i have a 3y engine in my lux and i want to get more performance out of it possibly 120kw which is almost double wat it has at the moment is this going to be possible. the reason i ask is that i dont have the time to take my truck off the road for along period of time to do a conversion nor do i have the cash

I had 1986 hilux with a 3Y (AKA: the Ghetto Lux.) had a whopping 90hp at the crank, which equates to about 67kW at the fly, thus <45RWkW. However I maintain it's not how much power you've got, it's how much power your prepaied to use. Note: when driving through the hills it'd get past 65km/h in 2nd before I'd go looking for 3rd, and past 95km/h before grabbing fourth. While that's not much for a performance car, I think l01ux can aprecitate how hard that's working the poor 3y.
There are no bolt on mods in my mind that'll get that motor up to 120kW. However a new carbi, exhaust system and let it rev to 7,000RPM+ and you never know what'll happen.
however money would be better spent on a 1G-GTE.

P.S: I once to had dreams of modding a 3Y, they were quickly layed to rest with the purchase of a GT4.
