Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hired a Carribean too and it had dodgy power steering...it was there, but only just.

Cheap though! 20 bucks a day, no limits and full (including personal) insurance and roadside assistance!

Is the bottom end in a 2L the same as the bottom end in a 2LT (oil galleries, pistons etc...) and if it isn't, what are the differances???

Also, do all 2lt's have 2lt written on the block...?

I changed my oil last week...I know I put a Z9 on it and I know I still have some oil left in the 5 litre oil container I bought.

Punani, blue or black smoke?

2lt takes about 4.5 litres....oil filter is a Z9....manuals can be bought at Kmart, Autobarn....

Thanks Dumbdance, I shall rip them apart tomorow and have a look.

Sorry, yes the shaft turns when in 4x4/unlocked hubs when driving....and does not turn when in 2x4/hubs locked.

If one hub works and the other doesn't, wouldnt the front shaft turn if the good one was locked? It seems unusual that they would both be faulty at the same time when one week earlier ...

My 85 Hilux wont b a 4x4.

Hubs unlocked and 4x4 engaged, front shaft turns.
Hubs locked and 4x4 disengaged, front shaft wont spin.

So I am guessing there is something wrong with the hubs.....I havn't heard or done anything for an axle to snap or a CV......

Any clues?

When did VL's come with injected V8's from the factory?

I am just curios, no need to be arrogent.

My stock Injected 5ltr in a VL Calais put out 150KW at the rear wheels.

RUFF, the 304 in the VL was the most underpowered Holden V8 I can think of! It was released during all the unleaded/pollution change over era....

In my 6cyl VL i could accelerate way faster than my friends VL Calais V8 ...

Depends on who drives them Antony...

Yellow pages....

Ron Hall will become your friend soon...ring him...Hall 4x4, pick up a magnet, and ask HIM lots of questions!

He was chasing more flex with the added benefit of it being softer...and yes that is a SHIFT sticker on his screen.

I have a 2L turbo and it is pretty good. No rocket though....

You are wrong.

BJ, I am sort of in the same boat as you...lots of fines, nearly done for dangerous driving and I am 19.

But thanks to dad, the turbo diesel Lux is fully comped, with me as a driver, for $480!

Ant Penis, I think you will find Thornturds are crap.

Looks like spray on mud too me....it's too thin.

a portalled lux...

Mmmmm, Thornbirds....

If you pulled the fuse for your dash lights, it would turn off.

Is it still in 4wd or is it just the light?

SAS?

What are the disadvantages of a one piece? More stress somewhere else?

Mine is gone too.

How come you sig line has a guy pissing on IFS when you yourself have it?

I know about intercoolers and was planning on using either a EJ20T water to air or a 2nd hand jap import one.

I was just curios about mounting positions and I dont want an air to air to get filled with mud.....

I am considering intercooling my 2Lt Toy moter.

I understand they run hot and thought it would be a good insurance to do this...

I was thinking of picking up a medium sized intercooler from a jap wrecker.

Any tips on mounting positions. I was thinking of putting it on so it faced upwards ...

Superchargers run of the crankshaft. You set up pullys...throw out you a/c and power steering if you want twin superchargers.

Turbs run straight of your exhaust manifold.

Thanks for that....

I was thinking about going a water to air intercooler from an old subi.

Sure I could go an air to air but....I need good air flow which is hard with a bullbar and I dont want it to get exposed. Mud and shit wold get in it and it would be useless at low speed.

Could you ...
