3.0lt GU Patrols - Grenade Facts

[OFFIGO]

Hi my 3ltr went bang and am looking to convert it to a 4.2td. The GU 4.2TD is way out of my price range so just windering if anyone has put a GQ 4.2TD motor into a GU. I have heard that the GQ motors are great just wondering if its worth putting 1 in my GU though? Any info would be great thanks

Pretty sure legalities of this are not good, you cant put an older engine into a newer car. You can only go the other way around...

Something to look into if going this path.

You need to match the year or better, its all to do with pollution

Also Toyota are having problems with the new Hi lux diesel Blowing up. Very hush hush but blow up they do
due to faulty washers on the injectors. 100s tojos front end snapping off, new V8 diesel drinking way too much oil.
My 4x4 is MAY 04 GU S3 build nearly done 200K only one problem that was my fault, now its nadded so expect
another 200k out of it

Very true my 07 hilux blew up at 160k never missed a service they said I hadn't been servicing it. Then after my mates did the same we looked into it and found out heaps had failed they just keeping it quiet. Unbreakable my ass

Late reply but anyway.... I will bet all those MAFs are fine..Its just an overboosting issue caused from the blocked EGR. Easily fixed with a Dawes and needle valve mate.

Besides all the normal NADS work I still suspect there are issues with the glow plugs with the ZD30 Di engine.

Besides all other things, e.g. EGR blocks, etc., I still suspect the life of the glow plug has some limiting issues and hence the need with the ZD 30 Di engine to include the extra/additional glow plug timer and also consider physically looking at these somewhere between 50K to 80k with the deliberate intent of replacing them at that point. That is every 50 – 80k have them physically check and if they are crazing toss them and replace.
