Re: 1HZ or 1HD-T

Lets here your theory? We have a FTE with 233rwkw/950nm. Do both the utes and wagons.

Re: 1HZ or 1HD-T

That's the intercooled version mate. "The version with intercooler as fitted to HDJ100 station wagons has 202 hp (151 kW) at 3400 rpm with 317.1 lb·ft (430 N·m) of torque at 1200-3200 rpm with a redline reaching 4000 rpm.

Re: 1HZ or 1HD-T

Exactly right milo. The amount of crap I read from the guys who have converted to stock 1HDFTE's is rediculous. They recon they have so much power it's not funny, snap axles etc etc. I deal with plenty of them, and they are fantastic engines with the POTENTIAL for great power. The same as the guys ...

A good WTA could well work, personally i'm not convinced though. A poor or average WTA could also spell the end of your engine, very easily. Go the ATA! I'll convince you ;). 98% (best) - 77% (worst) efficiency rating, 27psi with a 2.2psi pressure drop. And your right. I wouldn't ever put a Chinese ...

Re: top mount intercooler

A core near twice as thick has far more restriction. The louvers design plays a part aswell. And the WTA is dumping far less heat = less stress on engines cooling system. This difference may not be as great above 80kph (maximum efficiency). But slower speeds with more load (load, slow in soft sand ...

Re: top mount intercooler

Actually no they don't. The WTA radiator is thinner with thermals - far less air drag. Then measure the air temps from the back of both (the air temp that's entering the engine radiator). The water is only 10-15' above ambient, so the air temp from the back of that rad is only going to be the same ...

I guess it really depends on the application (engine/boost/use). Front mounts do add more stress to the engines cooling system.

Re: Water to Air Intercooler install on LN106 Hilux

Great looking build.

But, Just an observation and advice.

There is no way your pre IC temps should be 90 degree's c at 5 psi. Somethings not right there mate. And forget about your egt's. You want to measure your afr's. Otherwise the tune can be anywhere and you can blow it.

Re: Rebuilding 80 series rear diff.

They really arent that hard to find, from memory.
Run out 0.1 (max)
Pinion preload 1.3 to 2 nm (new bearings)
Backlash .15 to .2 (Being a rear 4x4 diff, go the greater .2)
Carrier bearing depends if a air locker is being used or not. +3 notches.

Torque specs 110nm carrier bearing cap bolts

Easy
