Outer Limits 4x4 Board

The guy who makes them is Bruce Robinson.

His email address is listed on my website http://www.grungle.com/airboxlid.html (its down the bottom of the page).

Yea, id be really interested in a GU pod that houses the VDO gauges without spacers etc... It can be done. I went to a few hose places and found a right angled stainless fitting (bend) and ground some of the bend away. Fitted one end to the guage with locktight thread sealer and fitted a nitto 6mm ...

I did a group buy for our 4WD club and still have a few left - 12 I think. They are the Autron dual 52mm pod for GU (all series) in unpainted finish. Selling for $100 freighted to your door anywhere in Australia. Send me an email via my website www.grungle.com if interested. I am not willing to get ...

If its a 03 4.2 then it is already turboed mate.

Find someone closeby with a 4.2 and invite them over for a few beers and a Q&A session.

Buy a ground plane independant antenna and mount on the guard, bullbar or wheel carrier. Then no need to drill the roof.

Well done. Bloody ripper! Reckon that this should go into the bible section... why? people will still ask the queston every week. Dude, Yes I know, and you can answer to those weekly questions with a one-liner reply. I was just being polite (as some peeps rarely do these days) and showing my thanks ...

I've just redone my endless air install but did a writeup on it this time to converge everything into one document (instead of trawling the net). Its for a Patrol TD42T but tells you how to do the mods to the compressor. Go to -> http://www.mcs.net.au/~grungle/endlessair.html if interested. Regards ...

Could be a venting issue in the main tank. Only way to equalise the pressure is by sucking fuel from the subtank.

G'day all just bought a 98 GU patrol its got an after market ATX turbo DX model and the sub tank light is always on. now ive been told to disconnect the battery and that works but it comes back on. now i also have been told i probably was affected when i had an alarm put on it. my question is how ...

cool! i just bought a 98 gu aswell and i have the oppisite prob, im trying to run only the main tank to see how many k,s i can get and it wont work the subtank seems to be draining into the main tank somehow! :?: The subtank will pump a small amount of fuel (not sure exactly how much but a litre or ...

I started a website for installation tips for accessories. Have alook at http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/~gru ... hower.html to see if there is something of help.

If you want boost higher than 13 PSI then you will have to remove the Safety Valve above the intake manifold and blank it off. Otherwise you will be bleeding your compressed air off which will defeat the whole purpose of getting more power/torque. Bunnings sell 1" bungs (Gal or brass) for a couple ...

Dave I replied to your email. Unfortunately as I said it won't work on a Patrol. Initially these were designed for the Paj IFS but we discovered that it will suit a lot of other IFS rigs including some live axle trucks. Basically it works on a swaybar that has a straight section between the two ...

I have a set of 4.88's F&R (ring and pinion only) for sale if interested.

It is the boost spiking up to 13psi and then factory setup over boost protection valve (round valve in side of chamber) dumps excess boost and will not let it go over 13psi. I had same thing running a GFB controller. They are shit in my opinion and allow the system to spike. I backed the boost back ...

I have a TD42T with a Go Fats Bits boost control valve set at 12.5 PSI (fitted for 2 weeks). When we went camping over the weekend towing a 1500kg camper, there was a pssshhht sound when giving it a bootful up a hill. There was no loss of boost (according to the guage) or power so I haven't done a ...

Hi

I have done up (modifed a yank chart) a rpm table to work out ideal rpm for given situations. Change the items in blue to what you have/want. I found out what the standard runs and tried different combos until I got close.

Count me in on the bigger pics as well.

Transfer gears are the way to go. 2nd gear low range down steep hills and she will just idle down. Cost works out better as well. Marks gearmasters (try for a show special) $1250 and you can fit yourself in a day. Ratio's from GJ around $1200 and you need to spend around $500 + to get them fitted ...

There is a guy in Maroochydore that fits Mack turbo's to little Mazda rotary engines (company is Mazquick). He modifies one side (intake or exhaust - not sure which) and gets HHHUUUGGGEEE gains (calls it his Mack hybrid). When I looked under the bonnet it was like it had 2 engines as the turbo was ...

As said above. I have a GU H233 rear diff and want to put 4.11's in from a GQ coil cab ute. Can I or Can't I?

Regards
David

Mine did the same. Fan worked fine when connected to 12V. There is a temp sensor on the front of the intercooler. This switches the fan on through the ECU. I toyed with disconnecting the fan and running through a switch on the dash but then I did a conversion.

In every case I have heard it is via a piggyback computer - I have never heard of anyone doing any mods to the pumps or injectors for increased fuel flow - I have on the GQ 2.8 which is mechanical but not the GU.

Regards
David

It is probably a plug he has disconnected on top front of the head which is for tacho (2 wire jobby). I have just had to trace mine after a conversion - pretty easy if you know where the sensor is.

Thats a great read. Should have mine adjusted with the 285's and 4.88's and see what figures I get then I already have a gated boost control valve so I should just be paying for the tune and dyno. Got me beat why Motson's change the fuel aneroid if you got away with yours standard and still got ...

Anyone had the above done at Motson's (Fuel, aneroid, exhaust, dyno)? In SE Qld, who would people recommend to do the tuning, fuel/boost on a TD42T? Who has done this mod and are they happy or would do differently? Would people recommend driving interstate to have it done by Berrima or Binskins etc ...

I rang up today to price changing my 4.88's to 4.11's and they want $400 each end ($800) to swap and that is without new bearings Changing the crownwheel is simple as it is just a few bolts. You will need a bearing puller for the pinion which MAY stuff your bearings (that is why they always quote ...

Upping boost only on the GU 2.8 does nothing. Factory is 11.5 PSi and I upped it to 18 and you could not notice a thing - a bag of ice on the intercooler does more. Also has a 3" mandrel bent straight through exhaust with no muffler fitted and I think I lost some low down torque (not much but enough ...

Really most of these companies in question are only getting coils,shocks etc etc from some other company anyway and rebadging so what is the big deal. Prolly put your own kit together and save some coin in the mean time. five link is slightly different I guess but manells just copied or bought and ...
