Outer Limits 4x4 Board

not sure about being done in a sierra,but pretty sure its been done with a jimny.
as far as i know you a need m13 jimny gearbox & maybe manifolds too,plus the key & barrel with the imobiliser gear.

Cheers Drew

even with vented fronts & standard rear drums mine allways seemed to pull up fine ,even from being up to speed

Hi Duncan ,been a while

i've got a exedy heavy duty in my jimny, has been it it 4 years now with no dramas.learning drivers,spirited ;) driving,etc etc

i'd use exedy or speak to Doug at NPC (nicks performance clutches) over here if your worried about issues with the exedy .
he has built some great ...

What ecu ?

where in brisbane are you ?

toe on brake, roll foot to the right, blip throttle with side of your foot.
usefull downshifting in the pea gravel over in wa.

most single point injection systems run low fuel pressure 15psi odd ,they have been known not to open with excessive pressure.

sorry but i think you best bet is multipoint & programable ecu

cheers Drew

x2 what grimbo said

Why don't people who resort to insults over personal opinions just not bother posting anything.

also zook w/bearings don't live long happy lives with 33's or bigger either (years in the shed don't count).

Are Kia diffs Mazda built or Mazda designed ?
the engines are based on Mazda design,

I should do a members page one of these days

hopefully i still have some build pics around somewhere,lost 3 harddrives in the last couple of years.

Not sure about kia diffs ,they would deny warranty when they started whining, claiming not covered if driven at high speed (100kph).

After breaking the t50 after 8 years of solid use it was a better option to go lux box/transfer than 2wd lux or supra box/jackshaft/sierra transfer.
If i fitted a stronger box & redid the jackshaft,When the power was increased the sierra transfercase housing would of been the next weak point.

It ...

The 2.4 i wouldn't use as they are heavy & underpowered .

The lux box/transfer is actually shorter than the sierra gearbox/jackshaft/transfer.
as well the output is better suited to lux diffs.

Vitara based diff sounds great but how much is it ??,
when i looked at diff upgrades it was cheaper for ...

The problem is finding the rwd auto bellhousing to fit the hilux auto.

I'm not sure if there is a 4x4 hilux with a three speed auto, if there is you may be able to use a ae71 4a auto bellhousing.
As for a 4apd auto bellhousing they do exist but i havn't been lucky enough to stumble across 1 in the ...

All GZE's have the 7rib block they also have oil squirters & forged/semi forged piston's (depending on who you listen to) & stronger rods.

GZE's also come in different variety's, here is a couple of them,

ae82 & early ae92, bigport with a dissy & air flow meter(AFM)

late ae92 & ae101, smallport ...

Are you doing the work yourself, getting a workshop or somebody else to do it for you.

40hrs+ is not out of the question for a properly finished conversion.
are you buying a front cut/engine wiring ecu from somewhere(is it complete ??)actually has everything needed to make it run.

+ engine mounts ...

To get around this in a mates 4age 20v conversion we fabbed up a rotor button mount to bolt to the front of the cam gear, then another mount for the dizzy cap. Still using the original dizzy shaft to run the cas. 15 plus days later at various tracks and no dramas

very clever shakes any pics of this

Dizzy should fit ,my gze is a late smallport & has been running with a bigport ge dizzy for years.

also have ran 3 different types of starter with no dramas, not sure what has happened with yours ,what gearbox/bellhousing are you using??

There are a number of ge gze dizzy combo's,which 1 do you have ??
are you running an aftermarket ecu ?, if so reusing your current dizzy will be the easiest option.
here's what i can remember
1) factory rwd & bigport 86kw ge (TVIS on the inlet manifold) dizzy has 2 pickups 1 i think the inner has a ...

Take leafs out until its soft enough to flex well,
just like you would with just about any other brand of spring.
when they soften up & sag start putting leafs back in

yes there was a 4spd auto sprinter.

no i haven't found 1 yet ,in Australia

i've gone aftermarket bellhousing lux g52 box & transfer, now got a second lux transfer to go in.

not sure but maybe the 88.5 has NT flanges,possibly been swapped at some stage ??

swap the flanges or clock the shaft 45 degrees & redrill the flanges.

The 4.1 maruti gears from the 90's wide track 1L maruti's are definately 1.3 centres & do bolt straight in & 1.3 aftermarket lockers fit.

I presume you have hilux cables & sierra handbrake lever

try this for starters:
The leverage points need to be changed to improve the handbrake,
redrill the points where the cables attach to the levers on the backing plate(holes further inn to increase travel)

Next you need to move the point ...

Aparently there was a factory bolt up rwd 4 spd auto option but i am yet to find one.have tried more than once with no luck

Sprinter Gearbox's are ok you want the jap spec one (slave cyl on the right hand side)yes T5O

Don't touch the cable clutch box K50 it is not up to the task

The importer i ...

Sorry npc clutches ,have been using them for years with good results in all sorts of things.

I have a new custom clutch for mine with the gze & hilux box.
its amodded 20v flywheel,EVO pressure plate with upraded spring,
V6 prado sprung center with ceramic ...

Clutch plate is not up to it.

Try talking to doug at NPC he's the man with custom clutches

saw that the other day, knew someone would post it up soon enough

What engine are you looking at using ???

Driveline life will depend on tyre size & a little mechanical sympathy.
Have had stock sierra driveline last many years with 4age & 4agze engines.

Remember you can never have to much power to drive to work & back

good old cal trac bars,have thought about trying them on a 4by.

have you got any pics ,before & after.

there is a amphibious jimny that has turned up at the cleveland car show the last couple of years

spigot bearing puller.
try some local workshops ,hopefully someone will lend you 1 or pull the bearing for you.
