newbie dropping in
gidday from new zealand.
Im Jase, im 17 and i have brought myself a 1988 toyota hilux surf with a series 2 vn commy engine.
the engines making a few weird noises, but the old owner put it thru hell and back so the next project will be putting a new low milage v6 in there.
iv been doing a little research and i found a post on another form about removing a spacer or something from the intake manifold, where is this spacer?
just fort i would introduce myself and tell ya what ive got and what im wanting to do with it.
Cheers

will be the bellmouth in the intake between the elbow with the throttlebody on and the actual manifold plenum with the 3800 written on it black plastic funnel type looking thing bin it LOL.what sort of noise does the engine have.and welcome along a few of us kiwis on here what area you in
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong

Just leave the bellmouth in, as has been said on here heaps of times, removing it does **** all, it's there for a reason, to evenly distribute air to all 6 cylinders, removing it will lean out the 2 rear cylinders.
I didn't think a Buick V6 would be any good in a Hilux Surf, didn't they come out with turbo diesel engines?

im from rotorua s#*t house of nz lol.
ive taken it out and i noticed that it has actualy lost power?. so im going to put it bak in and see if its just me.
welcome.......
At the end of the day its not about the money its about how you want it and were u wanna stop, i mean i could have just tinted windows put kit and chrome wheels on the car and lowered it and started a thread if thats what you all wanted but i love cars i love the feeling u get when ppl say mate u done a great job on this thing now that feeling is the very exact reason ill do it again on another car i enjoy any part i can play in the build and i def enjoy driving it
some of thee surfs came out with 2.4tds some came out with 2l and 2.4 petrol's. but this one has had a v6 buick transplant, they are supoes to be one of the best splants for the surfs.
the noise is more of a ticking noise. then wen it warms up it gets worse.

you didnt forget to connect any hoses normally you wont loose any power LOL well not unless the car has issues of another nature
