decided its time for a real engine so will be swapping out my old engine in a couple of months
While its still in and running Im just wondering if anyone wants it or the turbo setup? If youre interested you can test it out.
I dont want much for any of it.
The engine will need some work eventually. its a '96 1HZ done 154ks, but I believe it has low compression on one or more cylinders, may be bent rods. About a year ago I drove it through a bog and it sucked some water into the filter and ran rough for a few minutes, then came almost right again.
At the moment it misfires for a few seconds when you start it from cold, and also misses when it is revved whilst being lightly loaded. It makes white smoke when this happens. On the motorway it runs sweet.
I was going to strip it down and fix it but it never got any worse and now Ive decided on a more serious motor.
The turbo is a CT26 from a 7MGTE Supra (same as factory landcruisers) and works great.
Some parts are well made like the exhaust side, but the rest of it is a bit rungus to be honest,
although its results that count I guess and It has good midrange torque and has never given any problems in the 5000ks its been turboed. Its composed almost entirely from peices I had lying around.
I have a Subaru water to air intercooler setup I was going to use but never got around to it.
any interest?
Cheers,
Matt
