For the very few members out there driving a variety of Land Cruisers fitted with the 1HZ engine, I'm interested in how they perform.
I've had my HZJ80 for 8 years now and it's done 243k kms. It runs smoothly, starts first time, uses no oil, and all the commendable characteristics the mighty straight 6 offers.
However, as has been discussed by many of the HDJ 80 owners, whose trucks boast 130 MPH and other such nice features of the turbo version, I'm really interested to know if I should be trying to tune my injector pump to get those extra MPH out of my old girl.
From now on I have to talk about KPH because mine's a left hooker (LHD) but as I've posted before, I can't get more than 3,000 RPM in top (high 5th) comfortably, although between the gears it will pull up to 4,300 RPM and on a downhill motorway I did get it to 3,200 which IIRC is about 130KPH.
That suggests no problems with fuel delivery (and I've checked the lines, the scavenger filter in the tank, the injectors, the engine bay filter etc. etc.) and all the usual rest, air filter and the like.
So a poll from the HZJ fraternity would be useful, what RPM should I be aiming to be able to pull in top gear (it's a better gauge than speed I think)?
If it's more than 3,200 (comfortably) then I'll have to consider doing something about it!
Thanks all
