Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The oil gauge is not linear unlike an aftermarket unit.
In my 75 Ute with a 2H and DTS turbo the oil pressure(when hot) was showing near zero on the gauge at idle, before and after engine rebuild. The real measured pressure was still excellent though, more than 15PSI at idle(from memory) which was ...

A02B
A = 200mm centre.
02 = 4.1:1 41/10 ratio. Old G Series codes don't apply
B = LSD.

Can't you just change your diff ratio's?.

Probably the quickest and cheapest considering the 1UZ intake system in already designed for maximum torque down low not top end power. All those mods mentioned will release (much) more power up top that's all. A nice whipple supercharger(or Eaton *shudder ...

thanks for your help fellas. the local wrecker will sell me an engine only for 1200 bucks. so ill work out some finances and buy then its all on!! i'm excited just gotta get the money. ill do a buildup post when i get it all started, while iam at it i'll rebuild the front diff, ill have a brand new ...

If you replaced the head gasket because you blew the old one then having water in the sump is not uncommon. Have you checked the head for cracks too. The head is normally what goes not the gasket. The coolant in the head will come through the crack and will leak past the pistons eventually and into ...

I've found it easy by having all injector nuts cracked at the same time. Do this first. Bleed the main filter and use a small plastic tube on the bleed screw as to not let air back in. When all the bubbles are out, close the small valve, and close up the primer pump. The leak problem is very common ...

Is this something you can do as a preventative measure on a healthy engine? Would you recommend doing this...once I've had the top radiator tank seam re-soldered?

I would only do it if your engine bits are corroded already. It certainly works though. After, just put in the proper amount of ...

MacroP how far do you go with the rebuild?

ive got a 2H that mkight be in need of a rebuild shortly and just wondering what generally needs to be done for a rebild. I have heard that the heads are often cactus, is this true?

Because the cooling system is a disaster in these engine if not looked ...

I tried silver soldering some 8mm rod to the gear but the bond was not quite strong enough so I ended up MIG welding 2 8mm threaded rods to the gear. I used these and a bearing puller kit to gear the gear off successfully. I had found another timing gear around the traps for nothing, so I could ...

What a stuff up I made today whilst rebuilding a mates 2H in my garage.

I've inadvertently put/smacked the crankshaft timing gear on backwards. Being helical gears the teeth setup will be now half a tooth out so I can't leave it as is.
What is worse, is that I can't use my harmonic balancer kit to ...

go genuine on the clutch kit i bought one for my 1kz very close price to repco.

I bought a Daikin clutch kit for my 1KZ powered Surf, which is the same as the Toyota kit(OEM) and I payed $420 in total, though through work with a nice trade discount. Toyota wanted over 2 times this price for the ...

There is no flyhwheel in an Automatic car. Well not in the same sense as a manual vehicle's flywheel. All there is, is a thin plate called the flex plate that holds the ring gear for the starter motor. The torque converter does the job similar to that of the flywheel, to smooth the engine vibrations ...

I want to fit a 1KZ-T engine into my bundy. There's a 1kZ-T engine available that comes with a automatic box. I want to mate it onto my R151 gearbox. Do I need a bigger flywheel? Any conversion kits available for this?

PBR (The Aussie brake and clutch mob) do a solid flywheel and clutch kit to ...

Yes they are all the 130 shape. A diesel 4Runner is a LN130 too.

Why did Toyota stick with the 4 speed box and not put the 5 speed Auto in that they use in the petrol V6 ?

Thanks in Advance.

Most likely cost cutting but maybe with such a large torque spread from the engine the extra cog may of only had a negligible performance benefit, if any.

Hopefully ...

Find some good welding cable. Most insulation is PVC in whatever colour but if you need more flex then rubber insulation can give you that.

Electrical cable is properly rated in the cross sectional area(mm2) of the conductor. 35 or 50mm2 is a good size for what you want.

Work out your cable ...

I went down to my local dealer today to have a good look. No test drive have to wait until next week. TD Auto all the way for me.
Small dealer in a country area. They only had 3 buses...
Plain Jane Single cab TD 2WD,
SR single cab TD 4WD cab chassis,
SR5 dual cab V6 4WD.

First impression ...

Are you sure the new diesel pumps out 120kW? That's incredible- more than the 115ishkW from Toyota's 4 litre 15B-FT which was used to power the huge Toyota Mega.
Seems hard to believe but then again Nissan's td 3.0L doesn't seem to be all that exciting to what it sounded like on paper.

Yeah man ...

Diesel would have to be at least 50c a litre higher to be more expensive to run!!!

If ya like the black stuff buy a petrol, but if ya want to go offroad a diesel is always the go!

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/style_emoticons/default ...

A CT26 from a few Toyota cars could be the go. They come of the turbo Celica and MR2 - 3SGTE engine. Also on the MA70 Turbo Supra with the 7MGTE engine. The TD Cruisers use the same CT26 unit I believe, but speced different perhaps?
Anyway, whether these are a good choice or not, I don't really ...

It's most likely the headlight control switch/stalk behind the steering wheel. Very common problem. Does the high beam indicator on the dash come on still, it should.
The low-high beam switch, switches the negative through the steering coloumn, that is why the spotties still work becuase the ...

so i should look around at the wreckers for a 2.8ltr fly wheel? is that what you were getting at? isn't changing ring gears exceptionally hard? i heard ya have to heat the ring gear to an extreme level to get it to expand then put it on then cool it rapily? this true?

Tosh

From what I've heard ...

This is for a 2.4ltr turbo deisel? are we talking about the same motor?

Tosh

Both 2.4 and 3.0 Litre Surf's run a dual mass POS flywheel(The 3.0 has a bigger setup).
If you've done the clutch in and the gearbox is out then definately change to a solid setup from a 2.8Litre 3L domestic Hilux ...

Has anybody done this before?

I understand that the HJ had the same front diff as the rear, but the HZJ had the smaller hilux item. Is it worth swapping to get the larger front diff?

Are the knuckles/hubs/brakes/CV's the same? Are there any other complications with the swap?

From what I can ...

wat features they got

Actually they are pretty plain, feature wise but they are extremely comfortable and look cool(Recaro is embossed on the back support).

They wear easily though on the base cushion side supports from entering and exiting the car. You'll find the wear common, that's if you ...

Ive had a look at the bolt pattern for the manual transfer case and the auto and they bothe have 9 holes ive spoken to marlin and he said if the auto has 9 holes with a removable tcase then its the same adaptor to use as the r150/151f the only difference being that for the auto it requires a ...

I have some pics of it(2.4L auto unit) if you need them. Currently it's attached to a modified A341E box from a Soarer.

Whats involved to do this as I am looking at putting a levus v8 in my Surf.
I would prefer to use a gear driven t/case so I can use dual t/case's and I dont think this can be ...

Hey Marco
Do you know if you could bolt the manual chain case to an auto ?
What im trying to do is find out if the bolt pattern on the R150/r151f is the same as on the end of the auto.
Where they actualy bolt onto the aluminiuw housing between the box and transfer cas .
Is there any chance you can ...

I have an A343F(from a 2.4L Surf) with a chain driven transfer sitting on my garage floor. As far as I know, both the auto and manual Surf's have a chain driven transfer box, well my 3 litre manual Surf certainly did. Pretty sure they are the same unit, VF1A? with the RF1A being the gear driven unit ...
