Winner winner! Fuel wasnt primed. I tried using the hadn primer on the fuel filter and that didnt work...tried cracking a few of the injectors and tried cranking a couple times. Just would not work and work the air out. So...this is what i did. I took a brake bleeder, hooked it up to the outlet...

LN107 3L motor/turbo Need help trying to trouble shoot. No start. Will crank but wont fire I had initially thought it was the fuel cut solenoid (i know...dumb, should have looked at fuses). Turns out i popped the ignition fuse. My ground wire from the RHD side battery to motor, was pretty...

Just an update. couple things. The turbo worked great-ish. These have no get up without a turbo. I had a bad manifold leak and the truck had no power. Fixed that and its very noticeable. So i cant imagine having it without a turbo at all. So when i got this truck, the oil return was piped into...

Sorry for the delay in response. I did. It was the master cylinder. I typically start with the lowest cost culprit and work my way up from there. I replaced the slave cylinder and it didnt fix it. Replaced the master and its good as new.

Currently have a ct20 and manifold from a 2lte take off. But im still gettin blow by. Anyone run a garrett GT2554RGT2554R I can find a manifold pretty easily for this as well as a dump pipe. So im thinkin about doin it.

its the 3L, but the turbo is a ct20 setup was a take off from a 2lte. Works great. Once im done with a current project im probably going to change it up. Just clean everything up a bit. Ill take some pics when i get a chance and send em to you if youd like.

Tried adjusting the master cylinder. Same symptoms. Itll shift into 1st ok now but reverse no. So im going to replace the cylinder and hope this fixes it.

whats the 151 benefit over the g52?

LN107 '97 hilux

97 Hilux LN107 298,000km Starting to have a lot of trouble shifting into reverse or will grind, and trouble shifting into 1st sometimes now as well. Im guessing i need new synchros. Anyone know where to source any? Or a whole transmission. I really dont want to rebuild the trans but i also...

Man, i was really hoping some of the excessive smoke was maybe from a faulty glow plug, but its been running fine. Besides a few intake issues (some stuff not capped off etc) its been running fine. So i did some investigating. All glow plugs are fine, and pulled the intake off the turbo...and...

No more oil blow by after some c-clamps on the intake and the valve cover. And it actually seems like its running cooler ET's...

And by capped off, i mean i capped the intake nipple off and zip tied it. And zip tied the hose from the valve cover. Ill report back with some photos.

Capped em off, with a little bit of a janky zip tie solution. But heading to the auto parts store here shortly to get what i need to do it properly. Thanks Gents! Wealth of knowledge.

Nope. Just took the photo as is. Does appear that way doesnt it? Most diagrams ive looked at it appears that is supposed to be routed to the valve cover (cylinder cover)...but i cant tell for sure.
