hi
turtle is done! the pictures mostly say it all. a few deets though: the return valve is plumbed to another valve i can turn by hand to select return to tank, or loop back to IP, through an out port in the filter. i took off the hand primer and capped the filter again b/c i think the primer was leaking air (i suspect the filter assy still is still leaking air)
the tank is 120l aluminum w/ a baffle, bolted into the rear sway bar bolt holes.

Congrats!
It was only a matter of time with you, we all knew it was coming!
Nice custom install, I especially like how you mounted and attached your tank, great idea!

Enjoy the grease!

Well done after-oil!
Are the clear coolant hoses rated for high temperatures?

thanks...
maybe they aint rated for high temps.. but theyll hold... i think...
ive used them on other installs with no problems, but before my drive through the Nevada desert this summer ill put real heating hoses on there..
how much pressure is a cooling system anyhow?

Just read a few times on other forums that people running into problems with the clear hoses as they are rate for around +65°C max. If the temperatures rises the rubber gets pretty soft and they might slip off the barbs even with hose clamps.

Service Specs. for the 4D5:

Items;__________________________________________________Standard Values;____________________Limits;

High pressure value opening pressure of radiator cap kPa:_______74 - 103___________________________64
Range of coolant antifreeze concentration of radiator % :________30 - 60
Thermostat:

• Valve opening temperature of thermostat *C:_____________82 +/- 1.5
• Full opening temperature of thermostat *C:______________95
• Valve lift mm:_______________________________________8.5 or more

First highway trip yesterday from comox ferry to Vic and back: ALL GOOD
im pretty sure the filter assy is still leaking air. on the way down at times there was a bit of hesitation (maybe) but on the way back did the speed limit or more, climbed the Malahat no problem!!

Looks great Ari !

What's your speed over the Malahat in the L300? If I am on my own I have to drop to about 60kph and with a car load of people, man, I must drop to 40 or 50kph on the steeper parts.

sort of depends where.. heading north, i can keep 70-80 going in the beginning, and down to around 70 coming up by the shawnigan lake turnoff

Great install, every aspect of that vehicle is so beautiful.


What kind of switch is this?

its the brains of the system. its a 3 way toggle, 1 diesel, 0 veg - glow plug, 2 veg + glow plug
theres relays and a micro chip in there that delays the switching of the return valve to allow for a good purge.

Who makes it? What is the purge time?

Does the glow plug cycle to keep the oil at a certain temp or does it stay on? What temp does your oil get to?
