Outer Limits 4x4 Board

After having put a TH400 in my SWB Mav, I wished I'd gone for a $2000 carbon twin plate clutch, and a gearbox re-co....
Woulda been heaps cheaper.....

Transfer case is sitting about 125mm further back, which is on the limit for tailshaft shortening in a SWB.....

Having said that, the full manual ...

I wish my ls1 was gettin 19/100 on highway.
My turbo 4.0L Maverick is getting that towing my camper. Accelerates up any hill......

You want torque, then you will have to have some sort of forced induction. If you're worried about fuel economy, then you should've done the 6.5L diesel conversion ...

Agree with the others, the poly bushes are no where near as good as the genuine rubber bushes.

I cant complain about mine. The new ones should take some high rev launches at the drags a bit better. I heated my trailing arms a bit with an oxy set. Couple of taps and the old bushes were out no ...

I spose if not here you will let me know one Friday night before you get your call and bolt..............................

HEHEHEHE.......Early GQ/Maverick......

Hey,

Got new core and it came with a tap, just like original........fitted perfectly..



Now i can fit my new carpet i've had for 18 months.....lol

GU's do have a heater tap. I can guarantee at least series 1 GU's do and it's a plastic item on the inlet to heater core. I think I have photos on my computer somewhere as I had to bend the alloy pipes when I did the engine conversion. The cable that moves the air flap also rotates the water cutoff ...

Does anyone know if this can be done. I need to change my core as it's leaking, and the GQ's after 92 use same one as GU, and no heater tap.......strange???

Only option to keep is to have one custom made, which is what i think i will be doing....depending on price....Other option is to fit a falcon ...

Hey,

I also added some relays to go to the headlights. My battery is in the rear of the vehicle, and with some semi-decent sized cable from jaycar, rnning from my junction box, the headlights are 10X better. I have some 90/130's, but havent bothered to fit them yet, if at all.....

I have some blue ...

i got a W2A core you can have for 150 bucks. 2 1/2" in/out.....

You can just see the lower hose from heat exchanger. Pump goes to this, out the top to intercooler core. Pump is mounted behind bullbar.

I had coolant in my system, but got rid of it and just use plain water, as there was some electrolysis happening in the core.

No probs with the warmish water going thru my pump. I pump the cooled water from heat exchanger to the core. I have an extra tank for added capacity. I can send some pics ...

Hey,

I have GQ EFI twin pots, and slotted rotors. Yes they fit with 15 inch wheels......

Cheers

:cool: Daz :cool:

what sort of coin did you shell out for the setup. AM intrested in doing the same. Did you have to upgrade the master cyl as well?

Cheers
Sorry for the late reply. I picked up ...

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if the GU rear calipers are a bolt on to GQ/ Maverick.

I have upgraded the fronts and i need to fix rears as the pin that locates them is a bit worn. Do GU's have a slightly larger rear disc??

Cheers

Daz

Cheers guys, thanx for the replies. Genuine price was for the rubbers, i nearly fell over in shock.and that was for the outer only.

Cheers

Daz

EDIT: just found this...

Looks pretty good in there. I have similar set-up in mine, but i have petrol motor, and no A/C. Have you got a reservoir somewhere?? You may end up recirculating warm water around if it cant dissipate enough heat.

Cheers

Daz

Hey,

As we all know the GQ/Maverick is getting a bit old, so has anyone replaced the rubbers($600 from Nissan when i last checked).

The metal has rusted fairly badly, and i was thinking of maybe putting a different window in, maybe a Pajero rear, if cheaper for the rubber. Other option is to get ...

Save yourself the hassle and go for a W2A set-up, sure it's more expensive, but will work better, while 4WD'ing.

Cheers

Daz

was thinking about the GU diff conversion, but was advised against it. I just want some GQ EFI 2 pot calipers, so if anyone knows where i can find a pair, i would appreciate it.

Cheers

Hey,

Nice work.... A lot under-estimate the potential of these coolers....

I have one on my turbo petrol powered Mav. I have the Bosch pump and only one fan, and even that's noisy as f%@k.

Do you get much heatsoak sitting over the motor??

Cheers

Daz

Hey,

Looks like a fun project. Did you consider water to air for your intercooler, more efficient than A2A??? There's plenty of room in front of the rad' to fit exchanger. You would be surprised actually how good even the simplest set-up can be.

Is this going to be LPG only engine??? cause there ...

G'day guys, i bought one straight out of the factory that makes them in the USA, i got the upgraded pump/fitting kit/hoses/t-bolt clamps/2nd thermo fan/etc/etc delivered to my door direct for not much more than what the fella on Ebay was wanting for the basic kit. Their address is www.frozenboost ...

Ring Marks4WD, their shit, should be able to help......gotta love the V8 conversions..........NOT.........

FWIW, you'd be better off putting the later model overhead cam motor in, but i would hate to think how much they would be, ford efi motors are plentiful, and reasonably cheap. My economy is roughly 1.5 times better. I have got over 580 kms from my 120 litre tank. I cant complain about the power ...
