Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all, now that were coming into winter my glow plugs are taking at least ten key turns to get going. This has only happened since the addition of the turbo. A mechanic told me that i could of fried them due to the extra heat the turbo produces... I found that to be a little :?: and to use GU glow ...

..got a set of twin pistons and rotors of a later model tb42 and bolted them to my 89 TD42... It made a difference... pulls up alot harder... beware.... changing them was easy... bleeding them correctly took hours....

^^^^^^ and at the same time

there just generally shit cars i guess.. mine did 2 diffs a gear box and multiple electronic problems including lights staying on when the keys aren't in the car and the switch is off.. hazards randomly coming on a fuel cut problems that caused the car to literally bounce down the road... the blue ...

did you reseal the bolts onthe elbow or on the compressor housing at all?

beautiful, thanks mate when i get her back from the exhaust shop ill give it a go hopefully its jsut that and not shagged seals... it has no shaft play so i was hoping it was just blowby... may have to run a cach can myself then... Cheers for that....

it kinda gathers around at the bottom bolt of the turbo that holds the waste gate to the turbo then drips to the bottom of the turbo

thats exactly what its doing a small drop looks like its coming out of the bolt.. U mean u diconnected the crank case breather hose?

hey all i have noticed a small oil leak from my HT18 turbo on the compressor side.. it seems to form a small drop on the underside of the turbo and i have determined that its leaking from the join in the turbo that the elbow comes from to feed over into the motor Could this be shagged front seal or ...

ok thanks for the info mate...

i have a 5 to 6 inch lift as it is on measuring due to the lack of weight in my vehicle... but the shocks im using are shagged... with a lift this size can i use the 45mm adjustable shock off your website in the rear and front of my vehicle?

Cheers

Hey all, im just wondering if anyone out there knows if the snake drop arms for 5 and 6 inch lift kits are the same thing. There is no difference in price on there website, i currently run a 5 inch lift kit but the oppertunity to get my hands on some 6 inch coils for nothing has come up... And if ...

WOW... ok so my pyro probe is right on the point where air travels into the turbo.. so i can get it up to 750 deg with no dramas? Most things on the internet say 550... That must be after the turbo... so i have a bit of room to play with then... although im not wiling to try and get it up to that ...

..Thanks guys Have wound it up, its running a hell of alot better now... I had to adjust the idle it was a bit faster after i did it... Its making 13PSI now with only a small turn, still not getting any smoke at all, just a small haze so my guess is itll do till i get my full exhaust sorted ...

so if i go out for a drive today and boot it up hills EGTs should be idea at say 450 or below at 10PSI... Im running a modified GU turbo... its been hi flowed and currently just running a dump pipe as my exhaust needs modification.... Just though id mention too that my Pyro guage probe is before the ...

Hey all, just wondering if someone can be clear on the fuel screw, i did a search but i need confirmation... Which way do you turn the screw to make more fuel hit the motor from the pump... Is it clockwise? I think my car may be running a little lean, i have no smoke what so ever and the exhaust ...

..if you have the money, buy a couplertec... Use rust converter as said above, in 6 weeks wen the couplertec gets a good hold of the car and the rust and surface rust it already has... thats it... youll never have to worry about it again...

hey all havea genuine Pyrometer kit from VDo, i have intsalled the thing but i am having some major dramas.. Firstly i have installed the guage as per the instructions... but have not connected it into the dump pipe yet as i am having a new one made with the correct fitting. The guage is recieveing ...

Hi all, have tried search but come up with nothing, im having major issues with my bonnet, it wont pop open anymore, after adjusting the cable a few times it worked, then it stopped. Ive found if someone is applying upward pressure to it it goes first time? Could this be because my bonnet stops are ...

Yea, i need a turbo one, my one has cracked and split...making the car an Scanas dog to drive.. May just get a MTQ one, The HT18 is a T3 pattern? Or is it a T25/28... Pretty sure MTQ sell low mounts
