haha good luck with proving that one

alot of ecus have an auto tune function using a wideband and base map. good luck finding a carby that has that

ok so while i was away the alternator died on my 60 series 2H diesel got a price for a replacement and i just cant afford the $600 price tag right now so i got one off a mate that was internally regulated

so i was just wondering if some one can explain to me how i should wire this up as i have to ...

my only issue with the troopy is the height of it and it looks very narrow so i guess i worry that it seems like it would be keen to tip over

i found 3 80 series for sale all lots of kms and they were all 15000 and nothing special only one being diesel and that had like 400 000kms so i dont know might have to look on the mainland when i am there

well a gu would be perfect as the person i will be touring with will also be in a GU but i did not think my budget would stretch that far
but ii am going to SA for 2 weeks and will have a think and when i get home i hope to have made up my mind! haha thank you for all the advice

well i do all mods myself and i was thinking 3-4 inch lift with either gq-80 as i would like to go do some tracks around the place aswell i have found a gq in reasonable condition for a decent price. which fits in very nicely with budget and already has the lift i want and leaves me cash for other ...

in what way is the 6.2 unreliable?

i had an old p & n set that my grandpa gave to me before he died in the wooden box along with about 100 other random taps and dies grate set but my uncle decided it was unfair so he got them after he died

yeah this is the way i am beginning to think i have found a decent 80 series that looks to need an engine transplant haha

ok guys i know this has been covered but be buggered if i can find it!

i am wanting to build up a touring 4wd that is still capable for the tracks now i have a 6.2l chev to go in what ever 4wd i choose so motor is not really an issue.

i have had 3 mq patrols which is pushing me towards a gq and i ...

i forgot all about the bible thanks for that

if any ons has a picture of the 6.2 fitted they could send me i would love to see if there is room for a couple of small turbos in there

i am looking at fitting a 6.2 chev to my mk patrol there are 2 places that seem to make a bell housing Dellows and Castle Main Rod Shop. i was wondering if any one has used any of these bell housings (chev-sd33t)

the idea is to more the gear box and transfer forward 25mm to help clear the fire wall ...

sadly from what i have heard marks dont do any mq-mk converions
i guess i will just make sure they know what i expect as the purchaser! and hope like hell it works

now with all rodshop things ive seen do the bolt holes actually line up properly ??

And did it come with all the bolts? The correct bolts?

Still, it could be worse... it could have come from Dellow Automotive.

could some one please expand on these issue as i am about to purchace a bellhousing ...

thank you mate a grate help

they are not adr approved but if you paint them the same colour as the 4wd it wont matter and you wont look like a ricer

i am wanting to put a 6.2 in my mq swb and was wondering what the gear box bolt pattern was and what box would be the best manual box for this motor

i put 33x12.5 on my mk and decided to do body lift as the clearance was minimal and with much off road work they would have rubbed .
but if you are using the 7 inch rim and patrol offset rims they should be fine as they will sit in the guard
not alot of help sorry but i hope it helps
cheers justin

i ran 35s on my mk swb with 2 inch body lift and cut guards never had an issue with rubbing at all kept it nice and low

with all things carbon you need to put a protective coating on the carbon to protect from U.V as it will go yellow and deteriorate

yep we were stuck up to our asses in mud in a soa gq flat tray
got us out
pulled it out at home and it was dry as =waterproof
but we only used it once

my mate got one sent to tassie it only cost like 80$ and didnt have to buy anything extra and the time i used it on his patrol it did its job we were happy with it

i think he accedently put this as a new topic instead of a reply (to many beers?)

my old l28 used to light up both rears but it also only did about 150km/tank but damn did it go they are a good motor

why would you put a 253 in a 4wd especialy a heavy 4wd if you want a v8 go for the efi 304 or if you have a company fuel card the 308

put a cooler on it and carefully wind some booost and fuel in to it

hand brake mate

well there is a whole world of oil leaking out of my turbo(i would say seals are gone) and i was just wondering what turbo people have used for an upgrade i am looking for some more power.
i was thinking the t25 but a bit worried it might be a little laggy

i am running a top mount inter cooler and ...
