Hello All,
just noticed there is a hole at the bottom of my water pump that is leaking coolant from. the pump doesnt appear to have any wear and is nice and firm, is this an indicator that the pump is on the way out?

thanks alan

you could try Paul at Patrolapart in Lilydale. Not sure if he still does them but even if he doesnt he could give you costs and who to go through.
He originally did mine and i am happy with the work and finish of the conversion

Hi ,
I have afriend who needs to source a new front diff for a 2002 defender in Melbourne.
Can anyone recommend where to get one from?

Transdiff in bayswater told hil that all the working parts including centre are damaged and requires a new one.

Any thoughts would be appreciated

Alan

hey matey im doin the same conversion atm and thats where im upto so you have the holden brackets and it wont fit?? im just bout to buy them and holden pump to much effort to customise the gq stuff to fit Which holden brackets are you taling about? Thats not mine for sale, I have a 355 with the t70...

I already have one of these and there has been some talk about this conversion over the last couple of months. There is a reasonable GQ SWB one on ebay that would be much cheaper to buy already done than do it to your own rig. It's even on gas. 2inch body and 2inch suspension, rear diff lock what mo...

Good advice, the only thing is the manifold, unfortunatly the 65mm throttle body and manifold are hugely restrctive, you will be hard pressed to make power over 4500 rpm with a 355 and the standard EFI manifold. Just recently I rebuilt and tuned a 304 Walkinshaw(twin throttle group A manifold), mil...

JUst because you stroke it wont mean that u will get overheating problems. I guess its proportional to power output. If it were a 400hp mill yeah maybe. You will pick up some horsepower with the stroker but its the tourque that will increase alot. After i stroked the 308 in my tonner i only picked ...

The injected heads flow alot better than the old red heads, Im pretty sure they will flow 460hp as they are. As you are building it for tourqe the standard valves and ports are perfect. Small ports and valves equals air speed, which also helps atomize the fuel better. Stroker cranks are getting che...

Hi, just about to freshen up my 304 in my GQ auto. I am wanting to build it for torque and maxing rpm out at around 5700. just after options on what the engine should contain i.e should i go 355 stroker or keep with standard internals and install a better cam etc, GRP A injectors etc Any thought wou...

I am in a similar position. I am looking at doing transfer gear reduction and then a front air locker that can be turned on and off. Running the 35s and having transfer reduction might be a plus with the larger tyres. As far as turbo upgrade goes if you are happy with what you currently have stick w...

I run the standard diesel radiator with the holden fan and it never gets hot. I dont run gas and it is just a standard v8 with a chip and extractors.
If you are putting a t700 behind it I would suggest a big trans cooler with thermo.

Hi just browsing and saw this sale in queensland for a gu 4inch lift, swaybar disconnects, drop boxes and mickey t's 35's

appears to be a good deal

Hi All, looking at upgrading the existing GU turbo on my 4.2 diesel. i know that there companys that do an upgrade such as denco?? who offer a bolt on upgrade. The other options is to replece it with something like a garret dico potato. I am after which option is the best considering that I am not t...

Yeah, i hear ya on the intercooler plumbing. I'd have to say that a large majority of the work/time on my 180B was spent on intake plumbing. PITA!! Great to see you're happy with the conversion, gives me a bit more inspiration to do it myself rather than fork out 5 big ones for someone to do it for...

is that problem with the membrane an expensive problem and what actually happens when he has the problem I am not sure of the exact nature of the mixer, it was replced under warranty, I am unsure of how it happens and what happens. currently he is overseas. perhaps someone else might have heard of ...

Hey AC, how did all of the parts go together, easy? Are you happy with the difference in power/torque? See if you can post up a before and after dyno run from the workshop!! Coxy sure no problem, just driving it as it is it feels far more responsive and crisp, I would have been happy with the strai...

Friend has it and has noticed an improvement in performance. he also said that he had problems with the membrane in the mixer douling and thought it would be quite some time before he would recoup the additional 1500 to 200 grand outlay. He has it in a Gu and was a little dissapointed with the tank ...

Hi Just fitted a gu turbo, gu pump and intercooler to my gq and I am wanting to get it dyno tuned.

How much can I expect to pay and does anyone have any reccommendations?

I was also going to fit a boost and pyro gauge, should I do this before getting it dynoed?

thanks Alan

what is the best auto locker for a gq rear and what is the expected price?

thanks Alan

tweak'e wrote:what pump have you fitted as there is a couple of different GU injector pumps.

most likely the fuel cutoff solenoid isn't working. check your wiring.

there is power to the solenoid, what are way you could test the solenoid?

have the old gq one, would that fit into the gu one?

thanks

Hi just in the middle of putting a gu injector pump onto my gq turbo diesel. I have mounted the pumpe in and and just bled it from the 17mm srew near the front of the engine by pumping the hand pump till fuel comes through. I still have had the injector nuts loose to beeld any any air to that point ...

[quote="Den81"]Mine is a cooler from ebay, 280x300x75mm. Seems to work good with a thermo fan mounted underneath it. It sucks through the cooler. Its putting out 95kws at the wheels with 13psi on 35's and 4.1 diffs. http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o194/Den81/turbo001-1.jpg Cheers Den[/q...

top mount heat exchanger scrapes through for emissions and production costs....efficiency for performance sux...front mount aftercooler is the way to go but is a tight fit...how much power increase do you want to achieve?....not much of opinion on water to air aftercoolers...It's 30 year old techno...

Hi, juts wondering if anyone have put in a top mount intercooler into a gq. I have a gq with a gu airscoop already installed and I am looking at the option of placing a GU style intercooler below it. The other option and the more available one is to get a kit of ebay and just plumb it in through the...

the flange pattern should be the same but the dump pipe abd oil lines etc may need modding to line up right whats wrong with the ait manifold? it has already been welded not that is a problem, tried to get someone to install it for me and they say it is not worth doing that the technology is too ol...

my gq runs an ait kit on it. it has had it on there since 1988. the manifolds have a standard t3 flange pattern my car was making just shy of 150hp at about 14 psi with an ait turbo and pump mods but the turbo is getting a tad tired and isnt as effiecint anymore prob closer to 130 now they commonly...

hi,
does anyone run an older AIT turbo system or has driven one and compared to a later style turbo kit such as dts,axt etc?

just after any information or experience people have had, also if the manfold is the same as any other cast turbo manifold ?

thanks Alan
