Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day guys I fitted a new injector pump to my hilux but it was off a 2.4 hilux anyway I would the fuel screw in a bit but the old girl was still very lathargic and non responsive. So today I played a little more with the screw. now I'm stoked with how it's running and the power and response it has ...

She's alive thanks for the help guys appreciate it

Ok guys turned out to be an earth issue I forgot I removed my spot light wiring which turns out it must have been earthing the entire vehicle

Now does anyone have a way to
Prime a diesel without the primer as mine is buggered and I can't afford one till next pay day ( 2 weeks away)

Ok mate I'll take a look at those in the morning on a fresh mind and see what I can find cheers

Yes sorry I made that a little hard lol

I shook relays and the like around the engine bay made no difference but lights are off more often than on I gave up as the car is at work and it was late could the plugs and main battery cable to the starter have anything to do with this

will check that out but not sure why that would happen once I replaced starter and injector pump I did check batt terminaks and the engine turns over perfectly fine when lights do come on.

Haven't bled the pump yet

Hey guys done as quick search but I'm running out of time :roll: No I was defected for a leaking injector pump so I have replaced that along with timing belt water pump and starter motor. When I timed the engine I made 100% sure that was right now once i tried to start it the dash lights (reds) they ...

Best cheapest as I have come across is supagas they were around 100 cheaper than boc for work and free delivery

Bought one of these at work a couple of weeks ago great value much better than any other tig in that price range

I ended up with a set of 34 simexs and I'm happy with my purchase I'm getting better fuel economy and gearing isnt that bad off road
All I had to do was hammer the seam in the front wheel arches to get them on with out scrubbing

Thanks mate that's exactly what I was after

I have done a lot of research into making a trac bar that works for my hilux. And have decided to go with a slip and twist design with heim joints. My question is how have people mounted them at the chassis end? The link in the bible for working trac bars doesn't have any pics anymore. So can people ...

OK si its definitely the starter it kicked the bucket today

Thanks guys

Hey guys I have done some searching and read through 10 or so pages of info but none of these threads gave much insight to the problem My hilux is acting like it has a falt battery however it won't start even after charging or jump starting it clutch starts really easily and runs good alt is ...

Thanks mate

I have been thinking about it hard and have decided to go with 33's for now and then save for lockers

Thanks guys

What model Subaru do the calipers come from?

Thanks for your help mate appreciate it

Cheers inbits

Planning on forced induction however I have just been given a supercharger for free so I may go that way with a good intercooler setup

What are hilux axles etc like when running 35's?

Hey guys I know this will have been covered plenty of times but I can't decide on wether to go 33 or 35 inch tyres on my hilux It's a 1990 single cab For starters I'm not worried about moving the diff cutting guards etc to get tyres to fit I tend to do alot of off road work and I like to play hard ...

I'd love to throw a new Pump in the old girl but I just can't afford it at the moment so that's why I'm trying to keep cost down thing is if I can use the 2.4 pump with out any drop in performance I can do the rebuild and then install it once it's ready to go

Ok that's good to know Wat a bummer haven't even had it a week

I'm a mechanical fitter do it shouldn't be too much trouble but I always mark and photo stuff as I go just to be sure
I found the seal kits for 69 dollars how do you avoid low sulphar diesel?

And does the 2.4 pump fit as I have access to one of them

Hey guys I picked up my hilux last Saturday Before I bought it I spent a good hour going over it and I was happy. Today before I left to go out I started it up ( 2.8 diesel ) when I came back out there was a big puddle of diesel under it and a steady drip running from the injector pump onto the sump ...

Will be doing my own manifold and piping for intercooler just for something to do and won't cost me as much

I will be heading down the turbo path after alot of research however I'll be making my own setup as a bit of a project

Thanks for the replies guys

G'day I am picking up my new hilux this week and the first thing I want to do is forced Induction It is a 1990 single cab 2.8 diesel So I was originally wanting to turbo it but then thought that a supercharger would be different and should work better due to having boost from idle once setup right ...

i think that will work a treat with it solidly mounted via braces to the box it will be just like any other 4b without a divorced transfer

Had a look at it today very happy with it. Only rust i could find was the door and its about 50 cent piece size. engine very strong with good service history no oil leaks new suspension new safari tuff clutch new brakes al around new tjm bull bar spotties gearbox had a noise on deceleration but he ...

What's the lowest acceptable compression for the 2.8 before you need to worry ?

Was planning on doing a compression myself and the usual mechanical stuff will check for
Rust in the places you guys have mentioned.
So there aren't many inherent problems other than the usual maintenance and rust issues from neglection

Cheers
