i wanted to install 1gr-fe in my 70 series engine guy said she has too much complicated wiring and functions it will not run smooth

What did u end up installing?
Indeed 1gr is complicated and also the gear, diffs etc have to be changed. A long process.
Whats the best option in petrol engine?

i ended up with 1fz-fe i think 1fz-fe is better choice then 1gr with low end torque but with 1gr you will get a 5spd auto
with 1gr swap you will end up in sum like 700k 1fz will cost you around 500k engine gear wiring fuel tank pump etc no need to change the diffs army auction already has 3.7 diff ratio with factory 32 inch tyres unless you go to 35 inch tyres you need 4.1 diff ratio.
as far as best option is concerned what is your basic requirement how will you use your 4x4 daily driver? light offroad? heavy offroad? bigger tyres and suspension? towing?

The cheapest Petrol option u will get is 3y or 4y but ur j70 will become very slow after that

So my mechanic kept telling me that the 4.5 is too large for Prado engine bay but fits OK in Rkr.
However since you have installed it, then I will for sure look in to it again. Can you pls whatsaap some pics of the installed engine?
My application is both on road and off road.

Haven't heard of these before.

which 70 series you have?

These are actually old hiace engines.....4y is usually available as it comes in Toyota forklift still.....it's carb ohv 2.2l engine
.....3y is 2.0 engine...but again I say they are mule engines......not for off-road stuff......fz-fe is good option.....one of my friend swapped 2jz-ge but it was very dangerous setup as power was uncontrollable as compared to physics ofvsuv

New 70series comes with 1 gr and if money is no problem I believe it’s possible if you get a half cut of 70 series with 1 gr engine

if Diesel is an option, do look into 1KD and its numbers of torque, power n mpg. A bit of tuning can make it more powerful. If 1KZ is being replaced, it might be a bolt on or close to bolt on option. It has the history for injectors/nozzles issue but thats pretty late in life.

Not sure if our mechanics can reliably work out Petrol conversions other than 5vz, 1uz.
Any ideas on 2uz or 3uz?
