Please is it possible to buy a Range Rover body and put a sound Toyota Engine on it, I want to have a customized Range/Toyota SUV.

What could be the disadvantage of this move?
I believe with a good team of electricians we can set this up and eliminate common problems of Range Rover in Nigeria such as poor fuel, air bag faults, frequent engine services etc.

. Yes is possible if it can be done on discovery the it can on the range sports check ou the Toyota 1uz-fe engine 4wd automatic in land rover discovery on youtube by the germans

Is it because of the cost of engine that the conversion is needed? Is it by force to drive a range rover?

sooperrescue:
The difference between the price in Cameroon and Nigeria is just 500k. We always advice the owners to get good ones from the US. At 3400usd, it is even cheaper in the US. I was once being towed recently in a 1982 range rover with a Toyota engine and the fuel tank is linked to a Jerry can by the driver's side. That will be the end of the modified version.

See those engines the russians put are v8 see its simple and accept it LR3 cant share the same platform with range sports and if the can put toyota v8 in lr3 they can also put it in the range sports see the video u see the engine pulls very well. The same russians put the 1uz and 3uz in a porche cayenne and i wont even know its not a porsche engine bcuz it pulls so well

Those are Russians, and if you watched the video, you can clearly see it's an LR3, it can take as much abuse as possible.

LR3 has a V6 variant, the Range Rover or Range Rover Sport dont have a V6 variant. Go figure.....

LeJeun3:



You are looking at the cost of the engine alone......

ECU remap??

Transmission

Auxiliary??

BCU downgrade??

Suspension??

Just buy a Toyota

You guys will not kill me the toyata engines first of all are by far more reliable than the range rover engines that and unguys know that even americans put Chevrolet engines into range rovers they are more performant and no one cars whats under ur hood they just wanna see ur car pass and they admire it. You talking y does range rover not make their own gearboxes they rely on the German ZF to make for them

You just here making mouth, the swap kit you are showing us, how many people have bought it?

What's the customer review??

Advice: Prove us wrong, buy and successfully install the Chevrolet engine, then buy XHP and be using inside.

The same way you couldn't maintain a Range Rover engine, same way the Chevy will give way.

Bros gently gently. This guy will buy the engine. He is determined. We know where all the muranos went to when they converted to Toyota engines, all the freelanders. And all those that converted their air suspension to springs. Na owode get them

Great, i'm currently exploring this option. Everything is possible with an experienced team who can put an engine in place and other requirements.

Last year december, a friend of mine who owns a 2013 Range rover wept in front of me after his Range rover developed unknown faults. He had to park the machine and start entering toyota. All the mechanics we called came and tried but none could fix it, at some point they were using the Range rover to learn work. We had to abandon the Range and wait two weeks for the available expert.

I would really like to do this conversion to enjoy the ride better, it will not only save money, it will last longer if done well. Americans do it as you may see on pimpp my ride.

When you pull up your car, nobody knows what's in the engine and even if they know they neither won't believe it nor they won't be concerned. At the end of the day it works for the car owner.

erico2k2:

quick question, why not buy a toyota in teh 1st instance, beside, there is nothing like unknown fault in an Engine, worse seenerio, U buy a new Engine.If we ask you friend waht Engine Oil he was using now Im sure we all will fall down laughing.

sooperrescue:
You have given the answer. Did he ever use 0w20 or his mechanic used Oando for him. Let anyone who knows anyone with a chevrolet suv tell us how they have been enjoying their ride in Nigeria. Then we will think of the possibility of a successful engine transplant.. Watch my show on autoexpat on sunday at 7pm on mitv on dstv chan 255 where we are giving little info on oils. If your car manufacturer says use a particular oil, please do so.
