Screw that, wait until you can get a 95 with a 24 valve 4.2 turbo diesel. 70 more hp, and 100ftlbs more torque. E: You might find this to be interesting reading for that 2L-TE though: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/ideas-for-improving-the-2lte.680759/ Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jan 16, 2018 |

$2200 for a turbo diesel 1st gen 4runner in that condition is a steal. I love the graphics Toyota put on Hiluxes in the 80s.

It's also as gutless as the engine in our cruisers.  90ish horsepower, 160ish ftlbs, doesn't like more than very modest boost and EGTs have to be kept low to keep the head from falling apart... It's like the 2L is kind of a miniaturization of a 3B.

KakerMix posted:I take solace in the fact that I've daily driven a kei van from the early 80s so I know 'gutless' and the Prado I got is about the lowest-weight one you can get being short wheelbase and a 2-door. I've been doing some more reading about the head-cracking issue with the 2L-TE and apparently you can avoid it by getting an EGT gauge and keeping the temp below 1000F. There's the odd anecdote about re-routing the exhaust too, but from pictures I can't see how that would help. Fermented Tinal fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Seriously, even with the timing chain issue the inline 4 from that era is the better engine by leaps and bounds. With the aftermarket that exists for the 22R you can easily make them outperform a 3wheezy and they'll last forever doing it. E: Not to say you can't mitigate some of the issues with the 3vz, but at the end of the day you're better off spending your money on a different engine.

KakerMix posted:I don't think the that garbage shitfire v6 4Runner sold at all, and I was never actually interested in buying it anyway. Still, I am learning a lot about it and them from you guys so thanks. Well, even with the v6 you probably would've found a buyer, especially with the vehicle that clean. If you want to see what your target demographic is like and what you can expect to sell a given vehicle for, check out Yotatech, there's good tech info and like all other car forums please avoid the off-topic forum or really anything outside the tech and marketplace subforums. A lot of those nerds will dogpile just about anything from 1981-95.5 that is a light truck or suv that says Toyota and has a salvageable chassis just due to them being Hiluxes.

Ferremit posted:The first of the 2nd gen Toyota surfs with the 3.0TD motor came out in 1993... that engine is a rocket in something as light as a surf. I dunno how they do it with truck cabs but something like that 2nd gen USDM 4Runner would've originally shown up in the States with a steel panel in place of the rear seats for chicken tax reasons. Maybe the rear seats of cabs with 2nd rows are done the same way. It makes it classifiable as a MPV instead. Even my FJ45 is classed as a MPV despite being a pickup truck. It has spent its entire life here in Canada so my only assumption about the classification is that maybe it was imported here thru the States. E: The panels themselves are desirable objects for some 4Runner owners, few exist because they got rear seats installed by dealerships and most were scrapped as soon as they were removed.

The 'F' in FJ40s stands for the Toyota F engine, same with the FJ70. If it's a BJ70 then it's the B engine. The Crusier I have is a PZ70 'cause it has the PZ engine in it. My FJ45 has a B engine in it.

KakerMix posted:I found out last night that the 3Y-U engine was used in the USDM Toyota Vans in the 80s so finding consumables is ez-pz which is great. You found out right now that the 4Y-E is an almost direct swap out (they differ mostly by internals), bumps you up to just under 100hp, and Toyota Industries still puts them in their forklifts. They frequently hit 20,000+ hours in this application, which is post-million mile territory. You can also run them off propane or natural gas.

DJ Commie posted:Do the UK market versions of these various JDM imports have speedometers demarcated in miles per hour? You could probably get a Toyota Van speedo cluster, I bet they're the same. I did the opposite and rolled the odo on the km/h cluster I bought for my FJ45 to the km equivalent of the mph one. When I asked the MTO if this was okay and they said yes. Only thing is I have to remember it's technically "rolled over" once even though the cluster is NOS.

Just like Japanese auctions, you could roll a US market speedo back/forward, though its to match the kilometers the car has done and have a mph speedometer rather than outright fraud.

It's not unlikely that the vehicle was actually manufactured in 1991 too.

Anything 1983 or older is exempt, good Jeeps of that vintage seem to run about $7k on craigslist here, so I figured if I could get this diesel one (also smog exempt) for $7k it would be a reasonable deal. I hope that $6500 is you and that you are gonna own an actually interesting Jeep.

KakerMix posted:I'm trying to settle on what the repetitive money makers are. I don't have much of a sample size but kei vans sell but only to specific people, and finding those specific people is more difficult than I've anticipated. Plus like I already said, I over paid for the 83 Acty as well as the earlier 83 Hijet I had. I thought that them being so uniquely early Japanese would be worth it but I was wrong. The trucks could probably sell much easier because the price difference. So long as there are offroaders, you will likely never have trouble selling off a 70.
