Topcroc Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Guys, have been told that if an engine is swapped the replacement CANNOT be larger capacity or higher Hp than the one the vehicle was designed for. I have no idea if this is really the case. Perhaps one of you guru's can advise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a major 2nd hand parts engs 1/2 cuts company called xiang gong looks like a big import show. But this is all net research from work.

He works offshore and everything was done whilst he was away so I assume that included updating the book. He is currently away again but i'll ask for more details next I see him.

Bealo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I've always wanted a fortuner with a 1uz engine or possibly even a 2jz gte engine so this thread is a great read, I'd also be interested to hear where Don Mega friend had his work done.
