Re: 1HD-FT into 80 Series
The engine its replacing is the 4.5L toyota petrol engine (6cyl i believe) which is mounted to a 5spd manual gearbox. Its a 1997 model off the top of my head. We will be doing most of the work ourselves. Both the fuel tanks be replaced with long ranger diesel tanks and hoses replaced with 3/8" fuel ...

V8 Cruiser Ute
Gday everyone, I was just wondering if anyone knows if the wiring loom for the engine of the single turbo and twin turbo cruiser engines are the same minus the loom to the second turbo? Also how hard/difficult would it be to fit the manifold and second turbo to it?
Cheers,
Josh

Re: what fuel pump to use for 304 efi 5L in a fj40
Run the walbro intank pump, most tanks are baffled unless your running standard cruiser tanks lol but if your going to run a surge tank you could just make it a twin turbo 5L and make use of the bosch 044 pump and surge tank

Manta make snorkel heads to mate, they also do throttle response modules, power modules, 3 stage air filters and 3" exhausts. Email them and they usually do package deals and knock a far bit off the price for ya

Because the way in which holden V8 petrols work is a lot different to a Turbo Landcruiser Diesel V8, the torque curve is different and the gearing etc etc, handling of the vehicle and the design of the vehicle for me changes my mind set of how i drive, if i got a sports ute i drive it hard, i ...

Re: Landcruiser parts from the USA
to start with the postage is steep, but as u add more items it doesnt change to much as long as you dont get something rediculous like body armor. but if you were going lockers the price wouldnt change much from 1 locker to 2 as i bought over some stuff for my LS1 and it cost $198 in postage

Re: 35's vs 37's
ok well guess totally scratch the 37's as it seems like hard work to have them on there.
Ive narrowed down to a choice of 3 tyres:
Cooper STT Armor-TEK 3 in 35's
Micky Thompson MTZ in 35's
Super Swampers IROK 36's
any recommendations on these 3?
