Hey everyone, just purchased a toyota rukus and due to me being in a wheelchair I will be getting it converted to allow wheelchair access into the rear of the vehicle, now to the more important stuff! I wish to upgrade the engine to get at least 150Kw, I don't want to turbo unless completely necessary even though that will put it up to almost 200Kw so I'm looking more for a tune with upgrades such as headers, cold air, cat back and maybe cam if I put an aggressive tune on it, I'm not a mechanic so any advice or feed back would be appreciated! if anyone has done any engine mods please tell me what you've done and talk about the difference it has made

Thanks I eagerly await responses! ~Tait

      P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.

      Any photos or videos? Would love to be able to do the rear plugs and coils without the hassle of removing the intake etc. Also, how do you order parts from the Goss Mechatronics website or did you get it from somewhere else?

      P0356 - Ignition Coil 'F' Primary Control Circuit/Open

      Thanks for the video Ashley. Yes my connector tab also broke when I did the coil change mentioned above. I just put it back on without the locking tab and it hasn't come loose in the 8 months I've been driving it since. But now I will do this cable tie trick to be a safe. Thanks again.

      Head unit installation on HZJ79

      Hey team I am currently installing a new head unit and speakers, I have got everything wired up and power is going to the head unit, but I am getting now sound, just wondering before I start trading all the wires to the speakers. Is there anything simple that might fix that, I know on some cars that you have to disconnect the factory amplifier, but I cannot find one yet. Just looking for advice what it could be. It is a 2002 Hzj79

      Replacing the ignition barrel on 2007 100S LC

      I have a defective ignition barrel on a 2007 model 100 series landcruiser. I have purchased a replacement barrel with new keys from Toyota and also watched the available UTube videos. The original key was stuck in the ignition and would not turn in any direction. I have finally been able yo remove this key but the ignition will still not turn. The switch position is somewhere close to the Acc position but not very sure if that is right. The radio does turn on but that is all. I cannot move the switch to a position to where I can feel the lock button engage so that I can push it down so that I can remove the barrel. Can anyone give me an answer to this problem please. Thanks Spikeke

      P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.

      Very happy to report success! I did it by just removing the cowl, didn't touch the plenum or anything else. I only changed the one plug and coil. They both look fine. The plug was a NGK DILFR6D11. The coil was a VDO brand. Replaced with the same plug $23 and a $55 coil from Goss Mechtronics. I used the masking tape method to mark the wipers position on the windscreen. I removed the right side bonnet strut at the top and used a stick to hold it open from the from. It made it much easier. Idle nice and smooth and the error code is gone. Fingers and toes are crossed. Thanks for the comments.

      Engine upgrade ideas for 1991 LN106 3L

      Looking for ideas on a reliable engine upgrade for a Hilux 1991 LN106 3L. Just in the early planning stages at the moment. Located in Queensland - reliability, "non-electronic" and road legal are main priority areas for me, happy to go turbo. Not looking for crazy perfomance but something better than the stock standard (and now tired) 3L. Any ideas fromt the brains trust would be great!
