The standard set-up looks fairly daft to me; why is the intake going over the hot engine to the other side of the bay?

I was thinking a closed filter on the end of the turbo would be better but there is no-where decent to put a cold feed. There is no chance to go straight through the wing as the fuel heater box is in the way. I was thinking about just making a hole and putting it straight out of the wheel arch.

Will this stand up to normal driving? At the worst a flooded road? I will be going off-road but no river crossings. I would fit a bypass valve too but I doubt water would get in anyway in those conditions, correct me if I am wrong? ]]> Modifications Rob5464 http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=76163 Our planet. http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/showthread.php?t=76162&goto=newpost Thu, 17 May 2012 22:21:51 GMT Cool time-video from the ISS. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/around-the-world-in-three-and-a-half-minutes--nasa-releases-stunning-timelapse-video-of-earth.html (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/video#video=29062265) Cool time-video from the ISS.

Is this likely to be the rear inner axle seal or will it be the outer half shaft seal? I've ordered both anyway as they were only cheap.

And:

I've booked it in to be done at a local garage who are very good, but i seem to remember Tonyn saying that people always miss a snap ring or that they have some kind of difficulty in doing this job if they've not done it before on a KZN130?

Finally took the tailgate apart to see whats what. I was thinking the motor was detatched etc.

After a quick look around I noticed the spring that assists the window was looking a bit dry and rusty. I gave the spring a good wire brush down and blow out with air then greased it up along with the runners.

###### window zooms up and down now, with no more 'boing' type spring sounds as it's moving.

The only thing done to it is repair the fuel pump, injectors and nozzles in a hope it will be better. Our old 1991 Isuzu Trooper does better (8-10kms/liter).

A garage told me that it the Surf needs an engine overhaul. And overhauling an engine here costs a lot, I mean a lot. So I just wanted your opinion first. Some problems I notice on the Surf are:
> gray-ish smoke comes out of the when I open the engine oil cap while the engine is running,
> the smoke is clear blue in the morning, then goes away after the car heats up (but a deep black comes out when you give it a bit more gas),
> the car has no power when I drive it after parking in school for 7hrs (parked in blazing sun)

So do I really need an engine overhaul?

P.S: I am easy on the accelerator pedal and coast downhills.

I'm looking for [IMG]C:\Users\E366591\Desktop\QUART ER PANEL WHEEL OPENING.jpeg[/IMG]wheel arches on the internet for my 3rdGen.

On ToyoDIY, I found references for:
"MOULDING, FRONT FENDER WHEEL OPENING, RH/LH"
"MOULDING, QUARTER PANEL WHEEL OPENING, RH/LH"

Could you confirm that they are talking about what I call "arches"??? My english is not as far as this ;))

Thank you
