what intercooler set up do you have plus tweaks?
Hi Felix, I used a generic fleabay one, of a good size, I did have to move the grill forward because the cooler is fat, & swung the aircon condenser over to make room to route the pipes through, pip kit also off fleabay, deleted the egr system, & did the pump mods/tweeks, the Same as the Aussies do, A great site is IH8MUD.com | Your Online Toyota Land Cruiser Offroad Resource - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Great place for info on cruisers , the 1HD-FT, I would guess its about 200plus hp, its like night & day, there VERY undertuned out of the factory to meet the emmission regs, excuse my spelling pls, i posted a few more pics

Yes for the capacity they are they are very under stressed. Once mine is mechanically more up together I will be looking for a bit more power and torque. Especially low down they seem to be a bit flat. Did you tune it yourself or take it to a shop?
 
Yes I did it in house,my was flat as a pancake, no boost below about 1800 plus, now after tweeks it boosts from 1000rpm, but always best to get revs up a bit so as not to load up the bottom end, although there bomb proof, they had a fat block plate/girdle to stiffen it up from factory,

Thanks for the pictures of your set up. Nice to see one that doesn't have miles of pipework everywhere! I need to do some research on the tuning side, is it mainly a case of keeping an eye on boost and EGT while turning the fuel up?
