Hi Toy45 and welcome, although I've only had 1 45 it had the 2H engine fitted with 4.1 diffs and the 5 speed box. In this guise it went very well and I didn't feel the need to add a turbo kit. However I have had several 60's with after market turbo kits and they do go very well indeed putting about 140 bhp out and giving the ability to climb all hills in top gear and cruise at 70 -80 mph all day. None of my turbo 60's ever suffered by being turbocharged and I would recommend it.
I would guess you have 4.11 diffs in yours, fit 3.7's out of a 60 if you keep the 4 speed and add the turbo.
If you want to go auto I guess your best bet is to buy an automatic 60 and transpose the stuff over, this will give you the power steering and front disc brakes too.

This was my 45 when I had it.



Hope this helps

Thanks guys for the advice so your saying the 60 series stuff should fit in?

Hi Toy45,
A remarkable amount of the parts are interchangeable &/or marry up. Mr T, unlike many other manufacturers, seems to work on the principle that 'if it's not broke - don't fix it' improve it - yes.
You could use 60 or 70 power steering or if you wanted to keep the original set up a Corolla electric assist would work. If you have or intend to fit a PTO winch then the last option is (probably) the only option as both 60 & 70 series will require modified track rods.
I have no experience of turbo charging but, if I remember there was a thread on here where Iwan turbo charged a 60 series.

Hope that helps

Regards,

Thanks for replying
Still curious on an auto gearbox if anyone knows any information on that

Sorry mate, I have no experience with the auto box for a 2H but logically it should be a straight swop - crank end to transfer box. As you are in Oz it maybe worth contacting Chris at F'n'B.

Cheers
