Re: 1993 - 80series manual locking hub conversion Q?
Different splines on cv end I think ifs is 27 and 80 series are 30. Easy way to find out, if he has a cv lying round take a drive flange and see if it fit.

Re: Radiator upgrades
Increasing the Frontal surface area is always the best solution, but a 4 row cooler is still better than a 3 row cooler, it is a diminishing return as you suggest, but it still increases the air to copper surface area. The air exiting the radiator rarely reaches 60 degrees and even if its at ...

Re: Radiator upgrades

The reason most people put aftermarket alloy radiators in is for bling, or because they think it will be better than the copper core oem, but they are usually wrong. I would look ...

Re: Welding advice
The advantage of the jaycar 10amp to 15amp block, is that it has a 10amp breaker in the block. So if you trip it, you walk 2 metres and reset it. If you use a 10amp plug on your 15amp welder, or file the earth pin(this is what ive done lol), you _may_ trip the house breaker, and then its usually a ...

Re: top mount intercooler
The temperature isn't there to begin with. Water cools far better. The WTA post intercooler intake air temperature is the same temperature (with in a few degrees) of the water leaving the intercooler. This is with a good intercooler, this is not the case with some WTA units out there. Post air temp ...

Re: top mount intercooler
A core near twice as thick has far more restriction. The louvers design plays a part aswell. And the WTA is dumping far less heat = less stress on engines cooling system. This difference may not be as great above 80kph (maximum efficiency). But slower speeds with more load (load, slow in soft sand ...

Re: top mount intercooler
Actually no they don't. The WTA radiator is thinner with thermals - far less air drag. Then measure the air temps from the back of both (the air temp that's entering the engine radiator). The water is only 10-15' above ambient, so the air temp from the back of that rad is only going to be the same ...

A w2a intercooler still has a radiator in front, and is still dumping the same amount of heat there.

Re: HDj100 high pressure noise
The hose from intercooler up to the intake has popped off mine once, it has no power when it did!
Remove and check the condition of the two intercooler hoses. Sounds like one is split or something.
then fit a boost guage and you will know for cetain. Should hit about 15psi at max boost.
