    Hilux 1998 Hilux Tracker SR5 from Portugal

    The downside is that the engines we've got here are normally "weak" powerwise comparing to your V6's and bigger. And petrol is expensive comparing to diesel... But you have awesome trucks also, I've seen a Dodge RAM that was enormous comparing to my tiny Hilux, and the Ford F150 looks great too...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    It's actually a good spot to connect a boost gauge :)

    Hilux 1998 Hilux Tracker SR5 from Portugal

    Thanks! ;) After some studying and discussing here in the forum already, I have decided on what to do power-wise to the truck. So, I'll turn my presentation topic into my build thread. Well, these are the mods soon-to-be-installed, in this order (step by step, as this may get a little...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    Hi Nick, About the project thread, I've thought about it, and was just looking to decide myself on some details, such as the muffler and WAIC positioning in the engina bay. Removing the EGR was only an option if I was forced to hide the WAIC, but I'll try my luck and put it where I have the...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    I've been studying those manuals, and I've found this: After some time with a mechanic that is a good friend of mine, we found the VSV that supplies vacuum to the EGR system: I've decided to go with just two blanking plates in the intake and exhaust - he told me that in annual vehicle...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    Knowledge is power. Thanks man! Well, worst case scenario I'll just remove the main EGR components (need the space behind the engine for the WAIC) and leave the electronics alone. I guess those won't get in the way of some extra boost :)

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    I've downloaded these manuals too but didn't find anything specific on the EGR subject. The RM582E has indeed some pages on the fuel pump that are specific for my engine. Back to the search then. Also, I don't see from the outside anything restricting airflow or blocking the intake manifold...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    That was the main reason for buying this specific truck - the less electronics, the better, easier to tamper with :) I didn't take a picture of the pump (those pics are 2 weeks old), I'll try to take a decent one. But yes, I expect it to be mechanical. Speaking about the service manual, I've...

    Ideas for improving the 2LTE

    Nick, excelent topic and info, very well fundamented and explained :clap::clap: Despite having a 2L-T in my Hilux, these infos (or most of them) apply to my engine. Good thing that I did not give up on it for a 1KD-FTV, it seems that we can extract some good power out of the 2L-T. However...

    Hilux  1998 Hilux Tracker SR5 from Portugal

    Hi everyone! :) I just joined the forum, so as my first post here I'm presenting myself. I'm Rui, from Portugal, and I'm beginning my "adventure" in the off-road world. I am an automotive engineer, addicted to cars and motorcycles (I guess it can't be helped :D). I bought an euro spec Toyota...
