Yes the engine seems the right vintage. I cannot see the oil filter in the pic, that should be the giveaway. IME genuine LR T engines (and late model NA) had a single upward facing spin-on (z4xx), vs the dual downward facing element on trucks.Quote:

Still, at any rate it's a good score, looks like a standard 4BD1T/IHI turbo.
All looks a bit salty, hows the chassis, firewall and door frames? Does it have the old door handles?
I agree, my mates '86 sixbe has had a twin/bypass spin on filter setup from new, with the factry retrofitted oil filter extension bits and pieces. I used the part numbers to set mine up. The oil filter assembly will be a dead giveaway as to whether it is a factory setup.Quote:

more fuel more boost.lots of smoke.
more fuel more ignition timing advance.
i saw some dead early turbo with cartridge fiters.
i asked about why not retrofit the na oil filter to stop it getting broken off by the drive shaft-also why the different waterpump an thermostat housing.i had to modify parts to fit these engines on line.
the answer was it was a certified engine with suppliers warranty.
The boost compensator cuts fuel only and is operated via pressure signals from intake system which if the turbo has no waste gate reducing the fuel will limit boost it's all a vicious cycle
When the engine comes off boost it limits rack travel. I have a write-up of boost compensator function on here somewhere.Quote:

From 88 onwards they removed the boost compensator and appeared to limit fuel based on rpm instead of the boost signal.
This is very obvious in the fuel delivery graphs on the year models suggested by dougal .When I pull my finger out I'll post some graphs which from memory also have compensator settings on same page.
wow thanks for all the info, i have the 2 downward facing screw on filters in the engine.
iwill try to get a pic of air filter box over weekend, it is very large and is strapped onto the firewall
the county is covered in fish oil, the doors are stuffed and im painting replacements at the monent, the front bullbar mounts on county have been rewelded and there is a lot of bog around the body (im welding the worst parts).
thanks for all the info

Can you take a closeup pic of the filter assembly - especially the adaptor/spacer which spaces the filter away from the block (so they clear the propshaft).Quote:
