Re: Hilux Vigo 2.7VVTI 2TR Problems

Hi Gielie
Have jou checked the actual fuel pressure? A bad fuel pressure regulator can cause that. Does your vehicle have a airflow meter?

Re: Information needed for 3RZ turbo

Thank for the information Riaan good to hear I will see about the angel of the engine when I get there. If the gearbox and bell housing allow me to mount it straight up l will do so.

I agree with Mud Dog not all pretty welds is strong. Well done at least you can be proud you are doing it yourself. Nothing trumps that 💪🏼

Re: SFA rear disc conversion issue

Hi guys also some times air can oscillate in the system and would not come out. The peddle feels spongy remove the pipe coming from the back to the master then use a pressure bleeder and force all the air out. Then make sure your master is bled properly before you reconnect the brake line at the mas...

Re: Information needed for 3RZ turbo

EFI is definitely not going to make that huge difference but what it will do is make your vehicle very drivable when off-roading. It would not have problems with bogging and stuttering on very steep inclines. Also if you’re thinking throttle bodies you still need EFI. On the branch side a four into ...

Re: Information needed for 3RZ turbo

Hi Bear I suggest that you fit a EFI first. When you want to turbo your bakkie you have to have EFI. As for turbocharging it is not worth the effort and money to boost 0,2 bar. Fit the EFI first then if you want to turbo or supercharge or swap to a different engine you already have EFI.

Re: Information needed for 3RZ turbo

I will try and post some pics I have never done it before. As for the moter it is a standard 22r. I have dropped the compression to 8,5 to one. I have flowed the head double valve springs. The turbo is a concoction of allot of experimentation. The intake I have made myself it works very well. As for...

Re: Information needed for 3RZ turbo

Hi one of my friends is nagging me about the engine he has first option. I am still using it as we speak. I’m busy building a new stainless turbo manifold as the old one has served me well it lasted four years. I will definitely contact you if he is not interested anymore.

Re: Tuning and understanding your Toyota viscous fan clutch
