Outer Limits 4x4 Board

700hp was referring to the capacity of the turbo and not the minimum acceptable power figure we wanted to attchieve. In saying that it would have had around 600hp at the flywheel. We're in the middle of a rebuild on it at the moment using cp pistons, so we'll be able to push it a bit harder once its...

Here is one of the first dyno runs.

What are your thoughts on the idea?

where are you?

the 100 series pistons aren,t as good as the 80 series pistons (the skirt is shorter and the ring spacings is closer) so yes keep detination under control . and i would have fitted a cometic head gasket aswell as the factory gaskets aren,t that flash with boost . if you are fitting a after market e...

Nice work the mate awesome stuff. How was the start up stink of every thing new getting hot for the first time lol. Do those intake manifolds do much performance wise or just make the intake plumbing a little shorter for a bit less lag. Trying to figure out if its worth investing in one for only a ...

Here is It's first start, I'd embed it if I could figure out how.

Finally got it running today. Only some minor things to do do like wiring the lpg injectors and fitting a tow bar before it's ready for the dyno.

I've taken a start-up vid which I'll post up soon.

It's an System sold by Elko in Melbourne. Here is another car we have done back before it made 800hp with the same system. It's in getting more mods at the moment aiming for around 1000-1200hp

p.s. can anyone tell me how to embed this?

we'll do back to back runs with and without the airbox lid.

Only a week till it has to be ready.

Will be interested to see how it goes. A mate has a 100 solid axle petrol, turbo'd.... Undergoing build number three....or it's four I think actually. Last few rebuilds were due to (1) water ingress snapping a rod and making all sorts of mess/carnage, (2) melted pistons and scored bores, reasons un...

K&N

Parts back from powder coat.

Are you just using stock bottom end? How long will it last? The pistons are the week link so keeping detonation under control is the main aim. We're fitting a knock light so the owner can keep an eye on that. The rods are good to around 800hp so they should be fine. The owner is prepared for a full...

This build is my scene for sure,great work mate. Any more info on the intake and moving the power steering resi etc,I had to move my coil packs for my intercooling pipe. What the boost level plans with the std headgasket ,I'm looking for better valve springs ,are these good for big hp The ps resi i...

Glad to here there are some people that like this build. Here are some more updates.

If this isn't tech I don't know what is. I can delete it if you like?

Made some more progress.

Started a new build at work a couple of weeks ago, thought I'd put up some pics and specs for anyone that's interested. Hoping to have it finished by the end of September 2012.

Was too long ago now so I can't remember. all I know Is I used the factory AFM.

PM replied to.

What AFM issue are you referring to? It still had plenty of resolution left at 15psi.

I don't want to open a can of worms but I'd prefer a front mount full of mud than a top mount, you might as well call a top mount an interheater rather than intercooler. How often do you find yourself in the situation in that picture? I find I vary rarely need much power in the bush(only mud really)...

it would only do 10 psi on the dyno, but on the road it got to 15. I fitted the turbo with 200,000k's and sold it with 250 000. motor still ran great when I sold it. hope this helps. hopefully turbo a 4.8 soon.

Car is for sale if anyone is interested. - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290602783165 ... 1555.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have a 2007 gu 4.8 now so I'll start another thread if I decide to do it all again.

Just looked at their website and the tb48 kit doesn't have an intercooler in the picture? I ran 330rwhp and 15psi on my tb45 for 60 000km's(200-260) and didn't have any issues. I think the weak rods issue has to be the tune because in theory I should have thrown a rod in that time. I agree with nort...

if you don't want genuine, most engine reconditioners keep them it stock or you can have yours machined.
