Re: early and late 2h info please

the heads are the same, the only real difference is the early 2hs had cast iron piston ring retainers and the later ones didnt, which meant the later ones risgs flogged out the piston ring grooves until they move that much they bust and then you drop a cylinder. so early 2h pistons are better to use ...

glow plugs do affect your starting, and do work after your car is started, they only use power when you first start up but after that they are kept hot by the combustion of the engine firing. especially on an engine thats probably a bit long in the tooth and has lost some compression over the years ...

the turbo on a 12ht is a ct26, because the 12ht is direct injection it has much higher exhaust flow, which means it can spool the turbo better and alot earlier. The garret MA24 off a 3litre patrol should be pretty well suited to the application, its at around the right volume to give you good boost ...

2h motors unfortunately have low exhaust flow but large combustion chambers which makes it notoriously difficult to choose a turbo for, you need one that spools easily on low exhaust flow (like a small turbo would) and one that can keep up the boost in large pots at 3500 rpm (like a larger turbo ...
