Best diesel engine for 92 tamaraw fx

**x-wind** · November 15th, 2004 06:14 PM

before may mega taxi ako fx standard with c190 makina swak na swak yun modify lang yun transmission, engine support and oil pan. yakang yaka ng makina yun body ng fx kayang pag hampasan sa star hway wag lang paakyat hirap sya dahil sa differential ng fx is high speed yata kaya nag palit me ng low speed.

thanks...sakin ata eh low speed ang transmission ko pero gusto ko high speed. tinging ko mukhang viable option ang 2ct kasi bolt on and toyota .... matipid kaya yun sa diesel?

Yung sinasabing disposable sa 2C engines yung picha, or spacers para sa valve clearance. But I sure did dispose our 2C engine with the vehicle. :D Mahina kasi ang power band.

I strongly suggest you don't modify any existing suspension part. Better if you just sell the vehicle and look for a coil sprung one.

way back in 98. nag-change engine kami ng FX

yung "L" engine noon was too big and baka di kayanin nung front suspension (plus we wanted to avoid changing the radiator)

We decided to use a 2C engine na Japan surplus.

It looked very different from the 2C engine na ginamit sa local FX.

back 5 years ago i saw an ad on OLX selling a 2L swapped FX in Baguio city. The owner modified the engine bay firewall to make the 2L engine fit inside. L series engine swap is possible without modifying the front suspension. FX uses a front suspension similar to the 1980s 4x2 Hilux.

yup. kaso masyadong mahaba.

plus change in radiator (larger engine)

Another benefit of the Japanese 2C (if I remember correctly), adjustable yung valve clearance nya. unlike the local 2C

you also have to consider that we're talking about a 25 year old car.

Yung sa adjustable valve clearance is it sa turbo 2CT lang or sa non turbo JDM 2C engine?
