G'day all,
Im the proud owner of a 2002 1hzzzz Lc105 std wagon. Im looking to do an engine power up and after much research on bolting on a turbo, (Vehicle done 37,000) was at the wreckers looking at some seats, and after seeing a one year old GXL TD 100, started to think... What if I bought engine from a wrecked TD100 with 151 Kw turbo deisel, and bolted that in instead???

Anyone researched/ done this one ?? wondering about will it fit, gearbox ratio's diff ratio's radiator size, engine management etc???

I'm considering this because it will be a factory engine turbo instead of the worry of blowing the 1hzzzz, and will be 151 Kw, newer technology, as apposed to 120 or so Kw the turboed 1hz would be.

Anything else I should consider?? Looking at ball park of 10,000 for the new motor, with about a 4 grand trade in on the 1hz with 37,000 on the clock.

What do you reckon???

Jarrod.
