I don't have a build thread for the other stuff I have done to my prado but given the journey I'm about to undertake I thought I might as well start one to document the engine conversion Ive started.
After the outing at Mt Pleasant 4wd park I realised more so how lacking the 1kz is in the power department. Given my upbringing in high powered rotaries and Jap cars I thought I would bite the bullet and do an engine conversion. Motor of choice is the 2JZ VVti twin turbo 3.0l 6cyl out of the Toyota Supra and Aristo.
These motors make huge power and torque and will meet my power needs.
I will keep this post updated as I go but at the moment my brother (Handy he is an auto electrician) and I are planning out the rest of the stuff we need like buying fuel pumps, and wiring up the new ECU ready for install.
Have also lodged my Application to Modify Vehicle and got the engineer on board ready to certify. So it should be awesome when its done having 300kw at the wheels as opposed to at best 100 should make a difference.
