Hey all, done some searching on toyotasurf.asn an on here but no real luck. for the past 2 days my turbo has been leaking air pressure, it will build up to around 8-9psi then drop back to 6-7psi as soon as it hits 9psi. it is quite noisy as you can hear the air excaping from the turbo from in the ...

No one can point me in the right direction? Spent all day trying to sort it out but i have no idea how the system works :( If i swap the 2 vacuuum lines that go down to the diff over i can manage to engage the hubs ( i think) but not the transfer. Does anyone have any clues? my transfer and front ...

This is where you need to put them... http://www.southernmallee.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/images/Garbage_Bin_.JPG ... and this is the solution http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/ARB0806_EZDeflator2.jpg Say no more!!! :rofl: takes to long, one wheel at a time. If u use one of these u might as well ...

Thanks for the feeback guys! Please keep it coming if any other ideas. i actually thought the same thing Brad - i didnt think it could roll back - i was wrong :cry: . hey Trains thanks for the info. i tightened the cables at the rear of the car in the drums until the cable was nice n firm. (seems ...

The later models have slightly larger drum brakes which you can interchange and will help heaps, mine is a 1993 LN106 diesel and it had never rolled back (though every time i drive through the mud i have to readjust the cable under the truck) My mate had a 84 and it never rolled back, so i'd be ...

well my hubs have been butchered by the previous owner, somehow :? (they're missing internal parts and don't engage, ring gear still good though) so i need 2 new ones before I can start going offroad, and was wondering if you guys have any experience with these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-HILUX ...

150!!!! that can't be right! Was that at Mobile Home Car Services??? In hook Street Yeh i think so mate, i thought it sounded steep but was recomended to go there so didnt ask around. my fault. Cheers fellas, i tow a trailer to work everyday, and i travel without a trailer to toowoomba frequently ...

i just had mine done by a mob in capalaba cost $150 tho....

so am i supposed to down gear an use more fuel in higher revs on hills? i thought thats why i turboed it?

hey all Putting a turbo on my lux mid week and have some extra gauges i want to fit. I want to fit a boost and water temp definately and im not sure on a pyrometer and oil pressure yet. Just can't figure out where exactly to put them, legally they can't restrict my view and im only on 1 point so ...

the spare sump has been cleaned, brazed an is ready to swap over. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/gotta_b_a_lux/ABCD0019-1.jpg http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/gotta_b_a_lux/ABCD0001.jpg this is just another pick of my feed line for whoever asked before (mosus?) http://i274 ...

goin to pick up a sump from the wreckers today so i can get it brazed through the week. I only want to have to take it off once. I dont want recurring problems. Question for when i get it brazed is it ok to just drill a hole then but the nut up to the side of the sump an braze around it or should i ...

does anyone know anyone that can silver solder or braze on a saturday afternoon/sunday morning for cash or beers or both?

if not im going to just crank it up with a hollow bolt an gasket goo, i have no other choice, its my daily.

cheers

one of the turbo's is getting rebuilt, should be done by end of next week. i went to bayside hoses and fittings this afternoon and got the bits i need to bolt to my sump, just have to take the front diff out on the weekend an my steering stabilizer, etc to get the sump out. http://i274.photobucket ...

i poked a screwy through the drain hole before i fitted the new hoses and it was clear.. I might as well get the drain done direct to the sump so i can totally rule it out. Any ideas where exactly to tap into the sump? Can i just drill a hole underneath the alternator drain, tap it and wind in a ...

hey mate. Yeh the lines werent hooked up in that photo i just had a bit of hose on each side of the tee. I had only connected the 16mm inside diameter from the turbo to the tee. It was just a progress photo. This is what the final setup looked like, of course with the turbo on and the drain attached ...

well started her up this mornin an thought my windscreen was fogged up, but no just a nice big oil cloud, this turbo leaks worse than the last one, when i took the intake off there was oil all through the front half of the turbo aswell. i spent the afternoon/evening converting back to my old ...

looks like the turbo seals to me, that's what mine did. I need to get another Ct20 i have rebuilt i rang around and it was getting steep to get a shop to do it anywhere from $750 - $1100!! i did get on to a guy who does them cheap he said roughly $400 -$450 if you want pm me and i'll send you his ...

so the seals inside the turbo?

how much am i lookin at roughly to get that done?

i bought it a week ago off this forum in apparently excellent condition...

yes the oil is exiting at the dump/exhaust join. i think ive plumbed it right. i am yet to check that they are blocked waiting for it to cool down a bit. here are some pics, hope this helps you help me... http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/gotta_b_a_lux/ABCD0010.jpg also i noticed oil coming ...

ok ive blocked off the hole in the intake manifold with 2 clamps, a bit of hose an a end stop. and for now ive just run a breather to a homemade catch can (water bottle). took it for a run with a mate following me to see how much black smoke is pumping out when giving it to it going up hill an it ...

ok i think ill just run it to a catch can, when you say an inline catch can do you mean the breather just runs into it or? any ideas on plugging the hole where breather used to run to on top of the intake manifold?

Cheers

all good, i just re-taped them an they went in easy as. its all up an runnning now, just wondering how important it is to run my rocker cover breather to the low pressure side of the intake now? i just left it where it was for now, i didnt realy want oil going through my intake pipes into the turbo ...

hey all, currently turboing my 2.8 D with a ct20, went to bolt it on tonight an i cant get the three bolts an the stud to wind in enough into the block on the left hand side (into the holes that have never been used) ive hit it with crc spray several times tried cleanin them out with a screw driver ...

Can anyone show or tell me how the have fixed there tube snorkels to the pillar? Ive been looking at it and cant seem to think of anything, theres really not much room to play with. Oh its for a 3rd gen hilux! cheers guys. http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj241/gotta_b_a_lux/mount.jpg http://i274 ...

i noticed a few of u guys chose to have the head of the snorkel facing backwards. for me one of the best things about a snorkel is that the air is getting rammed into it.. Do you turn it around to face forward if doing highway driving etc? Are the gains that having it facing forward gives to ...

hey guys i am going to make a snorkel for my hilux ln65. just wondering if many of you have done thins and if so any advice would be helpfull. pics would be even better. and what did you guys use to make snorkel out of eg. ( stainless steel, alluminium, pvc.rubber tube???????? just want to get as ...

New glow plugs for a 2.8 lux? $17.95 + GST. I priced them up not 5 mins ago for exactly the same reason (reluctant to start on cold mornings). A good place to start apparently accoring to my mate the guru of all things 'yota! And a pretty simple job to change them too. yeh so 80 bucks ish, ive ...
