That is definitely my cup of tea. :thumb
I've been wondering about this conversion for a while, how much does the body need to be cut to allow room? (I thought the engine was a couple of
inches too long...)

Dual Cab hasn't been stretched .... it has the same sides it had when it was a Type 4 powered beast.
I think Brad is putting on in his Dual Cab and he isn't stretching anything. They are 700 x 700 x 700,

Actually, I can see from the photos above that the bottom lip of the engine bay has indeed been stratched outwards by a couple inches....
700x700x700... from where to where?

The first thing I did was throw the traction control in The BIN, the inlet can be turned 180 deg as well , so makes them easy to fit into Cars ,
holden ect
I post some photos of the race car

Thanks Wes. I looked at one when I went to 11CAB's workshop last time I was in QLd and remember calculating that it was tool long to fit in an
unaltered kombi engine bay. I guess that explains the mods to the twincab above.
I am certain though, that if I was to go to the expense of an engine conversion, it would have to be an alloy V8. Even though I have a couple of P76
V8's at home, I can't justify all that expense to put in an old pushrod motor, so I think the Lexus or Landcruiser engines would be the go. There
was a Nissan V8 also, but I don't know much about it.

These motors are great for upping power out put as well. As they come with forged pistons and 6 bolt mains from the factory.

I think they are factory balanced also.
With the right exhaust they sound more like seriously tuned high OP NA engine, F1 note. Really smooth powerful.
As soon as i get my Gearbox back from CBB i can tell you exactly how much trimming needs to be done in the engine bay.nn[ Edited on 18-7-2005 by fozee]

That D/C is not stretched it is stock length with a boxed out rear engine bay.
I have measured the engine bay and a Lexus V8 and it will fit without boxing the engine bay.
Time will show this to be the case .. unless I go mid mount and retain the lexus box.

yeah that lextreme site has a lot of information about the 1uzfe aswell as the 2jzgte i believe. and a good conversion/forced induction forum for hte
1uzfe...should see the power some of the guys are getting out of a single turbo 1uzfe..that is a completely stock motor.

Which kombi?
The silver bus up top went through several 1800 manuals. He told me he used those cause he was seriously into offroad recreation, and the ratios were
more appropriate.nn[ Edited on 21-7-2005 by fozee ]
