Hi there.I have Surf 1992 with 2400 Turbo Diesel engine. I want to swap the engine, your suggestions are required on which engine should I prefer, petrol or diesel and what power? Thanks in advance.
The best option is to rebuild the current engine as per factory specs. You need expensive parts and a technically competent mechanic. If you want more power (the current engine even if 100% healthcare is pretty weak for a truck this big) then you have a few options. Petrol v6 engines and diesel 4 cylinders. The older v6 engines like the 3400cc consume a lot of fuel. The newer diesels like the 2800cc found in revo and fortuner are very good. Very good torque and amazing fuel economy. You would need an expert to find a healthy engine though
1kzte, 5vz, 3rz, 1hdteThese are some flawless swaps for surf. If you tend to choose any of them & need any help we are Islamabad based
Don't you think 3RZ shall be under - powered and 1HDTE too large for 92' Surf?
1KZ T is better. People usually avoid 'E' due to its electronic injector pump and associated complications during such swaps (usually the inability of our mechanics.)
Well I've done 1kzte swap it was very reliable one. You need to wire it up properly. It's very fuel efficient engine in diesel category
How much n from.where. is it with intercooler or without. What about smoke
Your current engine even if its rebuilt will be too slugish for surf 1992....if you have the budget 5vz or 3vz are good in petrol and in diesel 1kd or 1kz are your best options....3rz's are also too slugish and the fuel consumption isn't good when its swapped but they are good when they come from factory.
Those are all older engines though. 1kd or 1gd if found in good condition are the absolute best
1KZ TE is most suitable of all available options, if swap is properly done.
1gd is a good but a slightly expensive option....
Respected PW members. I am also looking to buy a clean Surf. but I guess I m too late as now the prices are sky rocketing and people asking more ridiculous prices... doubling the profits. I will be grateful if any 1 here can help in pointing out some genuine deal. 1997/ 2001 shape or 2002 onwards in a reasonable price with genuine condition. Regards.
how much do you reckon the price is of the 1GD FTV?, im planning on swapping it in my '93 surf
i know i am very very late but i've seen some '96s listed for 2.3 million
The way engine prices have increased i would say it would be better to buy a dead engine and overhaul it. Overhaul would cost 2-2.5laakh with genuine parts and good mechanic and it would become as good as new.
wait, how much would a running engine cost tho?
7-10 or something in this range.
that is too much..... the 2GR is another option, that thing is quite impressive, and doesn't use that much fuel as well
I am not quoting real rates. Thats just a guess. The 2gr will be more thirsty and may only come in auto. The 1gd can be bought with the 6spd. Autos can be swapped but it can get a finicky. Visit kacha stop for rates in rwp. You will find the proper rates there. Update us on the progress
thanks, i will be selling my rebirth soon so i can upgrade my truck. So yeah it will take some time before i make any updates
guys i have a question, i am planning to completely rebuild my suspension on my 92 surf, what would the price be if i used all oem parts?
or should i go for after market higher performance stuff?
