1HDFTE upgrade sounds interesting, you lucky you have that option available, here the 70 series only came with 1HZ, 1HDFTE motors only came in the 100 VX which sells for $130000aus equivalent, so not too many lying around
I had my truck on the dyno recently and got 110kw and 380NM at the wheels EGT 700, honestly I expected a bit more
Fuel use: I have been battling a bit to get it the way I feel it should be, I filled up yesterday and got 8.5 km/l which is combined town/ highway driving, Im sure I could get about 9.5km/l open road but need to keep the revs around 2600rpm
I know other 80 owners with similar setups getting very good consumption with auto box, so far Ive done tappets checked the injectors, running synthetics. My pump had been fiddled buy the PO though so not a stock starting point. Ive considered getting it checked out but havent found anyone I trust yet, its easy to pay alot and be in no better position here.
