"Give the customer a good reliable truck, that'll last him a long time" Good stuff mate! 🤝🏼
Reliability is very important to me. Cheers Kelvin
Love the work!! I can only dream of having your knowledge... Keep it up!!!
Thanks, will do!
Your channel is the reason why i fitted a 3uz on my nissan patrol.
Looking forward to the series..keep it up..
Awesome.
Cool as
Awesome work done
Nice work mate!
Busy man
as you have seen the busy-ness. Cheers Kelvin
Great video
Excellent work, real driver enthusiast build, made to driven. Love it! I'm in Flagstaff, Arizona and recently my beloved 1996 TRD Superchared Toyota T100 SR5 4X4 gave up the ghost at about 250k mi. head gasket failure, hydro'ed and threw a rod out the side of the block. So been seriously considering this 3uz swap myself. I'll definitely be contacting CartuneNZ as I gear up for the build. Huge Respect to you Gentleman and Gooday!
cool as. cheers Kelvin
Fark yeah I'm in for this exciting ride
This is the next video of us making it. czcams.com/video/bUaYMaHybnY/video.html
@@CartuneNZ sweet im on it
Hi mate sounds very good
Thanks
Love it good work hopefully i can put one in a lux or van one day
Cool as. Both are nice swaps. Cheers Kelvin
So awesome
"the love makes them tastier" ;-)
Sure does. And they are looking tasty now. Cheers Kelvin
Очень круто получилось!!! Вот только 6 передачи нехватает!!!
im in South africa my 2007model 3.0d4d has 589600km on the clock never had a problem with engine,gearbox&diff its still going strong that is the strongest engine on land.
You must have serviced it well. There are a few like that here in nz too, but also plenty of blown ones
That'll be awesome
Its a really nice truck. Cheers Kelvin
Great Conversion! 1KD-FTV is the biggest joke of a motor on the planet! Fancy a blown piston whilst stuck in the middel of nowhere anyone!
The Kd is a lot like some of my mates on Friday night - pissed n broke. Haha.
Fantastic work, it's an option toyota should have bought out! One company loss is your gain.
I agree. They had the engines and they fit so nicely. Oh well, Ill fill that market. Cheers Kelvin
I have seen some of these cars well pasted 500k with the 3L
Bloody awesome job! I love the fact you try and keep it factory look. Real quality workma ship.
Have you looked at doing the same conversio s on the N80 (next model hilux)? I ask cause Im thinking of a similar conversion.
Pretty much the same job on the N80. Few more electronics to sort on the newer model but lovely truck to convert. Cheers
Love your work mate. Looks and sounds perfect. I have a rhd converted 2011 Tundra with the 3UR-FE, nsw, Aus. Great U series engines. Would you be able to swap a 3UR into a Hilux or 79 series cruiser?
I would like this in my 60 series
3uz is a minimum for a 6 series. I prefer a 2uz or a LS series engine. Cheers Kelvin
The love makes them taste better lol
Sure does. They are nearly ready for the freezer now. Not sure that will feature in a video though. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ I agree, I raise goats here in Jamaica. Cheers
@@HotHeadCJ we have a few goats on the farm too.
we get the 2kd in latin america and i know of alot from the beginning of this model year now running 500k km plus. ive got a 2kd ive been thinking of doing the 5.7 v8 swap on
Cool stuff. We just flicked a kd out and fitted 6 litres. Goes better now
Nice work, Kelvin! Are there wool sweaters in your future? I'll be watching the series. At least the other project is an LS and not a Barra.
Unfortunately the wool over here is worth very little so its become compost. I see you have found the first of the series. Cheers Kelvin
👌
cool as
The 3L d4d motor is one of the best and most reliable toyota motors ever built.service her every 10 000km and she will give you 500-700 000km with ease.
Many that we see haven't been serviced correctly and often the have had silly power adding boxes fitted which kills kd engines really fast.
That’s great will you fix a complete set up with engine mounts and transmission mount ECU for a conversion to put in to an FJ cruiser stick shift and how much it will be
no plans on doing a kit for the FJ cruiser at this point as not common in NZ. My universal mount kitset is likely going to work well for engine mounts though. Cheers Kelvin
Hi there thanks for the info appreciated it...will it work on my d4d 1kd 3l ?
Great job. That said, I'd really appreciate a rough idea of cost excluding motor.
Are you interested in sharing that?
This complete job, including engine, body lift, and repairs required for wof and cert was around $32k nzd. Engine was about $3k of that before it was prepared.
Hey, do 1uz non vvti pre 94 rods directly drop into a 1uz vvti? Love your stuff keep it up
yes. Cheers Kelvin
Hey man, love all your videos and what you guys do with the uz engines! I have a 97 sc400 and was wondering what do you recommend doing to it engine size to get good power while still being reliable im relatively new with modifying cars and would love advice. Also curious what parts I’d need to do a 3uzfe swap into my sc400 any help would be very appreciated thank you
Fuel definitely rail and pump, air intake, chip and tune if it’s in your budget
I've got a 05 hilux with 370k on it
COOOOL Would this work for a left hand steered model?
Yes. Same stuff, Steering wheel on the other side. Cheers Kelvin
hey bro just Wondering a rough pricing to get a 2wd 2013 hilux done
What is the top speed with the 3uz in a hilux???????
Pro tip-never step on it up a hill on its last gear the torque will strip the gewr even faster with towing
The owner of this ute has abused it beyond most normal drivers and so far his gearbox has survived, including many hard accelerations from low speed up big hills.
Hi can it work in a defender 110
My 150 prado 1kd auto just cracked its piston, $12k later I’ve got A new 1kd but still have dramas with the EGR, should have done a 3UZ
ok. I would be reflashing the ECU to remove the EGR. No more egr dramas. Cheers Kelvin
Hi mate awesome vid with some great info, what v8 would you recommend for a automatic 2008 KUN26R Hilux? Cheers
Mainly 3uz we recommend however I have other plans for my own kun hilux this year.
Ok thanks for the advice mate
Is that Heat Gauge normal? Asking as im from SA
Yes, normal temp gauge.
What can I do to make my 2uzfe better brother can you point me in the right direction appreciate it
Hey mate love your work! Been looking for a while to an alternate to have a V8 hilux! I have a manual 2012 diesel hilux. And wanting to do the conversion! Any chance you can let me know where to get all the parts to convert it over? Cheers mate appreciate it!
I’m in Australia also
I have and sell the parts. Cheers Kelvin
In NZ I know emission laws are much different down there, but is there any laws or guidelines you have to follow for it to be street legal? In the US putting a car engine into a truck is a huge red flag and would not be street legal in many of the States and cities. Very clean swap BTW looks very factory fantastic job .
Yes , Any modified vehicle requires an additional check but a suitably qualified person to confirm the mods are safe. We call this a Low volume Certification (LVV). This then gives the vehicle a special plate which at the yearly or half yearly Warrant of fitness checks its confirmed the vehicle has an LVV.
How much would it set you back roughly mate? I've been thinking about V8 swaps in my Hilux but never thought of a 3uz🤔
This job was around the $30k nzd mark, drive in (well it came on a trailer) and drive out.
How does the manual transmission work on the new engine?
Or is it swapped with an auto?
We used the R151f from this hilux, works great.
hi Mate, im looking at doing a ls swap in to my 1kd hilux just wanted to ask being a diesel tank how were able to keep the same standard tank with a petrol engine obviously, and what was involved in doing so cheers
The diesel fuel tank and the petrol fuel tank are the same. Just the sender unit is different , and I'm pretty sure we covered the swap from petrol to diesel is covered in the series , and I'm pretty sure its covered again with the LS2 swap into the 2014 hilux videos which are about to come out. Look out for that one. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ thanks mate 👍👍
Brilliant!! How much would something like this cost?
In nzd between $30-35k.
Hi, where you buy the belt hous v8 tu a manuel gearbox bro?
Yes, from me, I have them in stock. Cheers Kelvin
I have a Lexus gs300 2007 with a blow engine I just found and buy a 3uz because the price for 3gr fse is much higher for the 3uz price, I will try to make the swap but the 3uz was without gearbox because is broke, the ls430 3uz have a761e and my gs300 have a960e, for what I see is almost the same housing gearbox, and I can buy from the junkyard the ls430 bell housing you have some info if I can make it work tnx 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻hope you understand my English 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
I understand fine. This is an advanced job and personally I'd be fitting complete LS430 transmission to simplify the wiring and making ecu more compatible
@@CartuneNZ hi, at the moment I don't have enough money to buy the gearbox for the 3uz model, now I only have money for the 3uz engine or 3gr fse the original engine, for this reason I wanted to know if I can use the 3gr gearbox for 3uz, I don't have enough money to buy the 3uz gearbox tnx 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Would the 3uz fit in all models of the Hilux smoothly. ?
yes. UZ family are very interchangable. Cheers Kelvin
Hi Kelvin, looks and sounds good as usual. Great work.
I'd your to do one, what auto would you run ?
Cheers Gavin
Im going to be going my own , in auto with a 4L60 transmission. If using the UZ we are sorting adaptors to the 5 speed VVti auto trans. Cheers Kelvin
@@CartuneNZ by the 5 speed is that the A650 ?
@@sydneymowerandautomotivece4319 correct. A650.
@@CartuneNZ that would be nice, been looking for one
Will this conversion suit 2005 sr kun26 ? Thanks
Yes, its pretty much the same for kun26 from 2005 to 2015. Cheers Kelvin
How does it go with the V8, the 0-100?
didnt do 0-100 but its much faster than with the old diesel
Great conversion mate! What's approx cost for same conversion? Cheers!
around $30k nzd.
@@CartuneNZ is that $30k including the v8 engine?
Can 3uz fits inside of a 2012 amarok
Should do. Cheers Kelvin
What part of New Zealand are you in?
Between Tirau and Rotorua.
How to make your stock gauges work
Making stock gauges is easy. I cover this more in my paid for wiring instructions for this model truck. Cheers
Hi .lovely work with the conversion..I have a hilux 2.7 vvti with a similar set up..my radiator fan is too small..what's the best fan I can use ..also is it normal for the engine to cut power on hard acceleration
Does it get hot with normal driving when the fan shouldnt be working? Best fans are Spal or Derale dual speed. The engine should never cut power on hard acceleration. Cheers Kelvin
Nice one can I get that engine for how much
Hi I'm looking at doing this to my 2005 Toyota hillux do to sell the engine mount kit etc ?
Yes , We use our own weld together kitset which features in the conversion series. We generally keep them in stock. Cheers
How much did this conversion cost as im interested in getting my ute done
This one was about $32k I think all up for the engine swap
Just wondering, I have a2003 Hilux 4x4 3.4 . As is can't fault, but I want a v8 in it. Heard some horror stories. Was thinking 1uz overhauled to new ish . Or 2uz or 3uz if compatible. Waning it to be the same as is now, with of course, new diff etc and all else working perfectly like it is now, no problems at all. I know this sounds somewhat rhetorical. Just wanted you opinion ? I really don't want to spend 120,000 to bring a 76 to the way I want it.
I have examples of 2003 with 3uz. Done correctly they are much nicer than the 3.4 v6. Some principles apply as in this video too. Cheers
@@CartuneNZ Ok, just saw the 2003 vid, nice.
Howzit mate
What is the fuel consumption on a beast like this. I'd like to convert mine
Normal driving about 15-16 litre/100km. Driven hard more.
Nice job .hows the gas mileage.
Gas milage is dependant on the drivers right foot. Cruising its pretty good
@@CartuneNZ are u trying to say i have a heavy right foot lol . hahah jk . thanks for reply
Would it work on a 2017 hilux?
Absolutely. Pretty much all the same stuff applies to newer hilux too
Can i put 2016 toyota hilux diesel engine on my 2008 hilux?
It is possible to swap provided everything is sorted correctly. Its more an engine conversion with wiring changes etc required with a lot of work
@@CartuneNZ thank you a lot for the answer
Have you put a V8 diesel in a 120 Prado?
I made a decision years ago to avoid diesels where possible. If you want to try into a prado I recommend getting your tape measure out.
@@CartuneNZ Your suspicions are like mine.
@@tonyday1989 its like an elephant screwing a mouse. Ive done the measurements.
3UZ into 80 series next please!
How about supercharged in a 70 series prado? Its a close as I can get atm.
@@CartuneNZ ooooh yes please
When diesel wasn't enough. Put a V8 in it.
Then if thats not enough add boost. This is how we work
I am interested in knowing what this conversion is worth. Anyone?
This was around $30k all sorted with brakes and a few vehicle related repairs for cert.
@@CartuneNZ Thank you, much appreciated. It is something to highly consider if/when the dreaded piston cracking happens. I’ve no doubt this conversion would drastically change the ute into something where it “should” have been an option from the factory.
Respect.
Please sell me all those 1kd s and 2kd s u r removing
