Great info! I really appreciate it. Its Interesting that my pump was set to about factory, I'm also using eBay special Chinese calipers so we're probably pretty close hah!
I turned it up about a 1/8th turn and noticed a nice little bump in power, I'll wait for the intercooler to go any...
I measured today and mine was set at 2.8mm, right at the top end of the OEM recommend adjustment. Do you mind measuring what your screw is at so I have an idea on where I'm at in the "full turn"?
Hey all,
Quick question. I'm wanting to replace my engine mounts with some heavy-duty ones in my Toyota pickup, I'm looking at the ones from 4xinnovations, I've heard the OEM ones have issues ripping in certain circumstances. The pickup has a 2L-TE turbo diesel in it that uses the same engine...
Good to know! Trail-Gear makes some HD versions that they call "Bomb Proof", they do use a polyurethane isolator, I'm sure I'd get a lot more vibration in the cab. Maybe worth a shot
Thanks! I spent the last 3 years living out of a 7.3l powerstroke powered home on wheels and learned a lot from that truck. Planning is key, especially with the remote places I go. I don’t have a blog, but I do have an Instagram and a website that I update regularly. www.BasilLynch.com...
I wish I could flip the air intake to the other side, but I have a snorkel that's installed on the driver's side of the engine bay and I'm actually planning on using it down south! It helps a ton with the dust in Baja. I think I'm going to go with a water to air intercooler system and use the...
Glad to hear you you’ve gotten temps that high without issue, I’ll be a little less nervous at higher temps now! Hah
I’ve looked at those barrel style intercoolers and they seem like a good option, I’ve measured and can fit one where the OEM charge pipe crosses the valve cover if I remake the...
I need to go shoot more with the camper on the back, we just got it a few weeks ago and have been in lockdown ever sense. I've got a bunch of older ones over on my Instagram www.instagram.com/basillynch
My girlfriend and I are big surfers, so we will be going down Baja and then taking the ferry over to Mainland. I spent 4 months last winter in Baja and can't wait to go back.
I should have probably been a little clearer, I'm seeing coolant spikes up to about 220f, which isn't crazy, especially with a 88c thermostat that doesn't fully open until about 103c. I believe my cooling system is pretty stout, I have a new 76mm aluminum radiator + shroud, fan clutch mod with...
I’ve done all of that except switch to a different fan, I’m still researching which one I’ll go to, but the one you’re running seems to be the good option. I’ll have access to machining equipment in a few weeks and can get a different fan and make the correct fan spacer then!
Hey all,
Just wanted to share the current build I'm working on, I'm planning on driving this truck down the Pan American Highway this fall (COVID-19 dependant) and will be spending about a year and a half on the road. Wall-E is a 1991 Toyota Pickup that had a 2.4l 2L-TE turbo diesel swapped...
Thanks for the speedy response! I was planning on tuning by smoke/EGT's but just wanted to know how much I was turning it up for peace of mind. That Injection pump spec sheet would be awesome to have
I've read a few of your tuning guides and am looking forward to getting a little more power and...
Hey all,
Does anyone know if the fuel adjustment screw bottoms out at a factory setting, or can it be turned below what it was set at by Toyota?
The previous owner of my truck adjusted the fuel screw but I don't know by how much, I'm adding an intercooler in a few weeks and want to know what...
Yes, I believe we’re talking about the same bolts. Photos are attached below. I have new metal washers coming, not gaskets, hopefully it’s an easy job.
Thanks! It’s taken a lot of work to get it to where it’s at today, but I’m super happy with it!
After de-greasing again and going for a drive I’m pretty sure it’s coming from one of the vertical bolt heads in the bottom of the cooler. I’ve got new gaskets coming this week and I’ll swap them...
Hey all,
I've got an oil leak coming from my oil cooler on my 2L-TE. I've already ordered the gaskets for the 3 vertical bolts (90430-18001) and two inner oil cooler to housing gaskets (15785-54010) but am having a hard time finding the larger oil cooler to block gasket (15692-54050) without...
Curious about that 5L fan, was the upgrade worth it? Is it any bigger than the OEM 2LTE one?
I've got a 2LTE myself I've been building up to drive down the Pan American highway
