that exhaust cam is toast. The intake MIGHT clean up. Pitting on the base circle of the cam you can get away with but anything on the lobe can cause you issues. used cams arnt that expensive. I know somebody that might have one. Keep going on...

@TheBussman this is a good trick and is how I put a barb on the end of the trans cooling lines and on both ends of the 1/2” fuel supply line. I hadn’t tried this on the steel lines but I will today before making the trip to summit for an AN...

Just an example of what a reputable business will do; I am eating $15k on a job right now which may go to $20k. I feel it is due to subcontracts and overseas parts. However, it’s my business and it went through me with my recommendations to the...

95+ would actually be preferred so that i can use my 95+ tach also. anybody have a lead? landcruiser heaven says that have several but can't be bothered to find them or give me a price...

i reused the 1fz hard lines. They are alot different then the 1hd lines. I could get the front factory bracket to work with a little bending but that's it. Had to custom make a bracket at the rear of the engine that hangs off one of the oil pan...

no need to worry about the threading. cut off the tube and use a flaring tool to make a bead on tube. the GM style fuel fitting flare tooling works the best but the 1st stage of a double flare or a bubble flare also works fine. it's just a return...

I did unplug the coil from the distributor and its power cable. Thanks.

doesn't rule out wastegate, drive pressure or boost leaks. Turbo might not be a good fit for your use if everything else checks out.

At first i was thinking Fahrenheit but your probability talking Celsius temperature measurement. you could still go a tough more if its not too smokey. Worth a boost leak and drive pressure test. Check that there is enough preload on the...

turn up the fuel

did you unplug or ground the coil during the compression test? if not its hard on the coil and can make them fail.

Found the original copper brass one in a storage box! I am going to look at having it re-cored out of town.

need a new complete cyl head, pistons, connection rods, manifolds, injector lines and drill a few holes in the block to get it to match.

What's that old saying...? "If it ain't broke, fix the hell out of it while you're in there and don't forget to change your head gasket"? I'd keep a spare (OEM), but if the one you have is running fine - leave it alone.

reman toyota or denso.

A reman Toyota is only like $130

Mishimoto has been pretty good for me. is your current rad brass/copper? if so you might have it re-cored. pretty sure last 93 surf i had in the shop was copper/brass.

price drop

slightly loose heat sleeve tubing should have better insulating qualities then a tight wrap. The air gap helps with heat.

or use a 1fz lid, and 90 elbow. seems like it would flow more air then a 1HD lid and needs the taller stud. I don't have a 1fz lid so my airbox has 2 used shock bushings on it as a temp setup until i decide what I'm going to do with the airbox.

1HD-FT pump even if it bolts on i wouldn't try to run it on a 1hz. the injector pressures are way higher on a FT. 1hz pump should be cheaper too

Going into my case soon for a gear ratio change. i would love to loose the electric actuator, looking at the diagram about half of the parts in the shifter diagram are different electric to direct shift... if i didn't care about having to move...

So it's definitely doable, but this one got shelved as I got busy with other stuff / got bored and chased the next shiny thing that crossed my field of vision. I plan to go back to it. My main workbench currently looks like this: I did do a...

We're going back 15+ years here. Knowing how I think and what I was trying to do back then I'm fairly certain I left the 1FZ ECU in place and fed a tach signal into the distributor wiring. So whatever wiring was there between the ECU and trans...

thanks, even though the stock one wasn't shifting right behind a cummins you got it to run without error codes? if so what were you feeding the "neo" circuit with? Interested in the megasquirt, everybody I know that's tried one for engine...
