That's a great idea, I did think about restricting that air flow other way's but that's simpler. But doesn't that come back to the same problem with the ecu? wont it think the ISC unit is faulty? either way I'll give that a go as well, and then see what code's it pulls.

TB is 100% closed, first thing I checked. At 100kph it sits at around 1800rpm in O/D

That's nice man, I wouldn't change it much more on the outside other than lowering it, will be a nice sleeper that way. Nice color too, shame about the damage:squint:

I'll give that a go next time I drive it. thanks. The reason the high idle is a issue is because when I put my foot on the brake and stall up the auto the back tyres will start to turn at 1500rpm. Kinda annoying when the idle is somewhere like 1300 The other thing is at 60kmph I have to ride...

(Just some interesting info I found on Toyota web sites about the new 1VD-FTV engine,) In another first for Toyota, the new engine has a graphite-iron cylinder block engineered to handle high pressures within a lightweight and compact design. The 1VD-FTV engine has aluminum-alloy pistons...

Just a thought,.... might be a dumb one but Im still gonna ask. Can you disconnect say the s1 wire so the valve would not sit in the full open position thus lowering the idle speed at start up, or maybe changing the s1 signal to the s2 signal so it sit's just that little bit closer. Problem I...

What 2 car's being towed by a Pickup? In Aus most people wouldn't bother using a 4WD for towing 2 car's, we'd just go buy, beg, borrow or steal a tray truck. purpose built to have one car on the back and then you just put a trailer behind it with the other car. This Toyota ute would most...

Yeah, jibby.... our boats and water toys are rearley 3500kg. And if they are, there too big to fit in the shed. The most heavy thing I would tow would be another car at about 1500kg - 2000kg's Come to think of it what would I possibly want to tow that's over 3500kg's? What to you guy's tow...

Just wanted to know What temp the auto trans fluid should be when running, As in what temp is too hot? Second thing What size aftermarket oil cooler should we run?

I think the main reason why the UZ engines are more popular is because of aftermarket support and size, the infiniti's are bigger.

The engine in the video has a different intake, and also this video has been around for ages. still they could have changed I supose. I was reading on a forum the other day that these engines came with forged crank and rods, and coated cast aluminum pistons. 6 bold mains with a cradle. But not...

More pictures Look's like thoes gears are for pumping oil

Really the main thing Im interested in is what's inside the engine, what size turbo it is, what standard boost is, you know all the GOOD stuff.:yumyum:

And also the new Landcruiser wagon's (200 Series) with this engine are supposed to have more power, maybe even twinturbo, sound's like we'll have to wait and see when they come out. I was hoping maybe this engine was also released in another car in say the US and could give some insite to...

All info at the moment is still not 100% sure. I read about this in the latest 4X4 Australia magazine The car was unveiled at the Brisbane Motor Show in February But the engine spec's have come from NZ, so it's just a guess at what the final car will have. And Pro there coming out in all new...

Just a quick post to see what peoples thoughts are on this new engine. It's a 4.5L single Turbo, Intercooled Diesel V8. Has 151kw and 430Nm Does anyone know any more info on the engines, like 2 bolt? 4 bolt? any forged internials? The engine code is DOHC 1VD-FTV

It is, we do get it here in AUS on SBS, but it's always on at some weird hour. best way to see it is to download it from the net, same as Mythbusters, infact downloading TV shows is the best way to see them, no ads, pause when ever you like. and in AUS were like 3 mounths behind the rest of the...

The best car show I've found is Top Gear, But they kinda have a thing agianst American built car's for some reason.:boggled: Has anyone seen the latest episode where they travel to the USA and each buy car's for $1000. They go on a road trip from Miami to New Orleans and then try and sell the...
