Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok, come up with a half assed idea that seems to be working, the actuator for the wastegate pushs the lever connected to the wastegate towards the dump pipe, so I put an anchor point on the dumpipe in line with the actualor rod, (exhaust clamp) and then fitted a tension spring to the wastegate arm ...

2.8 diesel had 4.3's, 3lt I think runs the 4.5's, v6 I pulled out had 4.7's, petrol 4 cyl runs 4.8's, hiace had something like 5.1's, cheers

why do you want to lower the boost? I think 12lb is a bit much for the higher compression of the non turbo 2.8? The motor has been fully rebuilt and has 35000kms on it, and I didn't think that much boost would give me the reliability? I will be looking at running a water/air intercooler down the ...

G'day all wise ones, I have just turbo'd my 2.8 hilux, I made my own kit up using a surf manifold with a new IHI RHF5 watercooled turbo from a mazda bravo, all set up and running now but I have too much boost. The boost pressure shows the wastegate opening at right on 10lb then it drops just under ...

yes, it's off a 2008 bravo 2.5l, only a small turbo, but looking up the specs from ihi, the 2.8l diesel looks like it sits right in the middle of it's recommended use, in regards to engine size, I will continue on, thanks fellows

Hi all, I have an ihi rfh5 watercooled turbo I want to fit to my 2.8l hilux, I have a surf manifold and have brought flange plates so I can build an adaptor from manifold to turbo, oil feed lines are done, oil drain line and water lines still need doing along with intake and exhaust piping. Now for ...

just chuck that whole 2.8 turbo in doug, come on, i know you want too, the power, the get up and go,,,,,you know it's the only option

yea, yea is pre ifs, both mine and the housing i want to use are solid axle, just need to know if the diff knuckles from the later solid axle are the same as the diff knuckle on a mid 80 housing? the earlier one has non-vented disks, that the one I want to cut up..

Hi all, I need to build up another diff for my lux and also need to change housing this time, I have a housing from a mid 80's hilux here, can anyone tell me if the bare housing is the same as my 94 model? i'm only concerned with the knuckles on the ends as I plan on welding a cruiser center section ...

G'day all, I want to know, are 60 series axles and cv's compatable with hiluxs? cheers

I come home from work with a fresh look at it again this morning, when I had a look at the screen shot of discoveraus on the pc I had a lon/lat in deg/min/sec format showing as my position, when i tried to edit the position it come up with the edit box showing lon/lat in deg/min/mil, (3 digits after ...

cheers for that, it's only fitted for offroad, and the passenger runs it

G'day all, i'm in need of a bit of help, I am trying to set up a laptop gps system , so far i have a compaq laptop running windows 7, loaded onto that is a 10 year old copy of discoveraus streets and tracks, running for my signal is a bu 353 reciever. After a lot of teething headaches I have it now ...

Hows it go? It's not just a bad boost gauge by any chance? On the under/over fueling, we recently boost tested my fathers boat as it felt a bit lazy off the mark ,it had 15lb of boost on one engine, tickled the fuel up and we had it back to 30lb, off memory we only took it up about 1/4 of a turn, I ...

I'm with yuri, suspension won't mke 35's fit, becuse it still gets pushed up under compression, body lift will help, but the worst problem with the lux is the tyres will hit the bck of the wheel aches when turning, worse if flexing ect, the only wy to fit 35's without rubbing is to move the diff ...

ok,,, I don't understand how extending the bump stops will not limit the flex? At the moment I can flex until one side contacts the bump stop and the other side fully extends the shock? the transfer I was offered is a later model than that, so yes, I would need the top shift conversion if I don't ...

thanks brad, I wanted to steer away from extending the bump stops if i could as it basically only shortens the suspension flex back, I spent enough getting it to flex, don't want to cut it back now, and thats why the high steer went in in the first place, after a day to think a bit I have picked up ...

G'day all, Top place you have here, a wealth of knowledge, I have a wee little problem that someone on here might be able to help me with. My hilux has the steering rod hitting the sump! First up, a bit of background on whats done. It's a LN106: 2" ome springs 2" dropped front crossmember 2 ...
