Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just about to get rid of my MTZ's. I got 50,000kms out of em and they are pretty much rooted. They seemed to wear quickly after 10,000kms. They were on a GU ute and were 285/75/16. I used them as daily drivers but also plenty of varied dirt work while hunting. I preferred my Wrangler MTR's. I got 20 ...

I just installed some LED tray lights on my GU ute. Everything works fine except one indicator. The left one goes quick now. I have read that because the LED lights draw so little power the car thinks an bulb is out and therefore will flash faster. Why would it only be happening with one indicator ...

Just been looking at one today in a forklift at work. Does anyone know if it's been done? Do you think it'd fit? It looks like it'd go in.

How much is the turbo for sale mate?

It might actually be hydraulic. I will get some photos up this arvo.

I just got one of these from work. Seems in good nick. Are these winches any good? Can they go on a GU Patrol?

Cheers.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it!

Replacing the waterpump this morning on the ute. Just wondering if there is a specified tension the waterpump bolts should be. If so what is it?

Thanks

Definitely interested in the intercooler. Send us a pm.

My Patrol was tuned yesterday. The boost is on 10psi. They got 114.2hp or 85kw out of it. This is with a 3inch exhaust(standard dump pipe). I gave it a run on the freeway today for work. I was heading out on the M4 for work to pick up a new engine. I noticed it is now extremely thirsty. You could ...

capacity of donor motor is 5.9 litre. Not sure about speed.

After pulling out some marine diesels at work I might be able to get one of the turbo's off em cheap. After some help in the Nissan tech section I have found out they are Garrett T04B88's. Would this turbo be ok for a 4.2 diesel motor or are they too big. Inlet housing on one is AR60 the other is ...

I put that engine number into google and this came up. It seems the turbo is a TO4B88 Garrett.

Would this Turbo suit?

The motor is a 1998 model deutz diesel. It's a marine motor. The plaque on the side of the motor reads - engine tipo TD229-6 . It's a 6 cylinder. It has 77 kilowatts.

Trying to get some more info

Just found these on the other engines turbo inlet. Same motor. P112032446 is that the one?

The only other numbers on the inlet side are B.G.G.3 or B.C.C.3. Can't quite make it out. The exhaust side numbers are DH8GA2 with an M1 below them.

Is that any help?

We are working on some motors for work. An opportunity has come up to get a Garrett m27 turbocharger pretty cheap. Would this turbo be suitable for a 4.2 patrol? The exhaust housing is Ar 70. I can't see the inlet size numbers.
Are these turbo's any good?

Any help appreciated.

A mate is lookin at an 07 hilux. It has 47,000kms on it. Both front tyres are bald. The dealer told him many hiluxs come out of the factory with poor alignment. Is this dealer tellin porkies? I found it a little hard to believe. Are there any other things to look for on a used hilux? Going to test ...

My mate has Troopy with aftermarket turbo done by MTQ a few years back. It has started cutting out at 3400rpm under load. It blows a plume of white smoke then dies. The turbo has started whistling.Not the normal whistling. It has had the fuel pump reco'ed,The turbo reconditioned(MItsubishi turbo ...

Cheers. Looks like I'll have to siphon the main then.

Does the GU ute have drainable tanks or do I need to remove them to drain them?


Cheers.

Took it to auto electrician today.Alternator is on the way out.Bill $450.Faaark. The old Kingswood was $70 for a new one!

If it was the brushes can I rebulid it or am I up for a newby.

I have now checked the voltage with my multimeter.The main Battery has 12.6 volts.The Aux battery has 12.6.The alternator is putting out 12.3 at idle.
More when revving.

I was heading home from the North Coast NSW on the freeway yesterday.I noticed those three warning lamps on.Ipulled over and drained the fuel filter.There was no water in it.I tested the sub tank.It still worked.My turbo timer has reading coming from the alternator.It was down to 12.7 volts at idle ...

Just wondering how much you paid for your snorkel and where you got it.Would you reccomend them.
I think ARB Artarmon quoted around 530 for the Safari last time I was there.I would call around but I'm overseas at the moment.

Cheers

I noticed that.

Can this sort of thing be plumbed into the existing engine cooling or does it need a separate radiator/pump?
