Where do I start?
Hi all. This is the first forum I have been on in the hope that you can be of assistance with a large project I am taking on. I have decided to overhaul my parents HJ61 Landcruiser factory 12HT G wagon. It is a one owner and in perfect nick. My old man took a lot care to keep the old girl going strong (being a farmer and all) but now after years of towing a caravan the 500,000 km+ engine is overdue for some love.
After recently detonating the transmission I have it fully rebuilt adding in a PWR cooler to keep things under control and oil temp gauge in cab. My next step is the engine. My good mate at Eastwood Engine Developments (in SA) and I are to do the rebuild (more him then me) but I need to source the upgrade bolt on's. I have been looking around for upgrades in the way of turbo packages and top mount intercooler setups and are hoping you guy's maybe able to shed some light.
Has anyone used the WA company Gturbo's Grunter or Bad Boy turbo upgrades? I haven't found anyone else that looks like they are a good quality company to deal with but if you have experience with someone else please let me know. Due to lack of room in the front of my HJ with other mods to come I am opting for a top mount intercooler. So far Cross Country 4x4 are the only ones I have found that actually do a top mount and have gotten back to me.
Thoughts? Advice?
Cheers,
TC
