Throttle spindle wear in carbies always seems to be much more variable more often. 250odd rpm due to spindle wear would equate to a pretty large butterfly opening. Injector pump got rebuilt about 130 000 ago. I'll have to post some photos. The issues seems to be an ajdustment somewhere. Does anyone ...

It is not the throttle cable. The throttle lever is sitting against the grub screw at rest (as described above).

Hoping someone can help with my issue. Motor is 1HD-T in 80 series cruiser. The idle speed has recently increased and sits on 800rpm. It stays on 800rpm 90% of the time, although it has dropped down to its usual 600ish rpm a couple of times. I had a look at the A/C idle up actuator today to see if ...

Hi, Got an HDJ80R (1HD-T). Everynow and again the solenoid clicks (CLUNK) and the starter does not turn. It ahs done this about 3 or 4 times in 12 months. This week it has started to do it more consistently, and when it does start sometimes it is a bit doey. Battery is good. Put multi meter on ...

I got Dad the JCar Hi/Low upgrade for Christmas for his 60 series. It s doing the exact same thing.

NO spotlights, and no high beam indicator on dash.

Thanks this sounds great.

So it works with 80 series -(ve) switching. Does it def work with the 60 series +(ve) switching?

Hi, Looking at getting 1HD-T injectors tested before commencing tuning work. Have done 130k since last service. Still starting easily and not blowing smoke. Economy does seem to have dropped slightly in last 30 000km. How long between services for these type of injectors when running good fuel? I ...

thanks.

the negative switching was a silly idea.

the diagram on that web page looks overly complicated.

Do many people just rip it out and turn the lights back into a normal positive switching set up?

I think this is what I will do.

Hi, Just knocked up a relay to my H1 high beams on 80 series. Having a problem with the relay staying closed. When I turn the headlights off, the low and high beam stay on very dull. Have to pulll out the earth or power from the relay to turn them off. Whats holding the relay open and what is the ...

Hi, Looking at getting some tuning work done on 80 series 1HD-T. Looking at Motson's at Coopers Plains. Many people used him? Seems to have been around forever. Feedback? Does he run conservative settings? How do you go EGT wise afterwards? Hope someone can help or suggest some other places if need ...

Thanks for the help. I should add - the shims a mechanic gave me were slightly different for the bottom (I have an 80 series). The stud pattern of the four bolts was broader/longer. I had no other way of getting shims out here, so I trimmed the corners. I rang sci fleet in Brisbane this morning and ...

I put a 0.2mm shim on the bottom and it came up nicely. Nice a smooth with some steady drag.

Thanks. I am confident the bearings are seated properly. The bottom kingpin looks like it has been shimmed in the past. I reckon its just been lost or forgotten to put back on. The offset bearing races - yes one is cracked thourgh the thin side. I have replaced with standard bearings. I might try a ...

Hi, Currently working on swivel hubs on 80 series. Have pulled out king pin races and they were worn in almost an oval shape. Showed them to an old mechanic and he said they had been made like that and were formed in an eccentric manner to adjust camber. The king pins had no shim on bottom, and only ...

Thanks. V hard to test motor EGT at full load as I live in Cloncurry and there are no hills like what would be required. In terms of how deep my hit pockets are - just deep enough to splash out on a $500 pyroguage - not deep enough to blow a $10k motor. My triple carbed EH is my play car. This one ...

Thanks - thats what i thought. I reckon a stock 1HD-T would be much lower. I am a bit worried that the settings will be too much for a big load - i.e. towing my big boat up Fraser island fully loaded. Next step would be to check boost I guess. In comparison, have just been up to fraser in a mates ...

Thanks,

So just to confirm slowhilux - is your FTE running standard fuel boost settings?

So similar reading on 1HD-T with 12psi would indicate that my fuel boost settings are NOT standard.

Are these temps ok?

I have set the alarm on pyro to come on at 550 and off at 500.

Thanks for the help.

Hi, I have just fitted an ENG-TEK digi pyrometer to my 80 series. Looks to me to be running pretty hot - opinions please! Its a 1HD-T with beaudesert 3inch exhaust. Injector pump rebuilt 125k ago prior to my ownership. Injectors done at same time. I was told the pump was running standard settings ...

The three tweaks listed on LCOOL sound sensible and a good starting point. My engine does not seem to have an issue with off idle response as listed in the LCOOL acticle. I live in cloncurry, but will be in brisbane at xmas. Can anyone recommend a workshop that could look at the existing settings ...

Thanks for the thoughtful replies - much appreciated. I'm starting right from scratch with diesel motors. Experienced in building hot triple carbed holden sixes - but doesnt count for much here! In any case, I guess I understand the fundamentals but i guess the boost factor makes the cam profile and ...

Hi, Have an 80 series with 1HD-T mated with 5 speed. 270k on the clock - motor seems in good nick. Have just replaced big end bearings. Wanting to know about power increase with fuel/boost and am new to diesel engines. What I am looking for is getting the most out of the engine, without decreasing ...

Thanks for the help.

The relay turned out to be faulty - although it was still closing and opening. The plastic around the power in spade was melted.

Does anyone know what these factory relays are rated at? Must be reasonable to run twin headlights. Toyota couldnt tell me.

Hi, I have a headlight issue. The lights (low and high beam) flickered on and off about 4 or 5 times and are now not going at all. The day this happened I had just replaced the Harmonic balancer and obvisouly had all the lights/grill out to do this. My first thought was that an earth or something ...

Vehicle is 80 series turbo diesel GXL. Only had it 7000kms or 5 months. I have noticed oil sprayed underneath vehicle on passenger side. Checked Transfer case/diff and oil was full. Drain and refilled with new oil and checked plugs. Checked gearbox and was low - drained and only 2.2L came out ...
