Hey guys, I have recently bought a 2006 hilux with about 135,000klms on the clock. I picked it up from Melbourne and drive it back to Sydney. Upon returning I noticed a decent oil leak and the at is now at a mechanic. One thing I also noticed is that the car doesn't seem to accelerate very well and I have been told that these cars should go pretty good below about 70klmph. Does anyone have any ideas on turbo upgrades and what are the good options as I have a feeling the oil issue is turbo related. Rather then replacing the stock unit with an identical replacement, I was thinking of upgrading it with something a bit better. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

Drew.

Turbo upgrades are expensive, even stock replacements are expensive, due to the Hilux running a variable geometry turbo.

Yeh after doing some research i found that that isnt really an option. My mechanic also said something about a knock coming from the back of the motor down low. Is that normal for the d4d engine? He isnt really sure and wants to get a specialist in to take a listen

.. :mellow:

You will get diesel rattle, however I would say that he is suspecting a spun big end bearing.
