Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day,

Just curious if that's a sharp edge where the water hoses are passing over the body in the last pic? Bit of door pillar trim would sort that.

Hope the cross-over helps... and it's air tight for you, looks awesome!

Cheers.

I reckon not too bad

Not the best shock out there but time for new ones any way

over 600kw's, even at the flywheel, what sort of ttv8 is in that hilux?

I'm having the exact same issue with my PWR barrel/intercooler system. I'm really keen to solve the issue as well...

I have the newest Bosch pump so as mentioned not worried about the seals.

I have given up bleeding the system because it will always require re-bleeding, generally within a week ...

Hey guys,

Thanks for getting back on track...

I'm still intrigued in the Laminova setup and it bodes well "It's about time I looked at the Yota mainold" (Matt), that you are looking into this further.

I just don't have the equipment or skills to go down the DIY path that you did Zoltan.

Cheers ...

Hey dan,

Do you have kids/are they still young enough not to require the second row foot space? I had a local place fold up a stainless tank (with internal baffles so the dogs -2 60 kg Ridgebacks- can stand on it if the little ones aren't in the car and it has held up well for three years now ...

Can you just confirm for me that the inlet (from the turbo) is on the top of the intercooler body? There is plenty of space between the bonnet and the proposed inlet?

Very interested in how you go with this.

Cheers.

I had noticed an engine and trans on the net in Perth, so for interest sake called and got some prices. The HD-FTE engine $8.5k, and 5spd auto $2.5k seemed good value, this is the combo I would love, given suitable budget.

There is quite a bit more required to make this work in my vehicle, other ...

I'll add my vote for a turboed 1HZ, if set up correctly and properly monitered.

If I suddenly find myself sitting on a "spare" $10k, I'll swap the engine. Doing it in steps certainly helped.

Hey Nic,

Glad you got it sorted.

New panhard bushes fixed my shimmy , after replacing wheel/kingpin bearings, controls arm bushes and tie rod ends. Adjustable panhards were only 7 months old so didn't think they would have been the issue

I'll also put my hand up for that question Matt.

Have wondered about the ability of a larger volume of water to 'help absorb' some of the heat when under load, which can then be 'cooled' when not under load (if that makes sense?).

Cheers, and keep up the great work.

I'm guessing the support is there for a reason. If it's like the cruiser it would be hard to get a drill in there. If the above ideas haven't worked, I'd also try putting a groove in the top of the broken section with the fine cutting blade on a dreml, small flat bladed screwdriver could then ...

Hey Nev, good choice on the shocks, I believe they are worth the extra money.

I changed to the FOX 2.0's from OME. I did quite a bit of research on shocks before making the decision. Valved correctly, they are a fanatstic shock and as mentioned fully rebuildable (if you're goood on the spanners ...

G'day,

Could you extend the mounts from the glow plug rail attachment bolts? (longer bolts with suitably sized spacers). A length of flat alloy/steel with each end folded up to bolt the intercooler to (which then allows the intercooler to 'rest' on the new rail and be located by the end bolts) This ...

I'm pretty sure it's the TTV8. Mate was showing me a couple of sites that list the spec and have some video of the car, interior and driving. Google search should help.

Some markets get basically a STD 200 (like the STD 100 series) with a detuned engine and manual box. Pity not in Oz though...

Cheers.

"dont feed the trolls! "

About 108 on the speedo, 100 on the GPS.

G'day,

Mine sits at about 2300.

Factory ratios, HZJ105 std.

Ross.

Excellent, thanks for that.

Just an extra question, are both the flanges the same for that shaft as 80/105 series diff/transfer? I'm trying to avoid having to get flanges drilled and/or new studs fitted etc.

Cheers,

Ross.

Thanks for the response.

Do you know the model/year at all. I'm sure if I call a wrecker and ask for a hilux front shaft they'll have plenty... They may also look a little blankly at me!

From what I have been reading a rear shaft out of one of the extra/double cab luxs is the easiest to modify ...

Hi all,

I am trying to narrow down the list of donor vehicles for suitable double cardan joints for my 105 series cruiser. I think the rear from an early 90's diesel dual cab hilux will suit?

I have read lots of posts on this, but can't narrow it down to specific vehicles. Mud has a good tech ...

Hey zc351,

I know this thread is pretty old now (sorry about the off track route) but what set up did you decide to go with

Ross.

Hey Z()ltan,

No prob mate, I'm pretty rusty (and no physicist!), but I think it has to do with the whole energy can't be created or destroyed deal. The energy from the exhaust gases from the engine is being used to compress the air going into the engine between each of the turbos blades, exhaust ...

Hi guys,

Thanks for your reply Jonathan, pretty much what I had heard too. Always looking into what makes 1HZ's go bang! The most I have hit so far is 618 degrees going up hill fully loaded on a trip over East (pre turbo temp).

Z()ltan, google is my friend, I just typed: pre post diesel turbo egt ...

G'day Guys,

Just a question for thrashlux, did you say EGT's "POST" turbo were 600 degrees? Giving most agree that the turbo pre/post temp is roughly 200 degree different, does that mean you were running pre turbo temps into the 800's? That's pretty heady engine temps for the 1HZ. Just wanted to ...

G'day,

I think the GT28 is a bush turbo, the GT28R is the ball bearing. I'm running the GT28R on my 105 at the moment.

Garrett have changed the nomenclature on their turbo setups recently to improve turbo ID. This might help:
