I'll try turning in the injector pump timing by a a 5th to see if is it's due to fuel time retard..

Thats cheap! I'll keep an eye on your build thread so get some idea's.

Sounds great, are you running it with an inter cooler? If so, what would you suggest- Air to air or glycol?

Thanks hzj79lee, I've checked all the timing marks on all the pulley's and they all line up good so it's got me stumped big time as to why it's running the way it is..

What turbo set up do you recommend for a 2006 HZJ78R with 30,000km's? I know the 1HZ has it's limits but I really want more power and can't afford to up grade to a HDJ78 at the moment.

Brand new filters all round. Really trying to avoid the rip off diesel mechanics who charge over $100 per hour and put the 2nd year apprentice in charge of the repair! But if all else fails then it looks like I'll have no choice.

OK, I blanked off the vacuum hose from the EGR valve but it made no difference? Still runs rough and blows rich smoke..Bugger!

Yep, My house is 400 meters from the beach. Why do u ask?

I'm in Cairns, Australia.

Thanks, I'm in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

do I blank off the lines at the vacuum pump, blank the exhaust return and disconnect the plugs from the unit behind the glove box ? Will this bypass/eliminate the entire EGR system? (I need to physically make it look like it's still there in case of road side inspection).

How do I bypass it completely so I can atleast test the engine before I replace the solenoid?

Unfortunately It needs to pass a government road worthy before it can be registered so I'll have to replace it for now and then blank it all off after it's registered.

Excellent hzj79lee! Thats exactly the info I needed. I'll replace the solenoid in question and let you know how it goes.

Thanks jb BJ73, No, There's no elec timing control on the later 1HZ's.
