Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Paul is now working in with a mechanic on the Gold Coast (south coast autocare). They are doing all mechanical repairs and custom builds apparently. There in Ashmore. Sorry don't have the number. Google may know this.

X2. Is this made specificly for a particular model??

Just ordered a turbo and bits and pieces for my old mav. It's got 370 oookms on it and I'm thinking about pulling it out and giving it a freshen up before I try and throw decent amounts of boost at it.

Any thoughts or guys who have rebuilt there motors as to a ruff idea on cost. I saw on eBay ...

The last truck I built up had same position although I went in at the back of the guard.
Was trying to keep it up out of the way by going down the front of the pillar and into top corner of bonnet. Haven't cut any wholes yet but.

As much as I would love to throw bulk coin at my mav the truth is I just can't afford it. How much do they hit you for the td05. I spoke to the guys at diesel central and he said I was looking at around $2800 just for the turbo. As I don't doubt you get what you pay for it just gets out of control ...

Hey all,

Trying to decide on a turbo for my TD42 Mav.

At the moment its a N/A old banger. Im looking at doing a basic set up on a budget with the hope to add things later (Intercooler, pump, inlet manifold).

Looking at a high mount manifold with either the Garrett GTX 2860 or maybe the GTX2863 ...

I figured department of transport would be the issue.
Thats why I asked has anyone had any problems with the coppers or department of transport.
Seems out of all the highly opinionated forum members no one has any input.

Where do you get a td42 crate engine??
New engine??
How much???

Hey all,

Looking at making myself a 4" alley snorkle on my GQ patrol. Was going to place it down the front of the A pillar towards the windscreen. Basicaly the same thing as Patrol Docta have done. Cutting in thru the bonnet.

My question is has anyone got any info as to wether our friendly boys in ...

Dam iPhone auto correct. Ment to say flexy flares.

I got aftermarket flextime flares. I wonder if a rear quarter chop would help with that cause I think the rears would be pretty hard to trim out as the wheel tub on the inside and the outer skin are joined on that lip of the guard

Yeah. I got neg 20 offset alloys on mine. What about the rear? Did it chew the flares off??

Hey all,
I'm sure this topic has probably been covered at some stage but I find the search function sux and takes way to long.

I'm in the process of building up a GQ wagon. 4" lift and no cab lift.

Question is what size tyres are people running and are guards needing to be trimmed much???

I'm ...

I don't know how to Put up links cause I'm a bit of a spaz. But I've seen on eBay full belt and radiator hose kits for decent prices from people like terrain tamer at decent prices.

Yeah. Fair call. I don't really drive it at the moment. Have just bought it cheap as a project and am waiting for more funds until I get it on the road. I will Probly get in dyno tuned as soon as I get a chance.

na man. non turbo at the moment. hope to get a turbo and a few bits and pieces happening in the near future.

Found adjustment screw on top back corner of pump. Gave it half a turn and had to turn back the idle a bit. It seems to be going heaps better now.

Dont mean to confuse you after the last reply but I did mine. Only because there was a bit of wear. it didnt cost much from memory and it gives you a bit of piece of mind when your giving it a hard time down the track.

So what's the one on top at the back. On top of what Im pretty sure are the fuel lines? Looks a bit like grub screw in the middle of it?

Is this on the top towards the back? The one with the grub screw looking set up with the flat headed screw driver fitting in the top of it??

hey all I know there is some info and pics on her somewhere about fuel adjustment for the 4.2 diesel but for the life of me the search feature wouldnt work.
Can anyone give me some tips about giving my mav a little more fuel or some links to find what I need would be a great help.
Thanks

Sounds like the go. I'm just thinking about guards and maybe bonnet. It will still be a full bodied registered wagon used for touring and weekend wheeling. The buildup will take a while as just doin it as funds allow.

I've looked at there sight mate. They didn't have prices. Do u know what they were worth and how did u find them for strength?? Did u use Kevlar or glass??

I just bought a 93 mav. They are the same car mate. Apart from a couple of badges and minor bits of trim like the centre cap on steering wheel. How much are you looking at paying for it??

Hey all.
I'm in the process of rebuilding an old banger mav/gq that I bought. I'm going to paint it and am thinking about new guards and bonnet.
Is anyone running Kevlar or fiberglass and what do u think of them. Looking at the weight reduction and also they don't rust.
Are they very robust? And ...

Just had extractors and 2.5" exhaust fitted this week. The old exhaust must have been stuffed cause it's going heaps better now. Am getting the gas serviced and tuned this week so will run a tank thru it and see what I get this time around. I'm hoping for an improvement.

I have direct injection gas system on my auto. I get between 350 -390kms out of my 90L gas tank. Not sure how that works out at litres per hundred.
Have 70L fuel tank and i think I get about 300kms out of that. :oops: I think. My wife drives it most the time. I just get the fuel bill. :shock:

It ...

I'm heading out either Sunday or Monday to watch the comp and have a few questions....

Do you know if Helen and Alben are doing any speacial deals for spectators for the week stay or if its just the normal $45 a night (if thats still the normal price)per car??

Is the catering going to be there all ...

Yeah the filter came off easy as.
After reading about the trouble people are having with rods coming out the side of the block and auto's dieing after they have spent a small fortune with a turbo install I dont think I will be going down that track.
I think I will do a few cheap mods to make the ...

I used the mother in laws wok burner on her bbq to melt the factory paper filter off the lid for the air box.

So between the new air filter and cleaning the cat out it has made a small difference and a help in fuel economy so far. Not massive but the difference was noticed. I think the 13 year old ...
