Thanks Jocko, You have cleared up a lot questions that I won,t have to post up now. After making a template of the end of my gearbox where you unbolt the transfer case and going to a few wreckers, found that it matched all the R-series boxes that I tried it on. So all I have to do now is buy the ...

Thanks Andy that would be great. Whats your ph number and the best time to get hold of you. If you don't want to put your number up then give me a ring on 0276711836. Thanks Carl Does anyone know the bolt pattern on the back of the R151 in the KZN185 is the same any other R series box. (Transfer ...

Finally got hold of an engine (intercooled) to transplant in my LN106 . Once I got it home and talked to a few people found it has TPS (throttle positioning sensor) and is not cable operated. Is this going to be a problem or can it be modified. It is out of a KZN185. Also it is a front sump model ...

hey Simon, havn't forgotten to ring you, just been busy. Whats the best time to get hold of you. Sounds like you have already done and looked at all the things I am looking at doing already. Do the KZN130 and the KZN185 transfer cases have the same bolt pattern with the side the front driveshaft is ...

Is there an adaptor plate to mount a LN106 gear driven transfer case to a KZN185 manual gearbox. This would then put the front driveshaft on the correct side and also allow me to continue running my transmission brake. Also if the dual mass flywheel fails and I change to a solid flywheel can the ...

Thanks for the offer Simon, I will ring you later in the week and set up a time for a look under your bonnet if thats ok. Just trying to get all the info and options I can so that I can get all the bits before I start and limit the time the vehicle is off the road. Your idea on the kw rating seems ...

Has anyone put the new KD engine into a LN106 yet. If they use the same block as the 1KZ-TE then engine mounts would be the same Suspect the worst of it would be the wiring.

Thanks for the info on the solid flywheels in the hilux utes IcedJohnno. There must be someone out there that can answer the kw issue. Thanks for the replies so far, we will get to the bottom of this issue sooner or later.

The figures I have are hilux ute 85kw surf (non intercooled) 96kw surf ( intercooled) 103kw So are the ute and surf engines exactly the same with a bit of detuning for some reason? Does the ute run a R-series gearbox and if not is that the reason for the detune. Just trying to get options for a ...

What is the difference between the 1kzte in the hilux utes and the one in the surf. The figures I have seen say the surf has a higher kw output. The reason I ask is that it is hard to find a manual 1kzte surf to do a engine swap into a 2.8 hilux ute. Most 1kzte hilux utes I have seen are manual ...
