Hi Eleblanc, if you are interested, I found that if you raise factory boost until just before the factory fuel cutoff the ECU does give additional fuel! - enough to feel the difference and be reflected on dyno. Doesnt make as much of a difference as a chip, but is in the order of 10-12% more torque/power for not much work. I havent checked the effect on air temp sensor on power/fuel yet, thats the next thing. I dynoed it at 132kw in 4wd at the wheels. This is much higher than standard and the vehicle hasnt a single other modification (other than the EGR line blocked off). Really makes it more spritely.

Auzvolv, you should start a new thread.
Proberly a lil late but
These are the early td 100 rear quart stickers
Toyota Landcruiser series 100 turbo decals, stickers | eBay
These are the later 100series ones
2 x Toyota Landcruiser series 100 turbo decals stickers | eBay
This guy also has the factory cab stickers to suit the 1hdfte ute/pickup that read Di-turbo 4200efi and this guy changed the letters and numbers around for me but kept the factory colour,font and size,look to Fi-turbo 4500efi, to suit my turbod 1fz ute,
so you get him to keep the toyota looking sticker but say what ever you like
Nice project and work
Awesome! I just spent the morning reading your swap for the first time and then you posted this sweet vid.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Dougal, this video was a test using a remote microphone in the engine compartiment. The remote microphone was located right next to the air filter box near the turbo.
It is not that noisy at all in the cabine. I should do a other video with cabine sound.

I miss the Landcruiser diesel engine noise and feeling 
As 2nd car, I bought a Golf SW TDI... interesting, but have not cured me

Nice , Fun project
Sounds great. i assume you are talking about sheldon from G&S Cruisers or 70'sguy here on mud. I just finished my 96 FZJ swap with a 1HD-T and an A442F. I live a few bloks from sheldon and you couldn't have teamed up with a better guy. can't wait to see your progress.
Cheers.

Shift Kit for the A442F?
Where can you get a shift kit for the A442F and would it work with a 1HD-T?

There isnt an off the shelf shift kit for the A442F; you need to do an exchange from a company like Wholesale automatics in Melbourne.
The A750F is a different story; for a lot less $ you can get a shift kit to do yourself. There is a company here in Perth that sells them; I think they are called "Driveline".
Also aon all the electronic line pressure control boxes, you can intercept the line pressure solenouid and stiffen up the changes that way. Mine makes 230whp at the moment and if I want it >750nm at crank at 1800rpm. I am having some further gearbox issues (slipping under full torque) which once I intercept the line pressure solenoid should no longer be an issue, but just a word of caution for those with chipped up 1HDFTE and the 5 speed auto - chip with no gearbox mods can = gearbox death.

Hey Eleblanc,
Now that you've settled into life with your HDJ100, hows it treating you?

Been driving it for 16 month now. Done about 28-30 thousands miles. It has been doing great, i love the truck, at low speed, stop and go, you have that heavy duty feel with typical rrroowing of diesel and at highway speed, the silence of a gas engine. And 20-22 mpg!!
Issue i have had after initial fixes;
1- a leaking PS pump, mostlikely due to the 2 years of inactivity of the engine. now fixed
2- AHC off light that randomly have blinked, for now it as been resolved with a simple over night or a quick stop and start. I suspect the center accumulator, i have one spare here so i will eventualy change it.
3- And this morning first time it let me down, one alternator belt that broke. I should have change the 3 belts while i had the engine on a bench....
4- And i'll be due in the coming month for front brake
5- I still have tranny to Tc seal leak, but so minor it is not dripping on the ground.
Related to the truck but now reliability wise, last summer got go rearended by a suburban. New tail gate, lights, bumper, etc.. and yesterday got my winter tires stolen for the second time.
The only bad side about the truck, i would have to say, is the fact that i live in Canada where winter are cold and the truck is diesel. I had so much pitty for the thing when i cold started it, i had to do something and went on to buy a Webasto. Now with a remote i can remotely start and stop the webasto. When i get in the truck i have instant heat and a smoothly running engine.
Other then that, i think my wife also like the heavy duty noise and feel of the truck (BTW it is not that bad at all), as soon she need to carry soemthing heavier then 15-20 pounds she take the LC! I have to prevent her cause when she goes shopping she will try to fill the back of the truck, and you know it is not small.

So, my beloved HDJ100, which i've put huge amount of time, working on and thinking about, as now changed hand. It has been a year since i've been playing with idea of either retiring it from our salty winter road or sell it. Having put so much time into this project i wasn't yet convinced i could let it go. SO last spring i bought my self a small car for commute to the office and kept the HDJ. But i quickly realized i didn't like DD a car and wanted a truck. After 9 years salt was showing is work on the under carriage and before the body got affected i didn't want to drive it in the winter anymore, but the car didn't cut it. I sold the car, bought a 2018 4runner and took some time to resolve minor issue on the HDJ before putting it on sale. I knew of one person that might be interested in it, and which i knew, would properly use it and take great care in it, but he already has load of LC and would probably pass on it. Anyhow, when i spoke to him, i told him the HDJ will soon officially be on the market.... Couples of week later, he calls me and want to buy the LC. So, David*BJ70 is the new and proud owner. He is a friend and probably the most hardcore cruiserhead Canada as to offer. I couldn't hope for a better person to sell the truck too, within 5 minutes of is call, it was a done deal. He plans on making an overlanding rig and hit Mojave Desert soon with it! So if you ever come across a Beige 100, without the V8 badge in the back…well yes it is running a 1HD-FTE!.
On that i relenquish ownership of this thread to David! Have fun Buddy! And i will update my signature!
