Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I`d be checking the water pump flow rate. Make sure that it is circulating coolant. Could explain why the heater is slow to react.

Tb42e dissy is a crank angle sensor so it needs an ECU to fire the coil.

Has anyone had the pleasure of replacing the heater core on an `02 model? Any tricks to look out for or tips on removing the dash? Any info would be apreciated

Hi Pete, Wozza and Chris Wood are good to go. Entry form and payment sent today. See ya there, Woz.

I would be checking the tappet clearence. Its only down 10% of its compression on those cyls. I get a lot of td42s in my shop that are sluggish until the tappets are adjusted. If you are concerned about engine condition, have a proper leak-down test done, if its about 20% or less the engine is fine ...

Hi, the number is stamped in the rail above the pitman arm ball and is usually quite faint so clean it up with a wire brush.

They are the same as skyline top feeders except in length . From memory, i think it`s 10 mm spacer under fuel rail.

I`d fit the Qjet . It`ll run real nice and it won`t suffer from drying out when used on gas. They have a lot of adjustments and can be well tuned.

I`ve found this before, Check that the presured t belt tentioner isn`t cactus, water pump is driven of back (smooth) side of t belt and are prone to slipping. Bigger tyres= more load on engine , more demand on cooling system.

Have got one in my mq with a 10 litre air tank. It`s been in there for 2+ years and has been faultless. It inflates my 35in trepadors from 15psi to 35psi in about a minute per tyre. I have a 30amp circut breaker controling it . They do draw about 15 amps when running.

Well dave , by seting it up this way, most of the vehicles that are used every day are not allowed to compete. How can having to buy and set up another vehicle be called keeping costs down. I thought the idea of this was a street class for 4x4 owners that don`t want to have a full blown race truck ...

Dave, is fuel injection off same engine series ok? eg:L28E in MQ , TB42e in GQ or we have to use lpg to make older petrols run fine up hills??

EXELLENT... I`m sure this will be very popular with a broad range of vehecials able to compete in a more or less standard class. Of the shelf hydro low mount ok? Great idea.

To the organizers of the OBC... PLEASE EXPLAIN.... This has the potential to really damage the sport in the eyes of future competitors and spectators. Transparency and consistancy is essential. Protest and be disqualified???? Last time i checked Australia was a democracy not a facist state! Just my ...

1995 to 2000 model wrx pump can be sourced with a goss number. If your long range uses a std gq efi pump this replacement will fit.
Cheers Woz.

Tee-piece fuel pressure gauge into high pressure line where it joins fuel rail. Should be about 38 psi at idle, and should spike up about 10psi when you snap the throttle. Also, to test pump reserve, CAREFULLY pinch return hose and check it makes at least 80psi.

Intank fuel pump is dying... or strainer on the bottom (unlikely). Aftermarket Subaru wrx intank pump fits perfectely. I`ve had 2or3 high mileage gq`s come through my workshop with similar simptoms and thats been the fix.Hope this helps Woz.

LS1&2 engines bolt up to chev pattern with one bolt missing. Dowles are corect size aswell. Have just fitted a turbo 400 to a blown ls1 in a late model monaro . Std turbo converter bolts to std ls flexplate so chev adaptor bellhousing will fit. Might have to re drill fly wheel to take chev clutch ...

Oil flush x2 , run for 20 minutes. Drain oil when hot. Replace filter and some quality 10/30 oil. Fixes 90%of the ones i`ve fixed. These engines have very small oil feeds to the lash adjusters so they must keep the oil clean and the write grade. To thick in the oil - noisey lash adjusters. Hope this ...

The temp sender is located at the rear of the cyl head on the inlet side and is 1\8bsp thread.

I`ve got a set of 35 in radial trepadors on my mq. Awsome tyre off road, havent had to let em down below 20 lbs yet. On road not bad but feel quite boaty. I dont run them over 35 lbs on the street because the stand the tread face up and they wear the edges off the blocks. I dont think they will last ...

Unfortunatly there is no other way. I almost changed replaced mine till i found a bloked diff breather. Repacked front wheel bearings and repacked cv hubs and it`s been fine for 6 months now.

I`d be surprised if you have damaged a lifter or camshaft. It didnt land on the sump or bash guard??. There isn`t mutch clearence between sump and pickup and it is easily reduced causing restricted supply to oil pump. I`ve also seen an impact to sump disturb the pickup oring causing the same problem ...

subaru engines have done this forever. remove oil pump and replace o rings. they square off and the oil pump sucks in air and makes lifters rattle. have repaired heaps of them . after this repair they get oil presure a lot quicker.

The rule is in qld the engine that you are using is the same age or newer than the vehicle that it is going into. If the engine is older, it must be on straight gas not dual fuel. It is to do with emission requirements. There is a new code of practice for vehicle mods being released that might ...

Scott, looks just like a commodore centre bearing

Adam, check converter pressure and make sure it is boost referenced. sounds like lean-out backfire. Also check comp wheel nut on turbo is tight after backfireing. Have seen plenty damage from this.

Correct. I`ve done it to B2 converters without problems

Tony, i`ve set up gas after the cooler but had to boost reference the converter to keep 4psi of gas presure above boost presure just like a blow-through carby. It was nice to tune and nice to drive up to 15 psi. Warren WM Motorsport 32051951
