Thanks,
The Donaldson Part # is FWG065180 and the air cleaner # P182052.
 
"...(who runs oil thru their altenator? these Landcruisers are un-frigin-believable)..."

FYI: The oil does not run through the alternator - it runs through the vacuum pump attached to the back of the alternator.

Following the progress -- many thanks for posting.

Thanks, but it seems I cannot find the Donaldson part (FWG065180) I tried googling it plus searched Donaldsons sites etc... might be a discontinued item though...
 
Where is that fuel supply screw?

I'm almost at the point where I can start this baby up. I got the exhaust manifold torqued down, got the oil supply hooked up, got the oil drain hooked up. I installed the air cleaner, but have to trim the ruber elbow to make it fit. I drilled and tapped the turbo exhaust elbow and installed the Pyro. There's a lot of discussion on where the best place is for the pyro, before the turbo or after. I put it where Turboglide insisted it be placed, after the turbo. I have to install the boost gauge and wire up both gauges.

Henry James,
Ok, what does the oil do going thru there? Is it for cooling? By the way I read thru your entire post regarding the power steering conversion and converting from RHD to LHD. You were an inspiration for me. I bought a welder after reading your post. I'm taking a welding class in a few weeks to get up to speed on mig welding.
 
turbo boost guage location?

Where is the best place to tap into the intake for the boost guage tube? I'm thinking the intake tube from the Turboglide kit. That way any metal shavings can be captured. The other way appears to be drilling and tapping the intake manifold, but the metal shavings could end up in the engine, Ouch!
 
The vacuum pump on the back of the alternator provides vacuum for the brakes, since diesel motors don't produce vacuum in the intake like a petrol motor.
 
So, the oil supply goes to the vacuum pump for lubrication?

that's true and I never saw that much pressure or flow there ..

I believe that the metal case Donaldson filters have all been discontinued.

The FPG line is definitely still available. Very, very well made. The plastic cases have a centrifugal airflow that should separate dirt before it even gets to the paper filter inside (the paper filters are the same, AFAIK).

Here's an FPG installed in the 3B converted 40...

And mocking up it's position (and mimicking the location in this thread) in an HJ-45...

I was certainly disappointed when I learned that I couldn't get a new metal case filter. Then I got my hands on the plastic one you see here. I've checked out the metal cased versions on equipment at work, and frankly I like the plastic better now.

Thanks alot Dan, that looks perfect for my applications! Do you have the numbers for them?

Sorry for the high-jack, but I have been looking for a good filter housing for some time, even had a long dialogue with a Donaldson representative about size, cfm etc. His reply was "contact Toyota and ask what the specific engine needs" Well, Toyota over here doesn't even now, much less wants to tell...
 
I had Turboglide send me the Donaldson unit. The filter says made in Australia, while Donaldson is a U.S. Company. The metal case looks nice and is well made. Of course after me re-installing it 10 times, it's now scratched up pretty well. No big deal, since my motor ain't winning any contest at the car show.

No cruiser motor should! It's a tool, a piece of equipment meant to be used. A Cruiser completely looses it's meaning when not being used. So thumbs up for that! :)
 
I agree, the engine don't need to be pretty

I did get some stuff done today. the intake runner got drilled and tapped to accept the boost pressure tube. I got the intake connection from turbo to aircleaner done, that took an act from God. The Donaldson air cleaner housing had to be repositioned 5 times. it now sits 1/4" from the A/C pulley. I got the gauge bracket mounted. That was a compromise and took the repositioning of the A/C controller box. By the way, anyone who has the Nipondenso A/C unit in their 40 series might like to know that if you take the control box (on-off/fan speed switch), There's a rubber plug on the left side. A note over the plug says "colder with a arrow to the right and warmer with the arrow to the left". Mine was set in the middle. I live in Florida,,,,,, no I don't want more cooling, I'd like my A/C to be as warm as possible.
Now, I've been looking for a switch that says turn clockwise for more horsepower, turn left for less horsepower. Ain't found it yet.

I showed the last picture to my girlfriend; the first thing she says is "Are you going to straighten that A/C controller box?"
.....yeah,,,

Looking at that fantastic air cleaner (the plastic Donaldson unit), I can say that it would not work with an A/C unit in a 40 series. My concern was I want a Safari Snorkle. TurboGlide has a picture of my truck with their turbo connected to the all metal Donaldson Filter assembly with the Safari snorkle. If they make a plastic Air cleaner that will fit a 40 series Right Hand Drive diesel, that would not interfere with A/C, I would probably have gone that way. Donaldson's Website ain't that easy to navigate. I tried to order a Donaldson system thinking if they"re here in the U.S. it has to be cheaper than getting it from Australia. Not so, I ended up telling Turboglide to include their Donaldson aircleaner. Sometimes you go with what you hope will work and then you kneel down and pray.

Hey dude,

The vacuum pump on a 2H is on the back of the alternator. As it's a diesel, decent vacuum (used for the brake booster) can't be taken from the inlet manifold as it is often done on gasoline engines.
That oil supply will be for lubricating the Vac pump .... I would assume :meh:.

Anyone ... please correct/inform me/us more :D

Nice work with the turbo man, good to see you figured it all out! I'll be doing a turbo install on my old troopy ..... eventually :hillbilly:

By the way, nice gnome.

Cheers,

Matt

EDIT - oops, hadn't read through the thread properly and consequently did not notice everyone else's replies regarding the vac pump oil send. Sorry!

those plastic air filter housings aren't all that good. make sure you line up where those latches go properly before you tighten them down 'cause they can break off pretty easily. the new isuzu trucks have plastic donaldson housings and the little bit of plastic that the latches grip on get pretty weak after a few times coming off and going back on.
 
I've installed a Donaldson FPG exactly like the one Dan has, we'll see what the longevity is like, the mounting band itself was $50.:eek:
