Sorry, didnt realise I had to run my opinion past you



Relatively easy fix though, just dowel or key the arm

Gq diffs will smash the shit out of hiluxes in terms of strength. Not only can you not get away from the fact that a hilux head has the piddly little crown wheel and pinion, but the steering setup is rubbish and people constantly rip the steering arm studs out of the knuckle due to poor design. Id ...

Hi there, looking to get my set of 1hdt injectors reconned and am looking at injector express (as they advertise on ebay). Has anyone had any past expriences dealing with them? Looking to send them from NZ because people want to ream me a new asshole over here in exchange for getting then reconned ...

Heres the pics from my old beater hilux. It originally had a pulley to go from the rear x member to the winch but it kept jumping off so slapped a snatch block in there instead. Distance from the pulley to the winch was always a little short and it never would on that well but it wasnt that bad ...

I use the standard air filter box and running 15psi, it makes no difference whether I run it with no airbox to having the box on (noticeable difference anyway). I do have the turbo box though, not sure if they are different to the non turb ones?

Specs are .50 cold and .63 hot. Not adjusted boost compensator yet (because I have to move the pump to get the last bolt out) but its on my to do list. I am begginning to suspect pump timing though

cheers

Hi there, I have recently fully rebuilt my motor (after the nut holding the compressor wheel on the turbo came off and sent turbo through my motor) and now it seems to stop pulling at 3k rpm? I have modified it with the following t3/t4 turbo with high mount manifold 3" intake manifold inlet 3 ...

Hi there, My 1hd-t has recently blown the turbo and sent bits through my motor. Pulled it down today and thankfully a majority of it is ok. The head has a couple of small dings in it which I dont think I need to be too worried about? The worst part is the pistons as they have peices embedded into ...

thats looking real good charles. jade isnt doing a half bad job shouldve wacked another few inches in the wheel base while it was apart though

For another idea, there is a guy here that puts a plunger in the centre of the lsd with a hydraulic feed line going into it. You then put pressure in when you want it to lockup effectively creating a locker. Works very well and people have had alot of success with them.

probably not without lowering bumpstops. I have 35" at's on mine with no lift but it takes awhile for the flares to get worn away by the tyres so they dont scrub

It is just a poser wagon though so its ok

It would be no more suitable than a standard G16b. Running the GTI head will help by lowering the static compression, but the conrods will always be a weak link that usually prove not to be up to the task. Plenty of people have had success running forced induction on the g series bottom end, but it ...

A heap of awesome tech Thanks heaps mate. Exactly the tech i was after. The V-twin MC engine gets reasonable torque for what it is. 98NM at 6000RPM standard with no tweaks to motor. How hard is it to divorce the FWD gearbox from the motor itself? and how do you go about getting drive to the gearbox ...

If you want ideas take a look at all the NZ buggies. Most run 35" tyres (35's are max for our comps) and depending on class, 4's 6's or 8's. First choice you want to make is if you actually want it actually lightweight or just relatively lightweight. If you really want it lightweight dont even waste ...

If I used a 1600 block with a gti head, would it be suitable for runnning boost?

Its designed to be used like that (or so im told). A local guy builds them, mainly for stock cars but used on 4wd's a lot. They are fully rebuildable aswell.

Thanks mate. The motor looks a good fit. This isn't the one that had coilovers or the Holden (turbo???) is it? the very same ;) decided awhile back that the 202 wouldnt cut it and so stuck that thing in and then stupidly got caught up in other projects. Hope to have in running in the next coupla ...

I stuck hilux diffs in mine (well cruiser housing with hilux head in the rear end). In hindsight it was a bad decision. The lux diffs are too narrow and weak. They wont be helped by the 1uz either :? . They have had RR suspension mounted on em Ive only got a swb body, not a ute (which i would ...

have a search on pirate. theres a guy doing a 2jzgte into one

Theres a guy in NZ whos done it. He used the ecotec motor and a cruiser (I think) transfercase.

I currently run them on my hilux, and while I have found them to be good so far, I went out with a couple of mates who are running irocs. The irocs shit all over the creepys in the stuff we were doing (loose rocky type shit and clay dirt etc). You could see where I was not getting any traction, the ...

on my discover (with lt230) I can put it in neutral and shift it, but only at 30k max

have a look at pirate4x4.com its a common conversion to get more width etc. According to pirate the 44's are about the same strength as a hilux but the 60's are much stronger (but also a much larger diff head)

Hey Turoa, So to fit a 1UZ to the auto you use the Prado auto and change the imput shaft, oil pump and bellhousing from the standard Lexus auto? And just use the flexplate and torque converter that comes with most import engines? What did you use for engine mounts? Any other problems in doing the ...

might be an option if this gear box gives me too much grief

4wd auto. can change to the supra one if you want to though

its in alot of early sedans, like cressider and supra, also 4 runners, and bundys by the look too if these a a340's, does this mean i could run a auto on my 7m in my bundy just using toyota parts? Yes it does. Just use the bellhousing, and probably oil pump and input shaft (about 2mins to change ...

Cheers for all the compliments guys. I enjoy engineering stuff. Its the mechanical side of 4x4's I hate. To make it look better could you have left a bit of the housing on one end of your adapter (instead of using the 50x6 flat bar?) Then you only have to Tig around one side. Yep i did look into ...

I thought I might stick up a little post about what ive been up to over the last week. It started off with buying a gbox and transfer off the net for $20 8) .... Then I got the idea of dual transfers. Since I dont have any money I couldn't buy one, and since I have access to a great workshop, I ...

A frames are really common over here and work great. Though you need to have good brakes on the tow wagon. On some vehicles though it doesn't like it if the caster etc is out to far and start to vibrate, but on most it is fine. The a frame just needs to be ideally parallel with the ground though as ...
