That banjo bolt of the oil return took me 2 hours to get threaded because I replaced my turbo without being able to get my truck in the air to access from wheel well. complete PITA
I just did this same job on my 04 Slux using Manta 3" single-piece dump pipe. But I got lucky undoing OEM nuts... and didn't have to remove turbo/manifold like you guys did. Good luck with it guys!
@@dingeldiy I would love to do a rebuild, put a front mount intercooler, and a bigger exhaust. I've upgraded the fan to ten blade, swapped out the radiator for a Fenix, do my services myself but lifting an engine out and doing a rebuild by myself is way too daunting. I'm a sparky by trade and decently handy but that feels way out of my pay grade. You make it all look Soo easy.
Is there benefit to taking the time to run the snorkel straight out of the turbo and up the right side of the truck, rather than out the stock air filter on the left? I assume the shorter path and not running over the hot engine would be better?
Your logic is correct yes. If you cant do it yourself your money would be better spent on an intercooler or an exhast. You also need to keep in mind that the factory air filter is massive and non restrictive so to do the car justice youd need to put a quality aftermarket filter in its place where ever you decide to locate it.

Hey, great video! Wish it was 1 week earlier haha. I also just did an exhaust upgrade on my 04 kzn165. What a nightmare it was getting that dump off. I had to take the turbo off too to undo the same rounded bolt as you. Would love to know more about how the boost tee install is done? Do you have a video on this? I'm wanting to get a little bit more power out of mine without going too crazy with mods. On a side note incase it helps anyone else, if you're upgrading to a 3 inch exhaust you may run out of space for your spare tire underneath the car. I can no longer fit mine with the PPD exhaust.
Not the worst thing relocating the spare anyway as its a messy job getting to it especially when you need it while 4 wheel driving. To fit the boost tee you need to intercept the vacuum line coming from the turbo leading to the waste gate. The boost tee in this video is 2 parts. The tee itself and the bleed valve to control how much air you want to bleed off. The benefit of this is that you can mount the bleed valve some where easy to access and dial in your boost pressre to the desired amount. Anything over 14 psi will require more fuel and a different map sensor to gain more power
I've worked with friends on cars (including a surf!) but unfortunately I don't have time to finish my car projects... Not enough time in the day 😔 hopefully more car content to come!
I'm trying to remove the four nuts/studs on the dump pipe and noticed they don't have the greatest access. I'm guessing my 95 series prado is a similar setup to yours. How long did the turbo etc take to remove?
the 3 inch downpipe will need to bolt to a 3 inch exhaust system. you won't gain much from upgrading the down pipe if you immediately bolt it to the rest of the stock system
Not sure how many clicks but 13.5PSI is a good number to aim for unless you have a hi flow turbo and a 3 bar map sensor. In that case I'd be aiming for 18 PSI
I just got a granvia 4wd 1kz and would love a good exhaust but I'm sure there's no bolt on. is a custom going to be worth it ? I don't know much about this kinda stuff lol
Sorry for going off topic, my 1kzte keeps hunting between 3rd & 4th gear, ECU has been fixed and tested on another 1kzte and it had no problem but when its plugged back in my car it's still happening. Does anyone know why it happens?
Hey i am considering a ct12b turbo on my 96 prado. Egr deleted top mount inner cooler straight pipe. . Everything is stock still besides that. Besides the turbo is there any other supporting mods you recommend? Any videos or forums you recommend to learn more about these engines?
Hey mate i just got my new 3inch exhaust and not sure if the exhaust part to mount on turbo is made for stock or aftermarket turbo . Or does it not matter?
Yes it does matter. different turbos would require different dump pipe flanges. Common flanges for aftermarket turbos are known as T3 or T4 flanges if that helps. if your turbo is just a high flowed version of your stock turbo then the exhaust flanges should remain the same.
Not sure how many clicks but 13.5PSI is a good number to aim for unless you have a hi flow turbo and a 3 bar map sensor. In that case I'd be aiming for 18 PSI
A bleed valve tricks the wastegate into staying closed for longer. The waste gate controls boost from the factory. Using a bleed valve to control your wastegate is the cheapest way to increase your boost pressure reliably.
this hilux has it removed. we also installed a factory manifold where the flange was blanked off when it was cast. Some factory 1kz motors never had an egr installed
Too be fair all winding up the boost is going to do is lean the mixture out and help it too run cooler Any power gained will be outweighed by the torque lost You’ll find you will use more right foot to compensate for that loss of torque and end up with worse fuel economy Boost is nothing without the fuel to match it
Usually you are correct mate, but I've proved on my intercooled 1kz_te surf that you do get a small increase in power and torque going up from standard 9-10psi to 11-12 psi with supporting mods.(Dyno proof) Any more then this with out adding fuel will definitely send you backwards like you mention above.
@@seanhutton7155 my 1kzte was running 12psi as of standard so I just assumed he was doing the usual jump from 12 to 14ish before factory boost cut with no fueling changes

Hey guys! I think I have the sister car to this! Imported and registered near on the same time!
Top work on the 3”🤘🏼
thanks for watching!
Wicked video also good job!! Not the funnest jobs getting the old turbos off these engines. I had extention on extention also. Great job!
Thanks mate! It's the worst but worth it in the end.
On my most recent (and last) time disassembling, I highly recommend unbolting the oil drain from the turbo instead.
Much faster, and easier.
cheers boss
I've got 93 KZN130 1kz. I wish I had a lift and you know how. Chris' looks sick!
Cheers thank you! Are you doing anything to yours?

I love the 1kz te
I've got more of a love hate relationship 😅
Ok, so in order to get that cute turbo whistle while accelerating, is that from putting the 3” pipe on or as a result of something else?
Thanks 🙏
Generally a result of a free flowing intake/pod filter and larger exhaust with straight through mufflers

Do you do work on people’s car? I am in need of an intercooler system in my 93’ surf 1kz-te

Loved this video.. what was the song you used.. sounded like old Solarstone or Cycles by Max Graham
Thanks for watching! I can't remember the name of the song, you can use the Shazam app to find out though.
Remember also, banjo bolt u don't want to do up to tight don't crush the washer to much :)
Good tip ❤
Mannn you guys are so cool 😎
The coolest cats on the block
What size is the stock exhaust? I just bought a 98 prado and it looks to be a 2 to 2.5" exhaust with a custom welded on tip.
Yeah that sounds about correct. Could be 2 and a quarter but it's best to measure and check
Where could I buy the 3" downpipe??
Get one custom made or look for one second hand. PPD sell them online but I've heard mixed reviews
I'm trying to remove the four nuts/studs on the dump pipe and noticed they don't have the greatest access. I'm guessing my 95 series prado is a similar setup to yours. How long did the turbo etc take to remove?
It took 1 or 2 hours. If you're on your own and haven't done it before i'd budget for 2 hours
I'm about to round the nuts of the dump pipe. Cutting off with a dremel mini disc is feasible option?
not the worst idea if you dont damage the threads
Good vid guys. Just wondering if the PPD dump pipe would bolt straight up to the Standard exhaust without any modification. Cheers
the 3 inch downpipe will need to bolt to a 3 inch exhaust system. you won't gain much from upgrading the down pipe if you immediately bolt it to the rest of the stock system
How many clicks did you manage on your boost tee?
Not sure how many clicks but 13.5PSI is a good number to aim for unless you have a hi flow turbo and a 3 bar map sensor. In that case I'd be aiming for 18 PSI
Thats a lot of work, good thing the side exhaust wouldn´t be allowed round here.
Most of the work was in removing the turbo. If we didn't round one of the nuts on the dump pipe it would have been way easier.
Thanks for watching!
Dose this affect fuel efficiency ?
Everything in this video, in a diesel, should either make the fuel efficiency better or keep it the same.
I just got a granvia 4wd 1kz and would love a good exhaust but I'm sure there's no bolt on. is a custom going to be worth it ? I don't know much about this kinda stuff lol
Can't hurt to get a quote from an exhaust shop or look for one second hand. Some dump pipes are available new online.

I'd also reccommend an oil catch can on it too if its running an intercooler.
good point!
Fun fact Toyota Hilux has the same engine as a boring old Toyota hiace
The 1KZ was also used in some older land cruisers too!
