Get another hilux engine same model etc and hopefully same engine mounts etc wiring looms look worse then they ar always but if its a case where you have to take out the dash etc leave well alone..... id say the swap from another jeep to the hilux doesnt sound half bad but will be way more work then just a wiring loom... Hope this helps you some what on your quest for power ..... ps.. why not get her chiped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps you some what on your quest for power ..... ps.. why not get her chiped? to add a turbo you need to lower the compression this can be done by adding a thicker head gasket if i rebuilt the engine then i would more than likley change the pistons and grind the cranck ect the motor is 1993 so unable to chip as it has no ecu the new d4d is a complete nightnmare to swap it would be easier to change motors i know anything is possible i was just wondering wether any one had swapped to a different type of motor as old hilux to new hilux engine swaps are not that simple i understand all about wiring looms and engines as i work as a mechanical fitter like i said other 4x4s do have a lot easier ancilleries just asking a question cheers anyway mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
