Conversion completed - LC is running great!
:beer::beer::beer:
Oh yes, finally its all done. The mechanical pump is in, the linkage is build and in place and I have my LC back on the road (nothing wrong with my Jeep YJ, but with a soft-top in the Canadian winter, a big dog, propane bottles...
Could someone post a photo of the manual pump installed? We have to fabricate new linkage for the pump. The electronic pump is totally different and there's quite a bit of modification to the linkage necessary. A photo would be great help.
I'd also consider buying a non working manual pump for...
right on, you guys convinced me... I'll find my "old" injection pump and put that in. I'll keep you posted if and when its up and running. thanks again!
so its possible? just use the mechanical pump, disconnect the crank sensor, no ECU and be done with? that easy... sounds good to me, especially since I have the mechanical pump from my old engine.
thx!
Thanks for the info! I'd love to get rid of the electronics, but can I?
A few years back when I did the conversion someone wrote me this:
The 2LTII is the same as the 2LTE except that the 2LTII has a manual injection pump and the 2LTE has an electronic injection pump. Hence no mount for your...
RE: Toyota LandCruiser Prado EX5 Turbo Diesel EFI LHD
History:
In February of 2007 I converted my LC from the original 2LT engine to a 2LT-E. This was because of a cracked head/overheating issue and at that time I could not find the exact same engine. Between my mechanic and myself...
Hello Brownbear, yes I'm trying to go with the EFI...
... AND I'm happy to report the LC is running excellent now. After 7 months and so many comments that it will never work with the EFI, it's running really good.
Yesterday I've modified the pulley with the sensor trigger, so that I can...
Good suggestions. I've been experimenting with the length of the trigger piece and adjusted the width, lenght and height. It's quite the process as I have to take the pulley off every time and adjust the whole set-up. There are slight differences, but I think I've got the trigger just right. At...
Finally an update and a few more questions regarding my LC conversion from a
2LT-E to a 2LT.
I needed to replace the engine in my 1990 Prado EX5 and ordered a used engine from Japan. Received a wrong engine twice and after months of searching and waiting I've decided to go with the 2LT. At the...
Thanks Johnny!
The manuals would be great. I'm driving the 5 spd, so transmission should not be an issue. At least one positive thing. I've talked to my mechanic today, who transfered the engines and he seems to think he can get the 2L-t working with the EFI. I'm not sure about it. Rather go...
I'm slowly getting the picture... we've used the electronic fuel pump on the "wrong" 2L-T engine. I have the pump that came with the 2L-T orginally and I should use that one. That's why we can't locate the space for the crank angle sensor.
So yes Johnny, the pump that's in the Prado now has...
Should there be a plug in the block? I just can't find the location... the drawing of the sensor location in the manual isn't much help either, as its not very clear (might be better in the actual hardcover manual).
Any hint to where I should look for it would be great. I've googled for hours...
One more question re: Injection Timing for the 2L-T
The manual says:
2. Adjust Injection Timing
(a) Remove the cylinder block insulator
(b) Loosen the bolt holding the injection pump
(c) Loosen the 2 nuts holding the injection pump to the timimg gear case
(d) Align the punching line and upper...
Yes, that is the new one...
so everything might be running ok then and I'm just noticing the difference in power. Guess I'll drive it for a while and see if I can live with it.
One more question: Is the 2L-T just as prone to the head cracking and overheating issue as the 2L-TE engine?
Very interesting BJ44... almost suspected something like that: running in safe mode.
I have replaced the engine and the new "used" engine, I've imported from Japan had no mounting point for the crank angle sensor. Everything else was fine. The engine runs fine, except the power loss issue...
Hi guys, I'm new to the forum as a member but been browsing for a while....so finally my first post:
I bought a Toyota LandCruiser Prado EX5 Turbo Diesel EFI LHD about a year and a half ago and had to change the engine. It's finally all done and the LC is up and running again. Really the only...
