Hello house, I want to change my Toyota highlander engine from V6 to l4. Please I want to know if there are any dangers involved in doing so? |

Jethrolite:Follow honmusa... He can do it. But why do you wanna do such a thing? |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 12:04pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
angels09:Fuel consumption, I've been averaging 40k monthly on fuel. Cc: honmusa |

Jethrolite:Just sell the car and get a corolla. If you are sure that car is functioning well. BTW what is your monthly cruise like to warrant 40k fuel

angels09:I bought the car in January, a very good buy, no problem at all to date. I don't really measure but I get 10k fuel weekly. There are barely no roads in my town, driving a low car is just trouble. |

GAZZUZZ:Wow, I was planning on swapping my current engine and adding a little change. This quotation is not friendly at all. |

Jethrolite: Wrong move. Better sell your highlander and look for a smaller car to buy. 1 Like |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by uboma(m): 12:35pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite: Buying 10k on a weekly basis is not too bad for your spec of Toyota Highlanger V6 |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 12:58pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
uboma:I actually spent alot upgrading the car, I feel I will be short changed selling it. Business is no longer like before, things have slowed down and I feel like I'm just wasting money. You can see the upgrades I did to the tyres and wheels, also installed reverse camera, zenon headlights and audio woofer. |

Jethrolite: your engine is most likely not running optimal. the difference between both engines is so small, but if the small engine is also not running optimal it will consume more fuel trying to overcome wind resistance and the weight of the car 4 Likes |

@op, first question is what distance in KM do you cover weekly. This will tell if your car actually consumes too much fuel or not. Also, is your check engine light on? |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by uboma(m): 1:19pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite: my point is, sell your Highlander as it is and get a smaller car of your choice. you will spend a lot converting this car to a V4 and worse still, it may still not perform optimally.... Your choice remains exclusively yours to make though |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 1:34pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ:Please is there a way to make it optimal? |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 1:35pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Ok |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 1:38pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
uboma:You're right, seeing the list up there I think I'll just sell and get a corolla. My dealer asked me to bring the car in tomorrow for inspection and appraisal. Let me just sell and get a 1.8 litre car. |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by uboma(m): 1:54pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite: Noted! I hope you will derive pleasure driving the 1.8 litre engine powered car. |

GAZZUZZ: Boss How much is the 2az engine alone now? |

uboma:Lol, there won't be any pleasure, just getting from point A to B. When I'm on the highway with this car only V8 cars can show off. |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Nobody: 9:15pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite:Prepare 130k find Gazzuzz go for a tune up. But if na conversion he won't do it. Find mazdaenginepart |

angels09:I want to sell as is, I don't want to worsen the situation of the car then sell if it doesn't work. I actually drive around alot and in the end I don't think the engine really consumes fuel, the next time I fill the tank I'll calculate the distance it carried me and compare to manufacturer's suggestion. Thanks for the suggestion though. Gazzuz is also in Lagos, I actually know that college road but I'm currently in Delta state, Lagos is too tedious. |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 9:27pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
GAZZUZZ:Lol, welcome sir. Is there a way you can actually help the situation or is it that I'm just judging the car wrongly? |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Nobody: 9:35pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite:Well if you really love your car Lagos is not far. |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 9:50pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
angels09:Wow, I tell you, Lagos is far. I don't even have a place there anymore, I'll now have to lodge hotel or something. Thanks for your care, you sound a lot like Detola. |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Nobody: 9:53pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
Jethrolite:Drop off and let Gazzuzz return it |
Re: I Want To Change My 2003 Toyota Highlander Engine by Jethrolite(m): 10:00pm On Aug 27, 2017 |
angels09:I don't have that kind of trust. |

Jethrolite:Ok. |

It's not worth it. U ll regret it after doing it. D car will loose Power & will not perform optimally. Just sell it as it is & go for a smaller car. But I really wonder if it's consuming fuel d way u portray it. It's a 3.0 liter engine & generally doesn't guzzle fuel like that. |
