Build 1997 FZJ80 to HDJ80 1HD-FTE + H152F

Good question @scottryana

No matter what the temperature this is a fantastic build

Absolutely, one of the cleanest builds currently on mud. I just don’t understand the need to try and derail with the boomers comment that made absolutely no sense.

Youth looking for significance is my guess. But I digress! I love how Quiet toyota diesels sound. Yeah you know it's a diesel but any dodge guy is gonna snap his neck in a double take

1HD-FTE is a super well balanced engine. Its design was the result of 10 full years of engine development in the HZ/HD family.

It’s an incredible power plant for its time.

We are closing the shop early and going camping. Have a good weekend ya’ all.

The quick upskirt shot sure is a nice peek. Just a small amount of bling showing is perfect. Exhaust looks to be top notch.

Maybe he was talking about me, I was born in 1973 but pretty sure that is to new to be a boomer.

John and Onur are younger than me.

And here I thought the under-hood winch box mount was trick. THAT is trick.

You’re pulling me out of the muck next time, John.

a lot of acoustic insulation on the FTE too. injector pump and valve cover being most notable.
the latter years of the FT gained a fair amount, a lot of it gets discarded over the years.

What guages/EGT monitoring system did you guys go with? Maybe hadn't been posted yet or perhaps since it's electronic you didn't need a stand alone?

1hd-fte ECU will give you only these sensors:
- engine coolant temp
- intake manifold pressure ( boost )
- engine rpm
- vehicle speed
- intake air temperature

The boost is useless as the gturbo module will modulate the signal going to the MAP sensor ( what the ECU actually sees )

@SNLC I am still thinking about doing the cross-over delete, can you share how did you go with deleting the shut off solenoid? Did you put the delete mod or you kept it connected?

Really not much of a picture but it marks a big moment. We are wrapping the dash harness, installing HVAC system and putting the dash back in it.

Ffffffffuuuuuugggggghhhhh….

Getting close

Tomorrow is going to be good.

 

[tmxmotorsports]

Nice

 

[SNLC]

So we had really hoped to have the carpet and seats in by the end of today but it just didn’t happen. It took a fair amount of time to get the dash all in, we adjusted some wire lengths while we did it that hogged up some time.

Cheers

 

[SNLC]

I really like the EGT gauge and its location.

Video of the work this week.




I think we are just about right into carpet and seats come Tuesday.

Cheers

Oh ya, from the get go with the H152 we had a 79-series shifter. Once the dash was in it was clear you would hit your knuckles on the dash using it. I just so happen to have a few OEM HDJ80 H151 shifter assemblies on the shelf so swapped it out and all is well.

Cheers

 

[jomelo]

So close.
