Thread: CAN YOU INCREASE BORE/STROKE ON THE PUMA FOR MORE GRUNT??

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

You need an ATB in the front diff

Already running one!

Then you need to drive slower

Probably right - but you need to stop the carbon from building up every now and then...

You certainly have my attention. Maybe with a tune I can at least try and
hang with those FJ drivers who seem to think they are in race cars then in a 4wd.

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

Jelly much.
