I have just recently bought a 1994 '75 series lancruiser ute.
It is a naturally aspirated diesel and i wanted to know what would be the most effective way of gaining pick up speed and power.
It has done just 140 000 kms and i get 7.78km/l or use 12.85l/100kms around town.
Would a hiclone, extractors or an aftermarket turbo be worth putting on or is it best to just leave it as naturally aspirated?

Mate! if you put Hi-clones in you will get as much improvement as if you you hung your naked butt out the window at 60kph.
You may however change your luck in other areas.
I have a 75 series Troopy and tried those suckers (absolutely nothing) and eventually gave them away on this
forum to some dude in Qld who couldn't get his hands on them qick enough.
He has never ever replied as to whether or not he tried them or if he did what was the result.
no doubt has chucked them on the scrap heap where they belong.
I ended up puttin an after market turbo on, and it now goes like S . .t of a shovel.

Best performance gain would be to fit a factory turbo motor in ....straight in.....
cost would end up on par with a aftermarket turbo, once you sold your old donk...
but most would say turbo it, and i would agree....but if your chasing real power...trade her in on a fzj75 and blast away...the 1hz and performance arnt meant to be in thesame sentence....however, dependable, reliable, torquie are...

another way to get a bit more power is to buy a fast one in the first place. I have driven plenty of near new and some older ones and it seems that no 2 go the same

Start with new injectors, new fuel and oil filters, extractors and then get the fuel pump tweaked. You can get a heap of grunt out of the 1HZ with a fuel pump tweak. It will blow your economy though. $1000 max.
Aftermarket Turbo will keep the economy (or in fact improve it as
mine did) and give you heaps of extra power. MTQ engineering did
mine for $3200 fitted. National warranty with national workshops. They are on the web.
I have owned several 1HZ's and they all drove differently. A mechanic mate adjusted fuel pumps on them and they really get up and go. Depends how much you want to spend.
