Hello boys,
Been posting before about upgrading my 06 1KZ 4 speed auto with cooler ,has 210 ks on now I think it runs fine 12.2 lts per 100 ks just less than 18 with the van on,all up about 2250 kgs there abouts got a 3 inch exhaust and that's all, always reading PP some very clever and most of all experienced blokes here ,
haven't done the injectors or glow plugs yet but reading Anths comments about glow plungs I must make a move soon,
As most of you know the 1KZ is a bit weak on the hills towing , so thinking of Injectors and glow plugs and a chip , turbo shop not far from me in Balcatta in Perth very clued up on turbos and dyno tuning , GTURBO
. made some recommendations for a DTE MODULE and dyno to tune , most of it went over my head , plug into this ,plug into them ,boost will go to 18 etc. but he has a good reputation I read, and could do different stages of tune with intercoolers , and different turbos etc ,but for what I wanted the module and dyno was fine without compromising my motor and fuel economy to much.
He did say that when my head cracks,(not if,) he has good heads for the 1KZ, so like the D4D with injectors, the 1KZ has head problems ???
Then Ozbush comes along with a manual mapper gizmo and has me watching his progress, the mapper or a chip ,another clued up PPer I respect , very informed.
If I go the other way and look for a used D4D that will cost me more $$$ and don't know if I'm buying a lemon,we've all heard about Injector tales I know percentage wise it's sod all for the amount of good vehicles out there but how do you pick a good motor, are they running ok before problems and just fail at any time or can you pick a dodgy one , I know there are people like #### who deal with them on a daily basis and might be able to pick a dodgy, but don't think I could , petrol is a bit different to me you can usually hear something not quite right but diesels all sound Noisy to me , big endy if it was petrol , imo.
Sooo , keep the devil I know and really like and do Injectors glow plugs chip dyno tune for about $ 3k Ish ,clean out my possible crap from inlet system , could probably do that myself with references from PP,
Or look for a later vehicle with hopefully a better engine ,
I must say I'm not a rev head just the towing the van that lets my 1kz down on the hills,normally travel at 90 ish with the van in tow,
Thanks for reading.
Cheers Alan.
