Builds 2001 LC HZJ78 AK -RESTORATION- For Overland

Yes, the fact that it is not a tail gate, its different then our setup in the 80. Also, depends on what type of area and weather you camp. I think if you have an awning in the back and a curtain between the two doors, you can have a private protected place and the option do the cooking outside (and also shower). The two trays on the rear doors replace the tail gate, and a second water source coming out where the toilet lives can set you up for option 2 of cooking.

On the toilet note, we use a shovel if we can and if in urban area, we have a collapsible toilet the uses plastic bags. Real estate in here is so precious, that I think the bulky toilet uses too much space for what we use it for...

I'm debating about the design of a console between the two seats. I have a friend that can custom make it from aluminum, but don't want it tall because my wife who does Yoga, moves to the back while we drive to make lunch and also at night before bed time. I also like to come out of bed while she sleeps (not on the popup) and start driving early morning.

Yes, you’re right. The two trays will serve as a cooking space and it’s the area. I haven’t installed my Alu-Cab awning yet. I know it’s pretty all around the cab. This is a must. I think an awning is a must there to have agreement like nice shade where there’s sun and to park your chairs to sit down and eat. I think it’s a must. I didn’t install it yet. I was just I don’t want it in a way in the garage when I’m going to do my swap of my engine and everything. So, and the toilet as as yourself I didn’t use a toilet. I didn’t bring it. Actually, I had no cabinet in my travels all the way through. So, yeah, the toilet I have it. It’s a composting toilet. I’m not sure if I’m going to use it or I’m going to save this space for other utilities. Your blessed to have a wife to cook

Actually I cook. She sits inside and hands me the food and preps the salad inside. I like to have the fridge close to the back to easy access when you are out. I do a first wash outside - the jerrycan has a faucet on the bottom. She does the dishes inside the sink with hot water and capturing all food in a stainer that goes into the trash. We did long private whitewater trips for 10 years and then backpacking for many years. I am anal about living it better than you found it.

What is going to be your final engine configuration? 1HZ / diesel?

I am excited to find a 1HDFT with low miles. I'll drive the 1HDT for 500-1000 miles to make sure it is good and then sell it. We have a 1HDT in my daughter's 40 and a 1HDFT in the 80. I think the performance and the noise level is much better on the FT. EGT never exceeds 875F (470C) even on long climbs in 5th gear when boost is 18psi.
I have a friend that has a few 1HZ/turbo/intercooled and claims they are the fastest engines he ever had (he had 30+ landcruiser's over the years) and he boost them to 15-20 psi.

Then again: if someone is turboing and boosting to those numbers, they probably have a wheelbarrow full of cash to fix the outcomes. …. Or a great supply of 1HZ’s to throw out the window when they blow and just swap in another 1HZ.

I mean, that definitely one way to go about it.

I’m in the process of cleaning and repainting the intake manifold and engine mounts, as well as the transmission mounts. One of the transmission mounts was completely broken and, although you can’t see it in the picture, it’s also cracked. So, I’ll need to replace this one. Additionally, I discovered that my spare block has already been tapped to 1/8 the oil supply region. There’s also a standard coolant plug in my block right next to the hose, which I believe is a 12.5 mm M12 fitting. I’m thinking of using this as the coolant supply. Has anyone done this with their turbo? (It’s a drain plug for the coolant) I don’t think it’s possible to use it )??? Anyone

Today, after my research, I finally figured out the oil feed and the oil return for the turbo setup. My 1HZ spare block has already been tapped, so I will use that for the oil feed and reduce it to 4AN. The 1.8 to 4AN fitting would be perfect for that oil feed. For the oil sump, it will be 8AN directly from the turbo to the oil sump. I can show you some pictures, but I’m not sure about the coolant in and out. If anyone has knowledge on the Garrett turbo coolant, there are two ports. I’m not quite sure if the inlet is on the left

Correct me if I’m wrong

Oil feed small 4AN
Oil return 8AN

For the collant feed I am less certain about the feed and return

I just assembled by hand to get a sense for the hose and fittings

 

[mt72]

This one is a water collant drain plug not certain I could use it for my collant return as per the bigger hose will be tapped for the Espar system

I had a chance to spray the crosse member and transmission mount and other engine parts too

Also think this would be good information if someone want to plug the vehicle this is the location on the engine

Tommy, I'm to sure if the block of the HZ is the same as the HDT, but I can take some photos of mine (1HDT and 1HDFT). Also, I'm debating to buy a Gturbo for the FT engine that I am building. Why model Arashi turbo did you order?

Cheers mate

[OGBeno]

you need a place to blast out coolant from the block if needed. The drain cock is there for a reason.

There are plenty of cylinder head fittings that you could draw from the way Toyota does.

Hi Ofer! That would be awesome if I can see how the water line are pipes in / out

This turbo his the GT3071R with a standard CT26 flange but absolutely no instructions

This was my impression too that’s cock need to be available .. I still need to figure the water in/out although I can use the big hose I still prefer finding a spot elsewhere

 

[mt72]

Meantime Intake done

 

[ofer bruhis]

Tommy, The pipes are not visible (under AC, covers, etc.) but I'll try to explain...
The photo is the coolant into the turbo right under the front stud of the exhaust. It's that metal pipe you see under the stud.

The drawing shows the return. You will need to buy this part if your return does not have this metal stub on the bottom.

 

[mt72]

Thanks Ofer this helps me a lot! I’ve snap a few pictures

The pipe your showing for the collant feed is exactly under the oil cap I presume see pictures

For the return I already have the 20 version

This bolts there and I will need to have my turbo 4AN to this point

that will exactly look like stock!

The project this week was to sandblast the 1HZ and paint it before it goes to the shop second coat of high temp gray paint

I did check the fuel lines and change the clamp… I also checked the configuration and connections on the long ranger tank this one confused me .. there’s so many output …
I wish I had a diagram to confirm the accuracy
Truck seem to make much less smoke although it’s very humid here and gray

Dirty

Sandblast

First coat

Second coat

Tommy, I’m at the same stage with my FT. I’ll just wire brush it and spray some type oil degreaser. I can’t really transport it to a shop and working in our home garage. Once done cleaning I’ll remove the valve cover and oil pan and treat them separately. All iron parts removed from the block will be powder coated. All aluminum parts will be glass blasted. Hopefully it pays up at the end.
