supercharging a tb42

[YNOT]

mmm. much to think about. my situation is my motor is only ten thousand kms old. A motor swap is too expensive for me.
how hard is it to convert to efi? is it just bolt on things or is it a completely different motor? turbo not a bad idea either

TB42 carby and EFI engines are basically the same but unless you are technically minded and able to do the EFI conversion yourself the cost involved would far out weigh any benefits.
Converting from carby to EFI would involve sourcing and fitting the complete inlet manifold with throttle body, idle up solenoids etc, airflow meter and airbox (good luck finding an airbox in good condition), electronic distributor, wiring loom and relays, high pressure fuel pump, filter and lines, accelerator cable, and probably a few other bits and pieces. It would be cheaper to sell your pre '92 Patrol and buy a post '92 model instead.

Scott, if you are interested in turboing your original engine talk to Darren (Blackers) at TJM Coopers Plains. Last time I spoke to Blackers he was just finishing off and tuning his TB42E turbo.
