Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A 3" pipe on a Tdi needs a muffler, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I built my own 3" system about 7 or 8 years ago, and didn't bother with a muffler as everyone said "it's a turbo, turbo's don't need mufflers..."

Bollocks.

I kid you not, SWMBO could hear me down-changing 6km from home, it ...

Another tall driver that fits OK (into a crew cab)

I'm a touch under 6'2" and all legs. The seat has been raised 22mm and the seating position is excellent for me, much more comfortable on a trip than our GU Patrol.

In the Patrol I have knee and back problems if driving for an hour or more, none ...

And Jim, you now get good brakes as well. :)

?? Not compared to 'fender brakes ?

(although the extra width of the GU brakes is nice to stav off fade)

Jumping from the GU to the Defender and back I prefer the pedal of the 'fender, and they both pull up just as well as each other in an emergency ...

I'm guessing Rovacraft or karcraft, at least phone and try. Karcraft are a Bearmach agent, Bearmach supply spacers.

Otherwise you could knock the old studs out and use some socket head capscrews lightly tacked into the back of the hub.
I used to get this done on race cars when i wanted to run ...

Re the new D-Max/Colorado engine, one of the neighbours works for the Council here and gets a new ute every two/three years.

The latest Colorado is superior on fuel economy to his old Rodeo by a massive margin (can't recall the km/l but it's significant) and seeing as he doesn't pay for his fuel it ...

I know its a bit off topic but in the graphs shouldn't the power and torque curves cross at 5252 rpm.

I dont understand this statement???? what about engines that have a peek rpm of 4400???

cheers,
Serg

He's right, for Imperial/US power/torque figures ;)

BHP is a calculated figure from ...

Here's the 3.0 HTP Iveco.
Sorry, it's pretty coarse.

Defender change over point from the Tdi to TD5 was early/mid '99.
My late '98/first registered 99 is one of the last Tdi's and has the 'K' suffix R380 (built for the TD5, stronger 'box than the Tdi 'J' suffix R380) ) and had OAT coolant and Cold Climate (green) power steering fluid too. (both TD5 ...

sorry for the derail....but thanks for all the replys. John as always I appreciate your time to help me understand.

To John, Rick and Dougal, what new current engines in the 3ltr or there abouts class would be a good option??? Isuzu? Iveco? peugot?

cheers,
Serg

I honestly don't know Serg, it ...

Doing a Google and I just found this on a Pommy forum

I have a 2.8TGV in my Defender 110, which has been a great engine to date, returning similar mpg to the 200TDi it replaced and providing a lot more torque, especially at low rpm...
Unfortunately, this morning, I was driving up to Bolton to ...

Serg, I have some power/torque curves comparing the 300Tdi and both versions of the 2.8 but it's in a PDF and I don't think I can upload it to here.
Anyway, here's some raw data, sorry it's in imperial units.


LR TD5
Displacement :- 2,495 cc
Maximum power :- 136 bhp @ 4,200 rpm
Max governed rpm ...

Stop giving us ammo :lol:

Have you thought of machining a spacer for between the axle housing and the swivels and getting Barry to make you longer axles to suit ?

That'll maintain your scrub radius/KPI and wont stress the bearings/stub axle, although you'll ...

Ever looked under any MB, CJ or older FSJ ?
Dana 18,s, 20's, Quadra Trac's, etc go down the drivers side.

We've had two Spacecases on the back of a GU ute for seven years now.
They haven't discoloured at all, and are still 100% water and dustproof.

Serg, As Dave said stray current can be an issue in anything that has bad earths.
Remember the TD5 Defender rad is aluminium too.

A mate went through three radiators in his VR Commodore before the rad shop decided to check for stray current :roll:

It doesn't matter how good the inhibitors are in ...

Justin Cooper in Tassie made some bigger ic's that fitted in place of the factory ones. Reports were good;, however I don't know if he's got any left....You could try him on AULRO.

I think JC was using the ones Jase had manufactured.
Jase is the bloke in Vic that used to import the 2.8TGV

200Tdi can easily be boosted to 300Tdi levels without any decrease in reliability (12 psi to 15.5 psi)
Just adjust the wastegate actuator pushrod length as Cooter said.
Even 16/17 psi would be OK, beyond that the head gasket will more than likely let go in the long term, or at least that's the ...

1/2 rattle gun sorted it out :D
my rattle gun wouldnt even look at it had to borrow my mates new tti 890n/m 1/2 incher :cool: it still struggled :shock:

As John said, 3/4" drive is best for doing it back up, I snapped a 1/2" drive Snap On breaker bar tensioning mine up a few years back.

Or may just have to try other springs. Eibach have springs that cover a reasonable range either side of where I think it will be.

or you can just get some springs wound to your specs.
A mate had Better Springs at St Mary's wind some Van Diemen Mono shock roll springs for him, can't ...

From what I'm hearing, the Superpro bushes flex like slotted bushes also - but without the slot.

I don't know Slunnie.
The front axle to radius arm Super Pro bush feel to have less flex than the slotted bush (very scientific is feel :D ) although it only uses a centre crush tube and so doesn't ...

thanks mate, good info : )

do you think, regarding the front radius arms, that the eye bush at chassis end is better than the pin on disco 1, rangerovers, defenders etc...

i know some people think that the pin is not so good for up and down movement, but have seen how much they can move when not ...
