Surely getting the 2.2 remapped would be a much better option.
unless you have lots of spare cash laying around for a transplant.

Definitely a remap is cheaper option then rebuilding and boring
But I'm not sure a transplant would be cheaper. Also if you could
increase bore size then you can still work with the current setup you
have outside of new pistons to cater for increased bore and a re tune. You may need new injectors possibly and fuel pump , fuel rail etc if the standard ones aren't up to the task, then the $$ will begin to mount up but, the unknowns of a transplant screams $$$ IMO.
As I said speaking to a fellow who did this to his 3L Hilux, it seemed like a simple solution for the lack of displacement the 2.2 has and with no issues of making it all fit and work that a transplant creates.
Deisel engines are new to me so it probably is never that simple.
FYI, I got the traction control going three times on the dry bitumen while 'running some errands' this morning (bought a new UHF!).
I ain't saying its a powerhouse, I'm just saying that it was in third gear every time and Canberra has a lot of roundabouts :twisted:
You need an ATB in the front diff

I swear to god I don't see many of them doing the speed limit around
town.
Jelly much.

Hmmm, FJ drivers are good value - a few friends and I (half jokingly) use them as the threshold to determine whether a campsite/pub/bakery is a bit lah-dee-Dahl - i.e. if there's an FJ there, you know what your getting yourself into.Quote:

I reckon you might give them a nudge in an unladen defender that's had some tweaks, but rowing through the six speed will probably mean they win the day :(
