Not sorted yet I’m 450kms from the nearest dyno so haven’t been back, I called Gturbo and they advised to check pump timing I’ve done this it’s set to 1.43mm wich is max factory advance, I’m going to get back there mid this year as I’m off to the canning stock route later on and want it right...

I called HPD they said ABS is uncommon and they understood it wouldn't fit (I have 2x 95 80 series and both have ABS) they said send a photo and they would help, well I did and followed up to see if they got it but to this day no response, so I made my own bracket coming off the factory cruise...

Well been down on the Gturbo dyno 142kw @ all 4 on 285/75/16s torque was 460nm, very happy with low down response it's a huge improvement over standard, fuel usage with no camper but roof rack 14lt/100 camper trailer on 17lts/100 happy with that. Max boost is only 18 psi @ inlet manifold thought...

Yep lesson learnt tried to take a shortcut and as usual not so short , the dyno day has to be brought forward a week so I'm now rushing I was only notified yesterday so I didn't want to temp fait with broken manifold studs and no time to fix them.

Too far in now to turn back ... Progress is good Grunter fitted (I didn't take the exh manifold off but next time I will) the heater hose steel pipe that runs behind the turbo turned at the union where it comes out the front of the block, I don't know what sort of joint it is hoping it's an...

Terrain tamer do a premium quality kit here in Aus, the only thing they don't come with is the spindle bushes but I believe that some guys are upgrading these to the 100 series needle bearings that don't wear out as quick could be the opportune time to research and fit them, looks like...

Well ordered a Grunter extreme today, fitting all of the good stuff in early September then towing my camper to Perth (400km) for dyno tune by Gturbo then off for a 2 week holiday shakedown with the family can't wait.

If your buying genuine seals, gaskets and clean everything nice with the surfaces flat it will be fine without sealant, if you keen on Toyota sealant I use 08826-00080 Black oil pan sealant it is designed to seal the sumps with no gasket at all so it is awesome, But I'm not familiar with the...
