Re: external vs internal wastegates?

True. Currently it has an aftermarket turbo and no wastegate at all... The boost is insane and all, it goes great but I want my motor to last... I can't control it yet as it doesn't have a wastegate, unless I go easy on the pedal which defeats the purpose of putting a turbo on the old girl... Just g...

external vs internal wastegates?

Re: Vibrations when engine braking

maybe also try wheel bearings aswell... I know they have semi floating hubs and they are different to landcruisers but it maybe something you can rule out... Both a mate and i have had this vibration through our cruisers and weve replaced uni's and checked our pinion shaft bearings and that but yeah...

Re: 2h turbo help

by memory i think the patrol turbo is a variable vein turbo and you are right, too much for a cheap old 2h. The ct26 is easily accessable for me but im after a happy medium for instance i would like the turbo to help me out for low down torque but at the same time ill be doin a bit of beach driving ...

2h turbo help

Hey guys, i was just wanting to know what turbo will best suit my 2h. One mate says a ct26 off a 12ht and another mate says that a 2h hasnt got enough exhaust flow for a ct26 and he recommends a turbo off a 3 litre GU patrol would be better... Im stumped guys so any input would be much appreciated.....

Re: Will Engels work on 24v ?

try opening the plug that goes into the lichter socket... There should be a fuse in there, it should read either 12v ** A or 240v **A. I recommend replacing it with a 240v fuse or anything bigger if it is only 12 volts... Thats just a start, i had this query once myself and i kept going through fuse...
