Indestructible 47
SILVER Star
Hey there fellas,
This thread is about my 1hd fte equipped hdj79. I am always looking to increase my knowledge, and i am going to post what i do with the motor and how it performs here so i can get feedback, and others can follow along. Some basic specs on the motor as it stands:
Rebuilt 10k ago, was a perfectly good motor prior to rebuild
3" straight through exhaust
Safari armax snorkel
Eventually i would like to do some serious performance mods to this thing, namley a PDI 76mm intercooler and a gturbo, and +70 injectors in the hope of 1000+nm. I will also like to have an adjustable tune, so i can tune it back at the twist of a knob or push of a button, so that i can run lower boost levels for day to day driving and if others drive the ute. I plan on doing the mods properly and not on the cheap, so this is going to be long term.
Next mod i will be doing is a egr delete. My question is, can i drill the egr delete plate exhaust side for a egt probe, and will this be a accurate reading spot? I realise that i need the probe pre turbo for a reliable reading.
This is the oil colour after 2000ks:
so, looks to be a healthy motor if this is a good indication
