Remember the Holden sensors are the same as the ones specified to use with the Megasquirt, after all they are GM. For my Megasquirt I used 2 Holden V6 coolant sensors, one for the coolant temp, one for the air temp (cut off the metal sensor cover). If you could find someone with the Kalmaker softwar...

600 Holley is too big for a 3.5 I tried one on my 4.4 and it was still too big. You can get restrictors for the throats which in effect makes it around 500cfm which was just right for my 4.4, however in the end I gave up tuning the Holley and fitted a Carter AFB which is a 625cfm but they have a dif...

You probably could change the lever but it might be easier to get the switch and other bits for the electronic 4x4 engagement. My BJ74 has the electronic, so I am assuming it's just a matter of adding the harness and switch. I take it the gearbox you transplanted is a 4 speed with an overdrive. If n...

Check for an LSD sticker on the diff housing. Failing that, jack up the rear end, put it in neutral and turn one wheel. The other wheel should turn in the same direction. If it does, it's an LSD, if it turns the opposite direction, it's an open centre. If it's an LSD then it sounds like it needs reb...

Having a lower exhaust gas temperature in a diesel has no effect on the heat generated by the air being compressed in the manifold.

Ahhh, now I see, it's all clear now. I had thought the compressor from the small turbo was going to the exhaust turbine of the larger turbo, but now I can see how you can get the adding of boost.

This is the whole idea of running ttwo turbos, it increases the amount of airflow a lot more, and has very little lag with it. Yes, thats right, more airflow, NOT boost. Unless the boosted air from the first smaller turbo is going into the motor (which it isn't, it's just driving the bigger turbo) ...

Re: My twin turbo experiment = 46psi

The original still pumps out 18 psi, the larger one goes to 20 -30 psi, combined figure of 46psi. I might be wrong here and feel free to correct me, but it won't matter how much boost the original turbo is producing, the end result at the motor you say, (from the larger turbo) is 20-30psi, so you a...

I just recently bought a '86 BJ74 with the 13-BT and would be interested in hearing from others with the same. I bought it in Perth and drove it all the way back here to the NT and it performed extremely well.

I'm not confusing myself at all. An engines 'angle' is the measurement in degrees between each crank pin (4 in a v8) Each crank pin is at a 90 degrees angle from the previous, so that viewed from the end the crankshaft it forms a cross. You say the Windsor is a 60 degree v8 and the Cleveland is 90. ...
