This is very cool thanks @AmirTroopyNZ .
I loaded them into blender and the align very well. Have you ground-truthed the measurements (scale)? They look correct just want to be sure.
I don't know if you have seen this video:
Obviously its a marketing video but I think it shows the best demonstration of the Torsen on a 4x4 in real world I have seen on YouTube.
I don't think they are any less/more expensive than Harrop TrueTrac: Detroit Truetrac | Toyota | 8" | Front | 30...
I am not sure when this popped up but it looks like Nitro Gear have finally made a Torsen/worm gear/TrueTrac differential center for the Toyota 9.5": Nitro-Gear.com - https://www.nitro-gear.com/category-s/1785.htm.
Also a few other new Toyota models: Nitro-Gear.com -...
Hi,
I have one of these on my HDJ78 (the username is old). Did anyone manage to save that 'Final vehicle fitment info REV3 - Troopy.pdf' file? its gone from their website but want to keep a copy.
Thanks
Thanks BeratE,
I am going to have a think. The company that did the testing says they will repair the full pump for between $800-$2000 depending on what is wrong inside and even offer a warranty (this is super rare in Zambia). He was saying as these pumps are the 'heart' of the car and given...
Hi,
Well I took it to the Diesel-Electric guys in Lusaka, Zambia and they reckon it's the timing control valve.
They are talking about having to take the whole injector pump off to get to the TCV. I think I can get a new valve but I am unsure how difficult the valve replacement is...
Hi,
Thanks Calvin.
It seems like a manual pump, while nice, is not really a good idea because the electric one is so integrated into pretty much everything via the ECU.
Zambia just won the Africa Cup (football) so today is not a good day for a diagnostic session as a hungover mechanic might...
Hi Crushers,
Do you know what would happen if you swapped the pump to a mechanical one but left the Automatic ECU in place? I would imagine we get massive errors from the ECU.
It is sort of like chopping off your arm and expecting your brain not to notice.
Hopefully can make a decision...
Hi,
I was hoping that anyone looking for information regarding 1KZ-TE injector pumps may benefit from the single thread as they are bloody expensive and any cheaper options are useful.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
A bump for a thread with very similar problem.
I have a 1KZ-TE in my 1994 KZJ78 Landcruiser Prado Auto (KZJ78W-PGT) which is in Zambia of all places.
I have had starting problems recently which my mechanic somewhat resolved by rotating the fuel injector pump (advanced) that...
Hi guys,
I am having a strange starting issue with my 1KZ-TE 3.0L Turbo Diesel which is in my Automatic 1994 KZJ78 Landcruiser Prado.
When I start the engine in the morning it will start almost straight away. I always wait for the second click of the glow plug relay to sound before turning...
