Yes. Loads of deletes. EGR is already gone! The donor motors that we have for rebuild mostly all had clogged intakes from the EGR.

It's easier/ harder all at once. The vacuum system at the front is repurposed for the engine mounts in the 200 series. The vacuum solenoid up top changes from Turbo use to the engine mounts. On the rear, the turbo vent piping is replumbed to...

Slow on updates... Again The VD fits so tightly... Even in the chassis intended for it. The turbo outlets/ inlets have actual reliefs in them for the steering shaft.... Have to install everything in order to make it fit! Had to make a slight...

Titanium

You most definitely should... The only reason that I've split the wires up like that is because the donor harness had some of the igniters cut out of it and a few other things. And I need to flip half of the harness over because I've made the...

With or without VD bell housing?

Sorry, the 151 is sold. Only 152s left now.

Oh boy... Yes, I DO have a lot of insight into this sort of swap. .the 76 frame will be between 10-50mm wider than the 77 frame will be, especially around the frame horns in the engine bay. Front mounts for the rad support are slightly...

To be clear, I tried every way until Sunday to fit them onto my DC... But unless you can get side window glass made ($1200+++ ea h pane) the there is no DC option.

Sadly, the vent window upgrade is only available for single cab and 2 door style 70s. The 4 door versions are 1.5" shorter than the 2 door, which makes them impossible. I think the 73/74 series folding windshield guys get the short end of the...

Slow as usual on my updates, as I'm trying to get it all done before our May long weekend here in Canada. Truck is on its own wheels all 4 corners, Engine rebuild going well. It's a 200 series 1VD, but for now, since the ECU is going to be my...

Typically for an owner who maintains it. So the cooling fan upgrade to 10 blade. Clutch fan upgrade, EGR delete, good exhaust and you're set.

I have two Hiaces with under 100k km in the shop right now with cracked heads.it doesn't take a lot, unfortunately..we've done 4 this year alone. Reach out to my partner at Hiyota Parts and he can get you what you need, tariffs prepaid.

since it's so tight, have a look at the two connectors that plug into the turbo to check that one isn't bent over or broken. They're hella fragile. on the front left side of the engine, above the AC compressor, there's a 6 wire plug there too...

Easiest thing to do is put a radiator pressure tester on and check the pressures. A normal pressure will be 5-7 PSI if lukewarm or even somewhat hot. IF it shoots over 13PSI or more when you rev it: bad headgasket, and 95% chance bad head. We've...

rear end shots. full up and ride height

Sorry Guys, I'm crap with the updates, but here goes---> - Rear links are all made, brackets on axle, Dobinson coilovers fitted. I had to fly to Aus to actually get these direct from the St.Kilda Dobinson dealer direct. got a free hoodie (jumpa)...

We've got a shipment of 1VDs in stock that are currently in the process of full rebuilds. Since this is a global site, do not automatically spam me with "this isn't legal in my state, etc". Offer void where prohibited, Some exclusions apply...

I just felt the need to pop.in amd let Brett know that this is 100% endorsed by me. There is always time and room for 40s be it Mickey Thompson or some Old E playing Edward 40 Hands
