Cracka's white boy shitbox Gen 3 Liberty. TT V6 wouldn't fit so now V12.

[JZK25]

I sold all my TT Vq shit to Cracka when he was drunk and cashed up with fitment to his Gen 3 liberty sedan as part of the deal. I needed cash for the Crown's billion $ body resto and Cracka has lots so I swindled it out of him.

Finally rolled it into the home shed on thursday and started pulling the melted subaru engine out. Dropped it completely out on saturday and dropped the Vq in but it wouldn't fit because it is the tallest engine ever built. I cut the fuck out of the sump and it still wouldn't fit. I cut the eyeballs out of the Xmember and it still wouldn't fit under the bonnet, like by about 100mm. I put it down to the gay way subaru have built there Xmember. It seems they buill it to fit subaru engines rather than nissan V6's.

I thought I'd throw the V12 in there for laughs and it fitted better than the stupid V6. So then I rang Cracka and told him he needed a V12 instead and he said whatever, as long as it skids.

So Face came down today and we figured out a Xmember/rack mounting modification that would have the least impact on steering geometry and allow the engine to fit.


Proof that the bonnet shuts.



Proof that it opens.



Acres of space in there, the std headers will even fit with a bit of fettling.







Need a bellhousing and T56 now.

Fuck. Yes.

Ken Oath!!

[ferdie]

and i thought i was the only one who was think kind of stupid....

[irsa76]

EPIC!
Problem is I'm not sure if this is serious or something you blokes did for a giggle after a brewskie or 5.

That describes most of the conversions I do with/for mates.

[crack]

oooh yeah, that makes me happy in the pants. fucken A+++.

[Gammaboy]

Mr Plow?

No more frontal weight than a subaru engine. It's an all alloy V12 with less than half of it's weight forward of the Xmember vs a subaru engine which has all of it's weight forward of the Xmember.

I will have to cancel the entry to timeattack.

[Tirlista]

what gearbox will be used?

[tremolo]

Holy fuck! So this is a Toyota V12 yeah? Out of a Century/Crown or some other Japanese VIP barge?

[number8]

as you say, its a good thing cracka has lots of cash, that means he can afford to ditch the intake and ex manifolds and get a proper plenum made, like your last effort on the 1uz-t ute .. top stuff

whats the qld rego on a v12 these days?

[Cracka]

If I had lots of cash it wouldnt be a 12 year old liberty shitbox my sister in law likes to crash and blow up. Its just a replacement engine to get it back on the road.

[Sketchy]

Finish this or ban.

[UZZ31]

This is so PF its not funny

Its so off the wall, If you actually get this to work you.. i dunno ill have your babies or something

[JZK25]

It's a practical conversion in my view. It fits without much hassle, it's legal, it's torquey and sounds good. Car is well built, not so old that it is like TT's R32 or Cop's S13, has easy handling and brake upgrades, S14 R200 diff fits easily, it looks like nana's car, it's white so is easy to clean, it has a mod plate for something already so Cracka can lie and say it is engineered.

[darwinschops]

my favourite part's the balancer braced engine mount. and the 1gz-fe. this is about the best damn solution for boxerphobia seen yet.

How dare you knock my 21 year old, $2426 awesome automobile!!!!
apart from the rust and bandaid fix, there is nothing wrong with it


Edit - I want to see this conversoin done.

i like that you make it sound like its the only smart thing to do.
you use the force as well? oh wait, fuck...

[GSRman]

so are the turbos going to be low mounted with a scavenge pump?

[darwinschops]

so are the turbos going to be low mounted with a scavenge pump?

lots of people have told me it's a good idea! but in the theme of these things being turbo in good form and the VQ being a DET, not a bad idea reckon...

[stockymcstock]

nice work lads. multiple layers of stupidity upon one another. perfect.

[MRMOPARMAN]

you cunts are fucking nuts on an epic scale!

*subscribes*

[Cracka]

Al is my publicist.

[JZK25]

Turbos will have to wait til mod plate. There really is a whole lot of room for turbos, like decent sized ones, twin GT3076's perhaps. The factory headers will fit ok in the interim though til Cracka gets sick of NA.

[mx_paul]

Liking this a lot nice plan B Al.

You have to be prepared for this sort of thing, it happens. I need an LS1 in the shed as well.

[TMM]

This is relevant to my interests.

[Gammaboy]

Al, this is what I meant in the other thread

[Justengt4]

Al, this is what I meant in the other thread

Now where have i seen this before?

Just keep the boost lowish on the V12 as it has the skinny 'scourge of modern toyota's' rods and they would be getting suss over 10-12psi i reckon. Still, 5 litres of V12 on 10psi will still chuck epic skidz
