Slowly getting things togeather on my home built manifold,trade me TD0516g turbo+3'' exhaust. Curious as to where folks have been sourcing there oil and water supply for the turbo? I'm assuming the vacuum pump supply and return are sufficient as far as the oil goes? Any help including pic's ...

Thanks for the response and the tips

[b]TD42 head or ex mani to borrow?
Lookin for either in the Taranaki area so I can start fabing a turbo manifold without pulling my daily driver down.
Any help,cheers

Interested in turbo set up. Still got it ? Can we talk?

Considering doing the same .What turbo did you use? How much? And what did your mate fab the manifold with? I was thinking of using Black But Weld pipe fittings and hand gas cut flanges .Mill the faces at local MC shop.Get friendly diesel shop to match pump and tune. Fab up a 3'' pipe with expansion ...

Hey dave I know you sold the motor but I'm just trying to get a feel for the market. What was the cond and how much was cheap?

Sound as if ,from what you're saying, that the best bet is to get right into it like Icedjonno and rebuild the inlet manifold, completely doing away with the whole thing. But I still wonder what that does to the engine management when its not geting a signal from a piece of the induction/exhaust ...

Yeah but which V8 diesel boy? How about a nice new 4.5L toyo turbo diesel? Ha Ha. I have a similar dilema.(most distressing) Turbo upgrade to non turbo TD42 with all associated costs or sell good diesel for how much?, and put it into superior engine swap .Prefer to stay diesel.

O.K. so I'm thinking a small blanking plate at the ex manifold is the next easiest option. Or is it better to go between the valve and the inlet manifold? After these what else ? I'm going to have a cooler ,cleaner intake charge with better economy/performance just like that with no downsides?

comin in late on this one, but would just isolating the vac hoses on the EGR valve prevent the valve from opening and therefore remain shut? This would require less fidling as the back of that valve is quite hidden. John you've obviously had a good look in there? Didn't you weld your inlet manifold ...

Can anyone tell me the recomended in and out clearances

I have the same model prado and I'm looking for a suspension upgrade. Could you please tell me what this truck got,brand, price and supplier?

I spent $4000 on getting the full,1 yr garenteed ,rebuild through Marshalls trans in Hamilton.Never got the full story on what went wrong,get this my Ma in law was driving while I was away on xmas hols.I had left it locked in my garage with keys hidden. Now I've got the extra oil cooler and the ...

I faced the same problem when I bought a jap import swb. I haven't figered it yet (maybe someone can tell me?)but I think about 3" lift. There's roughly 6 1/2" between 31"tyre and bottom edge of flare. Anyway I reduced my vibes by making my top arms adjustable. I shortened the tops forcing the ...
