Hey all

Well i picked up the replacement for the Sportivo this arvo. It sure as hell is a lot slower but prolly a lot more practical for what I want and need to do these days. Here are a few pics I just snapped in the dark so they aren't really good but will get better ones in daylight. Colour is actuall deep metallic purple although it looks blue.

geez thats a tough call.. i still cant make the call over what id really like to drive...

the freedom of a 4wd vs the compact fuel efficiency of a hatchback?!?

really cant bare 2 part with either of em unless i can get the best of both worldz in 1 car (highly unlikely)

edit: took this pic 2nite

Dont' drive it any different than I did the Sportivo apart from not having to crawl over speed bumps and having to judge bigger gaps in merging traffic as the acceleration isn't quite as good as the Sportivo.

Well I Went to CES yesterday and the plan of attack looks like it will go something like this...

Stock XR6 turbo factory intercooler

Stock Nissan S15 200SX Turbo

CES custom manifold and dump pipe

CES exhaust system to suit

dyno tune to adjust injector pump

Doing this on a budget and knowing the right people who already ahve the stuff you need is also a bonus.

So the Hilux will certainly be moving along a lot faster soon......

And your doing all this to the 2.7L...

This is just my opinion but that engine wasn't designed for up high power it's torquey down low n thats about it, so by throwing a turbo in you'll be going to be working against the grain of the engine. If this was me, a more sensible way to spend my money would be to throw in a 3VZ-FE or 5VZ-FE (or I would have bought the 01-04 SR5 models which had 5VZ-FE's stock).

This is because the VZ series engines are all pretty over built for their appications (with strong internals that can easily handle high power forced induction).

But I understand it's all up to personal preference and you probably want to be unique.

O well I guess ur only option now is to prove me wrong! :P

Good luck with the project anyways SB I love my luxy's

Mate this is going on a 3.0 diesel!! Didn't want a petrol as i am going to need serious low down torque for towing as well as some decent economy!!

I apologise and retract all previous statements!!!

My Dads got this Hilux (although not SR5), and yeah it REALLY needs a turbo (but he wont get one <_< ) :lol:

If you were in Sydney I would have recommended Berrima Diesel for the turbo job... but you live in Qld hey

You going to be 4wd'ing with it? If so Cape York trip is VERY HIGHLY recommended ;)

Make sure you keep us updated on this project!

my uncle is a mechanic in mildura....loves his toyotas and has had hiluxs and corollas and landcruisers all his life....i know afew years ago...prob your model he fitted on his own as a trial and then onto heaps on customers cars a turbo system with intercooler etc...i could prob find out some stats if you needed info etc

he isnt a hack either....50 + years experience.....his ride on lawn mower is powered by a datsun 200b motor...runing at 7:1 ration....aeroplane tyres ...etc...flies along..and he works as a head mechanic at the Karatha (prob wrong spelling) gas turbines when they pull them down and do the full rebuildat certain interims...let me know if you want any info

Why don't you get CES to knock up a custom reverse facing Snorkle made from 3" SS? Saw one last week on a Patrol, looked (And sounded) sweet!

Are you sure a T28 BB S15 turbo would be the go here mate?

I think they got a .60 (.43 on the RB26 N1 version) exhaust housing which isn't anywhere near big enough for a diesel... are you getting the housing modified at all?

I would also be reconsidering the XR6T stock cooler...from guys that i know who have done a bit of work with the XR6Ts, the stock cooler on them doesn't go very far at all...since the pipework is going to be custom for that anyway, why not just grab a budget bar & plate cooler from JustJap or something? For core only a good size is only around $150 with certainly enough efficiency for your application.

I know you aren't trying to build a race car here, but if you are making a torque producing workhorse you want it to be durable in all sorts of conditions....the proposed setup looks ready to blow at >4k rpm on a hot summer day (yes i know the redline of the car is probably about 4.5k :P)

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
