G'day all. I've got a question about the swivel hub shims on a HZJ79. I'm aware that for the earlier hubs there is a tool for measuring the required number of shims top and bottom to locate the CV shaft in the inner seal so it doesn't wear prematurely or fail to seal entirely. Is there...

I'm not sure sorry Onur, I should be able to find out if required?

G’day everyone. Have a question about 1hz Conrod bearings. I bought a 2003 HZJ79 a little while ago, it had been rolled and they had attempted to start it with oil on top of the pistons and bent one rod and wrecked that piston. I’ve bought a new genuine piston. The rods I have, have ‘7202’...

Hey mate, I'lltake it if you can post it to Australia?

Thanks for the offer mate, I'm in Australia though so it might be a bit expensive to ship.

I've sent @thegogglesdonothing a PM, but would anyone happen to know what the airbox is out of?

$100AUD plus post? It will probably be around Christmas time before I get home and get a chance to pull it off though. I put a 15bf and h55 in my HJ47 ute, it's definitely a good combination. But the box is leaking big time, so my plan was to be able to rebuild a spare (I have a couple of 2h...

I could probably send you one from Australia, shipping might be a bit on the expensive side though. You wouldn't happen to have a 3b/h55 input shaft?

I'll try some good quality new ones first, but after that I think that would be the way to go. The 15b-fte is rated at 118kw@3200 and 382nm@1800, compared to a 1hdfte(ute) with 122kw@3400 and 380nm, I reckon they'd push an 80 around pretty well (The 15b-ft is probably slightly less, can't seem...

They're reasonably smooth and quiet for a 4 cylinder. It does have an annoying vibration come through the steering wheel at low revs, and rattles the mirrors pretty well at idle. In saying that though, it has very old, stiff rubber engine mounts. It's pretty quiet, quieter than the 2h it...

Pretty sure thats a 15b-ft, the fte's had a different valve cover, as you can see here. The couple of 15b-ft's I've seen photos of have inline pumps. Should be a good conversion. I have a 15bf (non-turbo...for now) in a HJ47 ute. It gets 12.5l/100km (18.8MPG US) @110km/hr (68MPH) with a h55...

OK too easy, I'll have a look at Suoerhatch's build. Thanks Pacer and Fromage. Good to know about the Td04, sounds like an ideal match for a ~4L motor.

Thanks for the update mate, picture would be great! It's good to see that it's been working well for you. How has the fuel consumption been? What size turbine housing does the tdo4 have on it, a 6cm? And how early do you see boost with it? (Considering a td04hl-19t for my 15b). I'm considering...

Hey Fromage, any updates on the conversion? I know it was a fair while ago now, I just though it'd be interesting to see how it has performed in the long run. Love all the info, especially about the aw450/a442 Thanks, Sam

Thanks cbmontgo, I'll keep the thread updated as I go along
