A grid heater, of course, makes perfect sense. In post #55 pic 3 the non turbo 15B-F has a butterfly valve, I wonder if it has been relocated behind the grid heater in the turbo version, there are some odd bulges. I guess there might be a MAF sensor in there too being an ECU controlled injector pump. I would love to get my hands on the manual.
Today I found a russian manual for the mega cruiser on line. The pictures show what looked like a gear driven vacuum pump, which I may just swap for an air compressor. I have never understood why light diesel vehicles use vacuum when compressed air or powersteering pressure are much better working fluids for boosting brakes and moving levers.
Comming back to the discusion earlier in the thread about flywheels, clutches and bell housings; am I corect in understanding that the 13B-T and 14B-T had 275mm clutches and a bell housing that mates with the H55 gearbox without modifications and the 15B-F and 15B-FTE had larger flywheels and bellhousings for a 300mm clutch? Does anyone know if a later cruiser gearbox mounts on this larger belhousing, eg H15O0 or H151. I know the bolt patern changed after the H55. I am quite happy to raid the entire Yota parts bin to build my ultimate 40 series.
One more for tonight; does anyone know what inline injector pump was used on turbo B series, I presume it was a denso. It looks like the 14B-T was supplied with both inline and rotary pumps for different applications and I have seen a photo of an inline pump on a 15B-FT. Is there a good website for information on denso pumps specs in english?
I promise I'll take lots of photos once I get my hands on one of these.
