we lost power from the 1Z, and started pumping out a mixture
of black and white smoke.
We crawled off the motorway within easy reach of a mates house.
By the time we arrived there we were down to 10mph.
As i had previously read Jeds post https://club8090.co.uk/forum./viewtopic. ... 7#p7563304,
I assumed that this was the answer, but it wasnt the fuel filter.
This is the clean-air hose from air cleaner to Turbo intake.
As you see it has collapsed. The truck has had a new Air filter within 1500 miles, and
is fittid with a cyclone type filter box, and both were still clean.
With minimal throtle the exhaust gases were clear, and it only went into bonfire mode when applying
More throttle than the hose in its collapsed state would allow.
I have turned the filter box around on my truck, so the filter can be easily removed from the engine flap.
This has meant running the pipe up behind the air cleaner where it can't be seen.
Changing the fuel filter and checking the pump timing bolts didn't change or show anything,
I was very relieved to find this before going any further.
This does raise the question of flow rate/capacity of the filter box I'm running.
Is there a bigger Air box that is being used by anyone?
Who sells spiral wound intake hose?
Also the large neg- pressure it has taken to finaly collapse this hose, may have been preventing
maximum boost presure.
...What more power? No Thanks!
