Outer Limits 4x4 Board

What range do you have with ride heights and coil rates?

Oh and you might already know but in case you don`t you might have to re spring the car too.
You can get away with running a softer coil with stronger shocks and pick up better ride comfort without bodyroll or coilbind.
Make sure you use Kings or elbach as other springs dont work as well with some ...

For sure.
Alot more trucks would get a better result from shocks if the owners checked a few things first before just ordering shocks with a cool sticker on them. I would just use just a certified weigh bridge and weigh fromt and rear in that case.
You should be able to look that up on the net ...

You could try Xtreme motorsports or if you talk to any off road racing or speed way guys most shoud have pads for each wheel.
You can`t sort of lend these things as any damage is bad and sometimes hard to pick up in inconsistant readings.
Not alot of advantage on a road driver anyway as most are ...

X2 The sound is awsome.Have a listen to a healthy class 1 buggy with a 8 into 1 .Sweet music!!









ote="MikeH"]I keep looking at it, that thing is bloody awesome.
Needs a big obnoxious wing.
will your engineer let you do an 8 into 1 overhead extractor setup?[/quote]

Yep Greenie(has a tb48 stroked to a 5.1 turboed)and it broke every other thing in it`s drive train but the transfer.Cory has been running a built 6lt with a 3.5 lt charger through a manual and we`ve raced these cars for years and never broke a transfer.I only have seen one break and it was due to a ...

You could call Brent from wizard performance he has some good kits with fox and is happy to talk to you about what you are chasing.
If you can`t find his number send me a pm.As mentioned in other posts there are some good setups already and because you are restricted anyway by your class it`s as ...

Haven`t tryed to fit a 3.0 in factory bracket.

Mate your best bet is to talk to one or a couple of the shock builders and you will need to have,Cornerweights,travel,ridehight and where you want the internal bump to start.This alone will disreguard the need for hydrolic bumps as a shock built right should do that anyway.Alot of shocks that are ...

I`ve had a go with some 2.0 king piggy backs but under full compression didn`t have any luck room wise.Remotes could fit but you really won`t see the benifit from the byes.Go a set of 2.0 smoothies on rear and a set of 3.0 smoothies on front.I`ve found it the simplest and cheapest way to get better ...

It still comes down to a (smarter turbo) if you are chasing 300hp at wheels.Mabey twin turbo or a variable vein turbo.Thats the key..

These types of posts are easily taken the wrong way and generally are!
There is no need for people who spend the money and time on performance motors to have the information pulled to bits on a website!

HA HA HA.Maby you could just go the turbo boost like knight rider!
Max power here we come!

yep no probs give me a couple of days I`ll get back to you..

Yep you are all over it standard 4.8 vis fan is the best for front mount radiator.I`ve got a alloy shroud you could copy if you want.I don`t want to sell it though I have a job for it.

All set Digs,Well alot to do but very achievable.
5 weeks to go,BOOM!

Yep too easy mate.

Oh just double check your bore size, I got a motor that had flat top forge pistons and rods on a turbo`d motor (go figure) and they were too small for the bore on standard 4.8.It piston rattaled like a mofo and, Ahhhhh, I wont go into it but it was supposed to be a rad motor that ...

Just rered your post.

What style of piston have you bought ? Standard or other?

No big problems with it mate other than the adjuster is oil pressure fed and dosen`t apply enough pressure when you back off or when your on it, with bigger camms for that matter more pressure on the chain is the key.

Yes the oil pump drive has to be replaced with a billit one we have got a couple ...

Sandy bowman I believe ran one think it had a stroker kit but I`m not sure.
Think he has a 6ltr now but I`m sure he`d have some r and d for you.The problem is by the time you`ve done head work,valves and springs,camms,sort out the timing chain chatter issue(because of camms)and time and labor a ase ...

Wow !What a crazy couple off weeks!Big thanks to Jamie first of all, not only did we leave too many jobs to do out there the late nights and early COLD starts were insane.Thanks to Swaff,Josh,Dan and Jc for pitting alongside Stevo who was awsome the dude was gutterd by his own defeat by the 2kg ...

Mabey a 4l8o? they handle pushing a 2500 chev along all day with a 454 . With the right cooling can`t see why the wouldn`t push a patrol ok.I know they have a huge toque converter and manualized are the closest thing to the turbo 400 with another gear.Must also say that the big bellhousing gu 4 ...

Mosko If your stuck mate I`m sure we can take fuel round to finke for you if you want mate. You wont probably need anyone at finke itself then you could roll a swag out with us if it helps.

Companys like eldenbrock do a vally fed injection that sits on top like a carby might be worth a look.Jamie who navis for me has one on a 350 in his gq and finds it exellent.But I aggree whith the other guys you can just get better tecnolagy too cheaply to bother with shuch a old motor.Especially ...

Yup we are using the Dodge viper pressure plate arrangment and it works well .It`s even nice and smooth to use, much better than the old brass button setups.

Hey thanks Col,How have you been ? theres a short vid on you tube I think through Digs and josh under offroad cartel! I`ll help the boys get some shots on the weekend and do a last skid before we go.Days just fly by now hope we don`t forget anything...

Apparently they run ok,strong sidewall and stuff.Definatly not a edge thing though mate. I don`t worry so much about tred so long as they are round and don`t go flat.To tell the truth they were about the only option because I didn`t organize myself early! time will tell I spose they were at the ...

Wow what a week! Things are starting to come together and typicle me lots to do last thing.Fairly happy with the truck at this stage mainly got some work to do on the road transport side of things.(oh and work, this sux but anyhoo)At this stage we are hoping to leave next wednsday.main changes to ...

Mate as far as I know the 4.8 manual out of the later gu`s are the toughest and also have a nice close ratio for good changes.Td 42`s arn`t any slouch though by any means and if you could get a low k one that would easly handle ls1 for sure.The drama with 5th gear was only with early gu boxs and was ...

Hey Barb you should give the old q out for a run.There sounds like there could be a few sootys out there next year!!I know swaffs keen and a certain toowoomba crew are keen for a run too.Black smoke in the desert, I`ts got to happen.I recon that digs could have the wild card though watch out for ...
