Outer Limits 4x4 Board

your right there bogged. but why cant i factor in all the accessories i'm going to add in the next 12 + months, and set up the suspension to factor that all in?? the exhaust i'm expecting to give me a little, i know its not going to be massive...but mid range i should get a bit more...then i'll be ...

maybe a 2.8 diesel

a mate of mine did waste his $$ doing all those mods u mentioned and its still only pushbike fast

check out the patrol forum for proof

One thing I forgot to mention was...we tow heavy loads...something the 4.5 just couldnt do...well...well and truely did it the worst...worse than a EF falcon!

yeah yeah it can sit on a 100 km/h...but anything other than a flat road and they struggle big time.

No mate...actually a GU 4.2TD driver at the moment!

Had many 80 series, GU 4.5 and a 100 series between the old man and i...and we BOTH agree that the GU 4.5 is a bag of sh1t...we couldnt have sold it quick enough. 80 series 4.5 is a much much better car!

Hi All, is it possible to just change the dump pipe on a GU TD6 and leave the remainder of the standard system on?? is it worth doing it, or just wait till i do the whole system? just that the standard dump pipe looks very restrictive. I was going to do the whole system at once, but i'm doing the ...

They are the most gutless 4wd I've been in. I wouldnt go anywhere near one with a 4.5...could walk faster. And they were on petrol...

get the edit...WELL worth it mate...

your only a quarter of the way there without the edit...its amazing how out of tune they are out of the factory..

opps...i didnt see he was from denmark

that lack of low down power u refer to from the LS1 (I own a VX SS) disappears once u fit a proper set of headers and exhaust - try y's if your after better low down, or 4 into 1s if your after better top end and its got heaps down low. LS1 edit and your pushing roughly 225 at the wheels / 300kw at ...

what setup are u running to struggle towing a 1500kg camper? they are great at towing big weights...

tow 2t and a mate tows 3t and the 4.2 does it easy..some others had the 3lt...and bang...bang

how do u figure that...

$935 + $25 = $960 vrs a MAX of $700 (incl dump pipe) = a saving to me of at least $260...i know which pocket i'd rather have it in

the $260 saving would pretty much pay for the tune / dyno

havent got the 3inch done on the GU, but i got told around the $700 mark incl dump pipe.

his done a lot of performance systems on maaany cars, and on my previous commodores and hsv's..

plenty of joints in melb who can do mandrel bending...the one i go to have been doing it on my cars for at least 10 yrs!

thanks.

why did u buy the dump as opposed to getting the place that did your 3inch to do it?

im not yet sold / convinced on the gas idea...but each to their own...yes they do make good power...but

i'll wait 5yrs...and see if there are any adverse effects first..no doubt reported on forums like this

yep, i'm aware that i need to do the dump as well as the exhaust...then in for a dyno / tune.

i was referring to the 3inch beuaexhaust for $1400!!

i was thinking about getting my local guy to do the 3inch exhaust and getting the tune done by the experts. ive never had an issue with these guys and always been happy with there exhausts in the past. is this what you did? i just reckon there is some coin to be saved doing it this way - i know the ...

thanks, i just found that site.

qn...how do they differ and are they any better than your "good" local exhaust place could make up to suit?

have u got a link or any more info on that exhaust?

thanks.

mmmmm very interesting!! i'll be sending u a pm...

wanna elaborate bogged??

thats a pretty decent gain there ddr!!

who did u take it to?

Hi guys, Can anyone who has one, or has a mate with one let me know what you / they have done to get a bit more go out of them.. I was thinking a 3 inch exhaust, some pump mods, bit more boost and dynoed should do it….is this about right? Anyone know what sorta gains I'd get from this? Also, who s ...

my price for the same type of stuff is $1000.
cheers

its not pedders though is it?

I too am in a similar boat...I currently have pedders gear in the rear and cant fault it...nice firm but comfortable ride, and it can take a load. The front does need changing and based on the prices I've been given I'm actually better off changing the whole lot as it seems more cost effective ...
