GOING TO BE A LONG WINTER.....

[arsnik]

first step. buy something to power it

Isuzu's finest

4JG2 from a 93 MU,

[arsnik]

get rid of egr shit. thin plate under neath and weld it up, plate on tinake side also

[arsnik]

ditch the pressure pipe off turbo in favour of a bighorn intercooler in the blind faith of cooler running and more power

[arsnik]

buy the $7 of mounts off a 2.8 bighorn from pick part which mounts it on a slightly different angle to factory 3.1 bighorns but nothing a big dirty bonnet scoop won't fix. I also took butterfly out of intercooler, dont run any quick warm up, the only vaccum advance will be the IP boost spensor. and some vaccum for the brakes. all the rest of isuzu's finest engineering vaccum lines an trick solenoids goes in the BIN

[arsnik]

pretend you have some idea on how to rotate a turbo an buy soe top quality supercheap auto tools to try rotate turbo. fail. will end up in a vice and get pursuaded with a BFH to rotate to .. and thats all the updates for the week. hoping to drive at end of next month, the only money i have to spend to get it going under its own power is driveshafts, which ill get a professional to make. have steel for engine mounts and cross member

[dasnoboarder]

Fast work mate, looks good.

[arsnik]

got to work fast or motiviation runs out an it will be a 2 year project. might get engine mounts made and engien mounted over weekend, weather dependent.

[bonkers]

great job mate keep at it......

[4wheeler]

Well at least you wont have the problem of the Toyota 2.4 D cracking heads anymore,Looking forward to seeing the Toyzu in action.......

The whole reason for another isuzu powered hilux as I am well sick of L series heads cracking. Have had a few yota's, L series powered and they really do just seem to crack, i factor an extra $1000 if ever buying L powered as its going to crack sooner or later. On the otherhand never had a 4J cook, though reading about it many have.

That looks like its going to be an awsome Hilux arsnik and the use of putting in t isuzu engine. i to have recently done i hilux (85 model) and when i recieved it it had no tray no wheel no motor no gear box and the interior was all ripped and rotted itl ooked simler to what your looks like. and it took me 6 months of rebuilding to getting it looing ok and a total of 2 grand to complete it. but i really like the direction your going in because the old 2.4 desiel was gutless as any hilux owner would know, ill try not to hi-jack your thread to much but here's a pick of what it looked like before i sold it

I don't think you'll be able to rotate that turbo housing as it's the stock 3.1 one. The bolts won't line up as they are not evenly spaced.

[geeves]

I always thought that but have since been told that they all line up except one which you can drill and retap

The myth of spinning mu turbo's and turning it into a bighorn turbo will be busted eventually.
Yes its stock 3.1 mu.
What do you know about the amount of force needed to spin them? It has been put under a small amount of force in a vice and is stil not budgin, maybe I am missing something.
I am happy to drill an tap new holes. It would save $3-500 buying a bighron turbo.

Cheers

[Yarno]

The flange will bump off with a soft hammer... There is sealant holding it on, so you need to hit it away from the turbo, your not trying to hit it around/spinning it there is way to much friction, just be careful of the turbine fins when you bump the flange off.

But as I was saying before the holes don't line up, I even went out to the stuffed one in my shed before I put it down here earlier, and I also was under the impression that it was just the waste gate actuator that was the problem but no, that could be the easy part to fix with a welder.

[arsnik]

Failed at rotating turbo. Didnt want to damage the seal as knew it was a good turbo so back to stock inlet in mean time.
its been shit wet an cold in wellington and my garage is my driveway so nothing happened for weeks.fail.

its been moved to a BIG temporary garage

[Captcol]

Was wondering how things were going, good to see the project is still alive, even if parked up

[arsnik]

its not "parked up" as it was in my driveway in the rain,
its getting 5 nights a week attention. a lot of help from a mate and beer involved.

engine in - hilux mouting points hacked off chopped a little an moved a lot with a bit of bracing, the sump has the bowl a lot further forward than a hilux but with some careful planning and a lot of expert engineering help it is mounted with over an inch clearance.



actual engine mounts were combo of hilux and bighorn with few chops an changes and


gearbox x member mounts been created from new


diesel primer filter dont appear on petrols


3 inch pipe being made - straight off turbo by a

my mate got pics on phone of 3inch pipe finished but will try get some myself it tonight

and of some news- we had it RUNNING last night!

waiting on drive shafts, and a lot of tidy up work
