Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey,

I am planning a 350 chev straight gas conversion and am trying to sort out the front of the engine.

What is the best accessory setup to keep AC?
Can I use the ps and AC from the tb42?
There is two length water pumps, which is best?

I had a long look through the searches but couldnt find an ...

I have a denco one, and the flange is t3.

Only thing I dont like is the turbo is quite far back towards the firewall, so the dump pipe needed extra work to make up, and is closer to the firewall than I would like.

Not sure if the other option is any better.

cheers.

What is the best size for a single setup?

Hi,

I know people always reference the 440 as the one to go for, but for around 170kw atw's is the 400 big enough?

It would be with twin b2's and twin tank lines.

Just found one cheap, so I was hoping it would be enough.

cheers.

did you have a bodylift?

where did you put the washer?

cooki, thanks for the input.

Just to clarify a couple of things.

Do you drill out and tap the metal lid in the same place as the smaller barb is now?


Where is the ideal place for the pressure feed end of the hose?
I would assume tapping the side of the mixer would be a no go


cheers.

ive now figured out that you need to drill and tap the convertor to take a 1/2 inch barb fitting, which you run to the pressure feed

Only problem is, the convertor has a plastic lid.

Any ideas?

Here is one end of the hose



Here is the other end

it has a small hose running from the top side of the mixer, to the front convertor. 1/4 or 5/16.

The only other hose off the convertor is the gas feed hose - 1 inch.

If you pm me your email, I can send you a pic

If that balance hose is running from the wrong place, does that mean it will need to ...

if you change the spring, does it need to be fully retuned?



cheers

I hope its not due to being mounted on its side.

Anyone else got a similar setup?

hi,

I have a impco 425 blow through setup on my turbo tb42.

It is hesitating badly during high throttle gear changes, or high to low boost changes, like when you boot it hard, then back off and return to cruise throttle.
It feels like the diaphram is being negatively affected by the boost, which ...

Thats what I was thinking,
Unless you wanted your 100 looking like a drag rotary?

Nissan Aus don't get squat out of an imported gu shorty.

If they let everybody import cheap cars, who would buy all the crappy new ones?
Then, who would employ the people who work there?

When I was in the import business, these was the reasons I was given.

cheers.

NZ doesn't have any car manufacturers, so there is no one to protect from the influx of cheap cars.

So the theory goes.

Based on the fact that either square or round will do the job,

Does it just have to have a big enough hole for the main bolt to go through, but be small enough to fit inside the outside diameter of the body mount?

Excuse my ignorance, but I was trying to get the right washers before pulling the ...

worn body mount rubbers, get some 6mm square building washers remove the nut off the bolts going through the rubber mount, put washer in put nut on and do up. The steel sleeve inside the mount should tighten up inside the centre hole of the washer thus squashing the body mount or in other words ...

neither is the rest of car really, so that wouldn't bother me.

So they were good in terms of fitment?
No noises etc?

cheers

hey guys,

I have the dreaded floor knock on the drivers side and was thinking of changing the body mounts as I don't think it is a cracked floor, firewall etc.

I saw these on ebay:

hey,

I am looking at going auto, can you use a b&m style shifter with the gq box.

I had a look and they only seem to support US style g/boxes.

Any info would be appreciated.

We used to use Race Radiators in our race cars.

Never saw or heard 1 bad thing about them.

Really good company - sources quality cores from the states.

cheers.

mmmmm, that doesnt sound good.

Is the GU auto different??

I am thinking of changing to auto in my gq with a turbo tb42.

What power level do the stock gq auto's crap themselves?

What other options have people gone with?

Whats the cost to mod the stock auto to cope with the power?

Not looking at more than 180kw atw, and not looking to drive it too hard ...

Does the 4.8 bolt up to other gu or gq gearboxes??

If not, does the 4.8 g/boxes fit in a gq or gu without too much trouble.

High temp Ultra copper gasket goo will solve both those issues.

Are the lifters normally a prick to get up through the head?

yeh send them through via pm

cheers

i've got a turbo petrol, making anywhere upto 180kw atw.
Should that flow enough for it?

What are the other option to fit easily behind the headlight?

yeh i know, i' have no problem doing it, but I am in an apartment and the dodgy looks from the residents while I pull it all apart could do my head in.

As its such a quick job, I figured it couldnt cost much.

cheers.
