Hello,
I’ve been lurking on here for a while and have picked up some really good info to help improve my LJ70
Mines a UK supplied 1992 LJ70 with a 2L-T engine, its about 175,000 miles, the engine has been serviced by a landcruiser specialist and I’m told is sound, its had some work done by previous owners like a straight through 2.5” exhaust and any bodywork rust taken care of, so considered ok to start making some modest improvements to the engine.
In my 15 month ownership, I‘ve had the pump & injectors refurb’d, manual boost control, boost gauge, pyrometer, profiled boost pin, boost spring and custom intercooler.
All of the above makes it much more driveable, I get 18-20 psi and EGT’s are ok,
I’m not mechanical so all of this work has been done for me by others, either local mechanics or specialist 4x4 Workshops.
My next focus is the turbo. Having read a lot of stuff online, I’m pretty certain I want to swap the stock CT20 for a TD04
I’m thinking a TD04L 12T or similar from Volvo or Saab as they have the 4 bolt manifold.
My question is, can anyone who has done the TD04 swap help me out with some detail on what parts, adaptors and any work is involved so I can take it all in to the workshop and get them to do the job……..i.e a shopping list and full instructions.
I’m a huge fan of these old 70’s, it’s been a bit of a learning curve for me but I’m enjoying the process and am having a lot of fun driving it.
