I was on another forum, but somehow i always found myself lurking over here, where the conversation seems a little more interesting.

i’ve had these two VSV sitting in a box for 6+ mo ths but as I chase down my idle issues I went ahead and replaced themas I am pursuing a possible vacuum leak. 4wd light is finally off so thats a win

Cheers

Happy Trails Ole Blue.

Post turbo is useless, pre turbo is where you want your pyrometer.

I would strongly recommend spending the extra effort to do a pre turbo install; post turbo numbers can vary wildly and are not nearly as useful for gauging how hard you're pushing the engine. The probe can be installed without removing the turbo...

Welcome aboard!

Welcome, fellow Aussie. There's a few of us that boot around here. Nice part of the country ya from, albeit dry at the moment. Looks kind of like a sandy colour, rare if it is. 🍻

Take a GPS and get elevation numbers.

I've tried to find an exact figure for a while and haven't been able to find anything that seems accurate.

yep he is a wizard, but still, the 3 turboed 2h s i have pulled all were cooked. head useless. The two non turboed, heads were ok.

Yeah he's been doing that for years, and yes they can make decent power as evidenced by many clips of said 2Hs on the drag strip. Not the sort of setup thats built for long term reliability though, short term fun is where there at. I think those...

IMO the only way to safely turbo an old IDI engine is to run low boost and no extra fuel. You will gain cleaner burn, a few percent efficiency/economy gain and cooler running engine. Any increase in fuel will increase engine loads and shorten...

Thanks @Indestructible 47 that was a good rig actually, good lean tune is absolutely mandatory and a cooling system that's absolutely in order before you start. Even with every possible precaution, the coolant temperature would always start to...

Had a few hours this morning. So made good use of it. Finished stripping the underbelly, wiping it down and spraying undercoating. Transtar is the product. Jason TT

A roller again. Jason

Going back together. Jason TT

Roger that, must have been another build I was thinking of that was using one of Noordeman's 'performance' grinds that allegedly offer a 30% power increase. (very very sceptical 😅) I've seen a few 2H that seem 'crisper' than others with no...

I'm not a fan of turbos on 2Hs and I dont have such a checklist.. but I'll contribute that the cooling system needs to be in tip top condition, a turbo will find every weakness in your engine. Viscous hub in very good working order Water pump...

Did I read somewhere that this had a Noordeman cam in it?

Well it appears I may have gotten ripped off. 3 Months and still no CNC valve cover. :bang::bang:

Shiny new badges! I love that "LandCruiser" font.. its perfect.

A turbo FZ with a properly sized turbo is very nice to tow with, nice torque delivery. The only observation (I've never had an auto Turbo 1FZ) is that 1st gear in the H151 would be nicer shorter towing heavy with the gearing disadvantage of 35s...

Frame is back from powdercoating. Might be a couple weeks before I get it rolling again. Jason TT

Road testing has commenced! 30klms today and a very limited list of issues to resolve so far: Fuel gauge not working Indicator auto cancel not reliable Driver's side quarter window wont open It feels so nimble on the road.. this 2H is a...
