Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all,
Just wondering who has done a duel battery setup on their hilux using the surf airbox.
Curious as to what people have used for the air line from the airbox to the inlet manifold and if there were any other problems along the way.
Pictures would be great if you have any.
cheers

Hey everybody, I have recently purchased a 1994 LN106 hilux, there is a few things that im trying to sort out to get it running properly. It has used about 3 litres of oil over approx 4000kms and blows quite a lot of black smoke (just replaced the air filter) i just noticed a leak at the front of ...

hey everybody, for the last year or so my 83 hilux has always had a crooked steering wheel which i have gotten use too but it is still annoying, can anybody tell me what the best way to get it back to straight is?
cheers

OK, have had some time to check and yes the tailshaft is spinning while the car is in gear. so im guessing hopefully it is just an issue with the diff center not being in correctly, can anybody tell me what i might have done wrong, is it possible to put them in upside down or anything dumb like that ...

yep put my old diff center back in so that shouldn't be the problem

Nope transfer case is in gear

sure did and its not still jacked up...

Hi guys, went to drive my car today after replacing the rear diff housing and it wont move at all when in gear, it was driving fine yesterday but now it will not move at all. I can put it in gear with the engine running and it does not stall. I'm guessing it is probably a clutch but why would it go ...

my ute is a 1983 LN65, as far as i know the new engine is out of an 1988 model.

Hi all, after replacing my 2L ive been having problems starting it, yesterday it ran and idled for a minute or so then when revved it died. today it will not run at all no matter how much it is cranked over, ive had a mechanic look at it and he cant figure it out. What we have found so far is- The ...

sorry...what is meant by the lift pump?
if it is the fuel pump then the filter is to the right of the pump when looking from the front of the car.

the cav setup is on the passenger side, with the filter itself on the left hand side and on the right next to it is the other bowl and primer pump.

can anybody recommend a good way to make sure all air is out of the fuel system?
ive been cracking the injectors with the motor running but i still think there is more air in the lines.

hey everybody, ive just swapped my blown 2L with another 2L, ive been trying to get it to run but its blowing huge amounts of white smoke and as soon as you give it a rev it dies. Ive tried bleeding the injectors and they are all pissing out diesel however the glass bowl on my CAV filter only seems ...

Hi all, I have just replaced my 2L with another 2L and upon trying to start it this morning to bleed the injectors i have no power at all, nothing inside the car and no headlights. Last night everything was working and i was able to glow my glow plugs and listen to the radio etc. The only power i ...

hi guys, i have recently replaced my 2L engine and when i went to put the gearbox in today i have realized the bell housing is completely different on the new engine, i have a feeling that the engine may have come out of a surf as some of the wires are also different. is it possible for me to just ...

thanks for the help mate, ill get some pictures up today, the new engine does have the senser on the intake, does it matter if i dont connect it up?

Hi everybody, yesterday i bought a 2L engine to replace my blown one, it is from an 88 model and i have an 84 model engine, my problem is that all the wiring is different and the 2 main plugs on the right hand side of the engine bay are completely different, as well as the 2 plugs on the fuel pump ...

we run the CAV filters on 2 of our GQ's n have never broken a bowl in 5 years, they are mounted in standard position on an adaptor from denco. If you have broken the bowls how did you brake them? did you over tighten the thumb screw? are they exposed to stoned ect? i broke mine by dropping it on ...

Hi everyone, yesterday while changing my fuel filter i broke the glass bowl on my CAV setup, can anybody tell me where is a good place to buy a replacement either in country Victoria or Melbourne, or if anybody has a spare laying around let me know what you want for it.
cheers

hi mate,
the water pump seems to be exactly the same as mine so i dont think changing it would make a difference as the pulley is separate.
please let me know if you have a single pulley to fit.
cheers
rob

gday, i have just replaced my 2L and have realised that the new has a single pulley for the fan belts where as my engine ran 2 belts. the problem im havng is that as i tighten up the fan the pulley pushes up tight against the timing belt cover and can not turn. do these engines come with different ...

the engine is earthed from the block back to the battery,should there be another one?

starter seems to have a loose connection where the big wire from the battery connects. hopefully that may be the problem.

yep just replaced my engine as well but for some reason she wont start. i have power with the key turned to ACC but once i turn it past there i lose everything.

Hi all, i have a single black and yellow wire that is unplugged on the loom running to the alternator, i have connected up the 2 other plugs but i cannot find anywhere for this wire to go and do not remember unplugging it.
the car is an 83 hilux with an 2L engine
cheers
rob

yep earth to block is connected, another starnge thing is the the UHF which is connected to the cigarette lighter wire flickers on and off constantly with the key turned to ACC. the only other thing i can think of that may have caused a problem is that its possible that the wire that connects to the ...

hello, i have just finished swapping over the engine in my 83 hilux and i have now got no power. earlier today it was working with the key turned to ACC but if i turned it further everything went off, but now i have nothing at all. if i turn my headlights on i can hear on of the relays near the fuse ...

the car was built 12/83 so im guessing it has one of the earlier 2L's?
whats the easiest way to check whether the rocker cover is tin?

hi all,
ive located a cheap 3L to hopefully replace my blown 2L,however the reason it is cheap is due to the fact it overheats.
Im assuming the worst scenario could be that it has cracked the head,if that turns out to be the case is it possible to put my 2L head onto the 3L block?
cheers
