Thanks Whiskey, I agree with you sooner rather than later. Im just worried no one can help me by the time I have to leave!

Thanks for the advice

Hi guys! Just arrived in Hartenbos from Jhb and noticed my front CV boot is leaking grease. How far can I drive before attending to this?

Also if anybody could recommend where to get this repaired I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

Very nice to hear about the bearing carrier orientation, I also want to know why this makes a difference? Mine was wrong way round as well.

Mornes

I agree with you. The two shafts need to be perfectly aligned on the splines otherwise a vibration is guaranteed. Joint will also wear excessively.The actual line up of flanges on diff is of less/no importance.

Great details here. I have fitted these larger tyres (285 70 17) recently and understand that the larger inertia will affect braking, but the problem stems from before this. Suspension is indeed raised by approx 50mm. I have an aluminium canopy and 70 liter fridge mounted permanently in the back. Br...

Mornes

The load sensing valve on my Vigo doesn't seem to make a difference to my breaking ability. I have essentially set it up max on an extended threaded rod with no effect. Is this a common symptom or issue?

Hi all. I am interested to buy a bluetooth OBD2 reader for my 2007 v6 Hilux Vigo. Do any of you know if the vehicle supports this protocol?

Thanks!

This is how it sits at the moment.

Hi all. Although the clearance seems ok for now, I do believe it is going to be needed for proper articulation. I have OME suspension in currently, but I'm a bit worried that a spacer is going to lift me too high and cause bad drive shift angles? Who could advise me on this? Thanks! Sent from my SM-...

Mornes

Done and vey happy! Might have to do front spacers..

Is it possible to chat to him? I also have a supercharger fitted so it would be a good comparison.

I cannot say with definitive certainty, but I think that 33's are going to catch badly. So what are the possible options to overcome the problem. As I see it, the rear should be OK with a moderate suspension lift but it's always the front that's a problem. You can only lift an IFS so far before you...

Mornes

Hi guys, I am itching to fit larger tyres and would like to hear from guys that have done it. I am considering upgrading to at least 33's on a 16 inch rim (305/70/16) and possibly to the 35 inch upgrade offered by 4wd Truckin or Muscle Trucks. I have an Auto V6 Vigo Hilux fitted with a TRD superchar...

I have a 1gr fe Hilux (4.0 V6) fitted with a TRD supercharger. Morne, I am also planning to force feed my V6 Prado at some stage, hopefully by the end of this year. :siffler: That is why I knew about the pumps.... A cold beer is the best you will get out of me...[emoji16] That cold beer does sound ...

Mornes

Hi Morne, I have the only solution for this problem. Take the charger off. I will organise the transport to drop the charger at my place me. I will dispose of it in a responsible manner :cooldude: :twisted: Put your old intake back and you fuel pump should not be an issue anymore! Pm me your addres...

Mornes

Thanks Johan, I have the pulley upgrade and it makes sense that the problem is now more pronounced. I will search for the Walbro pump option to see where I can source it.

Thanks again.

Mornes

Thanks gents.

Does anybody know what the standard fuel pump gives in terms of flow rate? i know pressure is around 2.8/2.9 bar.

Some of the performance fuel pumps available are 255/265 liter per hour.

Mornes

Hi guys, If there are any fuel pump experts out there, i would appreciate your input please. I have a 1gr fe Hilux (4.0 V6) fitted with a TRD supercharger. It is a known problem of the V6 engine to have a problematic fuel pump, causing poor starting, high fuel consumption and surging at mid range RP...

Mornes

Hi all.

I am looking for a supplier that sells performance (higher flow) fuel pumps for a V6 Hilux. I am running a TRD supercharger and need more fuel. If you know of someone, please send me the details?

Thanks!

Hi guys, any advice on where to have the rear diff on my Vigo overhauled/recon'ed. I stay on the West Rand.

Thanks!

Mornes

I have your solution - guaranteed. I had this problem for many years and it irretated me so badly that i was willing to sell the car. Toyota got so fed up with me that they ended up replacing the auto box with no improvement. After reading up on it on a cruiser forum I found that all say its the spl...

in town 6.5 to 7 and open road i did over 8 to namibia earlier in the year.

3.2 diesel?

Mornes

Mornes

I gained about 50 odd kw on the wheels and i must say you feel it. I pushed it this afternoon for the first time, it clocked the 200 mark in no time with plenty to spare.

Mornes

i surrender then :surrender: . SAC in Midrand did it for me. They fitted the TRD supercharger which is currently fitted to the Hilux equivalent in Australia. It does not deliver as much as other chargers such as those fitted at RobGreen, but offers a simple bolt on reliable solution. Everything bolt...

Mornes

Hi there,

Does anybody know how to change the ATF (oil) on a 4 liter V6 Autobox as found in a Hilux/Fortuner or Prado?

Mornes

great advice with the dust thanks.

overall im very happy with the conversion, has made it 200% more driveable, especially on the freeway where previously it used to gear back prematurely.

fuel consumption has slightly better on first tank.

Mornes

i fitted it....

Mornes

If you find a extra one, pass him on to me...

hi guys, some feedback for those of you that are interested. Toyota replaced my gearbox at my 80 000 km service.. i asked them to check the gearbox oil. they phoned me frantically to let me know the oil is black and 'burnt' and the box needs opening. it turns out a actuating valve on one of the gear...

Hi, I recently bought an echo 4 trailer with the trailer tent. I'm really enjoying it, but find the cover that fits over the tent dysfunctional with the valcro system. i'm sure this must be an annoying problem for others, has anyone successfully modified theirs to a better system?

i have picked up strange 'behaviour' from the autobox on my V6 hilux. it seems to stick in 4th abnormally long after doing a hill climb, often only changing to 5th on the downhill decent. Also it seems to have a 'half gear' in 4th where the revs pickup by 200 rpm sometimes?? anybody have advice or s...

Mornes

ok some good news for a change. my dad got his Prado back after repairing it and fitting a TRD supercharger at Van Der Linde. i drove it last night, and it is simply amazing. it hasn't changed it into a boy racer, but is now sooo driveable.

Mornes

does it go away/get better when you load the back end?

Mornes

i did my 'mods' in stages. i started by removing the cats and then extended it to doing the exhaust, branch and unichip. I did it at two specilists, RGM and SAC, so it might be difficult to compare. RGM says a standard V6 will do 103 kW on the wheels. At SAC i am currently on 140kW at the wheels, so...

Mornes

without saying too much too soon, the conversion was a failure. I will keep you informed in detail soon. watch this space..

Mornes

the TRD charger is very nice, apparently easy enough to fit yourself within one day they say. SAC fits it locally in SA, i drove the first one they did and i to was very impressed.

Mornes

at the moment it looks like either failed rings or pistons caused by detonation..

Mornes

my dad opted for the supercharger option, which looks to have gone horribly wrong. anybody have experience on what to do to get some extra low down torque for towing a carravan?

Mornes

they say you can gain up to 7% with a de-cat. its like removing your tonsels..
