Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I think there is some merit in this.

Of the big boosted TD42 I have heard fail (not many) it has always been as a result of 1 or 6 getting hot. Saying that I have seen them all crack between the liners.

So a bigger intake manifold would help balance out all the cyclinders - well I feel it would ...

Nice setp up, What kind of HP are you getting Garth??

Hey Tomo,

I run this turbo with a big spec pump but have the .64 exhaust housing. It spools up around 1500 around 10psi?? and makes good boost 18psi?? around 1800rpm. I'm currently running 22psi.

I have heard the Mitsu's come on alot earlier and will go to about 4000rpm. This makes them really ...

some old truckies have been doing this for years . One i know used to fill at Yunta which gave enough fuel to get to Sydney / added 4ltr of 2 stroke
and said injectors would be clean when he got there / swore by it
i actually sold him oil so i know its correct :lol:

Old truckie here (47 years ...

Hey Dez,

i found that that happened with my radiator too. I found that the fitting where the cap screws onto to filler was to deep and that the cap rubber couldn't seal. I ended up fitting a thicker rubber and this helped.

I hope this helps.

hey boys,

sorry for the late reply, yeah mine is like the ones pictured. I removed the head and flush it though, was worried about metal scrap getting into the radiator.

Anyway, as previosly mentioned Diesels have an issue in head desin here and the is amplifed once you start pushing them for Big ...

Thanks guys there seams to be a lot of people have different results, I suppose it depend on how it is set up (fans, size, push pump etc etc)

Thanks for the info, I will sit down with the radiators I have ordered and work out the best place I think to fit them... weather it be drawing form the ...

I'm no expert on air flow etc, but the pics in the above thread look to flow at speed and protect the radiator from rocks etc whilst driving.

There some nice ideas ther I will have to sit and work something like that out.

Thanks Daniels

I have some pictures around here of how I did my head. If I can find them I will show ya.

That was my thought to mate, will post some pictures of my set up.

Thanks Bazooked

I did Outback Challenge with Lawrie Sternbeck - dual cab hilux V8 with rear mount radiator. Problem was the vacun behind the cab when we went fast. The best fans in the world cant blow air in a vacum. And so we only had temp problems the faster we went. Needs some form of diverting air from sides ...

Hi guys,

Chasing some info on rear mounted radiator.
Can you post pictures of were its mounted, why you mounted where you did and how effectiant it is working?

Thanks
Daniels

96 black top was the weakest of the weak, changed bore webbing etc.

Saying that, I'm - well I was running 21-23psi thru this engine, dyno @ 155kw @ 3600rpm at the treads on united's dyno back in late 06 (they said I wouldn't get over 120kw, ha ha). The truck has been getting a full chassis rebuild ...

Garmin make a great one 3110 (I think) models are pretty good,I dont think its made anymore though.

Search for GPS central in Canada, Bru and myself both got Magellens from over there, mine was 3
$350 landed here .

hope this helps.

Daniels

thanks for info guys,

ronno,
I understand that thicker core will limit air flow, this core is ment to have a less fine count per square inch to help increase air flow, do you think this will help?
I know its not ideal having a rear mounted rad, but i have limitations as to what I can fit in the ...

Hi Gang,

I'm in the process of installing a rear mounted radiator to my comp truck.
What are your thoughts on how it will preform on highway in high (50C) ambent temps.

The truck is a boosted, fueled up TD42.

The reason I ask is that I would love to take the truck up north end of the year.

The ...

the advantage of a three link upper or tri four link is the the diff cyciles(sp?) in a consistant straight up and down motion, where as a factory 5 link runnining a 4/6" lift with panhard will suffer with more rear diff steer on high speed compression. Changing the lower links may help elimante this ...

Hi gang,

I wanted to let you know of the out come of this little story.

Not long after my last post on this site, my brother had a call from the ARB rep for WA. He explained that they were happy to replace the spring and that it had been done. He also added that the case had been not handeled ...

any thoughts on mixing and matching springs??? please chime in..

We replaced the rears only as they had been cold reset some time back, and as a result lost there temper a lot quicker. Now these packs were origianally heavy packs and gave little flex and I (the cruiser was mine orignally) had to ...

yep no mention of speaking to head ofice only a sales rep of unknown origin.

You're right here to Grimbo....

.... and as the story goes, I have asked to speak to both head office and the spring manufacture and was told by the store in question that they dont give these numbers out and to deal ...

Are you dealing with an *** owned dealership/franchise or just a shop that stocks *** gear?

I'm not sure if this has been answered and i've missed it ??

Curious is all...

so what is the answer to this? dealing with some bloke in some little town who sells the stuff is very different to ...

thanks

I think the best option is to buy a cheap rig in reasonable nic, because you will chop at it and fit custom engine bits.

I brought a 26 grand ute with a turbo kit and cut it to bits.....

JUST my little bit.

so at the start of this year i purchased a new pair of shoes. being a poor man i decided i would spend that little bit more cahs and get a decent pair by a well known brand so that they would last me. i went with adidas. one of the worlds largest clothing manufacturers.

6 weeks after getting them ...

gotta laugh

well atleast it would be easy to settle, if its faulty material/manufacturing or overloaded/abused, get a metalurgist to study the break!! Should be able to determine the type of failure
we are looking into this at the moment , cost is a big thing. But I will ask some friends at a large mining ...

I'm not to sure, I am pretty sure that the Dakar is made over seas.( please correct me ARB383 if I'm wrong, oh and tell me once more I fitted them wrong and abused them)

there are not to many manufacturers in the world,let alone australia that would give an unconditional warranty on a product that they do not fit and is abused.
why would the 4x4 industry be any different?

just my opinion.


you guys are totally missing the the point.
read my post again.
i am not ...

even a abused spring should be able to hold upto it! look at stock leaf springs, they go for 20years of being abused by ppl overloading them day in day out. IMO aftermarket springs should be of the same qaulity yet they never are, hence why ill never buy a set

Rory,

that is a really good point ...
