I’m pretty excited about how it turned out, as this isn’t something I’ve had to do before.

Heads up - big muffler and probably a resonator…that bad boy will sound like a rice rocket with a free flowing exhaust 
Made that mistake on my 80, regretted it every day after ….

Will you insulate the pipes running under the oil pan to reduce heat transfer to the oil?

Should not have to. That’s a common option on vehicles.
so cool!!

We got within the gravitational pull of HQ and had to lay hands on Rotunda today
John and I are driving his HZJ80 back from Omaha and an amazing resurrection by South to North Land Cruisers.
Exhaust
She’s coming together soon

HDJ, HZJ... what's the difference to a gasser guy
Awesome things you and every one else involved with all your projects have going on!

HDJ would be a turbo diesel whereas the HZJ80 is the 1HZ non-turbo. The engine in this 80 series was actually made for a foreign market 100 series. It’s a 24 valve electronically controlled turbo.HDJ, HZJ... what's the difference to a gasser guy
Thank you very much. Really happy to have this one in my possession. Was a little stressful this weekend.

I’m with you. s***s all the same to me. This one is a bit off the hook.HDJ, HZJ... what's the difference to a gasser guy
Not your normal Toyota
diesel for sure
I kinda have one of those normal ToyotaI’m with you. s***s all the same to me. This one is a bit off the hook.

diesels, but with a little pepper added. I bet it was a fun trip in the 80, and that is the right diesel to drop in on the alien motor works shop.
Brief update as we head into the weekend…
We quickly realized that we either did not have or could not find the clutch slave cylinder, and it was right in the new exhaust path. Kinda stopped the exhaust in its tracks because we needed it in place to see how much room we had.
It arrived this week, and we started working our way back with the exhaust. We have now “turned the corner”, so to speak, and have enough of the exhaust system in place to fire the motor when we’re ready.
It’s almost a straight shot down the frame, which you realize is not straight once you’re in there. It just needed a few gentle kinks & bends to weave its way through…
I didn’t intend for us to take the exhaust further than the manifolds (I have not built an exhaust system before and usually let the better of the exhaust-kinkers around here take it from that point.) Now I’m having fun and want to do the whole thing, but we need more parts…
But that’s another problem for another day. We have what we need from the exhaust to fire the motor, which was the objective. Now we need to get all of the hydraulic lines designed for the hydroboost system, since the 1FZ needs a power steering pump in place and plumbed .
We’ve been working on that behind the scenes and are calling in a local legend next week to help map out the rest and fab the hoses & lines.
Stay tuned

Here’s a cool time-lapse video of yesterday’s progress…

With the exhaust routed out of the engine bay, we know what we have left for real estate and can start laying out the hydraulic system for the hydroboost and power steering.
Here’s the simplified layout:
The high pressure line from the power steering pump passes through the hydroboost unit (with a little bit of return sent back to the reservoir) to the steering box, and back to the reservoir to feed the pump.
Simple, but since we’re running it remotely, our lines become a little more challenging. In a normal hot rod, you’d just run a mile of hose…
Maybe steel braided hose if you’re going to enter car shows.

Fortunately, we have a local legend that does all of our AC & power steering hose fab. He makes and bends all of his own fittings, since off-the-shelf pieces only get you so far.
We want to run as much hardline as possible and only use hose where needed for flex.
I made an intial mock-up for the lines coming out of the hydroboost to give him a starting point.

“Mike” (we’ll use an alias) came by yesterday to mock up a rough draft.
As said before, Mike is a local legend. He is like a mashup of Carrot Top and Slayer and (we think) prices his work by how many Marlboros it takes to finish. He also has really bad glaucoma, but the heavy treatments really help him visualize the layout. Super cool dude to work with.
He gave my templates his stamp of approval, making a few tweaks as needed and we moved over to the box and pump ends.
He’ll take these back to his shop to bend up some tube, and come back to see what kind of adjustments he needs to make. I’m guessing this is a five-trip/three pack job.
His AC hose season is slowing down, so we should see him again in the next few days.
More when he returns.
