    Ozzie Parts Order - 12ht

    Roodogs and engines Australia are both good and you can throw Eastcoast 4x4 in the mix for all things Toyota as well. http://www.4wdspares.com

    Dyno tuner in Sydney area?

    Sorry if you have mates at Westend Chappo or something but I wouldn't take my paddock basher to Westend for tuning. They absolutely destroyed a near new 75 I owned and refused warranty when it was a week over its warranty period. Luckily Turboglide and Eastcoast helped me out after I got my...

    Bulletproofing the 2H?

    Irony! The Amarok motor is also a 2h! Now if they'd just give us the V6 TDI like the rest of the world we'd be laughing!

    Replaced oil pressure relief valve-pressure still high!!

    It's a very common issue, my old hj60 had it and my 61 has it. The prv fixed some of the issue in the 60 but I suspect it's more related to the sender in the 61.

    HJ 60 2H diesel needs a turbo!

    What he said ^^^ Everyone has an opinion, mine is don't do it unless you're happy to rebuild....a few times.

    diesel purchase

    Good luck getting a half decent bj40/42 for <$8k....anywhere in the world. Down here in Straya the market on the 42 is between $12k and $30k depending on kms and condition. What you're looking for in a diesel for deal breakers is any hint of water in the air cleaner housing, heavy knocking...

    12H-T maintenance prior to engine bay install

    Watrob = dream crusher!! :D Unfortunately all true though. Add side cover gaskets and sump gasket to the list. No harm in doing belts and any frontal serviceable components because it looks like service hasn't been high on the PO's list of priorities. Like Watrob said you'll be spending...

    12ht water temp average and help

    Hey Chappo why don't you wheel it to my place and I'll tell you it's the head gasket and reluctantly take it off your hands.... That could work.

    12ht water temp average and help

    Hmmm both good suggestions with the blocked rad and head gasket. I'd likely pursue the radiator first because it's easier and cheaper to test and you can the gas test at the same time but you may have to nurse it around chappo. Did you replace the hoses as well? Sometimes they can collapse and...

    Which Oil to Run in the 2H?

    x2 on the penrite and I alternate between the 20W60 and 15W50. I still haven't figured out which grade I prefer, the semi synth 15W50 doesn't burn and consume like the mineral 20W60 does in the 2H but I'm not convinced semi synth is best long term and the mineral doesn't knock as much as the...

    The throttle adjustment is in the governor but it's also pretty sensitive

    12HT Rebuild Kits

    I'm pretty sure the OP's question has been well and truly answered, my money would be on an SMS kit if you're not connected to the industry but personally I used to work for East Coast 4wd in chipping Norton and I'd get my kit from there and probably even have them rebuilt it for me because I'm...

    12HT Rebuild Kits

    Yeah that's a nice story and I really want to believe it but Taiwan is the new Japan as India and Korea and Malaysia are the new Japan. I'm not old school and I'm all about thinking global but the only country that is the new Japan is Japan and the only thing better than Japanese components is...

    12h-t exhaust upgrades

    What he said ^^^ Bigger exhaust will allow bigger boost with out back pressure and EGT troubles but you'll still have to consider increased engine wear and tear like blow by, turbo failure etc. It may just be worth doing the timing, valve adjustment and dyno to see what power you have...

    12h-t exhaust upgrades

    I want to retract most of my statement/misguided commentary, I concede that to a point minimising back pressure is most beneficial especially in regards to expelling gases and effects on temperature but it is important to note that some degree of back pressure is required to be retained to...

    12h-t exhaust upgrades

    Yeah I'd reconsider the information you have available to you or speak with a diesel professional. 3" won't hurt but it needs to be matched with a proper muffler and dump pipe and it WILL be louder without discrimination and you WILL suffer back pressure losses which WILL be inefficient if not...

    12h-t exhaust upgrades

    It all depends on how much you want to open your wallet... IMO 3" is just an increase in decibels and would necessitate boost increase to maintain a sensible back pressure. 2.5" is ample with a triflow or similar. Intercooler is a great idea but again has an exponential relationship with...
