Re: VGT on a 5le

How does the manual controller work? Does it have some kind of ramping function or something? If not there isn't much point in having a variable vane turbo. Also 5le runs a MAP sensor, it may not like having boost in the inlet. Vac valve spring holds vanes in full open possition. On start up no ...

VGT on a 5le

Has any one done or looked into fitting a Variable Geometry Turbo on the non Common Rail Hiluxs? There are some guys on Mercedes Benz forums that have played around with manual control actuators. Any one got a basic explanation of how the manual setups work? I was given a Garrett GT2056v VGT and I ...

Re:

Just realised you have a 5LE not a 5L, so you may be able to use an ECU from a manual 2LTE + turbo & manifolds, bolt it all up and run sweet with the ECU adding more fuel as required by the turbo. The 5LE has a CAS which is the input required by the ECU to work properly !! Anyone think of a good ...

Re: 2LTE onto 5LTE

Rang a couple of Power Chip companys today without any joy. Very reluctant to answer any questions! Makes me wonder what the after sales service would be like. :bad-words: $800 is a lot of money to fork out if it's not going to work. Can any one tell me for sure if a Power module/chip will increase ...

Re: 2LTE onto 5LTE

Rang a Turbo tuning shop today to ask some questions about ECU upgrades and the bloke wouldn't give me the time of day because I'm not buying a $4000 turbo kit from him. Told me he has the uprade for turboing the 5LE but he wouldn't sell it to me because I might blame him if it f#*ks out. Does a ...

Re: 2LTE onto 5LTE

Ok so I have picked up the kit and the ECU and the Turbo's in good condition and everthing is there to do the job.( I'll try insert photo's but im not sure how to do it on here). First thing I wanted to do was see if the ECU was a direct swap. It isn't :cry: . The Hilux ECU has four female plugs ...

2LTE onto 5LTE

Hi all, New to forums so bear with me. :roll: Have a 02 Hilux 5LE and want some more berries. I have read that the 2LTE turbo kit from a manual 2.4 Surf will fit straight on to the 5LE(might have to shift a egshaust stud or two). I have also read that the ECU plugs directly into the Hilux. I know ...
