Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking at fitting a precision turbo possibly the 5130 to my silver top td. Precision claim they are more efficient than a bb garrett. Was originally looking at fitting the garrett gtx3067. I am going to a 12mm pump and want to run 18-20psi. Has anyone run a similar setup or can offer some advise?

Did you have to remove/bypass the alternater's internal regulator or does your 60 run an external regulator. I can't understand how something which replaces a fuse can increase voltage output of an alternator. Is it a capacitor or something similar.

I was under the impression max voltage should be higher. The auto elec said 13.8 v was normal. Has anyone fitted a 120amp alternator which produces more than 13.8 volt maxium. If so what brand and what supplier Thanks

Voltage at my crank battery at idle with fans on was between 12.8 and 13.1 from memory and vsr is open circuit. Maxium voltage at start batery is 13.8 at high RPM. VSR requires 13.2v to close and at 12.8 it will open circuit again. When VSR is closed (charging aux battery) voltage will drop below 12 ...

G'day, I have had issues keeping charge up to my batteries at low RPM. MY patrol is fitted with a carby chev and runs ford falcon electric fans. I fitted a new 120 amp alternator( apparently a bosch copy think its an OEX) which has now shit its self after only 12months approx 20,000kms. Has dual ...

sweet as mate. thanks. will be there. have been on one logan night run before had a blast. looking forward to it

i have no idea how to get to the top of big red either. dont know the area very well but would like to come along...

Thanks for the suggestion.

I was wondering if anyone can explain why the load carrying capacity of the spring would be reduced by resetting the springs so that they have increased camber / hook. I would have thought that the type and grade of steel which is used to make up each leaf would influence ...

Yes if you own one suitable to do the job and know how to use it. This is not my login or call.

Any thoughts or ideas if you beleive I have been stiched up by the spring resetter would be appreciated ?

Thanks

Yes I have considered this as a potential option but as mentioned in the inital thread I really want to avoid relocating the spring hanger mounts as I do not have skills, equipment or ability to undertake such a task and I also do not want to making permanent mods to the chassis which might have to ...

Thanks for the info. One of my next steps was to go and get 4 bits of flat plate approx 3-4mm thick, 75mm wide and 300mm long and start drilling some holes in it say every 50mm as a trail and error exercise to see if I can use this as a shackle template. If it is discovered that I need the pins ...

G'day not sure if this question has been asked before but I was wondering if anyone has attempted to fit a set of 79 series ute rear leaf springs into the back of a 75 series ute.

I am currently in the process of attempting this but am starting to wonder if I may be wasting my time.

Stats on 79 ...

does any1 know prices with the rebate??

cheers buddy

just wondering if anyone has done this and how well it works. also how much does it cost in queensland with the rebate?

Thanks Guys for your comments

Definitely something to think about. I really want to try and avoid having to relocate any of my hangers and rear shock mount crossmember. I have been busted twice before for having the ute sprung over and want to be able to easily reverse any mods.

I am liking the ...

G'Day

Just wondering if anyone knows what might be involved with fitting longer 78 / 79 series rear springs into the back of a 75 series ute. I have done a little looking into the idea and believe the later model springs are 172mm longer than 75 series items. Both 79 and 75 leaf widths are 70mm. I ...

awesome cheers for all the info fellas.

yea thats what i thought, about the gauge not bein to accurate, thanks buddy.

boost is at about 12psi at the moment have played around with it a little bit can get it up to about 17 at 3500rpm but doesnt seam to make much difference with temp. like it does a lil but it has never over heated just up hills sits just above halfway on the gauge but doesnt get any hotter well not ...

injector pump was rebuilt by diesel australia, and advanced to suit turbo so they say...radiator been flushed and checked, never been dynoed and wouldnt have a clue on exaust temps but does not glo red at night where it comes out of turbo as i have seen ones that do..thanx for the reply

have recently rebuilt my td42 with a dts turbo kit. motor wasnt turbo before rebuild. seams to get a lil hotter up hills and stuff. is this normal? would a top mount intercooler off gu fix this?

GOT A GQ WAGON ON GAS WITH A SUB FUEL TANK. THE GQ IS ON 6 INCHS. IT HAS A BENT TOP ARM HOWEVER IT STILL FOULS ON THE TANK ON FULL ARTICULATION

We will be there!!

How do you go about hosting a 4x4 event? insurance? getting ppl to come? Have massive property northern rivers n.s.w and want to host events

bought a set of 35/12.50/15 MT radial claws just over a year ago. since then have had to throw 2 in the bin its just like a big virgina virtically up the side wall. joined a lil bit at the bead and goes right up sometimes into the tread. i drive at ormeau alot in the creeks and stuff mostly rocks ...

so you cant just rip the diesel one out and throw the petrol one in??

yea bud did the same thing like everyone else so it sounds! doing a full rebuild on it now thought stuff it got it out so might as well. anyone know anything about putting a tb42 camshaft into the td42? heard you can gain some considerable rpm by doing this?

can you put a tb42 cam shaft into a td42 heard you can gain some rpm by doing this??
