This one is from a 79 series so 122kw. But I expect the power curve to be superior to the 12ht and where the difference will be noticed most.
 
The injector pump from a HDJ100R will drop straight on and bring her up to the 151 and 430 100 series figures.

No need for that. Both pumps flow the same amount of fuel. Ramp rate on the 100 is higher. The power increase comes from slightly larger injector nozzles and revised ecu map. Intercooler helps

On my 79 with only +30% injectors @ 18psi was 152rwkw which would be 180+ kw at the engine.No chip.

After gturbo, unichip, intercooler, we ended up with 218rwkw @ 32psi and a little more fuel left out of the standard 79 series fuel pump. The pump is definitely not the limiting factor.
 
Well, yesterday the clutch plate delivery was pushed back to December, so I cancelled the order. I have a new pressure plate and drive plate on the way from Direct Clutch in Brisbane Clutch kits and clutch parts Australia | Clutch Repair Replacement Brisbane. Everything was instock, advice was top notch and price was competitive.

Today I stripped the gearbox and removed the input shaft. Once the bearing kit arrives I'll re-assemble it with the 21 spline input I have and it will be ready to go back in.

As for my fan shroud... the 1HDFTE fan position is much lower than the 3f. I have a 2f radiator here I plan on using as it moves the outlet further towards the RHS of the bottom tank. Even with it in that position clearing the fan will be impossible without relocating the radiator as far right and downwards as possible. I could modify my engine mount brackets and move the engine further to the LHS as I don't have a steering box on the LHS chassis to avoid but I'm not sure I want to go down that route at this stage. I also need to get my hands on a 2f radiator shroud, again due to the fan location of a 2f being lower than a 3f...maybe I can make one shroud out of two...
 
I didn't know that was done for a body lift, I thought the radiator was lowered?
 
Radiator is raised as its bolted to the body, as your aware body up chassis down theres gonna be a clash. I also had to cut about 20mm out of the transfer shifter hole so 4low would engage.
 
Nah, I was in the Hunter.
 
Maybe a relo?

I had the pleasure of driving a fueled up 12HT HJ60 blue Sahara for a few weeks 12-15yrs ago.

It went like stink! And is probably responsible for my obsession with turbo diesel cruisers.
I believe it was built up by a Doust.
The subsequent owner's son rolled it and drowned it on Fraser Island.
 
G'day mate, if you haven't done so yet, I would suggest blanking off the egr and removing the insides of the inlet 'toaster'. This is a fantastic build - I had a chipped 100 series TD before I moved back into the simplistic world of 60's...
 
Gday Silveredition, thanks for the compliment. I had a hell of a time cleaning the gunk from the intake on my donor engine so I'm with you 100% on the EGR and have some plans I'll report on once completed.
We went through a Prado Altitude and then a Hilux D4D dual cab to also arrive back in a 60 series, we can't wait to get this vehicle up to spec and get back out there camping again!
 
Suffering a few delays at the moment. It seems the wrong rebuild kit was sent out for my gearbox, then I had to travel away for a wedding so it's been tough trying to sort it out. Even though this vehicle is low kilometre, I thought if I'm going to strip the box for the input shaft change I might as well replace wear parts while I'm in there.Tomorrow I'll follow up with the supplier and attempt to get the project moving again.

Before we went for away I made and mounted a clutch hardline, as the slave and fork are on the LHS of the bellhousing with this engine. I've also mounted most of the 12mm fuel supply and am in the process of tidying the chassis rail lines to accommodate the 12mm as well as provide clearance for the exhaust system. I will also force a decision on fuel filter mounting as I've been procrastinating over it for too long! I'll add photo's once these things are finalised.
 
This week I got the input shaft swapped over. It was my first time inside a Landcruiser gearbox and while it's not difficult to understand, it is very tough without appropriate bearing pullers. I have included a shot of the front bearing retainer as, if I'm correct, there are different input bearing sizes amongst the H55F. The later gearboxes used a larger sealed bearing and two drillings (either side of the input bearing) in the housing to bring oil through for counter bearing flow
. I understand you will need this type of box to fit the 21 spline input shaft but maybe someone can chime in and correct or confirm?

I've had the 1HDFTE flywheel machined and fitted it along with an Exedy clutch. I have photographed the part numbers I used apart from two whose packaging had already made the bin. These items will suit the HZJ75 flywheel housing.

I apologise for the photos rotating. They spun around when I uploaded so I tried rotating them on my computer but they still upload how they like. They'll still get the job done.

I have run 12mm stainless hard pipe for a fuel supply. It is difficult to form and aluminium or hosing would have been easier but I am concerned about the aluminium "work hardening" and cracking and flexible hose is legally questionable here. The fuel pump is on the LHS so it has to be brought across the vehicle at some point. As I needed the room for exhaust routing on the RHS, I chose to bring it across behind the gearbox. I used rubber to transition from the chassis rail to the body and once across to the LHS I used the old exhaust heat shield mountings to secure it. The fuel is returned across the fire wall via the old brake booster vacuum pipe and then drops down to the original fuel supply hard pipe and returns to a T piece in the filler neck breather hose. I have moved the return hard pipe and rear brake lines high on the chassis to give more clearance from the exhaust system, although you can't see it in these photos.

That looks great man! High clearance and safe!
