Pajero Gen 2 Engine Transplant

**beatles** · January 1st, 2005 09:33 PM

I want to change my 4G54(2.6L)Gas Engine with a 4M40 engine. How much would it cost for the whole installation? I want a 4x4 Automatic Transmission.

at least 100k pa ang 4m40 with tranny. I think masyadong mahal. Konti pa lang dumarating. Yung 4d56 nasa 50-60k. One more thing yung mga 2.8 na naka matic around 5 km/liter ang gas consumption!

sir.. my dad's 4m40 2.8 matic.. local version.. does 7-8km/L po... same as my gen2's 4d56...

i dunno why but yung local na 4m40 is really doing 7-8 km/l. Yung JDM version magastos talaga. Ilan ng friends ko nagsabi nito. The worst is a friend doing only 4 km/ltr. Yung big horn ko before was doing 5-6 km/ltr but it's a 3.1L engine na matic.

7-8 km/l is probably pure city driving. i'm contemplating din kasi of changing my engine to 4m40. but i like the manual tranny.

hey beatles, replied to your pm already.

my 4M40 swap was my project in 2001. however, i purposely installed a manual transmission mainly due to personal preference. it has an open type K&N filter and a TurboSmart manual boost controller and analogue boost guage. so far, I'm pretty happy with it as it serves as our daily drive. i'll probably install a water/methanol injection pump in the air induction system which I bought in ebay two years ago.

I'd like to refute this sir Gary... mine does 6+/- km/L in the worst of manila's traffic. Normally 6.8 to 7.2 ang konsumo. Kung sa alabang pa ako nagtatrabaho (highway driven), i think mas matipid ma ito sa 4D56.
