No worries. Here is the one I fought Holset HE211W https://www.ebay.ca/itm/256102407412?epid=11056433458&hash=item3ba0e49cf4:g:-HUAAOSwcLxeu09T

Hey Jeri I have since sold the truck but the holset was great. Fast spoiling which makes it ideal for the gearing of the 2LTE. It’s a small turbo so fits easily.

Price drop to $25k Canadian / $18500 US

Testing the waters with my 1997, LN108 Hilux, SSR-X. I am the original importer from Japan. Truck is in excellent condition, at 250,000km, with no mechanical or electrical issues, no frame rust. Many upgrades and modifications done, to support longevity including: 2" OME lift, upgraded Holset...

Any idea when you will have more 612's in stock?

Not sure where you are located but I got the pneumatic air controller at princess auto in Canada a couple months ago. You need the controller itself, a filter, and then the hosing to install: https://www.princessauto.com/en/85-cfm-pneumatic-speed-controller/product/PA0008819765...

I replaced the stock ct20 on my 2LTE, when it finally died, with a holset he211. Great little turbo. As is mentioned in other threads some additional modifications are needed (intercooler, mods to overcome fuel cut etc.) but with those done I comfortably make around 24psi max boost, typically...

Hey all. I have read and learned lots from here. Just wanted to get a general consensus; are sustained pre turbo egt’s of 900-1000f, at highway speeds ok? I have read a lot of mixed messages with varying top end recommendations. Thanks

So I actually think I figured most of it out. It turns out that the vband clamp on my down pipe was warped (mechanic that installed the turbo used an aluminum clamp🤦‍♂️). This resulted in a small exhaust gas leak, which contributed to the increasing egt’s, lower boost, and power issues. Once I...

An additional thought would be maybe timing, as I don’t believe the timing was redone with the new turbo

Hey all, So I think my fuel pump may be going? Back Story: - I have a 1997 LN108 Hilux with 250k ish on the odometer - I have done the majority of recommended modifications including 2.5” exhaust, no egr, holset he211 turbo, front mount intercooler, and 10 blade fan - since installing the new...

Right on! I don’t tow with my hilux so will probably skip it then. With all of the mods I have been pretty happy. Since the new turbo install I consistently see max egt’s of about 450C, pre turbo, in overdrive, slogging up sustained steep hills at 115kph. It will be interesting to see what...

GTSSSportCoupe, just wanted to say thanks for all of your amazing posts about the 2LTE. I have done the majority of your recommendations with great effect, including egr delete, 2.5” exhaust, front mount intercooler, turbo upgrade (to a holset he211) with associated ECU “spoofing” to overcome...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I am actually just replacing the viscous hub as well. After doing some more research and looking closer it seems my alternator tensioning screw has broken, so the belts are loose, resulting in the water pump turning. Haha nothing is ever easy!!

Hey all, I am trying to replace the old radiator fan on my 2LTE with a 10 blade fan. I am having a heck of a time breaking the nuts because my water pump keeps moving when I try to break the nut. From every video I have watched on this it seems like the belts should be holding the water pump...
