Sounds like you got yourself a good 4wd, I had an 80 series with the 1hz and did the following mods: Extractors and Exhaust,
Fuel Pump Mod,
Snorkel, K&N Air Cleaner, you can also fit a
fuel filter that improves the diesel
fuel quality the one with the clear
tank i can't remember the brand. Anyway as far as the turbo on the 1HZ goes I would suggest to leave it off, the main bearing in the 1HZ motor can't handle the extra power of the turbo at times. The clutch should also be upgraded etc. Go the extractors and exhaust. As far as the
fuel pump is concerned you can modify it as it is mechanical with no electronic controls very easily or at lest an expert can. The point being is that the performance of the
fuel pump can be upgraded to run more efficently and offer alot more power to the motor. Basically a diesel specialist rebuilds your existing or current
fuel pump and refits to the vehicle. I had
mine done by Highway Diesel in Queensland (
Brisbane) THe extra power i got was amazing especially in third gear. You can contact these guys and they can build you a replacement pump and you can fit it for yourself if you are able. Regadrless of weather you decide to go the turbo contact a few diesel gurus where you live and ask for some advice, i had my
fuel pump tuned so to speak to offer more power with out going stupid on it just enough of a power increase to help the cruiser along but nothing that would damge the motor or
fuel bill. Let us know how yo go.
