Outer Limits 4x4 Board

aussie desert cooler triple flow radiator,,, worth the dollars and 3 tubes silicon oil in the hub with sealed shroud, street and strip aluminum may be avail now too I got one for the cruiser and its choice

Long story,,, engine still runs but up to piston replacement time and head reco time,, can anyone point me to a replacement piston that will be better suited to the turbo and have same installed height on the std rods. I presume there are aftermarket better suited ones, just wondering what some guys ...

the transfer case doesnt take much fluid at all so if you have a leak I suggest you keep checking it or your transfer case may run dry. The transfer has a chain inside that carries fluid well and When the seal between the transfer and box is letting fluid pass its usually fluid being thrown up and ...

I happen to have a set of instructions with full schematics for fitting Fairey to a landcruiser 3 speed box. Shouldnt be too much different and it may give you some valuable pictures and info.
If your interested P.M me with your email address and I will send it to you in PDF format.

That makes at least three of us who don't agree with the equasion 1hz + turbo = trouble. And we still don't know what your diesel guru meant by a boosted crankcase!
Yeh I dont get that either, mine has a breather routed through an oil catch can into the inlet between the filter and the turbo and ...

Its either luck of the draw or its just that people dont look after them properly.
My 1Hz has had a turbo fitted for well over 200,000km runs like a dream and has never had an issue with a total of 430,000km on the motor now I reckon its doing OK.
You can source an exchange 1HZ full reco for $3500 ...

G'day all wise ones,
I have just turbo'd my 2.8 hilux, I made my own kit up using a surf manifold with a new IHI RHF5 watercooled turbo from a mazda bravo, all set up and running now but I have too much boost. The boost pressure shows the wastegate opening at right on 10lb then it drops just under ...

Regards getting the ring off the stub axle, If you have a very small cold chisel (cheap to buy) in your toolbox of tricks I usually give it a couple of good whacks after sharpening at 45 degrees or a little less and it spreads the metal expanding the ring while at the same time the shock of the blow ...

Yeah they say the same about being religious with the oil changes. I have been since I have owned the car but that has only been 12 months and who knows what happened before I bought it........
Will build it as strong as I can, service it right and hopefully it will last. Have plans to replace it ...

Yes it is common, and maybe the toyota bearings are a little soft as well but are you sure these guys really know the 2.8 motor?
It is well documented that the number 4 bearing issue is more oil related.
Sure use good quality bearings but it is extremely important in this motor to use thin oil and ...

does anyone know what the issue was with the fuel tank leakage on early 90's landcruisers?
My son has an 80 series with a leaking main tank around the seam and we noticed there was a recall just wondering if it was a seam issue. Anyone remember this one.
Cheers

DTS are all std fit kits so you should be able to just order a new one. failing that remove it take it to pirtek or enzed and they can use your fittings to make a new one.
Here is a link for DTS distributors and phone numbers in australia.

Pretty sure it is not a bearing as the noise is high in the engine and half engine speed.

Didn't see anything unusual on the head or pistons. Head had a couple of leaky valves so had them ground and the seats cut just for laughs.

Fuel pump has been reconditioned as have the injectors

But it ...

when mine did that it was worn bearings allowing the rod and piston to stretch and knock when revved hot.
If you have run out of all other options and theories it
wouldnt hurt to pull the sump and replace the rod bearings. minimal cost and relatively easy. just have to use a ring spanner to undo ...

go here and if its the same type of solonoid open up and save the picture then you can open it and enlarge to read properly.

ok for those wanting to know diesel alternators bolt straight in just need longer belts to clear power steering pump 1170 instead of 1130 from memory.

They were 11 A 1155 the 1170 was that fraction too slack.

Also when using the diesel one take care to disconnect the positive terminal first and ...

wellI reckon your both right about the boost compensator i have no doubt it makes more power but thats because like the man said it allows the pump to be fuelled up to a point that normally wouldnt be possible without creating a James bond smoke screen. the compensator with the increased settings ...

Most mechanics will come in with a quote of around $450 drive in drive out.
I think they allow around 5hrs labour in the book.
My 2.8 they did the seal and a new fork pivot for the $450

Hi all...Spot on,these engines just cant hack haveing a turbo on long term, driven in the real world,moreso if you use them as a work horse and or tourer with trailer long trips extreme temps up and down the great divide.Another problem is the the top ring grove in the pistons flog out and ...

You could take it in another quarter of a turn and it still wouldnt hurt until they do it for you and that will get it boosting higher as well in most instances where the fuel is a bit lean, try the extra quarter and if you dont like it or its blowing black smoke its easy to turn it back out again ...

He did the full kit (transfer mod as well)

this is my first 4wd but i was very surprised handle pretty well even a mate mark (markil on outers) has driven it and said it handles pretty well. I think a lot has to with the liift kit you run. Mines a toughdog lift kit with dobinsons springs and shocks. While dads got a 75 (howesy on outers ...

Hey sonny (just kidding) why don't you jack the diff up in the air and turn those wheels a bit. If it is an intermittent hub problem the you will confirm it or if its not tempted to move then look at the transfer.
Too much grease in the hub can cause this as well so do the check. I know a really ...

its commonly accepted by a lot that 9 to 10 lbs is the accepted safe boost level on this motor if you want longevity. And if your doing the job properly wouldnt you nitride the crank anyway?
Secret to those engines is clearances and using thin oil and regular oil changes with filter (every 5000 ...

What have you got to lose, screw it out half a turn (leaning it) and if it solves the problem your laughing, if not then simply screw it back in half a turn. Running it just that little bit leaner wont hurt but if your running too rich that can cause you dramas.
Give it a go it wont hurt.

Did the 2nd hand motor come without exhaust manifolds and did you see what it come out of, if they had a turbo fitted on that motor then the fuel would be around half to 3/4 a turn too rich. But definately sounds like pump issue

Fuel screw seal is an O ring and easy but top cover shaft seal I paid to have done cost me $110 a few years ago
These are the usual 2 culprits. cleant it first and see where its coming from.

Should be a primer plunger on the fuel filter but if you have no luck you really want to check that the fuel is getting to the injectors. Pull the glow plugs out and like this it should wind over fast and when you get an even mist coming up through the holes then it all primed ready to go put the ...
