So after 6 months of working on pretty much everything else (workbenches, mill and lathe stands, welding stand, storage units and the Hilux) and now getting prepared to move house I thought it would be time to at least revisit this a little bit to at the very least prepare it for transport.
I couldn’t really remember where I was up to though, as I had left it thinking i was going to get it back together by Christmas… and well time got away. Instead i just spent half a day pottering around on it and sorting out things as they came up.
First up was tapping and resealing the overflow can:

Hopefully that will be the last time i have to modify that ‘bolt in’ component.
While I was over on that side of the engine bay I fitted up the fuel lines, and added some abrasion protection:

Might also add some brackets for ziptie or P-clip mounts later on down the track, but will do for now.
I also mounted up the cold side reroute pipe properly:

32mm Narva P-clips to little alloy brackets (cue the funk) sorted that out pretty easily.
That side of the engine bay now looks like this:

At some point between the last update and now I had also tapped a 1/8NPT thread into the intake manifold and ran an 4AN fitting on it for the BOV feed.
On the other side of the engine bay I plumbed up the 4AN hose for the wastegate MAC valve:

And sorted out all the catch can fittings:

Drilled and added a 4mm barbed bulkhead fitting to the firewall to feed the onboard MAP sensor:

Then mounted the ECU and bundled up the spare loom wires out of the way:

You can also see the LSU4.9 WB1 sitting there too, which I upgraded to from the old LSU4.2 sensor
This connector needed a date with the depinning tools then:

So that this grommet could be added:

Now the WB wiring runs out of the old AC drain bung into the trans tunnel to the exhaust:

Its a tight fit, but it fits. I had spaced it based on the LSU4.2 sensor, which has a slightly shorter body. Should be fine though as it should move with the engine/gearbox.
While I was under there I filled the gearbox oil and checked on the diff oil.
Overall the engine bay now looks like this though, after fitting the air filter and the turbo coolant hose

Few more fiddly bits to go now, need to sort a lower rad hose:

Plus have to get some fuel for it and pressure test the fuel system, which I may get a chance to do this week.
Then it is just a matter of setting up the ECU maps and trying to get it going on base map. Might even do that before we move house!
