Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I know where there is a complete Holden V8 304 conversion and automatic in a GU Patrol for sale, the conversion is still fitted so you get everything you need, no hidden pieces including, including exhaust, computer, wiring, hoses.......... for $5000,

If anyone is interested PM me

Do it yourself, drop the box, $20 seal, if your that tight for cash just replace the clutch plate $120, 2 mates and $50 for 2 slabs

I'll drink to That

Also the handbrake light stays on when the keys are out of the ignition, could there be a relay somewhere stuck on?

Just finishing of the last few loose ends on my V8 Chevy conversion and I noticed that the oil Light on the dash Is constantly glowing when the car is turned off and the keys are out of the ignition, just wondering if anyone know what may be doing this? I know the the sender for the oil light is the...

Hey Turkeys :cool: Just Fitted my Chev 383 Stroker to my SWB using one of marks adaptors, I'm using Hugger style extractors, my question is, how have others run the exhaust on the Drivers side down past the gearbox as there is very little room due the front tail shaft? Any help or Pics would be grea...

I found this on ebay, If your considering running your Patrol on Straight LPG this is for you. I'm Not the one selling it, I just know a bit about LPG.http://cgi.ebay.com.au/gas-research-400 ... dZViewItem

BOOST it first, my Last GQ did over 450000km when I sold it and It still wasn't useing oil. If anything I would get the Head rebuilt, valves, seals guides, seats and decked

raptorthumper I told you that blow thru is the way to go

If your manifold it is cracked I have spares (TD42 &TB42)
You can PM Me If you need one
Cheers Cam

It was always going to be a V8, I started building the chev 12 months ago, I just wanted to see how the TB42 would react to the Turbo and LPG before I pulled the motor out( it loved it). I have built a few Chevy's over the years and my plan for my swb was always going a 383. You can not beat the low...

I've got a GQ SWB and have just finished building a Torque Monster 383 Chev, 10.5:1 compression (straight LPG), head work (ss valves hard seats & porting), balanced bottom end, a high torque cam shaft, and a few other goddies :twisted: Now I'm up to the last peice of the puzzle, What should I ru...

I ran mine at 22 deg adv on gas with the vac line disconnected. It loved it heaps more torque down low, no pinging, smooth power all the way to 5500rpm. I was getting 18lt to 20 lt per 100km around town.

Thanks for that

Hi has anyone used the Bellhousing Conversion that Castlemaine Rod Shop sells?( Part No. BH78 www.rodshop.com.au ) Its to put a Chev SB or turbo pattern Holden V8 into a GQ... I spoke to them and was told it is designed to use the Nissan Clutch Assembly all you need to do is get the Chev/Holden Flyw...

Hi I've got a 1988 GQ SWB 4.2 Petrol 5 speed Patrol and I'm just interested in what the rear diff is ment to be. Only because I've read conflicting information 3.9 and 4.111, at 100km/hour (on the speedo) in 5th is it sitting on 2400rpm or close to it.

Thanks

It's easy to setup a TB42E on LPG just use a IMPCO 225 Mixer and plumb it in front of your standard Throttle Body, use a Impco L or E convertor and wire/plumb it up. Impco 225 flows 329cfm TB42 is 4169cc = 254cubic inches Max cfm required at 4500 @100%VE is 254 cubic inches X 4500 rpm / 3456 X 100%V...

If you want a Pertronix Ignitor for a tb42 I have a new combo on ebay at the moment

When I bought mine it was straight petrol (highway 22l/100Km around town 27L/100Km, I got sick of paying $1.30per litre so I gave the carb the flick and replaced it with a throttle body from a xf flacon with a adaption plate and ran a Impco 225 miver and a L series convertor, I was told to remove th...

It is possibile if you went draw thru with carby and lpg

Here are a few pics

The turbo conversion really makes it a great toy to drive, It throws you back into the seat from 1800revs to redline, Plus a huge surge of torque when the boost comes on. I would do the conversion again any day, if you ask me the best dollars I every spent on the rig. What does it cost? Welll it cos...

I just got my SWB GQ Back on the road Today and I have to say that anyone that calls a TB42 a Boat Anchor, has No Idea what a little bit of Artifical Aspiration can make. Here is my Turbo Build Up For Fuel, LPG Only, I'm using a Impco L Convertor Impco CA225 Mixer in Blow Thru configuration with the...

Hi has anyone else turbo'd there carby TB42, I'm just finishing mine off and I'm trying to find info on what dissy mod I need to do apart from electronic ignition conversion. I'm running straight gas blow thru with a throttle body. I realise the Vac advance is no longer good for much. I'm lead to be...

I've built many V8 over the years and have experience in repowering 4x4's, I believe the true answer to your question is CHEV not just any old 350 327 or 305 use a Mid to Late 96 to 2000 350 Chev Vortec. These are roller engines which are extreme economical due the the design of the ports of their c...
