kzj78 prado landcruiser commodor engine swap

[hello24]

have some pictures of the swap just onto the wiring side of things now.
looking forward to getting it going now.

have a vats removed manual vt computer but in the process of wiring it up... does any one have any experience with wiring these computers?

anyway details.
used a petrol rodeo ra bellhousing to mate the engine to the toyota automating (perfect fit). custom engine mounts and shifted transfercase forward on crossmenber 25mm, but as you can see the engine is still a long way back. some small mods to the sump including a dipstick. found out after the motor was sitting in the truck one of the engine mounts covered the dipstick hole.....

hello there , good to see you having a go at your modifications New Zealand motor sport has it's roots starting in the back yard. Now for the serious side , Concrete Blocks belong to the Building Industry and should NOT be used in the Automotive Industry, Not even to place your can on . Keep us posted on your build and most of all,

STAY SAFE,

FITZY.

hey i have done the same engain convershon u will need to get a chip for the smart lock other wise you cant start it

probably best to get a auto electrishon to look at it to coz its not as stright forward as you think it is i am having trouble with mine at the moment

you will also need to get computer reprogramed to make the fan work and talk to the computer

[hello24]

great, yea i have the chip without all the security stuff (vats deleted). just had my first try to start it this avo but no luck some how thought she would start up first pop so tomorow will look into it more and try get to the bottom of it. if iv got the chip without the security is it just a matter of power to the ecu and ignition power? ANY HELP ON THIS WOULD BE GREAT..

hi in regards to the auto what flexi and torque converter did you use? any mods thanks

[hello24]

used the toyota tc but changed mounting points to suit the commodore flexi
cheers

Interesting. Does anyone know if it would fit in like that in a KZN130?
The Prado and the Surf seem to have the same bellhousing
My bank account might not like how interested I am in this topic

[kbushnz]

Looks a bit small in that engine bay , could do with a few extra cylinders..
Will be good to see how it all goes...

[hello24]

thanks to evolution02 it will be up and running shortly. am supper excited to get it running its been to long especially when your only left with a 1.5l corolla as your daily driver...... conversion seems so far to be a piece of cake i think this would be a awesome conversion for a swb. just hoping the weight of the lwb isnt going to kill it too much... will keep posting..

3 litre NZ 2JZ was good in my LWB Prado, so I would of thought it would be good, what model engine is it?

[hello24]

vt 2001 commodore

[hello24]

As it sits now still waiting on a few more final touches exhaust, fan and shroud.
defiantly gives alot of room for a good shroud and easy as hell to work on tons of room

Good work! definately alot more room than the 1UZ in mine. Should be alot cheaper to run too!...
