Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'm just wondering if it is worth bolting up an engine I have sitting in the shed... I know it will be a fair bit of mucking around getting it going as well. But, thats just part of the fun, plus it will be a unique Hilux. But it will produce around 170hp ATW @ 4000rpm, which is a fair bit of torque ...

You need to look at what extractors you get.

Just because you get them doesn't mean you will gain power. I have seen this time and time again on cars where people have got extractors and actually lost power...

But yea, I would think that more than 2" exhaust (mandrel bent) would be too much ...

Cut the hose, and replace that section with a piece of metal pipe. You can get most sizes from places like Bunnings. Maybe even the copper plumbing pipe?

- My Guess -

Yea, I'm guessing CV as well. I take it it doesn't do it in 2WD?

RN36 Hilux... Like 79 - 83.

I'll have a photo in the next few days if you are that interested

I'm looking at about $100 a set, preferably. 2nd hand obviously.

Hey guys,

I have a RN36, and looking at getting a 1.5" lift. I just want a cheap option for the shocks. IE. From another vehicle? That I can hopefully get from a wreckers, or off one of you guys?

Thanks..

Ok, thanks... Keep the tips coming. I think the problem was that I was trying to lift one side off at a time. I'll grab another jack and get the whole front off the ground.

BTW... I did have the 12mm bolts off, thanks for the idea I had to take them off for the rears, so if I didn't do it for the ...

Nah, it's not a SWB... well, definately doesn't look like it

Ok.... so now I'm on the look out for longer shocks.

Anyone got any handy that I can pick up tomorrow?

Ok,

I'm getting all my springs reset tomorrow and I got the rears off fine. Now the front, what a pain in the arse

I've got all the nuts off and I can't get the bolts / shackles out of the damn thing. I'm guessing it is because I have to jack the ute up so that it takes the pressure off the ...

Hey guys,

Just wondering if I get a 1.5" lift on the normal springs whether or not I need to worry about the shocks? BTW. I'm getting this done tomorrow, short notice I know

It is for a RN36 Hilux.

Tripharn

stock rear springs are a bit or a rare thing and a hot item as ppl like to put them in the front of thier trucks, try a wreckers in sure the 2wd model springs from the same era might fit

Ok, thanks I'll check the 2WD ones.

Just for the record, they don't have to be stock height. But the ...

LN111 is an IFS and has longer rear springs.
I know, I have one.
Paul.

Thanks, that is one more model that I can't get them from

Yea, I thought of that, but I couldn't change the thread title :(

I've posted in the wanted section as well....

Hey guys,

Since my post seems to have drifted down a bit, I've done a bit more research (and made a more generic title, so people don't just see RN36 and skip it)

Anyway, I need a set of rear springs for my hilux, now the little research I have conducted on the Internet, due to everything ...

Hey guys,

My rear springs are pretty shagged from having a lot of concrete sitting in the tray for a few months. I don't have much money so I was wondering if anyone had an old set hanging around that they wanted to part with?

Or if anyone knows of any other vehicles that fit that I can get ...

Wouldn`t worry about spending money on a shit motor better of spending it on something with EFI,Pretty sure a Supra conversion is the thing for you

Ummm, isn't the 22RE EFI? I wouldn't touch a carby motor at all.

Supra?? But how much stuffing around are we talking about getting to fit up to ...

Yea, already over at toymods... didn't know about the rest.

Thanks for that

Hey guys,

Thought I would just say hi. I've been given my fathers old work ute, and damn is it worse for wear! It's going to be taken off the road for about 6 months (at least) as I get the time to do it up as solely a 4WD vehicle for weekends etc.

Pretty much everything needs replacing, but I ...

I saw a guy on a bike hit a truck near the city a few months ago in Brisbane (and yes, he hit the truck, and he didn't come off best at all!)

I was the only one that stopped, in fact I got abused by other drivers that just drove around the guy laying on the ground. In the time it took to get him ...

Much more than 5% even with the 8V efi.... more like about 15%.

Better power, more fuel economy. Worth considering.

Also as the Carby starts off with lower compression than the EFI it's a great basis for turbocharging or supercharging.

What is the compression of the two engines?

I suppose ...
