My balance belt snapped a month ago causing engine failure. There's been delays in UAE (cheaper part/shipping total than Japan) warehouse supply because of weather I suppose. At least that's the current notice on Amayama. I'm wondering if anyone in the states has extras or knows of a US...

Any reason not to buy a $350 replacement turbo from Delica USA? Mine's a '91. https://www.delicausa.com/product/new-oil-cooled-turbo-for-early-4d56-engines/

Has this number gone to 0 yet? Might you have one that can ship to California this week should I pay for expedited shipping?

Alex at Why Pay More off Fletcher did my front shocks, egr delete, timing check (after I did the whole job myself), and fuel filter replacement. He’s done full D4BF installs and even work on some Hiaces. Knowledgeable and reasonable guy, but when I went to him a year and a half ago, he had...

Mission Viejo. I work in Costa Mesa.

Would you suggest a rebuild if the price was right?

Also, my coolant doesn’t appear compromised and is at full capacity since I did a flush a year ago. However, the mechanic spotted slight seepage from the head gasket…

I have the same symptoms as Connor. The mechanic I brought my van to traced the leaks to the turbo and dip stick O-ring. They suggested rebuilding the turbo which seems preferable considering the current prices on Amayama and Megazip. But they quoted $2200 to remove the turbo, send it to the...

I live in Mission Viejo! Just thought I’d have better luck around Costa Mesa where I work. Thanks for responding! I’ll give them a call.

Any Southern Californians in Orange County know of a deli mechanic? I’d prefer Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, or Costa Mesa over driving up to LA.

Does anyone know a good Delica mechanic/specialist in Orange County, CA? Preferably around Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, or Santa Ana. My ‘91 L300 has a plethora of oil leaks and I don’t know where half of them originate.

It's the ALL part that provoked my laziness. I will certainly devote some weekend time to this venture. Great and necessary inspiration for when I take my next excursion. Thank ya.

Say a fellow Southern Californian were to provide a flash drive and admin fee, might that PDF be available?

This thread gets pretty into it: https://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/l300-shocks-options.682/

Without the lift right? This is definitely the most cost effective solution if I’m not being an idiot for passing on the lift.

Did you wind up forgoing any lift? If so do you regret it? I have the Bilstein front-KYB rear combo, but my leaf springs desperately need new bushings and at least a recurve /fortification for a buildout in progress. I’m on the fence about whether I really need to add height while I’m already...

Yeah I got ahold of Alex about an hour after I replied to the thread. My bad. He said he had 5 Delicas in shop, so I’m totally comfortable waiting a week to bring it in. I feel it would be difficult finding someone else with comparable experience. Thanks!

Are they still open for business? I can’t get through on the phone.

What’s your electrical setup?

there’s 14” from the front of the seat to the dash, 8”from the wheel well to the tip of the gas pedal, and 2’ from the floor to the turn signal.
