comments on the old land cruisers

[ECG]

okay sir.

[quindoyos]

special thanks to Benedict of ABC Motorparts from the other board for helping me repair the waterpump of my BJ40.

i do hope the weather stays fair so the painting can be done na.

ngeks, hindi pa na paint? ang tagal mo ng binili ang paints mo sir Q

i figured unahin muna yung reverse shackles and power steering conversion before the finishing touches. sana tuloy tuloy na ang init!

[ECG]

di ba bagong paint palang ang BJ40 mo?

the paint i bought from kimpOy's store is the one being used to paint the BJ40 to replace the old paint it had.

after the conversions, i had it stripped to metal, the underchassis brushed to remove all possible rust. however, 4 storms hit the country and it's delaying the progress.

i'm also planning to have it rewired completely before i bring it to SFP for installation of an a/c.

If I ever get one myself, I'd like it restored with the original 2.8 liter inline 6 gasoline engine. Problem is there might be no sufficient market support for the spare parts on that engine (dont even know the series number--together with the bigger 4.3 liter option). Using the current 100 Series' 4.7 liter V8 should be costly enough to be impractical. Might as well look for a late-80s Series 100 and restore that instead.

Calcite's experience is also something worth considering when driving it at high enough speeds. I remember seeing them being driven fast most of the time-- perhaps because of the engine's characteristic smooth and quiet operation and the ample power it produced (135 hp for the 2.8 liter, and 179 for the 4.3 liter). Nowadays, a properly restored unit would probably return an average of 5 km/li for the 2.8, and 3.5 km/li for the 4.3.

are you referring to the FJ40 with 2F engine?
alam ko kasi 6 cylinder, 4.2ltr yun.

[ebbfolls]

I don't know what the engine series number is, but I do recall seeing a 2.8 in person, and a 4.3(or was that a 4.2) advertised engine option. I also recall there were 2 different body styles--one had a 2-piece 'barn door', and the other had a 3-piece door with a lifting window (not a tailgate). The one with the barn door also had square headlight fascia (and usually had either a diesel or the 4.2 gas) as opposed to the more common (here in the Phils) rounded one. I think the 4.2 was also a later model (mid-70's maybe), compared to the 60's FJ-40.

barn doors are more commonly known as the ambulance type doors, i think.

yup, 2F is 4.2 engine used 75 -87 as shown in the table below.
a real gas guzzler but with power when you need it.

i'll settle for my B engine.

Toyota Engines

The problem with B engines is that it only has a 4 speed transmission.

[ECG]

some later models have 5 speed transmission, with 3B engines
i use 2B with 4 speed transmission and dont find it as a problem even in expressway
i run up to 100kph.

sir, i personally don't find any problem with the toyota B's 4 speed transmission. Yup, as Edwin said, you can reach up to 100kph in the expressway but i really dont want to drive that fast especially with the power steering conversion done on my 40. mapakagaan na ng manibela maski di umaandar, lalo na kung umaandar.

[Panzer]

Oks nga sha nakakatakbo ng 100kph. pero yung makina naman super galit na nun... Ehhh yung cruiser ko kelangan nang palitan ng exhaust system kasi sa sobrang init yung pipe nabubutas na. Kelangan narin palitan ng piston ring kasi malakas na ang blow-by nya. Mas oks yung H engines may 5 speed... at least pag mga takbong 90 nde nabibirit yung makina. Yung 3b oks ba? Pwede daw lagyan ng turbo yung 3b. sa tingin nyo sasakto kaya yung mga turbo ng mga hilux dun sa 3b? Salamat....

[ECG]

i dont think LC40s are made to run 100kph above or highway use
its usefulness can be more appreciated on rural areas, unpaved road.

definitely, newer engines with 6 cyclinders like the H engines are better.

as i said i dont drive the land cruiser at sustained speeds of 100kph because aside from safety reasons, it isnt practical to do so.

dalawa yata variant ng 3B, the in line and rotary.

how about just using the whole engine from the hilux rather than fitting a turbo from a hilux to a 3B?

Mas malakas ang 3B(3400cc diesel) kesa 3L(2800cc diesel)

[quindoyos]

what do you mean mas malakas sir? attaining max power at lower revs?

3B BHP is 93 at 3500 (3431cc)
3L BHP is 90 at 4000 (2779cc)

if you add a turbo on the 3B, if possible and practicable, how many HPs will you gain kaya? :confused:

[ECG]

lagyan mo nalang ng 1HZ.

Maraming salamat po sa page. Very informative.
