I wonder is the gauge off, something isn't right, I had to do some minor surgery on the gauge recently so could have bodged it. I'll check the tubing for the boost gauge first anyway. Hard to tell but looks to be burning clean, only smoke if I floor it. Still have some vibration though on hard...

I need to re-calibrate the tacho as the new fuel pump is making the RPM read lower. Anyone an idea on how I go about doing this? Nothing in the Ellery manual on it that I can see? I've had the dash out but its all electronic, needle doesn't move manually, reverts back if moved.

Thanks Beau, I was advised by KR to go with 0.77 and the EGTs are much better plus I was getting some pedal/engine vibration when punching the throttle at 0.60 but only marginal now. So the tune seems good for now, getting the turbo to boost to 20psi needs quite a lot of throttle and I haven't...

Had a go at checking the pump timing at TDC. In my Max Ellery manual the reading for Europe is 0.39 - 0.43mm, for other countries it is 0.58-0.62mm. Tried it at the Europe setting and it definitely didn't like it so then thought because the pump is from NZ I should set it to the other countries...

Few more parts arrived. Happy with how it looks, Seems well finished. Can anyone tell me if little plastic disc is meant to be in the clutch fluid reservoir? The clamp joiner thingy arrived also, can't see it failing, clamps down solid, wonder if it is noticed would it be an issue...

I haven't got it tuned with the dial gauge yet but it ain't far off. This is before I've turned up the boost on the turbo, the little engine knock from before the install is gone now. Have to sort the throttle cable before I can take it for a test run.

Bit the bullet and attempted a start up yesterday. I took a 12v supply off the ignition in the end, a black and red cable that initiates on first key turn, from looking at the electrical schematic it is linked to the alternator. Took a bit of priming and turning over but it eventually caught...

Cheers for that mate :handgestures-thumb: Think I might be able to get the loan of a toyo timing tool :handgestures-finge: I reckon this gauge would be up to the job? Draper 51855 0-5mm Metric Dial Test Indicator - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Yes it definitely does help, cheers man. Next question, what type gauge would fit onto my pump? Googling a dial gauge for a denso fuel pump doesn't bring up to many finds :( Tried some local motor factors with no luck. I know the diesel guy I talked to has one but he is hesitant to give it out...

I'm getting there with the wiring, bit by bit. I'm thinking of using the dial gauge to make sure the pump runs correctly, rang a diesel guy round my way who has worked on a lot of toyo pumps and he reckoned to move 1/8th of an inch from the centre mark towards the engine, this usually has them...

Yep, just checked the regs and it needs to stay in if the engine was manufactured with it in the first place. Cheers lads:handgestures-thumb:

Thats a thought, it's classed as a commercial vehicle, I'm not sure if the visual inspection of an EGR is performed, they do an emissions test alright, but must look into it.

There isn't too much info out there on completely getting rid of the EGR. It's been blanked off a good few years but now that I have it off I'm just thinking of getting rid. I know there are a lot of vac lines interconnected everywhere on it, are there drawbacks to removing it completely?

Cheers Beau, EGT and boost gauge installed already ;) 3 inch stainless exhaust with modified dump pipe also and a FMIC so she is set up to handle it :handgestures-finge: I didn't want to take the rad out but had to in the end, going to change it now also I think. Took a punt on a aluminium...

It's one washer, although it does look like two. I've been told by someone in the know that it is flat side down into the injector position in the block.

Yep so 12V, getting some advise on wires to hook up and whether to set to ECD like you've mentioned Iwan.

Have to wire it now. I've seen a guy on another forum that wired in the tacho (engine speed sensor connector) and the spill control valve. So on the manual pump there is a plug with there cables going to it, one from the spill control valve and two from the tacho. Plan is to cut the cables...

Cheers lad, see how I go! I've been told by KR to change nothing on the pump without talking to them, it should be set up pretty good as it is for boost circa 20psi, so I'll see if it starts first and go from there. Had to take the Rad off to get a good swing at the pump pulley nut and it...

Sorry for dumping another thread but may as well keeps things in order :yum: Doing the full overhaul and the injectors I got from Kaiapoi repowers are going in now also. Quite a bit of carbon and dirt in the injector seats. One question is the copper gasket that you put in first, it has a flat...

Just starting into this, read a few manuals and watched a few you tube clips but I still am unsure as to the position of the crankshaft. Max Ellery manual says to set the crankshaft pulley to 30 degrees to the right of the timing marker? I'm at the stage of pulling the pump and it is solid in...
