Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the feedback guys!

Thats to do with reciprocating weight. 2 litre 4cyl has heavier pistons than a 2 litre 6 cyl thus more leverage on the crank for every stroke. It also means that the the 4cyl won't rev as hard as it is too hard for the engine to stop the pistons and start them again at TDC and BDC.

What do you guys think? Are aggressive AT patterns (like the BFG and Cooper) better in high speed dirt than MT patterns?

Looking at doing abit of off road racing, hence the question.

A Feroza that I am looking to purchase seems to have an excessive amount of backlash in the driveline. To the point of it clunks.

How much lash is normal?


Cheers

Simex 33x10.5-16 JT2 or 32x9.5-16 ET? Around melbourne, high country and on the highway to and from the trails (the only road duties they will get). The sizes on the spec sheets are roughly the same.

Which one is the peoples choice?

What worked best on the sand that you have driven on?

Give details of wether the sand was soft or firm, heavly loaded or light, mud tyres or all terrains, man or auto.



Cheers!

I think you'll find about 66 ...

Had a quick look to see if this comparison had been done. Couldn't find any. Which one is better in rock, mud, wet clay, dirt, tarmac (wet and dry)?


Cheers

Hi guys, I am looking for a LT 230 transfer case for a custom conversion that I am doing. Just curious what high range and low range ratios came in what modles of Land Rover/Range Rover. Need to know which one to buy!




Thanks!

Thanks for all of the info guys. It's going in my Bundera. Currently has a 1g-gte and standard driveline. Getting a 5.0 v8 and T5 5 speed out of either a vn commodore or eb falcon (if iI can find one for the right price). The reason for divorvced is easier than adapting up the standard transfer to a ...

What needs to be done to the Land Rover transfer to make is divorced?
How much do they go for?

Thanks for that. Do you know what the transfer case ratio of an MQ transfer case is?

Just a few questions. Is a divorced transfer case a case that is seperate from the gearbox? How long should the shaft connecting the two be? Where can I get a divorced transfer case that will handle 200hp, be driverside offset for both front and rear diffs, and have a standard low range ratio of ...

What does a mini spool in the front diff drive like on dirt. And what does it drive like on trails. Got pwr steering so not worried about steering effort.

How does the Rock Steady 4.5 in suspension kit compair to the Calmini 3in kit. Will either kit fit 31in tyres without cutting the guards? I want to fit 31in rubber on the widest offset 15x7 rim I can get off the shelf. Is that of a Jeep or F100?

Cheers!

what diff ratios do rockys come with and are they interchangeable?

Thanks for all of your help guys! Want to run 31 in silverstone 117 sports.
Figure 31 on suzuki diffs is like 33 on Bundy diffs.

Planning to drive as hard as the little thing will go. I'm a strong believer that most cars are a whole lot more capable than their drivers, and I would like to see how far the Vitara will push me. Would like to keep the IFS.

What type of traction devices are avalible for a vitara

With that you have said. I would budget a SAS with toy diffs on it. and maybe a supercharger if you get an efi one.

cheers


SAS?

Just for somthing diferent. I've owned my Bundy for a while now, time for somthing different. I've posted it up for sale elseware in this forum. It's the one with the twin turbo six in it. Usually go as hard as we can when we go wheeling. I've visited most of the toughest spots in Victoria, with the ...

Want to sell my Bundy, buyt a Vitara, fit a 3in suspension kit, and 5.83 ring and pinions

Hi. Does anybody know if anyone in Australia distributes Calmini products?

Hi guys. Does anybody know of a website that lists what is required for an engineers certificate when doing modifications? I.E what grade of steel is required for engine mounts etc. Prefer somthing that relates to what mods can be done in Victoria.

W will bolt up, but don't know about transfer case. 2.7 porado uses W box. W stronger than G, R stronger than W. Luxes come with R series gearboxes in the diesel modles. Better choice for strength and bolt up ability. Go on Toyo mods web site for more info.

1G-GTE! Got one in my Bundy, 150 kw at 6400rpm, 245 Nm at 3800rpm. Do it with a front cut and you will save heaps. I purchased the engine for $700 from a wrecker (they are cheap as), but spent heaps in making it work, intercooling etc. Ended costing me $5000, and I did most of the work myself. With ...

Cheers!

Does anybody know if there is anywhere in Australia where I can get a set of 5.29 diff ratios for my Bundera. It has a high pinion front diff which people tell me is only avalible in a 4.88. I have seen 5.29 high pinions offered in American Magazines but cant seem to find them in Australia.

sillicone or sikaflex? what is better?

I was told that silastic in the bead before you seat it helps. Has anyone done this, and does it work? what side affects does it have?
