Hi all,
I usually hang out in the land cruiser forums but I've run across a 1998 4Runner that I might be able to pick up for a couple hundred dollars. It's sitting on a foreclosure property outside of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It's in excellent condition with no rust, body damage or anything...
1) EGT's maxed out around 900*F vs 1200*F now
2) Dieseler, you mean there's not a hill around that you can't take in 5th gear!!! Wow, you must have got the special engine. Seriously though this engine is a transplant w/ about 300,000 k on it now.
3) Tapage the gauge, kit and mounting cup list...
Isspro Turbocator. Beautiful gauge. 3" face, premium quality. Absolutely you have to have a pyrometer. I couldn't believe how fast and extreme the temperatures would increase. Flat ground no load caused the highest temps in a nanosecond. Do not do this mod without a good gauge. I've dialed...
If you haven't done this mod yet...do it!! I can't believe the difference in performance! Feels like I've gained 40 H.P. Hills that had me hunting between 3rd & 4th gear I now fly up in 5th! It's unbelievable. And my mileage has increased by about 3%. A lot less throttle to do the same...

ProActive Auto in Calgary does any work on my 86 HJ60 w/ 12H-T that I don't do myself. Mike is great. You can tell by all the Cruisers in the yard, they know their stuff.

So over the past couple of years the output from both front and back heaters has been dwindling. Original heater cores with 500,000 kilometres on them. And then late last year I started getting the dreaded antifreeze mist on the inside windows and then a week ago our temperatures plummeted to...
