100 IFS Steering rack - rebuild or replace?

Looking for advice on a leaky 100 IFS series steering rack. It's leaking about 5 drips a day. All of the regular mechanics are wanting to just replace it, but at $2k for the part or $1200 for a copy, I am hesitant. What are they like to have rebuilt? It's just a piston with some seals right? Anyone ...

I am looking for feedback on aftermarket CV's for the HDJ100r.

Re: gq patrol getting hot

Do thermo's infront of the radiator fit?

Or would it be better to remove the fan and just run twin thermo fans?

With a turbo'd engine, is the stock radiator adequate?

Thanks guys!

the flanges look like non standard garret bits, rather patrol factory flanges (once again only from what I have seen on the net)

Looks like I have hit the wall with this turbine and it's variable vane setup!

If you did lock it open, that would lower the available boost?

simply, I don't know jack about turbo's.

its a 4L motor and this is from a 3L - has a much smaller inlet and outlet than the current stuffed turbo but the housings are roughly the same size.

Anyone got some pointers on what to look for that would suit a 4L 2H ?

Looking for 8-12 psi.

Thanks!

m24 garrett (patrol 3L) onto 2H Toy - wasting my time?

Hey guys,

picked up a good manifold and 3inch exhaust with a busted turbo attached. Also scored a m24 garrett turbo off a 3l patrol.

Should I bother putting the 3l m24 turbo onto my 2h toyota or am I wasting my time?

I am wishing to get upto 12psi out of this thing.

Cheers,

How much boost do you guys run on yer 2h - I am considering a v8 or turbo but it all depends on how dibbz's truck goes - I like the turbo he has but I want more grunt than the 8psi it's running at.
