vit 2l v6 into a SJ?

Post by Jay18 » Sun Dec 30, 2012 11:08 pm

was just thinking i know the 1.6 8v engine is a popular engine transplant for the SJ but what about the 2L V6? does anyone know if the adaptor for the 1.6 8v would fit the 2L V6?

just a thought, would it be a possible engine swap?

I must admit, I've thought about it.

I think it'd be a fun thing to do if you were building a Baja style truck with minimal bodywork and a full roll cage.

Isn't it a version of that G20 that they put in that Pikes Peak Hill Climb truck?
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

The 1.6 is more than enough. Especially on standard ish sized wheels.

I wouldn't bother with the 2.0 v6, just go for either the 2.3 or 2.5v6 :lol: that picture above is a 2.5 ;)

or there's the j20 2.0 16v out of the gv2000, would be a lot easier to fit as it has the same bellhousing pattern as the g16, the hardest bit of the conversion is sorting out a flywheel and also of you run it with a 1.3 gearbox I can't imagine the clutch lasting too long.

As dan says though the 1.6 has more than enough power especially if you go for the 1.6 16v with mpfi
