Some surf questions.

[CozmoNz]

thats like saying they have 4wd casue they go offroad often....

im unaware of any overboost problems, dont know why they did it.


some diesels have throttle bodies.


if its sucking cosmo, how can it be 0 vac? if it was 0 vac it would run. ALL combustion engines need vacuum to run

ok, im not going to try think it out, coz i cbf.

deisels have tbs to shut them off when you turn the key off >.>

close... but not quite... the comment on restriction in the manifold is applicible to BOV, but not vacuum in the intake.

there are toyota diesels that run a TB. which as stated is used to help shut them off..... but also to control the airflow. the 1KZTE which is a turbo does this
it probably acts more like a boost surge controller than a proper TB. but you get the idea

Most deisels have a vacuum pump on the back of the alternator and is then then distributed by little switches which are electrically controlled.

Surfs are crap, don't buy one as i don't want to see it on my hoist

Ive seen these lights on surfs, I recon green = most economical range
orange= power

I doubt it would have a 'overboost light' thats stupid. They wouldnt make the engine overboost from factory.
Ive never seen it on any other car, so why on a surf?

When I did my time at toyota, there weir at least 4 in the workshop getting overhauled etc , REAL crap engine apparently.
Apparently mitsubishi, toyota use the same blocks as their petrol engines. making them very weak due to the much higher stresses.

[Mr Revhead]

fandango.. not meaning to be rude.... but your all wrong there....

and they are not a bad engines, just the worst that toyota have ever done!
which is still better than a lot of others!!
