Re: Diff gears for 35's on 80 series

4.56s would get you back to factory (34.5/31.5)*4.11=4.50. You could run 4.88s but as suggested you would suffer on the highway.

Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

Good question Dan,
I don't think Toyota would have written a spec for 700Nm maybe the some have tried to go beyond the 700 and found they break so, 700 has been called the working limit.

As far as I knew the FTE had a different piston crown and electronic controlled injection timing and ...

Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

How does a drain in the block and a injector pump make it structurally suitable for 700nm at the fly/wheels? Thats double the factory rating.

A 2L-t has those.

A bit of research to suggest a 1HDFTE is not just a 1HDFT with electric pump timing.

Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series

Im more looking for specifics...

For instance, main bearings are held in by a cradle, not caps. There has also been some talk of valve float at higher boost pressure, but has anyone actually ever come across this on a 1HZ/1HDT/1HDFT/1HDFTE. And things like flow testing on Airboxes, manifolds, heads ...

Unfortunately its a standard toyota thing!

Make sure you adjust as per the Toyota FSM, ie: back the cable right off, adjust the drums and then adjust the cable. Most people just tighten the cable only which causes headaches as it stretches.

Which landcruiser? AFAIK the injector lines on the 1HDFTE are a service item at 150,000km intervals along with the timing belt.

Or is this referring to the flexible hoses that feed the filter and the pump?

Assuming your shocks will work with the effective spring length you have now, and that you space your bumpstops to stop the tyres hitting the guards, or your shocks bottoming out... yes it would be entirely possible to run 35s.
