How about:
Her oil is so black

I've had for a while now all the bits i need for the twinscroll he221w setup for my 13bt powered landrover, but procrastination has got the better of me.
Well I pulled my finger out and got started today. As I'd hoped it was relatively straight forward to join cylinders 1+4 in a nice manner. I didn't start on 2+3 as I'd need some more 45deg elbows. However I just now remembered that I did infact get more 45s that the steel shop had to order in for me, but I'd left them kicking about in the passenger footwell of my work ute and forgotten about them
It's too late now to continue, but it looks similarly easy to do 2+3.
My next step should probably be to see exactly how this will place the turbo anyway, as there's not much scope to alter this without starting from scratch. Engine bay space is limited on the series land rover so keeping the turbo tight to the engine is the go.

finally got a 3 inch exhaust installed.
was a perfect fitment, with the safari turbo engine pipe. also got rid of the exhaust on the outside of the chassis rails, it now runs on the inside all the way until the back.
good piece of kit.

Wow didnt know this existed... how often should these be applied?Fed it some of this.... View attachment 2611416View attachment 2611417
Probably not going to make the greatest difference to injectors that have only done 35k kms........ but thats what happens when you pick up parts from your dealer and this is staring you in the face

Yeah it's pretty cool. Toyota say use once every 2 years or 40,000kms but can be used as necessary to restore engine performance. 1 bottle treats 75L of fuel, for any tank bigger use 2 bottles.
Took Friday off work and headed out to a friends house to get started on the 2F to 1HZ swap this weekend. Finished preparing the last few things on the 1HZ on Friday afternoon, then pulled out the 2F on Saturday, and today we had the 1HZ set in the frame under its own weight and started hooking up accessories by late afternoon. Plenty left to do and a lot of miscellaneous parts that need to be ordered, and a few parts and bolts that were used for mock-up that need to be changed out. Super stoked on how quickly its coming together!

Where did you source the hz from? Possibly thinking of putting hz into my fzj instead of rebuilding it
I got the engine from Valley Hybrids

Got my new inline separator roughly installed inside the guard to keep it stealthy. I just need to make up a more solid bracket and ditch the redneck zip ties.

Got my new FTE head in.
I searched the globe for this and in the end a mate in Australia was able to get it for me.

Did a bit more fab work on the twinscroll 13bt manifold. Most of the previous 'work' has involved drinking beer and staring at it. I cut up the previous version as it was going to put the turbo too far away from the engine. This time 1+4 are routed to the lower port.
I'm pretty confident this is as good as I can get for turbo placement so when I finish the last couple of bits of 1+4 I'll come up with a plan on the best sequence to cut it apart and fully weld it back up to be able to try and access all the joins internally with the die grinder.

90 HDJ81 with a no start situation. Troubleshoot a bunch, pull starter - this bearing on armature has seen better days...
Frozen solid.
Took to old school auto electric guy who fixed some commutator open connections, replaced bearings, new OEM contacts, plunger, brushes, drive clutch etc. Got back this
Installed, held breath.... and still no start
Gnashing of teeth, more troubleshooting - long story short: Neutral Safety Switch.

Going through some of my spare parts today, got distracted with cleaning up my spare ct26. Now to put it back together and pump some fresh oil through the bearings.
Last weekend a buddy and I went out to pick up my 60 with the completed 1HZ swap, and the first task after driving out of the yard was to put it in low range and pull this 55 out of a culvert. My buddy had just bought it from my good friend Dominic who was the one doing all of the fabrication, wiring and finishing details on my conversion. It was a lot of fun hanging out on the weekends and getting this swap put together, and I certainly couldn't have done it in the same timeframe or to the same quality standard without his hard work and expertise.
I've been driving it all week and after the first 300 miles, there doesn't seem to be any major issues popping up. Only frustrating thing is that I hooked up the oil pressure sensor incorrectly and I believe I fried the gauge. ...but all in all, if that's all I have to complain about, I'd say this swap has gone pretty smoothly!
Only thing left to do now is source an A/C compressor pulley that matches the 1HZ belt spacing, and get some new lines made to mate an 80 series compressor to the 60 series fittings.
I also added a "Tiny Tach" tachometer the other day so that I would have something to reference from time to time. Was pretty happy to find out that it's backlighting matched the stock gauge lighting!
