I have a 2011 kia sorento and a 2009 kia borrego that have the start up rattle for over yera, I found that if I park them at a sligh angle, the front higher than the back there is not start up rattle.

I've had mine deleted.. I have pwr intercooler..my water temp gauge seems to have very high readings but my gauge on dash normal

What engine oil viscosity would you recommend for lc300 diesel?

Hi peter. My 1GD has been tuned and had the egr disabled. Can the egr water lines be bypassed to prevent coolant entering the motor in the event of an egr cooler fail

I recently purchased a 2017 sr5 it makes rattling noise when accelerating the sound is really bad when it’s about 1500 to 2000 rpm and while turning it rattles no clue what to do so stressed

Do you know anyone who could rebuild a 1fz-fe from ground up for my Fj40

That is something I have realized with some of the other so called mechanics in Australia 🇦🇺 they get offended if anyone call them out on there BS especially mr 4bee4 knows it all joker I understand ,do the video on the cracked piston’s let the info talk 👍🏼

Did the Last model 1kd prado (2015) get upgraded injectors and pistons.

So you use art genuine pistons for the turbo build ?

Brilliant. Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge !

Have filled out an online inquiry about a week ago. Haven’t heard anything back

Which year model prado received the 110 piston in Australia

Superb explanation. Thanks.

Hi, Does these tricks can be done on 2GD (mine 2017 with 115K) thanks

Hello I am Yasser Mohammadi Engine designer I am currently working on a breathing engine project And I ask you to please help me so that the world can breathe sooner thank you Yasser Mohammadi

1kd vs 1gd whats your thoughts for someone looking to buy a prado

Also your video isnt complete, I'm assuming you start to warn against pressure testing the cooling system to find the leak as it could force coolant into the intake where it could hydraulic lock the engine and bend a rod?

Hey mate, just a clarification, the A/C condenser is in front of the radiator, so radiator/engine temp does not affect the cooling ability and pressure in the A/C system. The reason it cuts out is due to the ecu having a pre set temperature threshold, once head temperature reaches that, it will cut the ac compressor to help engine cooling in the event of an overheat.

Spot on Peter, you got to look at the big picture. Having an issue right now with the 1VD, pinging under load, just trying to identify which cylinder and what it might be, cars got 41k kms on it, had been on it side in a ditch, oil in exhaust which we cleaned up, initially had misfire and rough idle codes which have now cleared up, any help is appreciated ty

Hi Peter, I have a 1VD-FTV in a 76 series that has a pinging sound during acceleration when you change up gears, the car has only 41k on it. Could it be a faulty injector?

Would love to see a video of how to get the camera down to look at the left turbo. I have a borescope, just need to know how to do the inspection.

Hi, have the turbos got a strainer / gause filter in the oil supply from factory ?

Awesome. Have you performance modified a 1VD?

How do I contact you?

Hey you say 1VD has poor ports have you worked on the ports to make em any better

WOW! what a sloppy pile of shit! That is a HEAP of backlash for a gear that small, and wtf is with the endfloat?? How do people think toyota make great diesel engines?????

Very informative

Love your work & tips about doing things right the first time.

Well explained.😊

This is really interesting. When you turbo a 1HZ, do you take the engine out of the bay? I have an NA 1HZ and have always wondered what this kind of work would cost?

Interesting.

100% WILL split/crack the piston crown on a 1HZ aftermarket turbo build. Even with a really mild tune they do it. Head gaskets have always been an issue with the 1HZ as well as cracks between in the centre of the head. Sad really since the block material is really good. Ive never ever seen a broken ring land on a turbo'd 1HZ, only dozens of split pistons. Only time ive seen broken ring lands is when the "locals" used a petrol rag over the air filter to start them instead of replacing glow plugs. Over all they respond well but dont last, even when "built" for a turbo. Better off getting a 1HDT, much better option in every regard.

The EGR pipe wrapping around cylinder 1 inside the head casting is bizarre... I'd love to know more about that Peter. I have previously always left EGR systems alone, just regularly cleaned it, but figured the engine is designed to run with it so don't f***k with it. But it sounds like the EGR gets #1 piston bloody hot, and I wonder if this is the most common piston to fail? Leaving legality aside, would a blanking plate (with 7mm hole) in the EGR cool this issue down a little?

Ron here u make a lot or sense mate

Great vidio. Is there oil gause strainers in the toyota turbos from factory or in the replacement turbos ?

Another great video. Is it possible to incorporate some of this low friction design into say a 1hd-fte if it were to be rebuilt?

Very bad voice quality

Guys do you recommend this engine .. or i should go for V6 gasoline engine ?

I change my injector and my 1kd start giving back smoke?

Hi mate My car V6 Prado 120 outing patrol, I liking for Engine to change, can you please give me number or address, to give him chats, For price I live in Cydny, NSW Tank you

I would love to change my pick up every 100k but when you own a 2006 Hilux 4wd; better you change oil regularly. Thats an engine out job

Pretty funny for a vehicle that needs to be reliable out in the boonies Just junk.

Nice.

Exactly why I've sold my Hilux can't take that risk, isuzu dmax on the way!

How much I need one!

Like the way you work and talk through the job

Hi I have a 2020 76 Land Cruiser will that have the same problem

How can I purchase the shafts and sockets

Hi Peter, Is this still an issue for the newer D4D Prados? I have noticed mostly the 2010 to 2013 models are affected, would love to get your feedback. Contemplating selling my Prado for a new 2.8GD-6 or getting a newer 2019 / 2020 D4D 3L. Thank you for your straight feedback and awesome content!
