A leak developed at the water pump. Turns out it's a bit of a bitch to get to so I started researching and collecting some parts for "while i was in there". Getting the pump off means alternator and timing belt and head cover have to come off...

Alright so heres the key to breaking 3b cranks, as I have done it twice now, once a tired motor, once a rebuilt motor. Both times, 14-18 psi of boost, intercooled, two different turbos Gt2560r, hx30. First had some timing added, second had...

No, that's not how it works. Adding nothing but boost will reduce heat in cylinder and reduce EGT.

First issue is that aint a diesel! ;) might have more luck asking around the 80 series forum for 1fz stuff

Ok, never mind. Just got a notice that the parts shipped.

Water cooled turbo is not essential, but is best practice. 3" exhaust with full flow mufflers along with turbo is the single biggest improvement you can make. Intercooler will net the most benefit once you are making 14 psi boost or above...

Getting Techstream up and running can be a bit of a pain. Hopefully this helps someone get started quickly. Step 1: Purchase an OBD-II / Mini-VCI interface. - I have sold out of my cables and supply chains are back in order, so no reason to...

I've never had to remove the oil filter. I've never really had much issues with those. I just use a couple different brand spanners that have different head angles. Also find flex head socket spanner can work too. Or even 1/4" drive extension...

Unlikely an auto hobby shop will have what you need to measure timing, but maybe. Agree with @KiwiDingo carefully mark s line across the pump/timing cover so you can reset timing back to where it is now if needed. Small adjustments can make a...
