aristo fuel filter location?

[Shakotan_Aaron]

Hey guys, fairly simple question

where abouts was the fuel filter located in a 2jzgte jzs147 aristo?

ive looked on toyodiy at the diagrams but it doesn't show actually where the filter is plumbed into. on some other diagrams it suggests that it is bolted to the body then a hose from the filter to the hard line under the intake manifold.

there is something in a plastic cover which looks suspicious under the intake manifold but its a total C*NT to get to or even get eye on, so dropping the starter (difficult/pain in the arse in the car) would be necessary for access.

edit i know the original engine (7mge) had the filter on the engine under the intake mani, but it was very easy to get access to.

thanks

That's a pressure canister which is part of the sequential turbo system. It isn't the fuel filter!

Thanks for the replys.

I couldn't get a eye ball on it so couldn't really see what it was about.

Thanks, ill see if i can smash this filter in somewhere.

Bottom Left corner of the post is a "sheriffs badge" which is the REP button.

+REP for you.

Wilbo, i tried...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to wilbo666 again.

fuel filter located under rear left of car in front of rear left wheel, has a cover over it,use Z383 fuel filter.

thanks, i just wanted to make sure i hadnt actually missed it and it was up under the intake manifold. i dont have a aristo, just the engine

Spot on should be under a metal shroud on the passenger rear side and i pray that compliance had originally changed the filter otherwise you're in for tough love removing the original.

[Shakotan_Aaron]

like i said nick, i dont actually have an aristo. put the filter in just before the soft line to the engine seems to work fine

Thousand apologies Aaron had Shristo on my mind

Aristo run a metal hardline but i guess the soft line is doing the job

How's the accelerator cable going mate all sorted and fitted up ?

[Shakotan_Aaron]

i ment i put the filter in up front. originally the cressida had the filter on a bracket mounted on the block of the engine, i made a simple bracket and put it on the front chassis rail. the filter then screwed strait into the flared metal had line. with a male>male brass adaptor the soft line went from the filter on the chassis to the soft line and to the engine. fits like a brought one.

haha, I do like aristos (not everyone does) and what ive spent so far on this project i could of actually brought one!

yep that fitted strait into the cressida, perfect length and no modification to anything

[aristoman]

I bet the cressie fuel filter is miniscule compared to the Aristo behemoth !

That old chestnut but its been a labour of love you build

Excellent glad its all running well for you....

[Shakotan_Aaron]

nah its actually about the same size. its not a aristo filter, i think its for jza80 actually but the box seemed to claim it was quite universal. some micro filter brand that i picked up in japan.

true but its still a old POS and id probably rather have a aristo to be honest, far far more pimp, no conversion (other then a manual in there). still a descent bit of work left before rego and it being on the road...

[aristoman]

JZA80 filters are black & funky looking meshie style compared to the Aristo garb.

Not many Aristo's getting round your way ? Might need to look over the Derwent then
