Outer Limits 4x4 Board

backpressure is a power and torque restrictor, an exhaust can be too big but thats to do with the gasses cooling too quickly and becoming a restriction I have seen dyno figures to the contrary, XA falcon with a 351 ran with full exhuast then pulled the exhuast off and ran with it straight from the ...

Work has a Silverado, boss drives it everyday to and from work. He recently upgraded to the new model but the old truck was very reliable did a few cross country trips to Perth, Adelaide, Newcastle, Emerald and a few other places towing 4.5tonne caravans without any issues with the motor. Only ...

If you are considering entering any CAMS offroad events you may want a smaller motor, last I knew they limited motor size to 6L which is around 366 cubes

I'm pretty sure we use drivesafe's products (low voltage cutoffs) in the caravans at work and in the 5 years I've been there I can't think of any issues we have had with them, so I can say the reliabilty is great. Will have to look into upgrading to one of those new isolators after christmas.

it did help it a bit but I din't have it for long after I did it

when I did mine I swapped the 2 around. Left the smaller load leaf as it was and cut down the longer one to be a little bit longer than the perch.

does anyone know what size you would need, surely not as heavy as starter motor batt...... I'm actually looking at doing the back batt myself...... :cool: When I get round to doing the setup in mine It will be running 2 B+S cables (pretty much starter cable size) from the main batteries to the rear ...

that would prollie be omega spec seats, base model commodore seats aren't that comfy

Got some "play" tyres and rims, 265/75/16 Cooper STTs on 16x8 GU rims.

just put some 265/75/16 Cooper STTs on GU rims on My Triton fit perfect and no scrubbing

The tyre shops want everyone to go to 16's because they are more expensive. They give the old speal "Its a better fitment from tyre to rim, and handle better in corners" which is total bullshit anyway as its un noticable between the 2 when fully aired. I found that the 16's being an inch smaller in ...

Tyre manufactures say not to mount 35x12.5R15's on a rim, 8.5" is minimum width. I know this doesn't stop people its just the sort of little legal thing that you might get pulled up on or your insurance saying no. The 315/75R16 is suited for a rim width 8-10". So it can be mounted to your 16x8 rims ...

that would be awesome, thanks

what about you plugs and leads? I took it to On Track 4x4 in slacks creek (Logan) and they replaced the fusable links and put new plugs and leads on it my guess is they're new, but as a few has said they are trying to eliminate the obvious and common problem parts next step is if the fuel filter is ...

Installed a Piranah offroad daul Battery tray in the Triton today and as it only fits a smallish battery I moved the starter battery to the new tray and am hoping there is now enough room to be able to fit a decent size deep cycle (hoping N70 size). You can undo the tape on the loom to separate the ...

Thanks should have the tray in this weekend so I'll know the maximum size it will fit

I got an Interstate brand off of our battery supplier. Was $135+gst and is 100amp/hr. Not too sure how they are for quality, supplier told me they haven't had any returns in the 18 months they have been selling them. Ran my ARB 47ltr fridge from when I turned the cruiser off at Tuff Truck, till I ...

its not much of a street car anymore... very thursty on fuel, just over 100kms around town on a tank!! it will be towed to powercruise and drags etc.

you must have a heavy right foot around town

The Maxx will eventually replace the old pattern but at the moment it is an extra pattern untill it is available in more sizes

I believe that's the ST Maxx, and is a separate offering from the original S/T. I think I'm about to buy a set myself. Might be time for a new Tyre Topic? Just looked on the cooper site and it appears that you are correct http://www.coopertires.com.au/index.php?page=tyres&tyre_id=15" onclick ...

Took a couple of pics of the new S/T that I saw at the tyre shop this arv

I heard tubes were illegal? ... Don't make statements you can't back up with FACTS. Key word if you can read was HEARD,something to do with balancing issues and thats why why i worked at a tyre shop we wouldnt recommend tubes :finger: honestly it mustn't have been a very good tyre shop and/or the ...

31s on 10 inch rims, hope you enjoy reseating beads

Would those filters work well on a non turbo petrol engine?

yes

Thanks for the link but the only stuff they do is for the new shape (2006+) triton

The donaldson G2 powercore will be no bigger than your existing filter: http://www.fleetmag.com/images/article/1192644955297_essentials_12.jpg Not cheap though, and pressure drop would be lower again if you fit a barrel style filter. Most modern trucks run 30+ psi boost. Any filter housing from a ...

Does anyone know if there is a company that makes underbody protection for a MK Triton or is it something that will have to be custom made?

There was a thread on here discussing all things filter related. Think it was based on Stock Vs K&n Vs Foam

here it is

according to the Njoy book, which most tyre shops have to see factory sizes and offsets, GU has 3 different offsets for 3 different rim sizes

16 x 8 +10mm
16 x 6 +35mm
16 x 5.5 +15mm
