    Light grey smoke under hard acceleration

    Hey guys, my 2lt has always been underpowered and weird. I was bored on the way home from work today and floored the truck at around 2300RPM. As usual it accelerated slowly up, as the boost slowly shot up past 8psi I noticed a massive grey cloud of smoke as if I veered into the bike lane and...

    mechanical pump to electronic pump?

    I have a roller rocker 2lt and I was wondering if it is possible to convert to an electronic pump? My reasoning is I hate fiddling with my truck and it's so underpowered for what it should be. I've already asked all the questions and gotten all the answers I can, and I suspect it's simply a...

    2L diesel swapped 1986 4Runner

    Finally pulled the truck out of hibernation and did all the check ups. Drives how it always does, makes okay boost, higher EGTs (750-850F) and doesn't really go anywhere. I've just accepted at this point I will never figure out the problem and it'll always be just a city cruiser.

    ACSD Removal 1HD-T

    Yes there's an arm inside the pump that pushes on the rotary collar (forget what's it's called) and advances the timing.

    Toyota 2L 3L 5L Turbo Install in Cabover Truck

    I had my manifold made up by a local fabricator, I recommend going the same route and it'll probably cost half the price

    2LT high EGT low power

    Well I haven't had much time to mess with the truck, but I tightened the wastegate as tight as it can go, and loosened the dynamic timing adjustment so I get more mechanical advance down low. Truck feels better by the seat of my pants. Thats good to know these engines are happy to rev. I think...

    BJ42 3B barely running

    I don't want to be a bearer of bad news... but..... Check your timing:/ I remember when my timing skipped and the valves bent, the exhaust got all loud, the intake got all loud, and I was chooching smoke like a young daddies money kid with somthin' to proove. However don't rule out the...

    2LT high EGT low power

    The turbo doesn't make more than 4 or so PSI even revving high unless I give it a lot of throttle

    2LT high EGT low power

    This is all new information to me. So basically I'm giving it too much fuel under low boost and not enough under high boost? I bought the turbo used, it blows a bit of oil idling and under load, could be a poor performing unit from age/use. I never rev it above 3000RPM, I get nervous when I...

    Toyota 2L 3L 5L Turbo Install in Cabover Truck

    Hey looking forward to following your build thread! I 2nd adding a boost compensator top. Makes the drive so much better with fuel control. It's actually quite easy to swap the top of the injector pumps. As for the intake ducting, it will be a tight fit, my ducting sticks up around 10cm...
