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?

Forget the Hi Con. Put an aftermarket turbo on. Denco will look after you.

you do not think hiclones are value for money? I am wondering if i should even spend money on performance parts because it is only a secondhand landcruiser

Brian, at the risk of some debate, HiClones are a waste of time and money. Your decision on the parts, if you want performance you pay for it I guess .

Brian, I have Hiclones on my 1993 LC80 (same engine as yours) and it made absolutely no difference - not even 0.1 L/100km difference. Complete waste of money like most things that sound too good to be true.
My brother has put decent extractors and exhaust on his 3.3L MQ Patrol and the difference in pick-up and holding power on hills is amazing. I'm doing the same on my LC80 when I get to civilisation.

I like to idea, but I can still buy a lot of diesel for $5000. Maybe I can get SWMBO to work a bit harder to pay for a turbo kit. LOL

i've just put Genie extractors on my 80 series at 220k and can't believe how much of an improvement it made to pick up and low down grunt. Wish I hadn't waited so long now

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

Dear Brian
We offer a turbo system for the Toyota 75 series kit valued at $3130 including a full 2 1/2 " mandrel bent exhaust and $2685 excluding exhaust. For optimum performance we recommend the turbo systems should have a lkarger exaust fitted. Fitting at our workshop is $440 this includes a before and after dyno
test. Please contact us if you would like dyno figures on this vehicle. You could usually expect approximately 30% increase in power on the vehicle. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.
Cheers

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.
