something is wrong with your fuel rail pressure regulator. Injectors operate at choked flow conditions so small pressure fluctuations don't affect injector flow. Also pressure reg helps keep pressure very high and at choked flow. I reckon your pressure reg is jammed open.

i tapped 2 holes and pulled mine on 6g72, and did not replace pulley. Engine is fine after 2 years and 40k km

as the RPM increases the flow more closely approximates a continuous one and like any pipework it will flow more for a given pressure if it is designed with non-restrictive bends etc. These designs are to give lower pressure drop at high flows exactly the same as extractors, not really suited to a ...

you need to get the vac from after the throttle plate. if you have enough vac before the turbo to actuate your diff you have roadkill in your air filter or some other significant blockage. Shoudl already have a check valve inline to the vac accumulator which will prevent boosting the vac system. re ...

i had an esocrt i built and licensed in WA with no external door handles.. only wireless electric actuated. Mine went through licensing no probs.. the only thing that is required is that the internal handle operation and lock operate as per factory.. so that you can escape in the event of an ...

the last express van i saw (although it was '92 model) had the torsion bars connected to the top control arm, so naturally you would have issues there.

have you been taking it to the same place to get your wheel alignments after you changed all those parts? or doing it yourself?

possibly a dry CV joint, the CV boot or the steel strap things that hold the CV boot on?

the only things it detects is that the centre diff lock is engaged and the vehicle speed is low (i think below 40kph) which the diff lock control unit detects from a reed switch in the dash.

What 4wd mode were you in, you need to have the transfer in 4WDc, it is an electrical interlock.

Hi,

i had an AC compressor set up as an air compressor in my gen1 4d55 (factory one actually :) ), and i'd love to do the same in my gen2 6G72, but i can't for the life of me think how to mount one under there. Has anyone successfully rigged up a crank driven air compressor on the V6 gen2? any ...

i found the same problem with my kelpros on gen2 3ltr. unfortunately mate i had to pull them and round out the holes to fit. not very happy after i just put the motor in with new mounts! from memory i did not take th emotor rights out, but did have to manipulate with engine crane and jacks to ...

means self destruct imminent

your engine is probably pinging (ie pre-ignition) it could be caused by:
to far advanced ignition timing, carbon deposits in combustion chamber, car overheating (perhaps locally), lean a/f ratio in one cylinder, or bad fuel.

hi guys,

what is the best wheel offset and width required for 31x10.5x15 steel rims on a 95 GLX LWB paj?

NL model, Oct 97 to Jul 00.

to test, just disconnect the hose and block it off, if the engine runs ok then replace or clean/soak the pcv valve in petrol

air leak into manifold, PCV valve jammed open?

last time i had one stuck on a borg warner 8-3/4" in an escort i just cut two lengths of heavy angle iron longest one about 600mm long, and then grab a couple of heavy bolts and nuts, drill holes in angle and sandwich the pinion yoke. prop all this against the ground, and then get your 1/2inch ...

cool, good idea. what are you breeding in your shed??

yeah, the gauge is reading right unfortunately, i think the relief valve must be stuck open or the spring broken, will check it out tomorrow.

What oil pressure do your 6G72's run at when operating temp and idling? I think mine is a bit low :(

what a PITA, i usually go through veale and they could not supply the heater hoses, maybe i should have been asking for NJ

the top bolts on mine (NH V6) were torqued up by superman, so i ended up making a simple device that consists of a 200mm long piece of steel tube that fits tight over the handle of a breaker bar, then weld a nice big steel handle on it out of scrap tube, so that the handle protrudes up through the ...

There are two types i have seen, one with two long bolts that are greased and run through bushes. the boots hold the grease at the bolts shaft and prevent contamination. The other type has a slot in the fixed half into which slides the other half of the caliper. The sliding surfaces consist of two ...

Are you sure....

Yes

For budding home mechanics: if you have floating calipers with the bolt type slider you need to service the boots/sliders when you change pads (grease them). 4WDs driven offroad will hold water in the boots and they will rust out, seizing the caliper. I've had a very similar thing happen on an EF ...

i have the sanden DIY convert, works a treat. I simply put a squirt of light machine oil in the suciton each time after use then i blow it to air before use to get rid of excess oil - never had a problem with it. I run an overpressure poppet valve ($10 at hose shop) in a tee-piece on the discharge ...

nope, a short motor is an engine without electrics, ancilliaries or cylinder heads. long motor is same but with cyl heads. what you prob need is the long motor cause most likely your whole motor is getting long in the tooth.

you really have four options, costs vary with how much you do yourself ...
