Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Yes, definately. I got mine 4 years ago for a touch over $1100.00 delivered from the US when our dollar was 71c US at the time, that was $687.00 cheaper than I could get them from my local 4by shop. Also they were on my door step in 9 days, instead of waiting 6 weeks from the local bloke. Mine came ...

Is there a big difference between the no slips and regular lockrights? There is a $300 price difference between the two, so I'm wondering if it is worth it or not. My HiLux is a daily driver so on road manners are important, but I'm prepared to change my driving style. Sorry for the thread hijack ...

I have one of the cheap ebay jobbies on my HZ and so far it's working fine, a mate has had one on in his 350 HQ Coupe for 2 years without any problems.

For $70.00 what have you got to lose?

It'll cost more than that to get a Blue motor Bosch rebuilt and they have a nasty habit of modules playing ...

I'm running Lockright Powertrax No Slips front and rear in my Troopy and have had no issues over 3 years and 50,000km.Other people who drive it don't even know lockers are fitted till I tell them.

If you get a LOKKA you will find it harsh in the way it engages and disengages If you get a Lockright it'll be smoother, if you get a Lockright Powertrax No Slip, you wont even know it's there 99%of the time.
No Pssssst = No problems....

How would a set of carbs off a ZZR1100 do in this type of application Semi flatslide 42mm x 4 with all rubbers..Off track a bit but just curious.....

Bugga, should have read the post above first :-(

Ultratune in Vestan Drive Morwell are fairly sensible when it comes to RWC's, but in saying that anything that needs doing will not be overlooked as they all have to cover thier arses with so many people suing these days.......

Here's a thought.

If all this work has been done trying to make the d-gas system work on your engine, and you are really *that* sure it is the system at fault, take it all off, put it into another car, and prove your point.

Otherwise we could sit here forever debating it and come to no conclusion ...

Maybe the vehicle is at its limits of power to make. If the diesel was backed off a little, then gas added it would/should make more power.

Care to post up some dyno graphs? What sort of power does it make at the wheels?

From what I've been told up to 10% extra power on a n/a engine is the norm ...

what AFR's is it running?
the only time gas is gonna give a benefit, no matter how shitty the tune, is when there is fuel and air left unburnt and it can scavenge that.
if you were making all the power the motor was going to with the amount of air it was being fed, then the diesel should have been ...

Personally I don't think it's a tuning problem, It has the latest D-Gas Version 2 TPI system on it now. This is the 5th delivery system" all D-Gas" that has been fitted and the greatest power benifit of 3.5kw at 38% gas was the original system.

It has spent as much time in workshops etc as I have ...

Just a follow up on the D-Gas saga, I was talking to an installer of another gas system last week and telling him about the dramas and lack of results from the D-Gas system, and he informed me yesterday that the company who supplies him is giving me one of thier gas systems free of charge including ...

All my fuel results from the first system to the latest.

The Average fuel use over 80,000km was 14.88l/100km this included all low range 4wd work beach work etc.

The 12.91l/100km is what the vehicle got on a diesel only trip on the freeway.All the diesel/gas figures are based on freeway KM only ...

Below is a couple of pics of my Troopy in Tassie, it's fitted with Medium load front and 400kg constant load rear springs and shocks from OME. It works together really well with minimal settling so far in over 15,000km...

I am currently going through the same thing with TUNIT and a module that I had fitted to my Mazda 6 Turbo Diesel. Somehow they couldn't understand why I was pissed off at 5% increase for $1500 when they advertise 20%. Still fighting it at the moment. I am currently getting Tune number 3 loaded up ...

Believe me , we have tried many many jet combinations through the 5 gas systems and the best result was a 3.5% power increase using 38% gas, put a smaller jet in and the power increase lessens.

I too am disappointed about not getting a refund, I was told to take it up with the initial installer ...

Just wondering if anyone else is having an issue getting any power and fuel economy benefits from their N/A diesel fitted with D-Gas .

I have had 5 different systems including the latest Version2 TPI system installed over the last 11 1/2 months with only a minimal 3.5% power increase and a rise in ...

www.flaminfabrications.com.au cheapest price I could find. Under $500 delivered...

I have a D-Gas system, well system number 5 actually. The latest is the version 2 TPI system.

The saga with my vehicle is still ongoing after 10 months with no noticable power improvements and still more expensive to run than pre gas. NOW Listen carefully.... don't get gas on a N/A diesel it's ...

I have used TT gears, bearings, bushes, synchros etc in a gearbox / transfer and it's as noisy as it was before being rebuilt. I even had it pulled apart again after 2500km and nothing showed as being rooted..

Got both front and rear in my Troopy no issues in 28k so far.

Mine are the Richmond Gears Powertrax No slips, much smoother operating. Got them from Rocky_Road in the US.

Shouldn't be a problem, all the weight is down low.

These were made by a mate of mine,

Regarding ARB Locker prices, by mistake I got an Invoice for 2 ARB Lockers in some packing a couple of years ago, dealer price was $420.00 each, not a bad mark up for them hey, when they sell to the public for $1200.00+

Get used to it, one of the pleasures of air lockers.

Cheap, No ratcheting noises, no clunks, bangs, pigrooting, trying to throw the car off the road, no shimming (in 20,000km so far, never failed to work,happy as, Lockright Powertrax Noslip Lockers.
Just my opinion.

I have the same problem with my Troopy, it was fine till the cable broke and when the new one was installed (by me) it now flutters between 40-90 kmh (worst at 60) then once it gets to 100kmh its normal. Not a genuine Toyota cable so that may be the issue.

so to all the internet mechanical experts out there that think building diffs is easy,answer this.
how did you setup and check that you had correct preload on the carrier bearings?
did you bother to measure the backlash with a dial indicator and how did you adjust it?
did you torque up the bearing ...

The gearbox and transfer in my 75 do the same after spending 2k on new gears, bearings, transfer case kit, clutch etc. I think it's just normal noise for old boxes..
