Outer Limits 4x4 Board

for LPG I run about 12 degrees. It pings on pump gas.

sounds like a glow plug to me - get someone else to start it and stand behind and smell the smoke - if it smells of diesel it's almost certainly a glow plug or wiring fault...

No - unfortunately - 70 series chassis is different - thanks anyway...

anyone?

Need some pics of the engine mount (the part welded to the chassis) on a 70 series with a 2H or 12HT.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Does anyone knows where can i get the contact of the person who did this mod or where can i get more info about this modification. This pictures were posted by J Top at the January 11 in the "General 4x4 Tech/Discussion" secction, but I PM him bot haven't got any answer. http://www.outerl...

ARB - you can get heavy duty if you're worried about the weight.

Lots of outlets around Aus so if you break something you can easily get replacements...

Now you have something to work on, take it back to the auto shop and ask them the question. They should be able to to test it fairly quickly to see if that is what is happening and why. Could be a wiring fault, a faulty switch, or a fault in the g/box - but you've got something to ask them now... Ha...

Not certain on the surfs, but on a lot of different autos, there is a snow mode - some engage with a specific button, some engage when the 'hold' function is used. The easiest way to test this is find a long section of road, start off and count the gearshifts up. Get up to at least 100k so it gets i...

Is the auto stuck in 'snow' mode where it locks it in second gear on starting to reduce wheelspin?

Make up new bottom plates that lift the nuts out of the way.

Drill the idler shaft (8mm) through the centre. Make a large (20-25mm) heavy flat washer for each end. (you'll need to set in an 'o' ring on the gearbox end washer). The gearbox end washer has a threaded hole, the rear one an 8mm hole. Bolt together with a very long capscrew from the rear threaded i...

So you can use the brake, slow it till it's only oding 1000rpm and it will pull away cleanly, but if it actually stops it's hard to get going? What happens if it's pointing down hill, you let it get rolling then put it into drive? When 'it wont go' - what are the revs doing. Do you have low revs, do...

I'm assuming it's a 2L-TE motor? Questions/things to try... 1. You say no power when starting, but OK once it's moving. If you get it moving, drving OK, and then slow it to ALMOST a stop, will it then take off OK? 2. What happens if you give it some revs (say about 2000) and then dump it into drive?...

uhmw plastic is great - plus you dont get the corrosion issues of alloy

Plumb another booster in series with the existing one.
Something like a VH44 would work well.

Has it got an error code in the ECU?

Nah didn't even think of pics! SWMBO was too sh!tty about it! This is how it goes, I went to take the cruiser this morning to work so I could wash it, found out the keys were locked in, called some locksmiths from work found out it was really expensive (only one locksmith here), SWMBO gets out of b...

different size joints.

I have a BJ42, the 3b has problems, looking for a new motor. What other motors would fit in without much work needed. would a 2H work? Different intput shaft on the gearbox - the only bolt in is another of the 'B' series. To fit an 'H' or 'F' series you'll need to change you box (or at least replac...

I was curious about what sort of toyota engines were easy fit on hilux. Basically engines from Supras, crown, soarers and so on. I've heard a few conversions using those sort of engines and I wanted to know if they were worth the conversion and your opinion on them. Thank you CC Lexus/Camry V6 - bu...

your bellhousing will bolt to the new motor.
new bellhousing may not fit your g/box.

check for broken rings

Depends on budget but for me Gas the 2F and have it rebuilt to suit.
I have 70Kw at the wheels and just under 500Nm of Torque
Spins 35's up no problem on 3.556 Diff Ratios
With the 5 speed it will sit on 100kh all day long

or rebuild it better (163Kw)

for gas you want lots of compression - I run 10.5:1 which is OK, but I've have prefered to get to 11 or 11.5

make sure whatever you use has hardened seats

v6? - I wouldn't bother - either keep the straight 6 (best option), or put a decent V8 in it (that's at least a 308 or 350)

in the UK - use a rover V8.

Hey there need some advice please... Thinking about putting a B motor in to replace my 2F? Wondering the following: *any general tips? *are the bellhousings the same? is it a simple engine, and starter motor swap?

V6 ones do NOT fit.

Have you compared the low-end power/torque curves.
You may find it lacking at this end if you want to crawl.

It might be better to cheat - get a non-turbo SR20, then add the turbo with minimal boost. This way still gives good torque low end and hp high end.
