    1HD-FTE into a 105 + build up for expedition

    Hi Mattr, I gave up is the short answer. After I put my plan together, and finally found an engineer to look at it, there were too many things for him to care about it because he was busy. The majority of the issues, were QLD specific, of course QLD doesn't strictly follow the NCOP and have...

    Rust - lessons learned

    That looks like a great system, but with local dry ice costing about $5 per kilo, and a feed rate of 1.1kg/m this means over $300 per hour just for ice. I have found a local company that offers the system so have requested a quote to see if the costs are better than this. Thanks for the link.

    Rust - lessons learned

    Agreed. The killer with automotive rust is the folds, tack welded sheets, and laminations that don't flex/move independently and hold moisture. In regard to the last point, in my cruiser there are a number of internal panels (seat backs, under the door panels, etc) that have no paint on...

    Rust - lessons learned

    There is, it just costs too much time and money. :cry: A full stainless body and chassis is possible, just not with the contents of my wallet. No, I still haven't got around to it. The rust guard is working well in the doors though - it hasn't peeled, cracked or allowed water to get in...

    deal on a bj42 with no power steering

    Hi everyone, I have just done a deal on a bj42 4 speed with no power steering. So great vehicle, but it doesn't have the LX bits that would make it awesome. I currently have a HJ61 with 12HT, power steering, and H55F that looks like it wants a new home in the BJ. The H55F has been rebuilt and...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    I just spoke to one of the guys at East Coast Customs at Northgate, I called today and they called me back at 5:10 on Friday afternoon - I can't believe it, they'll get my business just for that. Their prices are reasonable and transparent too, which is refreshing. They are Unichip dealers and...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Locked79 thanks for the info, what chip did you use? I have been trying to find a supplier and it looks like many are no longer selling programmable or piggy back chips for the 1HD-FTE anymore. Also, were the injectors replaced or just modified?

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    "Equipped" and 1HZ in the same sentence is a bit much:cool: - I remember reading your build thread a year or two back now, has the 12HT given you any problems? Part of the reason for this thread was that I was hoping to find an engine that I could use to power the 105, and then do a like swap...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Thanks for the extra info, I had a look at your thread too - good work. If you decide to put a stainless snorkel on your HZJ105, I have spent some time working out how to minimise parts and stop water getting through the pipe and destroying the paper filter element. I have settled on not...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Hahahahaha :rofl::rofl:- I got my fully loaded HJ61 airborne the other day because of this and some inappropriately spaced bumps on an access track. It seems every time I take a cruiser to a 2 banana mechanic it comes back with problems that I then have to fix - I'm getting pretty tired of...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Mudgudgeon, I don't believe an apples to apples comparison is possible between a 100 series and a BJ42. My experiences with the two engines/vehicles are: 13B-T: Throttle response is strong but not brutal, and steady torque curve up to about 1850rpm, then falls away Pushing a 1900kg vehicle...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    I have found plenty of 1HD-FTEs, they are not in short supply, but everyone thinks that they are made of gold and are trying to sell them for premium dollars even though in most cases they have done more than 250k and are being sold with no service and prior ownership information. I did searches...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Hi Mudgudgeon, thanks for your response. I hear you about the 1HD-FTE. I have to say that there are a lot of things I don't like about the IHD-FTE engine. I know a lot of people think they are great, but I have driven a couple of friends' vehicles off road on technical (slow) tracks and they...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    bjowett, I have looked at the Hinos and Isuzus too - that's where I started. The decision to go with one of the more recent engines is because the laws here require that an engine fitted to a vehicle has to be manufactured during the manufacturing years of the vehicle model. So in this case...

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Oh yeah another question: 9. Old school diesels can be boosted and over fueled to increase power - are there similar mods that work with electronic diesels or am I stuck with flashing the ECU or getting a piggy back chip to do the work?

    Electronic Diesel Swaps - questions

    Hi everyone, After reading the threads on various 4 cylinder swaps for LCs I've given up trying to find a all mechanical solution for the J105, and am looking at either the Mitsubishi 4M50 or 4D34T. Both of these are electronically controlled and even though I have worked with electrical and...

    Can I flip the front drive shaft?

    Hi everyone, I have been putting up with a really irritating grinding noise in the front diff for ages and like many people on this forum have not been able to resolve it. I've tried many of the tips suggested in a number of the threads, but its still there and driving me mental. So I pulled...

    Anyone fitted a yanmar mech fuel pump to 1HD-FTE

    The fuel quantity really isn't the issue in my mind - its just the stupid copper wires coming out of it, that you have to connect to a ECM/ECU. Thanks for the fuel volume figures. In reality I won't be trying to get more than 175-180 HP or 500NM of torque out of the engine. Even with that the...

    Anyone fitted a yanmar mech fuel pump to 1HD-FTE

    That's good to know, thanks. Do you know what the pressures are for each?
