Hi there I am in the beginning of a project I'll probably regret. I was hoping that someone could give me some hope here. I have a 87 hilux 2.4l petrol wich I plan on converting to a 4l lexus I'm not conserned about the swap I've done many but where are the weak points. Transmision? diffs? i know toyota trucks are well over engineered Mine for example has 620 000km on it original starter altenator, transmition, diffs, I just put the first set of ball joints in it last year(It was IFS) The ac still blows colder than any other car I've been in.
Here are the parts I've gathered so far
tacoma (96+ hilux) TRD electrick locking diff
R151F
1uz with wiring ecu and airflow meter
flywheel from 3vz (looks like it will fit havent tried yet)
I plan on making an adaptor plate since I'm In the metal fab buisness anyway.
My question is what brakes?
I know if you drive nice nothing brakes but If I drove it nice it would still have a 22re in it
oh yeah it currently has 35in baja belted M/Ts on it but I plan on installing 38s with 5.26 gears
