The improvement is great. Is Giluma Diesel an authorised Nippondenso agent? I can also reccomend Fremantle Fuel Inj. (denso agents) here in the West. Enjoy yourself with that new found power.

It's a bit of a longish story so I will try to be brief and just hit the main points. It's a 1996 1 HD-FT manual with 120,000 Km, injectors and valve clearances were done at 112,000 Km and I was getting 11.5-12.5L/100Km, blowing more smoke than I was comfortable with, had annoying ticking sounds at around 1100 and 2200 rpm and to top it off it was not making good power above 3000 rpm. However, power did seem to be good from 1000 - 3000 rpm though perhaps a bit jerky if in too high a gear and below 1800 rpm. As an aside, I had approached Toyota regarding the ticking and my lack of power at high rpm and not being able to redline it. Which only resulted in one very dissatisfied customer. So I thought an intercooler would be the way to go. At least it should help with increasing the power and reducing the smoke. Well I have to honest and say I was not all that happy when I first drove away with my new intercooler on. Sure the smoke was significantly reduced and the 1000 - 2000 rpm range was silky smooth, but the top end was very disappointing. To Safari's credit they did say that they felt there was something wrong with the fuel pump and that they couldn't get any more performance out of the engine without risking damage to the engine in the long term. This is certainly a philosophy I would follow. So, based on a recommendation from Safari, I booked my L/C in for a fuel pump recalibration at B.J. Diesel in Dandenong (Melbourne, Australia). This changed a few things but by far the biggest change was the HUGE improvement to the top end power. Apparently the internal timing was not advancing! Also, as a side issue, the ticking sounds have gone! Finally, I took it back to Safari for a retune. This time I was fairly confident of a good result but what I actually got was a FANTASTIC result. Heaps of real smooth power that just keeps on coming with hardly a trace of smoke. I was very impressed with Safari going the extra distance with me on this troublesome install. I can highly recommend Safari and B.J. Diesel for quality work and a high level of customer service. here's the stats (just for Mick Barson): Fuel consumption: 10-11L/100 Km (now) c.f. 11 - 12L/100Km (before) 27 % increase in the min torque 24 % increase in max torque my min torque now is greater than my max torque was before! On Safari's 4wd dyno max power was104 Kw @ 3500 rpm and max torque 3900 N @ 2350 rpm (actually, it's > 3800N from 2100 - 2900 rpm) regards Mark Woods To: <80scool@yahoogroups.com> From: "George Couyant" Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 20:49:25 +1000 Subject: Re: [80] Diesel starting problems Reply-To: 80scool@yahoogroups.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Runar" > To be honest, you should not need to do that in normal weather (>- > 15C) in a Toyota.

Runar, you live and breathe! The experiences I speak of were brand new HZJ100's that were being fitted with intercooled turbos prior to first registration. They had to be glowed twice to start without prolonged cranking. Mind you, after fitment of the system and setting up the pump (and importantly static timing which tended to be all over the place from the factory), starting was a lot easier.
