im looking for an external thermostat housing as my old housing has eroded away so much the thermostat wont fit, has anyone used them before or know where to find one? any info would be awesome.

Ive put -44s on mine looks mean. now the warrant guy failed me for increasing my overall track size by too much!!! is this an actual thing? i thought the tread block of the tyre just had to be inside the flares? anyone else had issues with this? ive come across this before with my 2wd ute, a old ...

i did the same thing, was turning the nut oh this is easy, oh wait haha. i suspect i also have worn balljoints to, my bearings feel ok, everything else looks good, so ill replace the balljoints and go from there. thanks guys

toyota surf kzn130 with 2inch body and suspension lift 33 inch wrangler muddies.now this seems stupid but my truck handles like absolute shiiit in the wet, if i hit a puddle or slippery surface it seems to dip in the left side. now i want to lower the front torsions, i managed to wind down the ...

this is my setup.

yea man, il try and get some good pics tomorrow for ya.my setup is abit hory, wont win any awards but does the job well.

if ya havent sorted it out yet and need some info. i run a custon intercooler setup using a nissan avenir sr20det intercooler, seems to work quite well, ive gone top mount on mine, there is a little boost lag but dont notice it in 4x4. only got it for 50 aswell so im happy with it.

the tap is setup properly, think it could b just a cheap tap, but ive so far done a custom intercooler and removed muffler to help with flow, ive just noticed that the boost drops off around top end and been told that the tap will help that is that correct?

sweet, i think ill just leave it alone, haha to used to fidling with petrol cars.

oh true, bloody new diesels haha, its been done alot before tho i think

by the looks of things its got a butterfly valve like a petrol and the sensor is on the oppisite side of where the cable connects onto. i havent got any pics but if ya google it it sorta makes sense, thanks for the help tho

no im not really sure,hahaha how does the 1kz detect fuel dosage, like the td27s have the accelerator cable on the govenor i get that but im assuming the 1kz has a setup like a petrol car??

sorry if this has been done before, tried to look but couldnt find anything what im after, anyway i have installed a boost tap to my 1kzte it was boosting to about 10 as usual, bit i kept winding the boost tap in and nothing changed, i wound it nearly tight and went over around 13 but let off. now i ...

the egr has been stopped not blocked,same sort of thing i guess, now with the butterfly removal how does that work, do you just straight unscrew the butterfly plate and leave it like that? or is there another way, because it needs the rotation of the valve to turn the tps??? correct me if im wrong ...

hi guys, now ive done a custome 1kzte intercooler setup and i had a custom throttle plate adapter made, but forgetting i have to make room for the idle valve(im assuming thats what that is) when i first got it going it had around 20 pounds of vacuum and idled very poorly, then it clicked about the ...

cheers guys, im not having any overheating probs so far just want to reduce the chance of it happening, will look at getting a new shroud first and look at my viscous fan.

wow. alot of good info there,will have to look at getting a shroud for first things, but very usefull information, thanks guys

hey that looks like quite a neat looking setup, what are ya after for it? and where are you located? cheers

thanks for your help guys

oh choice thanks for the info

hi guys im sorta new to this 4x4ing i was wondering if the clutch gets wet going through rivers and mud bogs and does that do any damage to it?

thats what i was thinking,will have to get quite a powerfull electric fan to match the viscous. yea mite give it a go some time, it dosent overheat but just want to prevent it if something goes wrong. cheers for the info tho.

hey i was wondering if i put an electric fan in front of the radiator fo use when offroading or towing to make sure it stays normal temp and use the existing viscous fan for normal use will that work???

located wellington.so far done coolant replacement and oils. goes well hasnt got hot when offroading seems to be ok, ha now how do i fit these EGT gauges?? ive heard alot about them. thanks for your info guys.

hey guys if this is the right vehicle, my brother and i were the ones trying to pull him out at the start, i am the driver of the surf, we tried to get him out but didnt have a long enough snap strap for both trucks so we carried on ahead, later on in the day we came back to find him still there and ...

hey guys, newbie here i was wondering if someone has or knows anyone with a top mound intercooler setup for my toyota surf 1kz, i was thinking a front mount so it dosent get the heat from the top of the engine but i need the factory intercooled intake, some help on the subject would b awesome, cheers.

ive met a few people that have done the turbo mod to the rd28, they say it can handle it quite well, but that could b just their luck, but if all else fails the price of a rd28 is fairly cheap compared to other diesels.

just got my first 4x4, toyota surf 1kzte manual body lift and suspension rolling on 33s, loving it
