If the noise is what can be decribed as a 'semi-rhythmic clatter' or 'slapping', check your crank pulley bolt. The are known to come loose, and the big washer on the bolt causes the noise. My GF was using our L300 as a daily and on her birthday last year the van died so to speak - well, the crank pu...

My L300 Exceed currently has some tired Bilstein B6s on and when I say tired I mean TIRED, i.e. the pin from one of the rears has snapped off completely haha... I have in replacement some KYB Gas struts (Part numbers - Fronts: 344111, Rears:343226) I hear good reviews about them and they are far sup...

Good stuff, in the meantime I can figure how to fit my gauges! But yes, I suppose a composite thread of things would help a would be newbie, but in essence - wind up the pre-load on the turbo wastegate, increase fuel pressure, adjust the boost compensator on the fuel pump, watch out for high EGTs (a...

Excellent info! I meant RICH not lean haha, the less said about my recent awake-to-sleep ratio the better!! :? I've skimmed across your D4BF thread in the past, what an effort indeed! Will have a fiddle with my van later but can't do anything meaningful till it passes the road worthiness (MOT) test ...

Nicely done! Mind if I copy-paste it into the reference library here? Just in case MDOC goes down? ...though you missed one trick. MD372348: Alloy Half-moon seal, replaces the rubber half-moon seal under the rocker cover. Use grey silicone (the stiffer, high-strength stuff, as used on the sump) whe...

I just posted this to my native forum, I hope it can be of help to you guys too!

The relief valve originally vents at 12psi, but as they get older and weaker they vent earlier. Generally if you want to go above 10psi you need to remove or modify the valve. Its function is to prevent excessive boost getting to the engine for long periods of time if the wastegate should stick clo...

Looks like the intercooler project is slowing down due to funds being piled into getting welding gear. Nonetheless, the over-pressure relief valve, do you know at what psi value it goes off at? Because I'm intent on running the standard turbo which is quite new, I've seen you say in another thread t...

I've had my fair share of boost hoses popping off on my Volvo haha... A really good trick is to use hairspray which will form a bond, it's a good point on the swaged lip though as to be honest I've no idea how I'll achieve that with a pipe that potentially has 3mm walls... I may in that case have to...

:-) LOL! Sounds fun!! :o Doesn't sound that bad to be honest, as long as the pin is easily removed, the drilling of the aluminium compressor housing should be fairly straight forward though critical attention and care would be needed. I assume in this case that to remove the compressor housing, you'...

Hey Growler, Just a question on clocking the turbo, did you remove the snap ring/circlip entirely or apply pressure with the pliers then rotate? I've just had the exhaust manifold decoupled and it looks a bit of a pig to get to, while I was in there I changed the oil return gasket too but my god did...

I actually found my intake stub and turbo inlet diameter to be 44/45mm(1.75") rather than 38mm (1.5"). :shock: Well, crap. The 1.5" reducer elbow I bought fitted straight onto both my original engine (1991 P25W) and the Hyundai replacement (D4BF) without any drama that I can remember...

I actually found my intake stub and turbo inlet diameter to be 44/45mm(1.75") rather than 38mm (1.5"). :shock: I tried to fit the 1.5" hose I'd bought but it was too much of a stretch, well it MAY have fit with hot water soaking, plus lube, and lots of swearing but in past experience ...

Ahh yes, that thing...

Not sure how you'd go about modifying it, but looks easy enough to remove and essentially blank - no problem getting BSP fittings over here of course!
Tallying up the prices to get the gear for these mods is starting to become a tad more expensive than I thought haha!

That's awesome! Thank you for posting these pics and YES I did mean boost gauge... Must have had a few beers before posting! :shock: I'm also very interested in the BOV delete, if you could provide a pic of that that would be great, I was not aware that this engine had such a thing being a diesel? Y...
