Hi, I'm looking to source a CT Turbo for my LJ70 - 1992 first registration, exact production date unknown. Looking at E-bay there are a few Chinese based suppliers of CT20 turbo's. Anyone here any experience with the quality of these (chinese) CT20's ? Price range of these CT20's is around...

Totally agree - better get it fused. The part number is 90982-08236 - bit hard to find. Here is what it looks like. Definitely not available / on stock in where I'm at. The fuses are the wires itself - created to burn out on purpose.

The fusible link did its job and blew after replacing the connector with thick wiring. Now I've replaced the fusible link with a normal piece of wire. Have to look to replace that temporary wire too sometime. Now a few odd starts since the stem valve seals fall in place. To name few odd starts...

Its indeed a fusible link found near the battery. The plastic cap seems to show the fuse rating. The fuse is not inside the cap, just connector loops to connect the fusible wires. (2 pieces) The fuse is on the fact the wire (fusible link) which burnt out with Smoke & Smell after i replaced the...

Yes - glad I found the short-circuit, now starts like a charm in cold weather. Still baffled why there isn't any (heavy) fuse in the Super Glow circuitry. The schematics seems to shows 3 icons which seem to be fuses? In the Super Glow wiring in my LJ70 there is none to be found - burning out...

Hi, thanks for your thought - I went at it straight away this afternoon. Found the root cause - the wire connection to the glowplug railing was fitted the wrong way! The black isolation cap in the picture is now fitted correctly in the above picture. Before the wire was connected to the TOP...

Below a bit about the Super Glow pre-heating system in the LJ70. Bottom line; my LJ70 has a short circuit somewhere in the glow-plug system. My question: Any hints in finding a short-circuit? Her's the runnup of events with a few interesting facts; Recently, with the weather getting colder, i...

Thanks for the thoughts - much appreciated. A test with temporarily removing the metal tube between inlet manifold and turbo is a good idea. The condition to let the truck smoke blue is easy to reproduce. In the meanwhile I found a few bits of info why a turbo can leak oil at low RPM or...

The valves have been tested with a air pressure tool made from an old glowplug. Each cylinder was put under 8 Bar air pressure to have the valves pop-up during valve stem seal replacement. All valves were air tight during the procedure, no abnormalities there. The LJ70 has been kept on Idle...

More news on the white smoke issue - it's still there :mask: In the meanwhile the 2L-T engine has - new valve stem seals - new distribution belt - all valves & glow plugs tested OK - jets have been replaced - diesel pump overhauled. The new valve stem seals are installed without lifting...
