2jzgte hilux conversion

[#rolla boy]

Hey guys i am putting a 2jzgte into my rn90 Hilux i know a couple of these have been done before but all conversions are different what we will be starting with is a 2jzgte motor loom and computer with an auto box which will be getting chucked out and we want to use a w58 gear box because that will bolt straight in and then make engin mounts from there hope fully we can find a bell housing or a complete non turbo box they are suppose to be pretty rare also i would like to put a set of R33 front calipers on whitch i all ready have is that possible but any way here is the car and i will keep posting the progress

I'm planning to put my 1jz in a lux after my 1uz hiace is on the road, and i won't be using a w5x box, look for a r15x aye, i'm sure diesel lux's have them

what bel housing would you use with that are they easier to get your hands on than what im looking for

[nilprospects]

Bellhousing shouldn't be hard to find, soarers, supra's chaser's all came out with 1/2jz's and R154's. i think the "R" series hilux box is called a R150. I'm only guessing at this stage, i'll start finding "fact's" once i've finished my first project

[#rolla boy]

r series box's even though they are stronger i would like to keep prices down and with the car being light in the back with ally tray it wont get much traction so a w series box should do the trick

[nilprospects]

ok then, let me know how you get on, good luck

you can use a 2jzge gearbox or at very least the bellhousing off of one. I think you can get them new for around 400 but don't quote me on that.

this car wouldnt have had a R series gearbox.

behind the original 22R motor, probably a w56 or a L50-something.

another note is that you cant use an r154 bellhousing on a R150 since the R150 input shaft is too short

its a G52 behind a 22R

You can even use the G52 behind the 2JZ , how long it will last depends how hard its thrashed.

I'm reasonably pro-auto behind these things.. .really helps with traction.

Can't help with your gearbox dilemmas though.

good luck, she's a pretty tight fit

single or twins?

With an auto it is a real tight fit
If you are running a manual there is a guy in canada who make mounts to bolt the motor and box in.

I had no trouble fitting the auto in the tunnel, muchos more trouble fitting everything else.

Do you have pics of your trans mount would be keen to see the way you have done it
