Before you let out a big groan!!! This question is (I think) a bit different:
My thoughts have been turning to more power, and I am far from convinced that I should do it... but maybe I get a christmas bonus!!
Anyway I have done loads of pricing and looking at (pretty much exclusively Ozzy) 1HZ turbo kits. But then I threw it to one of our suppliers - in Holland, and got back the following after some questions about where the kit came from:
"1) The brand name is Toyota, The kits will be build with original Toyota Parts, (no Australian parts will be used) The offered turbo is a low pressure turbo, the turbo boost isn’t more than 0,55 up to 0,6 bar. It will give an extra 35 HP and additional Torque of 30 – 35%,
2) Without fitting the boost compensator the engine will not run 100% when the turbo isn’t switched on (below 1500-1800 rpm).. The turbo is providing more air/oxygen to the engine, this will gain more power but only when the engine receives more fuel as
well. The fuel pump must be adjusted to the need of the turbo. A standard fuel pump is providing more fuel on total the rpm range, but you only need more fuel when the turbo is switched on. Without the boost compensator, the result is incomplete combustion (black exhaust gasses) below 1500-1800rpm.
I have translated this from Dutch, hopefully it is understandable."
Now I am
well aware of the risks of turboing etc and for sure would fit a pyrometer and a boost guage. But I have never heard of a 1HZ toyota based turbo kit - can anyone shed any light?

I have a 1997 75series troopy with a 1HZ
I had an aftermarket DTS (now MTQ) turbo kit fitted in 2001 and the following was done by the Diesel Techs that were involved.
(1) Fit turbo kit.
(2) Remove pump and injectors and send to pump
shop.
(3) Pump serviced & tuned/adjusted (whatever they do) to take max 7lb boost
(4) Injectors piffed and 6 ones new supplied with matching spray patterns.
(5) Boost compensator fitted during (3) above.
The figures of .55 - .6 bar convert to 7-8.7lbs.
So what the dutch people told you almost matches what was done to
mine.
As to the Brand/make of turbo (Toyota) I haven't heard of them.
However I would
hazard a guess that Toyota most probably sourced/contracted a Japanese company similar to Garrett, Schwitzer etc etc to supply them with turbos for their production line and had them stamped Toyota.
Who knows ?????? - maybe a a turbo off a war surplus Zero. (LOL)
Good luck with it.
