Offroad-Express

"what?? you've got to be kidding me! someone must print one - do you realize how many of these things there are on the road?!?!"

Well, apparently nobody prints a workshop manual for the KZN-130.
Not Gregorys, Haines or even Toyota!
So where do I lay my greasy hands on all the technical information for the 1KZ-TE? Can anyone help me here I am trying to get boost pressure, oil pressure and water temperature values so I can put proper gauges on the dash and avoid cooking the head when I'm really pushing it - I'm already concerned that the oil pressure is a bit sad especially when obviously at full boost (the turbo must be hating me right now) but I just don't trust that poxy little standard gauge and I don't know what the oil pressure is actually supposed to be

anyone know where I can score a workshop manual for a KZN-130 or does anyone know if a KZN-185 one will be okay - as far as I am aware they are virtually the same except a facelift and ABS braking. But in saying that I also would like the correct wiring diagrams which are probably very different on the KZN-185.

what a conundrum.
