Hi all, new member and new owner of a hilux, apologies i wasnt sure whether to post this here or in technical, please move if needed.
So i just bought an 08 hilux 2.7 non turbo, i use it for work and tow a trailer daily with a ride on and what not, its lacking a little power, especially mid to higher rpm, i think 10-20kw would do it which i dont think is hard to achieve.
My question is, what are the cheapest and least detrimental to the engine to get this? what have you done to yours?
i was thinking of doing the thermo fan conversion which might help the higher rpm, and opening up the exhaust a little for the same reason, any other ideas? someone suggest a chip? are these risky?
Also, i see turbo kits, are these hiluxes the same as the turbo models? (Diff, gearbox, engine etc)? Can you simply put a turbo kit on it or are the components not strong enough for it?
Cheers!
