    2H into '88 FJ62, advice

    Rosco- Thanks for all the thoughts and vote of confidence! BTW where are you in Western Aus.? My uncle used to be a mine engineer and I visited him in Kalgoolie (probably misspelled) a couple of times, he now lives near Perth. And my Aunt & her husband Rupert run a cattle station somewhere North...

    Wanted  2H engine, preferably in a rust bucket.

    I'm looking for a 2H engine in good shape and relatively low miles (150 - 200K). I'd consider it in or out of vehicle, although I would prefer a complete parts vehicle for a diesel conversion into an 88 FJ62. I would love it if it was already in the States, but honestly expect to have to go to...

    2H into '88 FJ62, advice

    Autos and other thoughts. Needless to say I have been thinking about all of this ALOT and the more I read- the more varied the opinions. I have been driving thuggish, sluggish and slow cars for a while now...an '86 F250 and now this FJ62...and I am totally fine with it- a bit of a meditative...

    Thanks for the Manual connection jzmq Thanks for the manual link! I had not found those.;) Tapage- I'm hoping it comes with alternator, but not sure yet.Thanks:confused: Grease- Are you thinking the GM 6.2? Been pretty committed to Toyota, but will poke around looking at that...

    back in town? Hey John- Great to hear from you! I saw you and Mitzi rolling down Main St. last week. Such a nice Rig!!!!! Welcome back to town. I have been reading a bunch- one of your recent threads has been really insightful. https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=63774 What I really...

    2H into '88 FJ62, advice

    Colorado bound radiator. Hopefully you can bring it to Colorado with my motor;) How about the alternator, power steering pump and fuel filter? What else will be attached to the 2H or unused by the 12HT transplant ? I pm'd you. How about the tachometer that rosco mentioned? got a spare...

    2H into '88 FJ62, advice

    Rosco- Thanks for the info... why not use the existing 3F radiator? and an aftermarket oil cooler? I am dealing with an NA spec FJ62 and a Canadian 2H. How hard is it to convert the 24V 2H to 12v? I've been trying the search function but have come up with more questions than answers. Thanks...

    2H into '88 FJ62, advice

    Hey there, I am trying to convert my '88 FJ62 with a 3F-E to diesel as reasonably as possible. From reading other threads, I believe that the 2H will match with the A440 tranny that is already in the truck. Is that correct? I believe I read it in reference to a 2F to 2H conversion, is it the...

    Toyota diesel conversion

    Not hijacking, just second in line. I do not want to hijack BC Cruiser's deal, but if he ends up going factory turbo and does not want the 2H, then I am very interested. Please pm me about the 2H, miles? Does the tranny stay in the orig. truck? or come with the engine? Do you know where this...

    HJ60 build up/restoration

    Thanks This is a great thread, thanks for the dedicated documentation. Absolutely gorgeous job, man am I jealous...not of what you started with, but certainly of what you ended up with. Congratulations.

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    Thanks for all the feedback, still curious about the particulars of turboing the 2H, but will start a more insistent and particular thread when I have a truck in my hot little hands. :cool:

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    Curious about what the suggested limits for turboing a 2H are? any feed back? Also, what might be the appropriate turbo to add to a 2H? Thanks for the advice.

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    Lowenbrau- Thanks for the link. I am impressed and inspired, but not equipped or inclined -unfortunately. If you happened to want to make two we might have something to talk about...? But maybe it would not turn out to be any cheaper than the AXT route. The HJ I am after is a bit pricier, but...

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    Then you know what I am talking about with German turbo diesel acceleration. WOW! Yes...blue sun, but I hear the CEO doesn't even drive a diesel- gasser Expedition, kinda pathetic if true. My Chessie had a blast, she may be a water dog, but knows how to have fun in the mountains as well.

    Building the Manifold?? Lowenbrau, I just reread...you are building a manifold? Isn't the manifold cast? or is it machined? Please educate me here...what are you starting with? How much is buyng the manifold from AXT and then putting the rest of the pieces together yourself? Tell me more....?

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    Thank you for the info- keep it coming... I am a committed Diesel fan- and have a bit of a thing for the biodiesel. We have an '04 TDI Passat with a 2.1L and it rips on B20 (available commercially in carbondale). On Vail pass it will accellerate from 80 in order to not get cut off by the guy...

    2h with A440 at altitude? Is it realistic?

    So I take it that you do not have a turbo on yours? What sort of mileage are you getting? I do not mind a slowish vehicle but would like to not have to step down to VW camper speeds.What sort of speeds are you getting on highway grades heading into the Rockies? Sounds like sticking with 31's...
