And did anything break because of more power?

I bought a Wrangler TJ with a Lexus 1UZ VVTi engin. The conversion was neatly done but there are some shortcomings. I have never driven the TJ I6 so I can't compare the two engines.

I'm on my third crown wheel and pinion in the rear, but I think that is more due to bad setup than extra torque.

My safari doen dit.
Maar dit etter sy regter voor blaaie op. Moes nou set no 3 insit.
Het n 4.2 in my een safari ingebou. Wag nog vir n starter, moet nog laaste bedrading doen, en exhaust.
En dan, hopelik kry ek my ander safari se straight 6 diesel conversion ook klaar die week.
Die ou engine is uit, en diesel start darem al. Moet nou indruk en mounts maak. En alles weer op koppel, en op n manier n intercooler op koppel. Die turbo conversion lyk my was suksesvol.

Met conversions, is dit altyd die klein goedjies wat die kostes op jaag.
Maar dit is daai klein goedjies wat dit n sukses of n flop maak...
R1400 vir die tweetjies

The only conversions I have done was years ago:
If I had the bucks, I'd be sitting with a V10 Viper motor that was recently advertised on Facebook for R150k and thinking of ways to lengthen RooiTjiep's nose ..........
- Replaced a 1900 Opel Manta engine with a 2.0lt from a Rekord - Straight fit, apart from the exhaust downpipe that had to be crafted to miss the steering rod
- Replaced an Isuzu 190D motor in a Fibreglass Jeep CJ replica that I fitted to the shortened Isuzu chassis with a 2.3 Chevair Engine and gearbox
