Hey there,
I'm searching for a high mileage / blown 12h-t to rebuild. Long block is fine.
If you know of one or have one to sell, please let me know.
Thanks!

Hey friends,
I got my passive water/meth injection system going on my 12h-t and it is certainly a treat watching EGTs go down or only rise by 1-2 degrees at a time on long inclines. :)
Prerequisites:
1) A device that triggers a relay on high EGTs (I'm using an Auber SYL-2813 )
2) A fogging...
Hey friends,
A few weeks ago, I returned from a run and realized I had lost the entire tensioning assembly from the smog pump bracket. A temporary fix was applied with baling wire ;) which worked fine. While the bolt was still available from Toyota, the funky nut which consists of a nut...
Hey friends,
Just got back from a forest road trip and realized my water pump pulley adjustment bolt had decided to go bushcrafting. ;) What's interesting is that the engine temperature is fine (belt is fully loose) and I've gained 2-3 mpg.
In any case, does anyone have the measurements on...
Hello again,
One more thing... has anyone installed the HPD intercooler kit for the 6xs? Seems small but I'm used to Supra 7M-GTE sized intercoolers. :)

Hey friends,
While searching around for 12H-T tuning info, I found this 1HDT guide - Basic HOW TO - Mechanical Diesel Engine Tuning Guide
I have no experience with 1HDT's so YMMV etc. ;)

Hey friends,
I'm selling the 2F, 4 speed, and transfer case (38mm) complete (217k) from my 10/85 FJ60. This is @slacker24-7 's old girl and the drive train is in great shape. Why am I selling the drive train? I'm converting her to an HJ-61 drive train :).

Hey friends,
My son and I are embarking on a 2400 mile road trip next week to bring @slacker24-7 and subsequently @LoRide's '85 up from Arkansas to Seattle...yes this is the reason for the experimentation with the hand throttle ;). She'll be getting a once over from the mechanic prior to...
Hey friends,
Given that the OE hand throttle is hard to find / crazy expensive, I'm looking for an alternative. What do you all think about this one --- fits perfectly into the stock hole.

Fit pictures below.

Hey friends,
I'm researching water injection (fairly old technique - piston driven warplanes used it in ww2) where a very fine mist of water is sprayed into the intake to cool the temperatures / effectively increasing octane. Has anyone tested this yet...
