Surf 130 would be a good fit?
cheers
peter

Obvious choice would be a 3 or 5l with turbo and intercooler
Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.

3L is rather easy to get over here. Didn't see a 5L in a cruiser yet. What is the donor for that?

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
hey guys,
anyone know if a 1PZ engine would fit into the LN65?
I could get one real cheap but since it is a shortened 1HZ I would not thin it is much of a fit here? the seller of course claims it is

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
The easiest choice by far for most bang for buck is the 5l turbo.
I also have a 2.4 ln65 and a kzn130 and am pretty keen to 1kzte the ln65 as the power is chalk and cheese lol, have seen a few 1kz ln65 conversions so suspect it is relatively easy, just comes down to ease really, drop straight in vs custom mounts.

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
Sounds good. I like the 1KZ characteristics anyways.
But I'm not sure if I get it road legal with turbo.
Still lot of time to decide. Thank you guys

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
If your In NZ turbo vs non turbo isn't really an issue when it comes to certification.

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
yup, Austria not OZ
Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
ok no idea about local rules over there. but diesal with no turbo feels very sad but I'm sure you will find a solution that works within the rule book. good luck

Re: HILUX LN65 engine options
hi guys,
my project came to a sudden halt!
I sold the truck at a good price, saving me some trouble and keeping me focused on my KZJ78
thanks for the help anyways
