Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have a 2h currently running a T04e turbo and it does not start making boost until 2500rpm = no good! what else will fit the manifold i have, which has a T04 flange?

took the back off the fuel pump to discover a very rooted rubber diaphram. it was split so now hopefully that is all that the problem is.

2h started blowing a bit of white smoke in the mornings then about a month later the idle crept up to 2000 and i andjusted the idle stop screw on the butterfly to slow it down a bit to get home. the next day it reved 1500 on idle and thick black smoke. mechanic suggested injectors, done that still ...

[quote][/quote]i get around 550kms to a full tank. not sure how big the tank is, just standard. and i have a turbo and have not touched the fuel pump

2h deisel blows tonnes of white smoke on start up and dies down after a few laps around the block,
but still puffs a little bit of white smoke periodicly after its warmed up.

if its mainly going off road go the 37's. that many holes have been chewed out by 35's now you need bigger tyres. there is a GU in last months 4x4 action magazine with 37's and only has 65mm of lift and running hydrulic bump stops.

hey trev1 i just turboed a 2h and it is sweet, got a manifold from ROTAMASTER in melbourne, used a t60 turbo rated at 550hp, put the snorkle on the left hand side, ran a oil feed from the block and an oil return straight down to the sump. the only tricky bit was the dump pipe, i used one of a rb30 ...

on ebay i found Insa Turbo brand tyres and one of their patterns is very similar, i like!
has anyone got these on their 4wd?

have a look at chev 2500 dual cabs, a bit bigger than a standard 4x4 but they make mince meat of 5-6 tonne loads. a 2003 or later are great tow veichles and about the same price as a v8 cruiser. look up VICTORIA AMERICA IMPORTS in vic. and they also have allison auto transmission TUFF AS !!!

get a gq with either a 3.0 or a 4.2 Both turbo charge easy as. I know three people running standard rb30 motors with turbos on them and they run great. one of them got the motor re-built as a turbo motor and that thing runs 25psi all day. lift kits, motors and spares in general will be cheaper ...

can a transmission oil cooler be used as a engine oil cooler?

Any good clues about the bigger valves in the heads?? I posted about this a while ago and didn't really get any good ideas about how to go about the job. I realise that I'll have to buy new valves and seats, but which ones, and how big can you go? I'm looking at a 2H also, rather than the 12H-T, if ...

after looking around for ages i found a place that can get a turbo manifold at a reasonable price. Rota-master in somerton, melbourne. they can get turbo manifolds for lots of things and are great to deal with. mine was $495.00. pretty good seeing how AXT wanted $3300 for a kit.

$435 on ebay for a brand new 2h alternater. i think toyota coasters have the same engine but not sure

has anyone out there got one of these cheap winches from ebay? one on there is 20, 000lb! whats with that?! i'm just a bit sus because they are so cheap

my mate put a kit from ARB on his 1hz with 250,000kms on it about 18months ago. not a single problem. 3months ago changed the recomended turbo ARB supplied to a T04-z and a top mount intercooler. running 13psi and it loves it. it now has 290,000kms on the clock.

amazingly bazzle it only got a tank full of water. got told that at low revs sometimes you can ass it and do no damage. runs ok now, no rattles or smoke. still got a lot to do thou. striped interior, all driveline oil, and a few mods for insurance next time

yeah sure do! spring over 75 came to the rescue

i had a similar problem on my hj60. i froze the sucker with propane but FFSake do it in a well ventilated area.

yes bazzle the list does go on. all driveline oil was turned to cream as was the powersteer fluid. amazingly none got in the engine but it is getting new oil aswell. i think the brake fluid was spared but time will tell. lost dash clock, demister switch does not illuminate, alternater is dead ...

cheers mate

drowned my hj60 2h in a river crossing, up to the windscreen for 8 hours. got the water out of the cylinders and tow started it and drove home but very spluttery and tonnes of white exhaust. drained the tank and fuel system and put 40 liters in and drove for about 50kms but still spluttery like a ...

http://www.ih8mud.com has heaps of good information, step by step instructions too. you would be looking at 6" - 8" of lift (height of axle and thickness of leaves) so is big increase. good if going up several tyre sizes. ps. others have said can get as little as 3" - 4", not sure how though? big ...

rimula x 15w-40

just checked out lift blocks for my hj60 and it seems there are two options. alloy blocks or polyethlene blocks. also there are 1,2 and 3 inch versions. which one should i get?

replaced a voltage regulator in a hj60 deisel. at idle it is making 14volts and by the time it gets to 2000rpm it is making 16volts. any chance the voltage regulator i was supplied is 24v ?

cheers boys

hj60 2h diesel will not glow the plugs. battery is in good cond only about 3 months old and replaced a voltage regulator at that time. now when i turn the key the 'GLOW' light on the dash barely flicks on for a split second if at all about 2 out of 10 turns i get a slight flick off light from the ...

cheers shadow, i cleaned up the terminals between the switch and circuit connections with a bit of 2000 wet & dry and bingo, we have light!

check the alloy tray is not loose. mine shook loose and stuffed the mounting brackets.
