@mudgudgeon 's EGT install (post #39 if it doesn't take you straight there.) https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/rolling-the-dice-slow-moving-turbo-hzj105-project.967105/page-2 I think I copied it for mine and it worked out well.

Yup, there's plenty of meat there. Obviously remove the manifold to do it so you're not raining swarf into the turbo...

Just above the turbo flange there's a good spot to drill and tap... and yes, needs a larger hole in the heat shield.

Your proposed setup (and location) are very similar to mine... minus the 'F' and the airbox/snorkel mods - the CT26 turbo intake necks down to less than 3" anyway, so other than getting rid of the flattenned airbox lid I'm not looking at intake mods beyond the current Safari until FMIC (tossing...

https://www.tillix.com.au/product/boost-comp-control-spring/ This has been mentioned here before... and I think the vendor may even be a member. Not sure if we've had any user experience reported back as yet, but it was on my list.

Just read the whole thread from post #1. This build is equal parts inspiring and intimidating! Incredible work, especially given the personal/physical obstacles you've faced. It's looking very close, and I can't wait to see the final details ticked off. I also need to pull my finger out and...

It certainly ain't... they don't like us welding to chassis down here... (not that it stops some of us... sometimes...)

You're right. Core the other way up and your outlets would be bang in line with the chassis rails. It looks clumsy, but is much less work to fit than the DPi version which requires cutting and is very crowded behind the indicators. I'd be worried about the vulnerability of those front loops...

OK, thankyou for that! Will have to go hassle them when I'm home in the new year. Let us know how you go with the install!

Hmmm... interesting. So same size core, but apparently v2 core. Photos show two completely different coolers, the end tanks at least having different in/out locations: I'm glad I live local (sometimes) and could actually drop in and ask/see... but to be honest with no local listing, and no...

Epic thread @TYM4FUN - just a lost a whole morning reading from the start, and don't regret a minute of it. Your thoroughness and attention to detail are equal parts inspiring and shaming! Congrats on an awesome job, and I'm so glad you are now able to enjoy the rewards. So when is turbo...

Where did you find this? It's not on their website or eBay au. Any specs? Looks like it could be the same kit, just with the core photographed upside down?

https://peconline.com.au/products/vm-front-mount-intercooler-kit-for-toyota-landcruiser-80-series-4-2l-1hdt-h-1hz Lists piping as 2" & 2.5" Confirms core size as 450x300x76.

Of course I see this now... until yesterday I was sort of living in the next suburb. Will have to stick my head in next year when I'm 'home' again. It looks like a tidy kit, though the core is slung low (vulnerable? Blocked by the front cross member when reinstalled?) and a result looks to...

One turn of the blower pulley - usually smaller diameter than the crank pulley driving it, so less than one turn of the engine. 😉 (Assuming 100% efficiency of the impeller mechanism blah blah blah) I admit I am guilty of over-thinking the pipe volume = lag silliness. It's not like I'm building...
