Hamz's New Wizard (Harry)

[turnturn]

Must confess that I got caught out by that the first time I did belts.......

[Hamzzz]

hah, yeah, was just getting way too frustrated. ill have a go tomorrow, pull belts off, and then move compressor over to get that last bolt

[Hamzzz]

Well, finally got the intercool on and well, pitures speak

Here was the other nut (not me ;P ) behind the P/S pump to get them belts off


And belts off


so then finally got the compressor out the way, got my last bolt out, and with a slightly forceful power bar handle...


Drilled and taped the new locator screw


moved wastegate bracket down and left a bit and drilled a 5.5mm hole and put screw in (only one screw holding bracket on should be ok?)


And housing back on and rotated! woohoo. but im pretty sure i threaded the bottom left screw... not woohoo. but the housing is on pretty good, so i just left it hehe


And intercooler bolted on! good to see it on the truck and not in my room or workvan haha



And finally, a finished product, quick question for someone who knows the answer, vacuum line that used to go to old turbo pipe, there's a place for it on the intercooler but wouldn't reach so just blocked bot, but what is that vacuum line for?


Lastly, for those interested, i took a video of the truck running for a couple of sec's to show how the turbo is whining. keen to hear what people think

Pretty sure that line is not vacuum, but boost. Possibly goes to the top of your Injector Pump for boost compensation.

[Hamzzz]

really? crap, it seemed to run fine, i gave it a run down the road. my old wizard had this disconnected, but i might get some longer line then. also, anyone know how to loosen off the alternator? haha i got all new belts, saving timing belt for when i can be bothered, but the alternator, i undid the locking nut and started to loosen it off. i couldn't get it loose, so didn't en up replaceing that belt...

[turnturn]

Look for a line (small rubber hose) coming off your Injector Pump and follow it.....it should head over the front of you engine towards the thermostat housing and on to some sort of connection that has a boost signal.

Re your alternator. It has a similar arrangement to the power steer pump. Normally just loosen one fastener and adjust with the screw adjuster (from memory). It can be a bit stiff to move.

[Hamzzz]

yeah, i've never really changed a alternator belt before, cheers for that, ill have a look tomorrow

[isuzurob]

alternator has 12mm locking bolt, then some have the adjusting bolt on top you have to loosen, and loosen the 14mm long pivot bolt underneath makes it much easier

[Hamzzz]

sweet, so finished the job (kindof) and just need to paint the scoop and the places i used the grinder.

so started chopping using guesstimates



Ended up pretty bang on! it was actually a fluke haha, so pretty stoked really!


Got a little carried away with the grinder and cut a bit too much off the front'er part, so rivet some recycled hood to assist direct airflow


then i got carried away and finished the job without anymore pics, but heres the current end result


will paint the scoop, and the mesh that goes in it black and go around the edges of it with black windscreen\aluminium sealer

[Hamzzz]

well, i have got a job in perth so once again, my Wizard is up for sale... this sucks because i was just getting into this build.

So i have a rear LSD with 4.56 diff ratio, make a offer.
And Truck is up for sale to, looking for $3500 firm

Cheers
