We have done a quick build on a FZJ105 (petrol manual 105 GXL with factory diff locks) to be the family touring rig. It tows a solid camper trailer that has been more places than many will dare venture.
The Landcruiser has been converted to have the 1HDFTE then fitted out with a list of “essentials” as listed below
PID Mk2 front mount intercooler - the largest we could fit in the front with full custom end tanks.
PDI 100/105 Airbox - utilising 200 series element in a full cast alloy housing and over centre latches to secure the lid. Has 4” in and 4“ out with a water drain.
Gturbo red wheel Vortex - punches out a bunch of power while still having a strong bottom end.
DTE tuning module - tuned by GTurbo for optimal control of fuel with the high flow injectors.
PDI infinite adjuster for the tuning module to smooth out the power delivery with the cruise control activated.
+70 injectors to make it go well.
3.5 ratio diff gears.
So how does it go?
It punched out over 260kw and 950nm at all four wheels on the dyno. It clearly has no problem pulling the trailer and allow me to enjoy the drive without getting stuck behind caravans or road trains. A lot of the western coastal run doesn’t have many long straight overtaking lanes so being able to overtake on small sections or get around a few vehicles at a time makes it much more relaxing.
Plenty of torque to pull the trailer through soft tracks and get going. So far only a few days into the trip and even though it rained all night, hopefully it will clear up and we can get into Karijini and around the top side of the National Park for a look. Looking forward to engaging the diff locks and giving the system a full work out.
BTW - that means taking orders will be limited in the week before Easter 2019. Will be checking emails when we can but that isn’t easy without phone coverage.
