Hi folks, I took the cig-light as the 12V-source. Wanted to run the pump only at key in "Start" mode to revent misuse in case somebody hits the switch coincidental and leaves the vehicle. The position of the pump on the frame can be seen in the attached slide show. I mounted it according to the...
It was a 230km trip back home - most of it on the autobahn. There was in the beginning a wobbling in the steering. It started 30km away from my final destination. More and more a smoke of burned metal came into the cabin. Pulled over imediately but the distorted wheel bearing misaligned the...
There is slight resitance but independent of engine the temperature - hot/cold same momentum. There is a bi-metal spring that open/close the valve - I have to investigate that and check for that pulling sound a start.
We cannot get the sustainable AISIN replacement on a good price over here...
Thanks a lot for your support. I am attaching a link showing some pics of the engine bay and the open radiator cap.

The coolant is obviously heavily corroded and some grumpy small particles are floating in...
Hi everybody, I crossed half of Europe, the Mediterrainean Sea and reached the Moroccan Atlas. What became obvious since riding the highways in south of Spain is the that the coolant temp rises on long-stretched up-hill sections.
Even more now in Morocco on the steep pass roads. It is 1/5 of the...
But that is HP at high rev means far away from starting to pull. What is needed when going up-hill is pulling force at low revs - imagine your vehicle is loaded and you want to climb a 30% ramp… then high torque at low rev starting close to idle (1000rpm) is what you want.
The 242kW appears at...
Torque = pulling force is the parameter to go and makes you not to die down up-hill. Has a trade-off already been made between a turbo-charged 1FZ-FE and a Cummins 6BT 5,9 Diesel swap in terms of tractive-effort? Withe the diesel there is 600Nm at low revs (440 lb-ft @ 1,600 RPM). This is why I...
I have some concerns on the reliability of such mods. E.g. my 1FZ-FE and all downstream components have 315t mls on the clock. With torque extraced from 600HP+ surviability is an issue. Think it implies a rebuilded engine, Auto, T-Case and may-be heavy-duty axles. What peak torque do you we...
I had a WA chat with them yesterday. Waiting for quote. They advised me to join the FB group “1FZ-FE Turbo Land Cruisers" already mentioned in this thread. Might provide more hints on the installation and the final power output.
With internally gated turbocharger kit, Haltech ECU package...
