Haha - want to know the real story? The box tube was a chunk I pulled from my scrap pile, and one end was already cut at an angle.... Being lazy, I just matched the other end to the same angle ;cD
Just posted a short video in the other thread.... Hopefully next will be a running video!
Hey, shoutout to this thread and @amaurer - I've just about wrapped up my project turbo install my our BJ70 using this method, box tube manifold, Volvo turbo & VW intercooler... So far so good!
Saving the silver 70...
Sounds to me like you have a blockage, or a plugged vent if you can't even lift the primer pump. As reference to the power of the lift pump - I've seen a tank (not OEM) implode from the suction of the pump when the tank had no vent.
So, I would say - remove the tank cap first then see if you...
If you are having them tear it apart, have them replace ALL the diodes, not just the ones found to be defective. The cost of the diodes is minimal compared to the tear down and re-build cost. When mine died the first time, they only replaced half the diodes because only half the diodes were...
I doubt it's compression, but just putting it out there.
So, you say you have fuel because you cracked an injector line. Did you crack them all or just one?
When it won't start, does it cough, sputter, or just absolutely nothing?
This would likely get more responses in the diesel section, but I'll ask a question that may clarify things a little...
You say it won't "start" by that I assume you mean it rolls over but won't fire... If that is the case you pretty much have two options. It's either not getting fuel, or...
Ok, just to F#%k with all of y'all....
Yes, there is a trick to this. No, it does not get near what is shown for fuel BURN. I use Fuelly to show what my true costs are. I burn veggie. What is tracked above is miles per "purchased" gallon. After all, that's what really matters, right...
1. date of conversion - according to my thread, Feb 15, 2008
2. miles driven since conversion- roughly 50,000 Km
3. problems - haven't really had any issues, other than the truck rusted away, so now I'm swapping the drivetrain and veggie setup from my BJ60 to my FJ40
4. a telling photo of their...
I made an aluminum tank, welded for the bottom half, and top bolted on (so you can access for cleaning, or installing heat exchangers). I put it in the trunk, and built a storage/sleeping platform around it.
Link is in my signature...
Why wouldn't that engine be welcome. It has heratige here as well.... (OK, maybe bloodlines?)
The Bandeirante OJ40/OJ45 Series (1968 to 1973), OJ50/OJ55 Series (1973 to 1994) and BJ50/BJ55 Series (1994 to 2001) are J4 series built in Brazil by Toyota do Brasil Ltda from 1968 to 2001...
Pretty much unobtanium... Every search I ran through came up dry. Toyota dealer went through their listings, all the part numbers that were superseded, discontinued etc... Quickest easiest way I found was to buy a used pump... :c(
Well firstly without knowing why the water pump was seized, the true reality is it DOES matter if the impeller was broken, for all we know, it was seized because a broken fin was jamming it...
Secondly, nothing above in any way suggested that there was no circulation, until the comment of...
Well a few things... Knowing exactly what the problem is before replacing parts is a good start. You said the water pump was replaced. Did the fins break off the old pump? If so, where did they go? Were they all removed or is there one/parts of one stuffed into a coolant passage now? Do you...
