That vacuum thing is just a vacuum reservoir so you can use the clutch without having to wait for the pump to build up vacuum every time you push the pedal.

You are going to the wrong places for your warrant if you think you'll fail by sticking a turbo on a non-turbo diesel. Most places wouldn't even notice if the engine doesn't match on something like that; unless it's a broom-pishh type car, nobody except VTNZ and their ilk give a drat. Also an LVV costs like 450 bucks and most inspectors are far less strict than you would imagine if you're just doing something minor like that.

Raluek posted:So it sounds like you're saying that he should get a stock turbodiesel pull, and make sure the swap looks clean and stock, and play dumb if he gets called on it? Yup. Nobody bothers to decipher the toyota engine codes and double check that stuff except the pseudo-officially sanctioned testing stations like VTNZ etc. There are so many flavours and variants of japanese import floating around, each with their own super special engine/driveline/brakes/wheels/suspension variation, that if it looks 100% factory and not aftermarket (so no silicon ducting, resist the temptation of shiny bits etc)it'll very seldom be questioned.* Then if, by some incredible series of misfortunes you get pinged for it, you play dumb and get your cert (which you will because it's loving factory isn't it) and pay a one-time fee of several hundred dollars which you would be happy to hurl at a differential or bigger brakes or w/e. Think of it as just another price for having your nice interesting car! *:ricy cars excepted. Nobody gives a gently caress if your ancient 4x4 has a factory turbo diesel with a whopping 180hp or not; they're trained to fixate on non-turbo base model legacies which magically have a turbo and fully sikk suspension, mazda wagons which are like totally factory turbo bro with lovely chinese coilovers et al

I think the noticeably more wandering steering is just due to the new (old) secondhand tyres and the wear pattern not suiting my truck, but I wanted to be sure cos I'm driving 1100km on Friday. Got a quote for 4 new BFG ATs today but ughhh $430 each (33/10.5R15)  Welp, there goes my plan of buying a 4x4.

If you want motorbike tyres there are....two different companies. The market is too small to have actual competition so we get monopoly instead.

gimpsuitjones posted:Yup. There's the 1KZT and the 1KZTE, the TE has electronic fuel injection and the T had mechanical injection, I don't know if you'd ever find a 1KZT though. Good engine, makes heaps of power, just has a bit of a rep for cracking heads. 70 series Prados are cheaper than the heavy duty 70 series generally and a bit tougher than the 90 series which has IFS and more electrics and is more like a bigger uglier heavier more expensive Surf (get a surf instead imo) I have to disagree here, the 90 doesn't have any more electrics than a Camry, they also rust a lot less than the 70 Prado and the quality of the interior, plastic bits etc is substantially better (whether this matters to you or not idk). The 70 Prado is also extremely hard to find with a 1kz, most of them have a 2L which is poo. Also surfs are terrible overrated vehicles, don't buy one.

Don't use RTV with a gasket that is a horrible, horrible thing to do and makes things worse 100% of the time. The gasket will seal just fine by itself provided you cleaned off the mating surface properly.

I don't know if that solution is ideal because the transfer case oil 'full' level is a lot lower than the gearbox'. So you'll end up with an over-full transfer case (probably not a biggie) and an underfull gearbox (probably bad). But I'll defer to people who know more about muddy things on the matter.

gimpsuitjones posted:yeah dude, more cranking power for the high compression diesel or something Are you 100% certain it's a 24V truck and not just a 12V one that has two batteries in parallel? Cause 100 series, prado etc all have two batteries for the extra CCA but are still 12v; 24V gives no benefit to cranking at all because that's largely dependand on your amperage.

That seems really peculiar. Not that I'm doubting you guys, I just can't see why they'd convert an entire truck electrical system to 24V just for the sake of the glow plugs; it seems like far too much effort (cost) for production. But stranger poo poo has happened.

Ferremit posted:Some of the 80 series engines had 24v starters and 12v systems through some insane complicated system. On my 100 series turbo diesel toyota just fitted two N50 sized batteries in parallel and run that through a 3.5kw starter motor. Yeah all the ones I've ever encountered with two batteries just had this setup. Learn something new every day! 24v is definitely for starter motor reasons at any rate; I'm just thinking about poo poo like the radio, dashboard lights, HVAC etc would all need to be different.

How did you manage to use so few rags??

They are not worth it. The difference between an LSD rear and nothing at all is yuuge, but the difference between open and LSD on the front is small (on mud IMO they're basically indistinguishable) while a true locker provides a tangible benefit. If you could do the swap for next to nothing and you like getting dirty (good time to rebuild those swivel hubs!) then go hog wild but otherwise just save some more and get an actual locker. Not to mention the times you really wish you had a locker/LSD in the front is also the times the toyota front LSD's blow the gently caress up.
