Thanks for the notice. I had given up

I would get the diesel loom and save yourself some trouble. There is the potential to spend a lot of time splicing in wiring, finding correct plugs and connectors for various things. Have you priced a diesel loom from a wrecker? I would be interested to hear how much In answer to your questions ...

Thanks a lot for that bit of info. I also had to replace the clutch slave 2 years ago to pass rego as it was leaking slightly - however that was less than 10,000kms ago.


anyone else have the same issue with slave cylinders?

Hi guys 1990 GQ patrol TD42 i have had a DTS turbo and DTS full 3 inch exhaust inc dump pipe fitted for 3 years. I have procrastinated over this issue for 3 years; The dump pipe seems to have very minimal clearance with the clutch slave cylinder bracket/heat shield. The manifold and dump pipe bolts ...

hmmm. don't know what is going on there. the scales i used were certified and were checked using our body weights. Obviously you had a few more bits strapped to it when it went on the scales, but not enough for another 100 odd kilos. either way the TD 42 falls into the "very heavy" category given ...

I weighed this stuff a few years back;

the compressor, pipes, and that stuff is close enough to be the same. i have a TD42 where a TB42 used to live, and the full aircon system was retained in the vehicle without depressurising it. Sorry but can't remember if the brackets to hold the compressor to the engine were the same. might have had ...

i know two that were at 700k two years ago. both were going strong

My mate bought the TD42 kit from 4wd systems about 2 or 3 years ago. it was the denco kit - and it was freighted from denco in wagga direct, and with denco stickers on it. You might want to check to see if this is still the case, as the only difference in buying that kit from either denco or 4wd ...

sorry but i strongly disagree about listening to wreckers. Given what crap some wreckers have told me - i would not suggest trusting just any wrecker. i think you have a better chance of finding correct info on the web.

back to the topic?

Spannercrab - is that cooler the one they market as the 350hp, or the 600hp? And i wondered why you have the core where both the inlet and outlet are on the same side - would the core with the inlet and outlets on different sides have made it easier to fit (or required less piping)? im keen to hear ...

It looks much neater.
Is this mod supposed to flow more air than the standard GQ filter set up, with or without the pre-cleaner? i have a TD42 with DTS turbo kit, so am interested in benefits.
Thanks

looks like petrol auto bellhousing can be modified without too much trouble?


Johno, do you have an auto box in mind, or are you looking at mine in Dave's shed??

i know someone who had a 2nd hand turbo kit for them. not sure if they have gotten rid of it yet.
let me know if you want me to chase it up

when you head north, things get hotter. i would pay attention to the condition of your radiator as you will probabally travel in hotter than usual conditions, and with a decent load onboard. mud, leaves, grass seeds and crap blocking the airflow will add to cooling issues. I suggest pulling the ...

having seen way too many bad quality tanks break in remote locations, i would very strongly suggest you pay the extra money (probably not much more) and get the best possible brand tank. if you can't afford the best, stick with your standard tank and use jerry cans. there are very few places you ...

search helps you find stuff............

not sure what your mate was up to matsmad, mounts are definately the same between the 4.2's - unless it was a 3.0 petrol or a 2.8 diesel?

i found Ashdowns significantly cheaper than repco for VDO boost and EGT gauges.

I would suggest that "Cooma Diesel" is one of those two places that could rebuild the EFI pump. Give them a ring (at their Fyshwick address - freecall 1800 637 322), they have always been very helpful and should be able to fill you in on what is going on.

If i can take one point you made bogged - it will be used for outback travel - then i can't see why you would want to go past the stock engine (TD42) with a turbo. Tried and tested.
my 2c - Save your money for fuel rather than mucking around with transplants and unusual setups.

Thanks Woop.
sump has to come off soon anyway....

Thanks for that.
i suppose you have not heard of any changes since the 78/79 came out.

marko - how hard is it to check if squirters are in position? or any idea how long would it take a competent mechanic to do it? do you have to pull em apart?
for a 1990 td42

Hi i am trying to find out which gearbox is to be found in the latest 78/79 diesel cruisers. we have had recurring problems with the weak box found behind the 1hz (R151f?). the stronger box behind the factory turbo diesel has been fine (H150f?) I thought i heard a rumour not long ago that toyota ...

Great to see someoone having a go at a Twin set up. The cummins 5.9 seems to be a common TT canditate in Nth America with ~50psi. About time someone tried the same treatment on the Jap diesels over here.... so nice one Dzltec.
I look forward to seeing how things progress.

Not enough torque to bother

bushy555 - when you say you installed a ball bearing DTS turbo, is this just the standard turbo in the standard DTS kit? or is it a modified turbo, or something else? i just thought all the standard kits (AXT, Denco ,DTS, Safari) were non-ball bearing. I would be interested in a kit with a ball ...
