Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Keep the 4.6 diffs, The LS1's tend to get better economy if they can rev a little in a big heavy car

oops bit of a grave dig on that one

the LS1 is not known for a lot of low down torque. L98 6.0L is much better.
You can also try changing the intake manifold to one from a LQ4 Silverado LS. That will help with low down. Also as mentioned I think cam choice is wrong. Need a nice truck / tow cam.
I would go the 4.6 diffs with the 35's ...

Hey, In short yes the cummins 6BT is do-able, Will be a great conversion.

We are currently doing a GU patrol cummins 6BT for R&D of adapter kits. 105 will ...

I was getting around 16L/100 in my wagon, on 33's, with a L98 and 6l80e combo. Can't run a 6l80e behind the 5.7. Different computer systems

I think LS1 would be roughly the same price as 4.8, Because you need to run aftermarket ECU on the 4.8, which will be costly.

Hey,
You can use your ancillaries, But will need to change the water pump and balancer aswell.

To run your ECU you would need to change the reluctor wheel on the crankshaft, change to mechanical throttle body, change the injector plugs, and lengthen the cam sensor and map sensor wires.
Otherise ...

Hey,
It is not bradens buisness
I have done some work for shane from snail pace, Great guy to deal with. I have not seen one of there cutdowns so can't comment on that, But other work I have seen of their's seems to be pretty good.

Yeah I do, Thats why a have a 6litre in my cruiser

I agree that a 1KD would be great, But don't think I will get my money back. Personally I have always considered the 5L a bit over rated and would prob not consider it when you can have an alloytec with near the same power but better economy.

I would really like to go with an alloytec because I ...

In NSW yes, In QLD its a $60 mod plate

If i'm gonna do an engine swap it won't be a slow old diesel

Ok Guys, I have just aquired a 96 dual cab hilux that has a dead motor. I am going to fix it up to sell it. Now my question is should I put an upgraded engine in, or just put a 22R back in it. If I do a conversion on it, What would make it the most sell-able,

My thoughts at the moment would be ...

If its the one I think it is I did the engine wiring on it a few years ago. At that stage it was at suncoast 4wd centre. Maybe bluey may know a bit of history, He did some work on it

VooDoo how does the Boss 260 make less power than the LS1, both can be tuned in stock form to nearly 300kw and possibly 550 Nm of torque.


Its always made less power than the LS1, takes up twice as much room and weighed twice as much. They don't rev as well, upgrading cams is 4 times as expensive ...

Thanks for that, i had looked at the CCDA site a while back, must have missed that bit, I only knew about the 2 cages rule.

Hey all, Looking to put a 6 point cage in my 80 series, that is soon to be a ute.

Question is regarding the rear back stays, Where do I attach them to and how. Obviously they can't attache direct to the chassis becaue the rest of the cage is attached to the body, which is rubber mounted.
Could I ...

Hey,
I am looking at chopping my 80 series sahara cab into an extra cab ute, But have a dilema in that the sunroof mechanisim runs right back past the cut line.

Has anyone else come across this, and what did you do to get around it.

Was thinking of just cut down the mechanisim but sure what would ...

Are we able to get all our individual stage scores and times? Just to know where we can improve for next year.

Thanks for a great weekend guys, Very happy with our result for our first competition. Will be back next year for sure with a few improvements and some more experience

Congrats to everyone.

One day left before we leave, Still no front diff centre in the truck, Gotta love the last minute rush!

It will be nice and warm Steve. Until we get to the water stages.

Yeah that will not be much fun.
Speaking of water, will there be any deep water driving, IE, should I get a snorkel on the truck in the next week?

Awesome, umm NOT!!

The cruiser will be either 4.1 or 4.3 ratio diffs, Not exaxtly sure which model had what ratio.

Does this mean by the stand alone wiring that killalux is doing for these engines that they could be fitted to anything? Does that include allison trans control as well? What other trans options are ...

No worries phil, If troy can email me the app forms would be great. Killa_kustoms@live.com.au

Thanks

If any spots open up I would like to go on a standby list, Have a team ready to go.

Steve

Will a snorkel be required? or is there no deep water

Steve

You either need to run an aftermarket ECU, or connect the NATS anti theft system from the GU aswell as use the Key from the GU to disarm it.

Other than that mechanically is straight forward

Steve

rouughly 6 to 6.5 km/L with a L98 6L and 6L80e auto on 33's in a full wagon. That is with a stock tune, and running 98 unleaded.

Was about the same when I had the manual box behind it. VSS made no difference to mine at all.

Steve

Nope, different bolt size and different offset.

t400, t700 or built nissan box with manual valve body
