guys, i have been off the ball for a while now with so much work and SOB!!!! not 1 toyota in the house after having 4 at one time and owning about 8 in the last ~2 years in our house.
That said
I am looking into a mates conversion and us toyota people being the "smartest" i will ask here rather than at a ford site.
He has a Ford XF carby 6cyl. Can we :
a) make it EFI (as the XF also came out EFI)
b) make it aftermarket EFI as it was carby.?
I understood you can only put a engine in the same or better. eg no old V8. Or maybe he can as its a carby engined XF?
A aftermarket EFI cengine would be better than a carby engine true? therfore is this "non engineerable"
Are any config above ok without engineering?
Can this be ran on Aftermarket EFI in any configeration legaly if not then he will not be able to Turbo it legaly and hence will need to build the engine high comp / cams etc, rather than low comp for a latter turbo / Aftermarket computer
Secondly, once we can get it EFI'd and legaly (hopfully aftermarket EFI) then...
We might look at putting a skyline turbo into his ute for something to do. If we use a EFI XF Engine.(low boost and or new low comp pistons, i think the EFI engine is low comp any how)
With this said NO Flamage, I know as we all do its a ford and a crappy engine a toyota swap would be better but its not my car so this is his request. I am only involved because i want to play with cars but not the expence
He wants to steer clear of engineering it. The turbo will blow that out of the water
