Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Were the scratches a cross hatch look, if so thats the honing on the block. If they were straight up and down, then something got into your engine to be able to do that. Rings are meant to wear down, but it takes a looooong time usually... doesnt sound like your engine blew from what you describe ...

tttoooo mmuuuccchhh bboooooooosssttt But was just 0.6 Bar! , arround 8 PSI..... that isnt so much i think no? It can be for some engines - what EXACTLY went wrong with the motor after you installed the turbo??? I can tell you exactly what i saw but i dont know WTF happened... my engine has ...

But was just 0.6 Bar! , arround 8 PSI..... that isnt so much i think no?

I agree with Ben, Too much Boost or too worn an engine J Top Not likely that i think , i opened the engine 1 week before installing the turbo , all seemed to be okey , the compression was very very good , anyway ... i hope it will stand the turbo after the rebuild... We'll see , another thing ,3L ...

My idea is too keep checking before the mixture gets to lean and possibly damage the engine.. (has already happened to me) Too lean is not a problem with diesels, anly too much fuel (too rich). There is no need to install an airflow meter or mixture meter (impossible anyway since the injectors are ...

Hi there, anyone knows if the common O2 sensors and Air Fuel Ratio metes do work with diesel engines? i've a table that compares gasoline lambdas with diesel ones , but im not sure if the gauge will work if the engine has a turbo.... My idea is too keep checking before the mixture gets to lean and ...

Mate, there is a screw on the back of the injector pump that has a wire seal around it to stop it from turning, you need to turn that srew 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Can't remember which way to turn it but after you turn it while the car is sitting at idle rev it up and if you see a fair amount of black ...

Hi Guys , well finnaly my engine is a complete mess , so i need to check if a 1KZT engine will bolt up straight where previously existed a 3L , ive a 1993 Lux with previous 22R Engine ( before 3L) so im not pretty sure but i should have a G52-5 or a R151... Someone with previous experiencies and ...

You can't hurt a diesel by running it too lean - it just makes less power. (The richer they run, the hotter they run. White smoke on start up sounds like unburnt atomised diesel. sorry I can't help more, but that's a couple of pointers. Steve Running a diesel too lean will still burnt out valves ...

When I put the turbo on my lux, same model as yours but with a dts kit, I took it to a diesel specialist to get the fuel sorted, also got the injectors done but I wasn't game to take the risk just by upping the fuel a bit. Maybe a call to a local diesel place might be the go and see what they'd ...

Yeah , exactly as the topic says , after a complete engine check (compression , timming belt , etc etc) , all was Okey , then i installed a CT20 Toyota turbo with the 2LT mainfold into the 3L (it matched perfectly) , and putted all the oil and water lines okey , a pressure meter and O2 meter , all ...

by the sounds of it then its number 1 injector, but see what your mates find out, best to fork out the $$ and get it fixed properly. Yah , the idea is to get as far possible with the engine , but just wondering , how long should i run the engine without troubles after a complete rebuild? how many ...

There was a thread a couple of weeks ago about someone who got an oil treatment thing done to his hilux? I think where they drained, flushed cleaned and put new oil in. I wonder if that would clean up any build up around the valves???? Uff im already throw the towel and i left the lux in a friend's ...

if so, let me know how you go

Dammit , appears to be a common problem on 3L... i'll be reporting my progress (if i get something like that) and we'll see...

Greetings,

did this happen instantly or was it a gradual progession to the loud tapping sound, black smoke and poor fuel economy? My timing belt jumped a tooth not long ago and sounds a lot like your problem, although i wasnt blowing a lot of black smoke and didnt notice fuel economy cos i got it fixed ...

Mine does something that sounds very similar after it hasn't had a good long run for a while. It seems to take about a good hour of highway driving before it shuts up and takes a few weeks or sometime months to surface again. Still don't know what it is??? But does it smokes when you hear that ...

Hi everyone , i hope someone can help me out , i've a damn trouble that has been taking my sleep time away , so here we go: I've a 3L Engine , and after i changed the stock air filter for a conic one , the result was good anyway , it ran smooth and faster. Around 3 days later , the engine started to ...

Hi, first than all letme please introduce myself , I'm Plafo from Chile, Southamerica ... done :D Recently i bought a Hilux with a stock 3L engine, it runs smooth but i want more power in it , so i decided to put a turbo on it , and after if i can afford it , an intercoole. Now after taking hours ...

I can't wait to see the finished pictures of your Rocky Plafo !! Looking good.....although I should have babel translated the site and then I could understand what they were all talking about !! Belive me that I REALLY cant wait to finish that damn junk soon , i've been working in it for 5 months ...

Hey Plafo..........

Try and get hold of a book called the "Leaf Spring Design Manual" by the "Society of Automotive Engineers". It has all the equations you want for any possible spring application. If you are in Brisbane you can go to Uni of QLD library and photocopy the bits you need from it. Sorry I don't have the ...

Hi , well im finishing the details of my suspension , but everything i try seems to not to be correct , so after HOURS trying to figure out what's the REAL spring rate equations , i started looking for help.. so here we go: 1st) What's the spring rate equation for the normal leaf springs application ...
