Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a solid axel one, it has no fluid in it atm, is there a rule of thumb to tell??

just wondering if anyone has a converted lux, wondering what cooling system u have, what pumps can u fit and other stuff like that

im attempting putting in power steering in my lux but im not sure which way the hoses go onto the hilux p/s box, they both look like there high pressure slots, i was told if i put the pressure and return in the wrong way ill stuff the box so i dont wanna just guess. P.S, i have a 308 in it so the ...

not sure what it is, i kind of built it up from bits i had haha, i think it runs ok but im not sure its entirely bulletproof, as in it dose some funny things when i go 4x4'ing, like revs go up or down on idle and i have to keep adjusting on the carb, i think it all boils down to the diaphragm in the ...

hey guy's

hey guys, i have a dedicated gas setup(pics below) and its a bit of a Frankenstein setup. it works, how well im not sure but i have no prob starting and have power so not sure. anyway, i want to go to gas research cos its gotta be way less complected and i think it'll be less touchy. has anyone got ...

fair enough, is there any real extreme type 4x4ing comps apart form rock climbing around???? money and time arnt really a prob as i do all the mods from scratch, im lucky cos i have all the machinery i will ever need and dads pretty handy with metal work.

yeah itll be my first comp style driving, its just right now the girl aint really road worthy enough to keep driving on the road but not customed up enough to be in major comps, im kinda stuck half way

hey all

just wondering if anyone knows if there is comps that you can have a fully mod'ed 4x4 (un reg' able) to race with other then tough dog ones.

just want to know as if there is a whole world of events out there then i can go wild on my lux

thanks ppl

hey there ppl just wondering if anyone knows what you can replace a 91 4 runner 2.4l, 22r engine with that will drop straight in with minimal effort or customization. is there a bigger one i can put in as i feel a 2.4 is a little small haha. i have looked at v8 con versions and worked out i cant ...

im thinking of putting a rear mounted radiator on my lux, the prob is i have a holden 308 and i cant fit a decent one up front cos of the room issues. ive tried a thermo and a cowling but no good. just wondering if anyone has attempted this and any info anyone has would be great thanks

yeah i have had to buy 1 new one and it cost me $345 to so i think ur getting a good deal

dose anyone know what brakes are better then the stock ones on a 86 twin cab, like any after market or swap from a 80 series or something. i think i need to upgrade the frount roters (back are drums) as it seems to be getting bigger and ddosent stop so quick anymore.


thanks

i have a hilux with 308 (former 253) and i used a marks 4wd adapter. i found no prob with the bellhousing adapter but all the other crap that they say u need i dident. in my opinion i think if you have heaps of car junk and tonnes of random bits n pieces laying around all you need to buy off them is ...

hey
my mate just got a 4 runner, 90 2.4l petty.
i was just wondering if anyone knew about any cheap easy ways to get a lil more balls out of it, i realize its not a powerhouse but until i fully convince him to do a v8 conversion it will have to do.

any advice welcome

i started out with a 253 in my hilux and after blowing it up i got it rebuilt, put a few doll hairs into it to and now that ive upgraded to a 308 thows parts are going to waste. i want to put the stage 2 gas power cam and the timing chain on the 308 but dose it fit??? seems like a shame as there ...

ow i see so do you reken i need a twin. dad said its heaps over kill but im not sure. i thin 1 will do the job as i rarely rev it to 6000 ( the tacho only goes to like 4) so im guessing 1 will do

awesome pics yeah i think im gonna get a single one and have duel air intake ( twin snorkels) meeting in a t shape on the end of the mixer intake. i think the single will be enough as a standard 308 cant draw more then like 300 something cfm and a single goes up 2 like 500, i think thats how i ...

hey my mate has a johnson 70 , 3 cyl 2 stroke and it dosent like starting in the water (sea) it starts on the hose but when ya out u need to lift the moter out of the water and with the cover off open the fuel wings or the air ones then it starts perfect. i cant work out why it why it needs a ...

oh sick

well it has to be better then the setup i have.
is the mixer more robust cos as soon as i get a lil mud on the diafram on my impco one it starts being silly. its also a ass to try n tune or start if the mix is a bit off??

i was thinking of getting a cam to for a bti more power

i think it should as long as its Toyota and a straight engine. i dont think they were that creative in inventing new patterns

dose anyone know anything bout gas research setups???

is it worth it??

i want to put some of there gear on my 308 hilux that is dedicated to gas.

any power loss/increase, more eco, ect

thanks

i was talking to my old boy n he rekens we can make up a cowl from scratch that will cover the whole thing and i get a thermo fan to blow backwards in the fount to help push air in, he thinks that should do the job. i hope it dose...

thanks for the advice n thoughts

ill post updates on the crises

well i have a cowl im making and i have a 8 fin plastic fan so i might swap to a steel one. dose the thermo in front of the rad blowing in help any???? i also think that not having anywhere for the air to go stops the cooling effect, i might look in to shark gills on the side or something. oh and ...

g'day i have a 86 hilux with a 308 in it, and i still have the standed radiator in it from the diesel. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about putting a bigger one in or getting another bigger one from another brand that fits with minimal fuss. I have a 3 core on it now witch was ok for the ...

ey man i have a 86 lux and i put a 253 in it using marks 4wd adapters. i have upgraded to a 308 just a few weeks ago and it goes really well for very little effort. The thing you have to look at with the v6's and the new v8's is all the wiring looms. Because of the coil packs, the fuel injection and ...

all helpful thanks

ill look into it a bit more and see how i go
