transplant has started today. replacing my stock 3L drivetrain in my ln166. going with a full 1kz auto transplant. replacing everything down to dashboard. pics soon

You can use
valvoline vo-1
Purolator l10241

or if you can't find those you can use
Purolator l20064 or valvoline vo-33 in a pinch. These do not have a relief bypass valve meaning the oil has to pass through the filter medium at all times.

The only thing I use from Sakura is their air filter. .. i Don't trust the oil or the fuel filter.

What is the general consensus on the Hilux 2.5 diesel turbo ?
Is it ok power for a regular user not looking for any excessive speed ?

Somebody I know is selling a TCE model.

Looking for a 2kd compressor. Any info would be good because I know nothing about those engines.


The part is not for me but a friend.

Anyone using a 2 inch lift on their hilux? Any problems with the cv joints, control arms, drive shaft etc? Thinking about doing a proper 2 inch lift, 2 inch adjustable coil overs in the front, 2 inch leaf springs n shocks in the rear. Any info appreciated

Where did you source parts and labour?

[kamakazi]

I'm looking for oem rear leaf Springs from a 3.0L lux.... How much do you think they will cost.

I would say Dean's, Bad Granny, droppa on the forum, etc. The kits are a pretty simple install.

I bought the kit on amazon and installed it myself by Dean's in Diego Martin.

pics don't do it any justice honestly but it looks really good in person

[Jimbo]

Ohhhh das u! Looks real good in person I can vouch.
I live Diego side too so always seeing you around.

How you find the procomp stuff rides compared to stock? And how long you have it installed now?

[Paullct]

It was a bit stiff at first but after settling out, it's close to stock IMO. Still a little stiffer but that's not an issue for me. If you going with this exact kit, I recommend going to Dean's if you don't want to do the install yourself as the guys there are familiar with it, having helped with mine.

Cornering stability and overall handling dynamics better worse or same?

I'd assume it'd be negatively impacted as higher cog.

Not if you get a wider track. According to a lot of the hilux junkies in down under (newHilux forum), a quality lift kit with new shocks springs etc actually improved the handling of the hilux significantly from Stock. Of course a hefty price tag is attached but them boys take their vehicles seriously

Correct. I actually find it better now. Honestly, it takes a couple days of driving to get used to the difference but once you do, there's no going back. I also give credit to my tyres.

You quickly learn all the changes in overall handling dynamics and drive it to suit. I still drive the same speed, corner same speed and everything.

Looking great man. I see pro comp have a 6 inch lift for the hilux but tht might be over doing it lol

Because of the body mount right behind the front tyres on this model Hilux, no matter how much lift you put, you're limited to just under a 33" tyre without having rubbing issues or having to alter the body mount.

[MISHI]

So they claim this is a leak of the new hilux....

[red bwoy]

so good day guys new owner of a 2014 Hilux second owner dont think the first owner had ever gotten around to doing the 10,000 kms service.......so after reading this thread i decided to service used Mobil 1 Delvac Fram Extra guard Filter cleaned air filter purged water trap and greased crosses......am i missing anything that could should be done to ensure my vehicle runs great longer oh and i usually only full up at Unipet stations and i've used no additives to date

[topshotta20]

Anyone familiar with this light

[Xplode]

oil light ,it's low

[kamakazi]

Remember to drain that fuel filter sedimentor at least every oil change. ... unipet fuel might be cleaner but it still has water
Still not a believer in the fram....valvoline v01 works

[red bwoy]

Thanks for the info Bro
