I tried all I could and they had the cheek to advise me to buy ’correct fitting studs’ as I did not know the specs for the landcruiser studs.Any way we disagreed and my garage me sent me contact for machinist at H&M hydraulics who machined four studs for me to suit the new turbo holes ...

I bought a new turbo ..max-speeding rods..and I am having problem as the new studs thread wont fit into the turbo side.The studs are from a full turbo fitting set FA1 PL. I tried the old studs and they too wont fit into the turbo thread!!! Andy one had a similar issue??? David

Yes turbo is out on bench! Its stuck with the flap closed..the thing is turning freely with no end play at all and i now think that the oil stains were from the breather and not that much anyway! Are you suggesting I open it up? David2001

I have a examined my turbo and all seems fine the only problem is that the actuator lever is totally stuck and immovable..I have tried lubricating and it wont budge.Dhame its a sealed unit!! where can I get a replacement item many thanks for advice David2001

This what it’s looking like ..maybe just seals gone?? You were right im having to remove the exhaust mani …!! david

would you then consider selling your old one and I could refurbish it for my 100vx???:smile: if it will fit to the 2001 100vx model engine?? david

would be nice to have info on how to actually remove my turbo from my 100 series..its on the right side!

I am considering installing a new turbo on my 100Vx as I am intending to export it to Zimbabwe when all is finished. Its done over 300K km I have no specific known issues but since I di the inlet clean up and saw the oil in the pipes let alone the gunk in all those places I'm wondering whether...

Ii agree its a down grade indeed....losing alll that varability for different situations!!

thanks useful info david

which DENSO injector nozzles fit the 4.2 diesel 80 series 12valve automatic ??i see some one talking of two stage set up.Is this so for this 80 series?? david

Thank you for the info.Im likely to get 100Ah if affordable or if. Toyota have that ! thanks david

With two 100AH batteries are there any changes you have to make on the car?I know you get extra current run time with engine off!Is that the only other advantage besides more power on starting up??
