Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I cranked mine with a gas axe and ratchet straps. (Still got the jig here in perth if any one wants to use it.)
But I rekon sloted swivels and locating bolt has got to be the best /easist way to do it.
I've not heard of anyone havong problems with them.

I've got the self centering type needle and without the fuel btween it and the jet it has chaffed. (it's badly out of round and chopped out it in the middle).
Also keen to hear from any one who's delt with this.
Cheers Euan

Ive got a 76 Rangie on dual fuel. But runs rich on fuel. It appears the carby needles are worn. has anyone had success with replacing just the needles and not the jets (as I suspect they are also worn)?
Cheers Euan

OK cheers. I'll give them a go.

Evan why don't you use the adjustables that are available for the solid lifters? I think Real Steel sell them. Failing that you could skim the pedestals. The 3.5 one's are about an inch shorter and the hollow leyland ones are a much smaller diameter ball at the end than the socket on the rover ...

Any idea what pusrods they used?
Cheers

I'm looking for some longer push rods with the right ends, to put some rover heads on my 4.4. Also toying with the idea of putting a ecotech blower on.

This is my Megasquirt 4.4 Range Rover on a Hand Cranking Start. Never been on a dyno. Eng was free + rings bearings gaskets etc, $300 for megasquirt about $1500 for injection, fuel pump, dizzy and trips to Jacar. Lots of reading and problem solving, but a very reliable workhorse with heaps of sting ...

I know longer have the car but had it for several years with the P76/Rover manifold setup. The carbies were the standard SU type Strombergs that were fitted to the 3.5 engine, never had an issue with this set up at all, had plenty of torgue, no fueling problems. I had the rover heads fitted as well ...

when stainless hardware is mated against ally it increases the corrosion rate of the ally, unless you use a jointing compound full of chromate(s) like duralac or mastinox, to stop the flow of electrons.

Will a P76 crank fit in a 4.0/4.6 block, how do the journals compare?

p76 has larger main journals. You need to line bore the case/main caps and backdrill the flywheel from the crank.

The ver4 wolf allows you to set the target voltage for cruise so you are able to set a lean cruise. I have found that my 4.6 likes to cruise around 15.5/15.7. The megasquirt has got an Autotune (closed loop) function, that has made very easy to set the target exhaust/oxygen voltage at cruise 110 ...

Hi i am just chasing a little more info on the conversion to using the ignition module to run the megasquirt. I will be using Delco but the outputs will be the same. Did you change from a 4(or 5 pin) ign module to the gm 7 pin? From what i can see this is the obvious set up. Did you weld up the ...

The HEI is heaps less likely to miss when externaly wet than a stock one. I even opened my plug gaps to 0.050" and Ive never had it miss although I haven't actually completly submerged the engine. I got it sent from the states thru Ebay, I think around $200 ish overhauld with new leads cap etc. Just ...

At a 110 kph I consistantly get 16 L per 100 k's

It can be setup and calibrated to run with any MAF sensor but is designed for a MAP sensor mounted in the ECU. If you don't want MS to control the ign, you can set it up to get its signal from any dizzy's tach output. I've got it controling the ign so I've picked the signal directly off the variable ...

You can buy megasquirts pre made now, I can send you my setup and you could just bump the fuel map up a bit, it would be relitively straight forward. I highly recomend one of these for getting the fuel just right. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/innovate-digital-wideband-controller-with-sensor-p ...

Or it used to be
it was in the sticky/ bible bit.

It's easy, basicaly just put the rover gear on the bottom of the buick dizzy it all fits.

it's all here

Yep, I'm stoked it pulls preaty hard with heaps of bottom end torque. A joy to tune once I got the megasquirt sorted. picture's worth a thousand words. back marking onto perspex http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/3263/backmarkingontopespexky3.jpg marking onto spacer http://img525.imageshack.us ...

Didn't cost much but it was heaps of work[img][img]http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/3269/efimanifold2zr6.jpg[/img][/img]

I'd be a little leary of the chassis ends as you now (technical speaking) have two pivot points there. Under compression the joint could buckle and flip.

You would have been better just to bend both the radius arm and trailing arms to suit the lift.

what he said

I just finished moding a rover efi manifold to suit a 4.4.

It was the light weight red line gear oil. I can't remember what weight, but synthetic gear oil weight is classed so as to reflect it's abilty to resist metal to metal contact relitive to a mineral oil. So a synthetic oil can have the same viscosity number as a really thick mineral gear oil ( and do ...

I think the terrier heads have got a water plug taping at the end of each head that the higher compression heads don't have.

Has any one put rover heads on a 4.4. What push rods were used? Leyland ones seem a touch short.

I twice went through shims a couple of years ago, one cooked up so much it melted the plastic cage on the needle roller bearing. I have since been using synthetic red line oil. Seems to have fixed the problem. I think the normal gear oil cokes up and blocks the lubrication scallops in the shim thus ...

what do you mean by GM reluctor? have you replaced the stock rover dizzy pickup?

But I don't see why the Rover dizzy wouldn't work just the same.

what do you mean by GM reluctor? have you replaced the stock rover dizzy pickup?

Yep, Buick HEI (easy and cheap to do).
Mega squirt ignition settings:
IGN input capture- - Falling Edge
Crank TRigger- --Trigger Rise
Spark Output---- Going High inverted

I am running the 2 wires (sheilded) from the GM reluctor directly to the V3 board.
