Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Have you consdered 1HDT? I've got one of those in my 73 and it goes like the clappers. Haps ot torque and at arround 13-14L per100 it's quite economical. I think those motors put out approx 165bhp and arround 360Mn of torqe at 2000rpm.

Andrew.

The middy has a 1HDT with the original 80 seriesauto transplanted into it..

the middy has the original auti that came with the 1HDT but i've been told by a Auto mechanic the the earlier convertors had problems with the lock up and this si what mine is doing... all good till i hit about 80 Kmh then it starts to shudder a bit, when i back off the throttle it loks in fine

If you do not have the place to paint in you can propably hire a spey booth... Much cleaner than any shed/garage and better venitlation. Less paint in your nostrils, cleaner air supply etc...

Hi there. Can anyone suggest a good Torque converter to replace the one I have in my middy. From what Ive been told by my mate the lock up is on it's way out. As far as i know it's the original converter that came with the 1hdt and auto. Has anyone replaced one recently??? What sort of cash outlay m...

When i said sports muffler i meant a mufflet that gives the exhaust a bit more flow by means of design...and not one of those reterded lookins stainles steel byckets morons put on their sick looking hyundai excels

Hi

I would recomend you get a sports muffler put on it. It will give you a nicer note. i tend to beleive that Turbo mufflers shoud stay on turbo vehicles... A good non turbo sports muffler should be what you need.

Hi Dumbdunce The young bloke i spoke to in toyota was either too lazy or did not know himself what valve stem seals are required. I'M guesing he must have been too lazy because when i was unable to give him the build date he said there's nothing he can do. Obviously cross checknig part numbers for t...

Hi all, Re: Dumbdunce's question I wound like to know the build date of the engine because i intend to change the valve stem seals on it. It's puffuing a bit of smoke after it's sat arround idling for a while then once i get going it stops. I'm hoping that will fix it and if not I'll get the turbo s...

Hi Guys... Here's my 5cents worth. I ran my old non turbo patrol without a muffler and found it to be quite noisy (Too noisy for the boys in Blue), Also I noticed a big decline in performance. I beleive all engines requise some back pressure (which is usually privided by the muffler) removing the mu...

Hi All,

One more thing... Is there any serial numbers on the engine block that would indicate year of manufacture?

Once again thanks,

Hi All, Quck question: I have a 1HDT powered BJ74, Is there any was of determining what year the engine was built? The motor was in the Middy when i got it and i do not know how old the engine is, I spoke to a spare parts bloke at my nearest Toyota dealership but he was unable to help me. I have bee...

Are you an accountant by any chance????? LOL

What would it take to fit the wider 60 series diffs on bj 74 series Mid Wheel Base? Would the benefits of the wider wheelbase outweigh the issues or difficulties in fitting the diffs in? Has anyone done this before?

Assuming it's the detroit type locker and it's only short trips between tracks etc. it shouldn't be a problem. Mate of mine has detroits front and rear, the rear has not given him any issues so far.... As long as you can get used to driving with one.....

Dave.
The 74 has lockable hubs. unfortunately i do not know too much about TOJO'S as it is my FIRST..(FINALY!!!!) and i bought it as is with the 1hdt and auto.

Thanks for the handy hints Andrew. The auto that sits in it is the 80 series that came with the motor. I'm not too familiar with the "rocking horse shit". Are you saying the TD flywheels are no good? I think i'll try to get the h150, sounds like a simpler transplant. What would I expect to pay for t...

i have a 74 series MWB with a 1HDT donk with an auto. Desperately want to convert to manual.... Any suggestions on which gear box would fit? Would a 60 series 5 speed bolt up ok?
