what boost controller are you running, is it just a std needle valve one or an electronic one.

Re: 2H and 12HT diferences

I once did exactly what you are talking about, was tossing up between rebuilding the existing turbo 2H, or dropping in the 12ht.

I went the 12ht and never looked back.

I had been thinking about doing the same thing with mine,

What are you using to regulate the low pressure air.

I was thinking about only putting about 10kPa, that will keep the water out down to about 1m under water.

Re: how do i turn air con in to endless air compresser

What vehicle does a Sanden SD505 come out of as I am looking for one for a air system.

Before anyone asks, I need either the SD505 or the SD5H09 due to the fact that they are only about 160 mm in length.

Re: 4.2 Injector pump for Big HP

Wouldn't a Direct injection also require custom pistons, as doesn't it need a swirl pot incorporated into them.

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought there was a fair bit of thought that actually goes into the swirl pot design as opposed to just sticking a hole in the top of the piston.

I had the same issue once, turned out to be a stuffed pinion bearing in the diff was putting a whole heap of vibration down the shaft and vibrating the studs loose. Once they became loose they sheared off quite quickly.

Re: XC Barina Tappets

The fact that your problem does not happen when cold or at high revs when hot is pretty much a dead giveaway to low oil pressure. May need a new oil pump.

I had been thinking the same thing, could even be a sticky oil pressure regulator. As I agree that would explain the symptoms. Shouldn't the ...

Re: Snorkel flow rates

slight mistake there, you have 40mm of h20, Hg is mercury and I am pretty sure that looks like water in the tube.

1mm of water is worth less than 0.1mm of mercury.

I am very impressed that someone else has actually taken a measurement, I hadn't gotten around to doing the same thing.

Is it possible to get the ABS working if the SAS is done, obviously wheel speed sensors will have to be used some how.

What about using a patrol diff up front, they run ABS and are part time 4x4?

Don't shoot me down anyone, just thinking out loud as I am wondering which way to go too.
