Better off selling it and buying a factory turbo R34.

Went for a R33 engine as one guy told me its better goin that way then gettin r34gtt coz of neo head.. when modded may have some troubles...

What a crock.

So i got a r33 series 2 engine but no arrived yet maybe late next week...

Should have asked us first. :(

So anyways another guy told me neo was better because of head has more flow and neo wouldn't have anything wrong or hard to overcome when modded... Made me feel like crap.. Bast!@#$...

It has larger exhaust valves and solid lifters.

So anyways besides my story part of the topic... Any help on if this will work??? Coz of electronics... dash lights aircon stuff liike that? ohmy.gif Guess its too late i already bought it but still... wouldn't mind any feedbacks =]

It will be a massive head f**k to get it to work. You will probably need an R33 ECU and loom. It will take many many hours and plenty of autoelectrics knowledge which you don't have.

Sell both the engine and the car and buy a factory turbo R34. If you think you will mod it, get one with some mods already done. Big money saving there.

Agreed. Could you have made that harder to read bob?

Sell the 33 engine and get a 34 one. Once you see the prices they go for, you'll probably see why it's worth selling your NA and getting a turbo model outright

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
