Turbo HJ60 Landcruiser

No better on fuel but they go like the wind.
5th gear every were.
Hills just disappear.
You will love it.

All the best

Cant talk about the 60 turboed, But I turboed my 80 series and the difference was unreal, fuel economy improved slightly but once turboed you tend to drive it that way. The power IS worth it.

Hi Geoff & Jude
I to am looking at a 4wd Sytems Turbo for my Gq with all the positive feed back it looks like the cook will open the safe and let me get it
Safe Truckin

Got one. It had been fitted to the vehicle before I bought it. The engine had been modified at the same time with (I understand) different valves and bearings), Lots of power, BUT. I think you need to be careful with your gearbox. It is tempting to use that power, especially in 5th. I never accelerate3 hard in 5th, I change down to 4th when climbing hills and although I tow a heavy camper trailer and use 5th, if I think it is under load, (even a moderate headwind) i go back to 4th.
Have had no problem with it al all (but see yesterdays thread on turbo timers and my post re timers and EGA gauge)
Not having had one before, don't know whether fuel consumption improves or not, but I am very happy with the consumption on mine. Driven gently around suburbs,with lots of hills) about 12l per 100, or sometimes a bit better

G'day Geoff & Jude,

I have a 2h turbo and agree with all the above, they go very well. EGT gauge is a must with these engines in my opinion and while they will pull hard in top the gauge will tell you when to drop down a gear as the temps can get high quickly. I would also ensure that the cooling system is in top condition as the turbo does create extra heat stress with the extra power. I have a 3" exhaust fitted also. Good luck,

Dave
