Yes, I have a EGT gauge installed. I advanced my timing a lot and my exhaust is a short side-exit so this makes a big difference. Highest I've hit is 675 celsius pre-turbo without the intercooler. I already bought a intercooler and planning to plumb it before I turn up the pump more, but for the...

Will post a video on the full build soon.

Time for update. I've been driving to work and back for a some time now. All leaks and niggles are sorted. Turned up the injection pump a bit and boosting 16psi. She runs on fumes, cant believe how little fuel this engine is sipping. Power is really nice , much faster than the 3F after the small...

Ok so I took her out today. Power is a bit less than the 3F, almost on par, but not there at full throttle. I'm not worried, still very drivable. This is at 14psi boost and no smoke. I'll keep her like this for now until I can put in an exhaust and intercooler. Very happy with the swap so far 🥳🥳🥳

Almost time for the maiden voiage....

Only one same as mine buddy

Do you have a FJ62 with similar specs? Send pic of VIN or talk is cheap

yes, but not a FJ60, this is a FJ62

Anyone have on like it? (I'm in SA) FJ62 3F carb H41 trans 3.7 Gears Barn Doors Am I decoding wrong or what gives?

Small update. I moved her today to check clutch engagement. She moves without throttle up my driveway no problem 👍🏻

She's so tiny 😂😂😂

Ready to drop in, getting excited!

I'm running 4.11 should be good I hope 🤞🏻

Doing it this way, I get to keep using the original Toyota flywheel, clutch and bellhousing and not modify anything. Part swaps are then straight off the shelf.
