7x Series models

[Entaran]

The 78 series is a pickup/ute. The 79 series is a troop carrier. Such is it's release here in Australia, Asia/Middle east and over in South Africa (where these things are used for what they are intended for!)

I'm in negotiations on a couple of HZJ75RP's atm, I've found that the steel tray offers FAR more room inside and underneath than the factory tub. It's also more customisable and arguably stronger. Also worry less when you hit a tree with it

pre 99, the 75's have LEAF front ends.

Thats why the steel tray outsells the factory tub 100:1
But you put the tray on a 79 series
Have you seen the Toyota factory tray?Looks

Has anyone seen anything on the new V8 turbo diesel thats suposedly in the pipeline.

Aussie dealers were supposed to have their orders in before last August.
There is some talk(and thats all it is at the moment) about a Jan 2007 release date.
I keep putting" 2007 landcruiser" into google but there is not much there.
Maybe Woody should start a 130 series chat forum ,after all he had one for the FJ Cruiser 2 years before its release

I just keep praying theyll put the V8 diesel into the 78/79 series which is due for an update

Well i back in Panama now and have yet another question. I´ve read up on the supercharger threads on this site and am wandering if anyone has used one on a 1HZ, 1PZ or a 3B and the like? Would a supercharger be better suited for water crossings as it would seam better sealed and not as HOT as a turbo? What would be some other opptions for a supercharger other than the sprintex? I would be interested in any info on this topic... thanks for the info guys!!!

I´ve tryed to google sprintex superchargers but came up with nothing. Maybe the computer i´m using as the computers here in central america cafes don´t always let me on to the sites i want to get on.

The reason I want to use one is they dont seem to cause the problems with a 1HZ that seem to occur with turbos.
Many of the sprintex's are fitted to landcruisers/patrol which are used as work vehicles,so their reliabilty is unquestionable.
I know of 75 series fitted with drilling rigs using a supercharged 1HZ to run the drill via a PTO and dont overheat
There is about 900 fitted to landcruisers and nissan patrols in western australia alone.
Sprintex only make the internal screw and use other companies for the housing.

I havent been in a rush to fit one as my freshly rebuilt 1HZ with a new pump gives ample power without a load.
The engine is also under warranty for another 5 months,so no blower or turbo mods allowed

I'm going with a CAPA Turbo kit mainly because I've already got a large number of TD05H's lying around in the shed (Previous Mitsubishi nut!!). This cuts down the cost of the kit by like 1500 as I don't need the turbo. Also, I've used CAPA stuff before and it's absolutely top quality. Just need to find an fuel enrichment aneroid.

I'm going turbo because supercharging the diesel doesn't make any sense to me. Superchargers work on engine revolutions and at low revs will produce a generally max of 6-8psi boost. Diesels don't rev. Therefore the turbo on the diesel is going to be (especially for me with a small turbo) basically lag free and a good shunt of power. After the intercooler is fitted I should be pushing 140kw and 420+ Nm of torque.

What is the difference between the HZJ76 and the HZJ77? Would one have leaf springs and the other coil springs, or maybe 8in vis 9.5in front diffs? And what is the difference between the HZJ70 and the HZJ71? I thought 71s are for turbos. Would that be a turbo 1HZ motor? I found it in this Danish site:

http://www.toyotalandcruiser.dk/modeller/

In the specks though it says its a non turbo. I´m confused, just still tryig to learn my Ps and Qs....

 

[SupaFly]

Hey Rosco thanks for the Sprintex link. This one seams to be working for me...

 

[SupaFly]

Hey, what are peoples thoughts about superchargers and deep water crossings? Still havn´t gotten any feed back on that one... I´m not familier with how sealed the superchargers are and if they would suck in water through the shaft or not? Just checking to see if anyone knows or not... Thanks!!!!

 

[SupaFly]

If my calculaions are right then the sprintex supercharged 1HZ would put out 182hp and 252lbs of torque. If that makes a reliable watertight diesel then it just may make a nice powered safary setup. I don´t know, just my thoughts is all...

Hey, what is the difference between the 3B and the 1HZ motors as far as there weight goes?

I they were not sealed tight they would not compress the air

Im not sure about deep water crossings but the manager assures me it easy to disconnect the belt and the engine will behave exactly like it did before the blower was added.

Good thought. I didn´t think about it needing to be sealed to compress the air...

As for taking the belt off of the supercharger isn´t there only one belt and would´t that affect the accesories or something?

I think its belts are independant of the altrrnator A/C and water pump.
In fact I remember the manager saying that when a blower belt brakes you can keep driving unaffected

Hey, what is the difference between the 3B and the 1HZ motors as far as there weight goes?

They are both about 300kg/661.4lb, the 1HZ a little bit more.

I met a guy with an HZJ45 which was a former FJ45 Firetruck and he tried both engines and put them on a dare ... he was surprised that the 3B is THAT heavy.



have a nice day

Is the 1HZ have a lot of aluminum in the motor so that is the reason why its weight is similor to the 3B? I drove a ´98 1HZ70 yesterday. The pep was quite nice. Had A/C, 9.5in front axal, and even the H55f gear box in it... cheers

Nope just a few alloy bits at the front. Its a much newer design and its only .8 of litre bigger in cc.
The 3B is an old school diesel and was used mainly on coaster buses and dyna trucks where weight was not so much an issue.
The B diesel has more variations than any other Toyota diesel and can get a lot heavier
