Outer Limits 4x4 Board

KiwiBacon: Thanks for the offer. That will make the Garrett swap easier if we go that way. fester2au: Is that a typo or did you convert your 80 to EFI? Lets see, before jacking the bonnet I couldn't maintain 140km/h unless the DP chip was turned off and then it struggled to get there. Now I'm ...

Matt: Just finished reading the engine build-up on your website. Mammoth task you set yourself. Spooky how the dollars get away isn't it? I'd actually tripped over this project on mud before the intercooler came to light. I'm a big fan of the 2F, not so much the 3F. dow50r: Do you know if the turbos ...

Adam: Thanks, I'll give them a call. I'm not too keen on replacing the ECU with aftermarket yet. Perhaps when I learn more about them. Surely the software is not very complicated compared to a common-rail engine? Andrew: Very interesing. Did you do it yourself or use a workshop? In other words ...

I found the Diesel-Tec website and had a look around. I tried to ring them but they will be closed until the 12th. Then I rang Denco to talk about their intercoolers and see what they knew about changing turbos (or anything else). Short answer is they have not even thought about it as there is no ...

So CT26 are a whole line of tubos that Toyota use. That explains a lot. I presume they are all bushed type? What about roller bearing turbos then? Surely they spool-up faster so you can get away with a larger one? I don't expect to just bolt on a new turbo and smoke the tyres in every gear. But I ...

Thanks for the responses guys. I might be getting somewhere now. +dj_hansen+: I've done plenty of thread searching and although I don't post much I get on here a fair bit. Who is Dieseltec and where is he? bj on roids (long time no talk) & money_killer: Got any recommendations of which turbos or ...

Why is it that nobody swaps to a bigger turbo on their diesel Toyota? I've searched and researched, and I've talked to a few diesel performance shops but I can't find out why it's not done. With Petrol performance cars, swapping in a bigger or better turbo is an excepted part of a series of upgrades ...

Still havn't put the 2F back together but now I've got another compatability question.

Will my 2F bolt up to the auto trans in an FJ73 that came with a 3F?
The FJ73 is in good nick and the engine runs fine it's just really gutless and thirsty compared to the 2F.

Thanks for the replies. I've saved a bunch of time not trying to make that 3F crank fit. I managed to track down another 2F crankshaft from a mate of a mate so with some new bearings and seals and gaskets I should be good to go early next week.

Thanks again for the info.

Really?
I thought they were both 4.2 litre motors.

Hey guys, It seems I have run one of the main bearings dry on the 2F in my FJ40 and stuffed the crank. Such a shame as it was a sweet running original motor with less than 200,000 on it. Now I happen to have a 1984 model FJ45 Troopy that I bought for parts. It has a high milage 3F in it that was ...

Incorrect the cab chassi's and troopies have 4.3:1 diff ratios, which is the same as the last model 78,79 series.

Ben

I stand corrected.
And it might make a little bit of difference.
But does not account for the lacklustre performance though.

Same gearbox, H151
Same diff ratio, 4.11

Maybe my tester was a dud. Maybe the motor was still tight and would loosen up in time. But I dont think it has anywhere near the claimed output. I do think it has oodles of potential though.

I've driven the single cab. Was very disapointed in performance, expected a hell of a lot more grunt out of the V8. Didn't get a chance to line it up against our 4.2TD 79 and 100 series but I'm pretty sure it would have got spanked. Inside is virtually identical to 79. The only thing I noticed was ...

thanks for that bad_religion_au

I have an un-modified 1980 HJ45 with a good H motor but has worn-out the gearbox and transfer case. I also have a couple of wrecks with good gearboxes bolted up to buggered engines that I could use behind the H motor if they will fit. One is a 1983 FJ45 with a 2F and the other is a 1981 HJ47 with a ...

I'm thinking about installing the Taipan exhaust and BP ECU on our 79 Series after seeing it at the 4X4 show.
Anyone have any experiance with this stuff?
10 stage adjustable ECU sounds like a fun option over the Dtronic or Tunit.

We used to have an '81 F100 with factory fitted Perkins. Bit of a slug on the highway but good in the bush. It was easily the best part of the truck.

Also know a bloke who put one in his 40 series 6X6. He loves it.

I have searched for but cannot find any info on crown wheel sizes (not ratios) for Zuks. Why is this, are they all the same? So far I have found 8 bolt, 10 bolt & 12 bolt centres with either 22 spline .94" axleshafts or 26 spline 1.08" axles. Can someone point me to a thread or fill in the blanks ...

FSI is 10,000km and thats what I do it at.
However.........I don't think you should keep them long. Mines done 65,000 and is goig very shortly.

So does it have rear leaves or not?

The 100 series GXL was available with the 1HZ auto. It is not very common. And as I said, "This thing has a Safair turbo, Safari intercooler, fuel aneroid and 2.5" mandrel exhaust." Good luck with the Safari kit. What are you putting it on? Is Mike going to give you before and after power figures ...

If i were in your boat, i would be looking for a low km 1hdft multivalve motor to bolt straight in and sell that 1hz as a drive b4 u buy proposition...you wont get more power than a multivalve direct injected turbo, especially if you intercool it and boost it to 1 bar, unless you do what i have and ...

gm made a 5.7L for the oldsmobile

the motors are rare, but cheap

But they have a woeful reputation for reliability.
I know Linquip won't fit them. Not even if they were free.

Does anyone make an adapter to bolt a Powerstroke to a Nissan gearbox?
I don't think so and this is the limiting factor.

Have you had a look at the Linquip site ( www.linquip.com.au )
or Brunswick Diesel ( www.brunswickdiesels.com.au )?




[/url]

drive one running at least 12psi I thought with the 1HZ having indirect injection you should be careful with high boost and a subsequent high fuel load. Turbo tuners and installers have warned me not to do this as it may lead to servere engine damage. A conversion will set you back a minumum of ...

Fuel doesn't worry me as long as it's diesel.
And mechanically injected.
