Toyota 2H and 12H-T digital engine factory workshop and repair manual

1) Quick orientation (theory in one line)
- For a diesel H‑series (2H) the goal of forced induction (turbocharger is usual, not belt supercharger) is to increase intake air mass so more fuel can burn safely at each injection event, raising torque and power. A properly matched turbo + fuel/engine management makes the extra air usable; missing any subsystem (oil, exhaust, fueling, sealing, cooling) causes failures.

2) Planning & parts (why these are needed)
- Turbocharger and turbine housing/exhaust manifold: extracts energy from exhaust to drive compressor — raises intake pressure.
- Compressor outlet plumbing + intercooler: cools compressed air to increase density and reduce EGTs.
- Oil feed and return lines, and if required coolant feed: lubricates and cools turbo bearings — without this the turbo will seize.
- Wastegate/boost actuator or controller: limits/controls boost to safe levels.
- Intake and exhaust piping, clamps, gaskets: maintain sealed pressurized flow; leaks reduce boost and create black smoke/poor performance.
- Fuel system upgrades or tuning (injection pump calibration, stronger pump, or a fuel controller): delivers the increased fuel required; otherwise extra air wastes potential or engine runs lean/diesel knock/surging.
- Head/studs, gaskets checks: seals must withstand added cylinder pressures to avoid head lift/blown head gasket.
- Exhaust downpipe and sufficient free flow: prevents excessive backpressure which reduces power and overheats turbine.
- Sensors/tuning tools (EGT gauge, boost gauge, fuel pressure/rail sensors if applicable): necessary to tune safely.

3) In-order procedure with theory and how each repair fixes faults

1. Assess engine condition (compressions, oil condition, cooling)
- Theory: A turbo adds stress. If rings, valves, or head gasket are weak they will fail under boost.
- How it fixes the fault: Rebuilding/repairing before forced induction prevents blow-by, oil consumption, and head gasket failure once boost is added.

2. Choose type and size of turbo and wastegate matching airflow needs
- Theory: Turbo must match engine displacement and desired boost to avoid excessive lag or overspeeding the turbine.
- How it fixes the fault: Correct sizing prevents overspin, excessive EGTs, and poor drivability.

3. Fit turbo-exhaust manifold and turbine plumbing
- Theory: Exhaust energy must be fed to turbine efficiently; manifold geometry and secure mounting prevent leaks.
- How it fixes the fault: Proper manifold seals avoid exhaust leaks, loss of turbine energy, and hot gases escaping causing underboost or local overheating.

4. Install oil feed (pressurized) to turbo and gravity return to sump; fit filter/strainer and bleed lines
- Theory: Turbo bearings require continuous pressurized oil and free return to sump; oil supply must be clean and not restrict return.
- How it fixes the fault: Prevents bearing failure and oil coking; removes the common cause of turbo seizure and smoke.

5. Install coolant feed/return if turbo is water‑cooled
- Theory: Cooling reduces bearing temperatures and prevents oil coking.
- How it fixes the fault: Lowers turbo thermal stress and increases life.

6. Fit compressor intake pipe, air filter and intercooler (or charge piping)
- Theory: Compressor pressurizes the intake air; an intercooler reduces intake temperature which increases density and reduces EGTs.
- How it fixes the fault: Cooler, denser air reduces detonation risk (diesel pre‑ignition is different but EGT control still critical), improves power and lowers smoke.

7. Install charge piping and inlet to intake manifold; ensure all clamps and V‑bands are leak‑free
- Theory: Boost leaks reduce effective intake pressure and cause black smoke/low power.
- How it fixes the fault: Sealed piping ensures expected boost reaches cylinders and enables correct fuel-to-air matching.

8. Fit wastegate actuator (internal or external) and plumbing to dump bypassed exhaust
- Theory: Wastegate controls turbine speed and thus boost level.
- How it fixes the fault: Prevents overboosting that can cause excessive cylinder pressures, EGTs, and mechanical damage.

9. Upgrade/modify fuel delivery (pump calibration, governor, or higher‑capacity pump)
- Theory: More air requires more fuel. Mechanical injection pumps are governed; they must be adjusted or replaced to increase maximum fuel delivery safely. Timing may also need optimizing.
- How it fixes the fault: Matches fuel to increased air to produce power without running lean (loss of power) or overly rich (smoke, soot, EGT climb). Correct timing prevents knock and high EGT.

10. Strengthen head/bolts and check head gasket
- Theory: Boost increases peak cylinder pressure and can lift heads if clamps/studs/gasket are weak.
- How it fixes the fault: Upgraded studs and correct gasket prevent head lift and leaks that would otherwise cause coolant/oil loss and loss of compression.

11. Upgrade exhaust downstream or fit larger downpipe and fit heat shielding
- Theory: Turbine efficiency benefits from low back pressure; heat management prevents heat soak and protects components.
- How it fixes the fault: Reduces EGT rise, avoids clogging, and improves spool-up.

12. Install gauges (boost, EGT, oil pressure) and initial safety settings
- Theory: Monitoring ensures the engine is operating within safe limits while tuning.
- How it fixes the fault: Early detection of overboost, high EGT, or low oil pressure prevents catastrophic failure.

13. Initial start and leak checks; run at low load, verify oil return, no smoke/leaks
- Theory: Ensures lubrication, sealing and that the system is not creating immediate faults before load.
- How it fixes the fault: Captures issues early (oil feed blocked, boost leaks) preventing damage when under load.

14. Progressive testing and fuel tuning under load (incremental boost)
- Theory: Tune fuel delivery and timing gradually while monitoring EGT and smoke to find the safe operating point.
- How it fixes the fault: Prevents running too rich or lean; reduces soot formation and thermal damage. If EGTs rise too high reduce fuel or boost.

15. Finalize plumbing, mounting, heat management, and routine maintenance plan
- Theory: Forced induction demands rigorous maintenance (oil changes, filter, check lines).
- How it fixes the fault: Regular maintenance prevents oil coking, leaks, and enables long life of turbo and engine.

4) Diesel‑specific cautions (why they matter)
- Fuel matching: Diesels cannot “pull” extra fuel automatically; if the pump cannot supply more fuel, the turbo simply creates excess air with no gain. Conversely, uncontrolled extra fuel → black smoke, runaway or very high EGTs.
- EGT management: Diesel combustion temperatures rise with extra fuel; excessive EGTs cause valve and turbo damage. Intercooling, correct timing, and limiting boost mitigate this.
- Turbo lubrication: Oil supply must be gravity-returned; route return above the oil level if possible and avoid long horizontal returns.
- Structural limits: H‑series engines were offered both naturally aspirated and turbo versions — factory turbo variants use stronger components/heads/valving. Replicating factory turbo specs is safest.

5) How the repair fixes the typical “lack of power” fault
- Symptom: low torque/power at altitude or under load.
- Fix via forced induction: Turbo increases intake mass flow (more oxygen) so you can inject more fuel and produce higher torque at the same displacement. Adding the turbo + intercooler addresses the air side (increased pressure and density), while fuel system adjustment provides the matching fuel. Oil/coolant and sealing upgrades prevent turbo failure and head gasket issues that would negate power gains. Proper tuning ensures the extra air and fuel are used efficiently rather than producing smoke/heat.

6) Final notes (practical safety)
- Always monitor boost, EGT, and oil pressure during initial runs.
- Start with conservative boost and fuel settings, move up only if EGTs and component temps are acceptable.
- If unsure about injection pump modification or mapping, consult an injection specialist; incorrect pump tuning can quickly ruin an engine.

No fluff.
