Hi All,

Currently running a 96 model 80 series, 1HZ with aftermarket toyota turbo which was already fitted when I bought it. Not sure of the model but believe it is the same as on the 1HDT. After my last fishing trip towing a 1.5t boat for 400km it seems my turbo has given up the ghost? A lot of ...

Has anyone thought about putting a new 1VD-FTV (the twin turbo diesel from the 200 series) in an 80 series? Would this be possible? I also have an 80 series with a 1HZ and aftermarket turbo, with 4 inch lift and running 35's. I generally use it for towing about 1 tonne of boat long distances and a ...

Ok got it sorted now...
Earthing problem

Cheers!

Yeah sure it is. Red wire to starting battery, white wire to aux battery, black wire earthed.
Says clearly on the box that's the way it's supposed to be? When I opened it up the
solder seems fine, nothing is loose. Suppose the sensors are on the way out. Will change
the earth wire tonight and see ...

Seems I still have a problem with my dual battery control box..? This time it might actually be a real problem!?
Since running my old mans fridge off the second battery to the point where the fridge has stopped, (wanted
to see how long it would last) I start the cruiser and the control box goes ...

Ok all tested and this is the case...
Once the voltage drops the batteries disconnect! Thanks for the help!

Cheers!

Hmmm... Never thought of it that way? Its either A or B but B sounds like it could be the case. I will have to do a
little more investigating. If I use a multimeter on the main battery I should be able to tell what charge it is
at right? So lets say it is above the 13v when I have shut down the ...

Having a slight problem with my dual battery setup. For some reason the control box that senses when
the engine is running or stopped is intermittantly not seeing the engine turn off. A small LED on the
box indicates when the battery is being charged and only turns on when the engine is started ...

Hi Exhaustfix,

I've got a Turboed 1HZ 80 Series. Looks like the guy before me has used 3" steel pipe from the headers to under
the drivers seat where it has been joined using a flexible piece to the original exhaust pipe. The original pipe is
considerably narrower (2" maybe?) but is straight ...

It seems there is much debate about which is better but most opinions appear to be biased.
My old man has a Trailblazer, its his 2nd as some thieving bastard pinched the first one
out the back of his ute! But it seems to do the job and is tough as they come. Its a bit on the
heavy side and made to ...

Just looking at getting a fridge for the 4B and was wondering which were the best buys?
Would be used on regular weekend and longer trips and would be in the back of an 80 series.
Which are better as far as battery life goes and what experiences have you had with yours?
Looking at around 80 ...

I've listed this in the Toyota section but so far have not had many responses... Thought I'd try here also?
See the following thread.

How old the turbo?
Not sure about the age of the turbo??? When i bought the car i was under the impression that it was a factory turbo.
But after getting it home and having a few dramas found out is was aftermarket.
with my old turbo it wistled real loud one da y ...

Drove the cruiser (96' 80 Series GXL 1HZ Turbo) yesterday for about 100k's towing a boat and had no dramas. But after stopping for a couple of hours before driving home unloaded, noticed the turbo whistle was considerably louder in the cab when accelerating? I would say that it was at least twice as ...

Yeah turned out the clutch had sh*t itself...
Was off the road for a week getting it fixed but it's all go again now!
Not sure what it cost her, but it was a few hundred at least..?

Good luck!

Batteries

Sorry about that... Give this a try!!

Cheers!

I've managed to get my hands on a couple of batteries (free) and was wondering if they would be
any good for the 4by accessories also? I've included a PDF doc of the specs. Maybe someone here
can make some sense of it all? The batteries were used as backup power for a PABX.

Cheers!

Ok I've had another look at her car and the rear springs are definitely shot! They are flat as a pancake
with no weight in it what so ever! Are there any decent brands of springs or is anything good enough.
Are these cars easy to lift? Even if its just 2 inches as she wouldn't need anything ...

That tank did about 200km of highway driving @ say 115km/h
50km of 1st and 2nd gear driving through rough hill tracks.
120km towing a 1 tonne boat @ 100km/h and the rest normal driving.

No I haven't had the injectors checked, nor have i had it tuned since
I bought it. Has heaps of power so maybe ...

Sounds pretty good to me... I don't even get close to that!!
I've got a turboed 1hz in mine and i'd be lucky to get 16L/100km on highway driving.
Just got 450km out of 70L ($100) doing a bit of everything.

Had a quick look and the radiator looks physically ok, but haven't had the time to be pulling it out just yet.
Might get a look at it next weekend. Was thinking I would change the thermostat in the mean time as
I have no idea if its ever been changed? Hopefully this will be the quick fix im ...

Yes the cruiser has been lifted, but its only a 2 inch suspension and 2 inch body lift. Do you think this would
make much difference? I haven't checked the uni's but the noise seems to be coming from the front end,
so i'm not so certain it would be in the tail shaft. The cruiser is a GXL model and ...

Just looking into what suspension setups are best in a 90' Feroza. The missus' car is definitely due
for some new shocks and looks like new springs as well. What brands and prices are we looking at?

Cheers!

In the past couple of months I've had the cruiser (96 1HZ with bolt on toyota turbo) heat up on me. Both times I was
towing the boat (Approx 1 Ton) and doing around 115-120km/h @ 3000Rpm. As far as strain on the engine, there
didn't seem to be much and it has plenty more power in reserve. The ...

Ok I've finally got most of the bugs out of the cruiser from the previous owner, who turned out to be one of the
shonky brothers! Anyways there's still one noise that I haven't figured out. It only happens when slowly
deccelerating from cruising speeds (100km/h) and its more of a vibration than ...

The missus was on her way home tonight when her feroza decided it would go no more. Seems as though the clutch or drive shaft may have gone?
But not knowing much about em and being dark I couldn't really say... When in gear and the clutch is released it just sits still. Will not drive with any ...

Sorry mate entered the wrong number where i put the model number... Whoops!!
Actual model number is M34GMC29C3AA
Hope this helps?

Cheers!

Reading that link it says that it can be used for engine starting and utilities so i'm assuming it will work ok? and if it has a estimated life expectancy of 10 years then i wouldn't complain. I guess it may have a problem with vibrations from driving but it looks pretty solid??? I guess as long as ...
