Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just want to know a few things... Who are these people who say the ecotec hasn't any torque? Have they done the conversion before? If so where were they when I wanted information about the conversion? :? :cry: On a serious note now, the falcon 6 does make sense considering it would be a better fit ...

I had an injected 250 crossflow in my FJ40 and it went pretty good (wasn't standard though). About the torque factor, all that comes down to is gearing. I haven't had anything to do with the EL engine so I can't have an opinion. If you belive it would be a good swap I say, "Go for it". :armsup:

Hey Buddy, I'm currently running the Ecotec V6 in my GQ Patrol SWB (ute converted), and was in the same boat as you... not much info about it because it "hasn't been done". You'll get told lots of stories about not being worth it blah blah... no power blah blah... or easier to throw in a V8. The V8 ...

Last I heard was "no closer than 600mm apart". You may want a second opinion though.

Cheezy Racing... I know he does them for GQ but not sure about the GU, I have no idea about price. I am going to call him about them after I've killed the originals.

Marks 4wd Adapters, Castlemaine Rod Shop... they are the main 2 I know but there are many more.

I need the formula to find what RPM I'll have with a certain tyre size... Search found this "RPM = km/h divided by 1.6 x gear ratio x 336 divided by tyre dia.".... What is 1.6 and 336? My overdrive - 0.696:1 Final ratio - 4.11. I need about 2000RPM @ 100km/hr Thanks in advance for the formula. Dave.

I had a 6 point roll cage in my SWB before the ute chop and it was all legal... mod plate (prior to my ownership) in QLD

You can run the self diagnostics if you bridge the plug (in the manual) if it's still attached in the harness. Check (test) your ignition module and coil.

They are just a press fit, no special treatment. If you find you need to lengthen the nylon hose there is an adapter (nipple) fitting. We run these fittings on the pnuematic safety shutdown circuits on underground vehicles.

Not too sure if this is the fitting your talking about... if it is, just press the 'orange' section till it meets the 'orange' section closest to the brass, holding that, and pull the hose out. trim the end of the hose square then push the hose back into the fitting till it bottoms out. it will ...

I thought it may have carried too much pressure for a hose and clamp because of the "o-ring snap lock" setup on it.

THANK YOU

I have adapted the VT commodore fuel pump into my GQ fuel tank (as you do... :roll: ) but broke the fitting in the middle of the three. I looked in the manual but doesn't tell me what it's for (whether high pressue or return etc). Would I need to buy another pump? Can anyone help me? http://i80 ...

I have put a V6 into my Patrol and need a reverse bowl sump. Does anyone know if the Marks Adapter Bundera sump "P/N-MES1222" would suffice (pointless buying it if it doesn't), or would I have to make one?

Thanks in advance,
Dave.

^-- AGREE
Main idea is to design it to what you want to carry (storage) and build to you're needs

Try the spray tin of scotchguard (if they still make it)

Standard 80 series coils- Length 475mm, Coil dia. 150mm, Wire dia. 15mm. Hope that helps

I think that a coil cnversion is not allowed by QLD transport either (I wanted coils under the 40)

We wired it up ourselves, using the VP fuse panel (from strut tower) and also ran all accesories from there as well... if you are electrically illiterate, GET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. It will save you alot in the long run (I have never used an aftermarket harness so I can't promote them ...

CONT. Oh yeah almost forgot.... THE PROBLEMS... had a radiator made (desert cooler) and the hose running to the water pump came mighty close to the A/C compressor and the water pump pulley was even closer to the electric fan, so we moved the radiator about 1/2 in forward... The P/Steer reservior ...

Just finished one... (COULD GET ALL THE PICS YOU WANT TOMORROW) A/C was plumbed by my mate (I was doing the lockers) we used the Commodore compressor and run the condenser behind the cab with a thermo fan, fitted nicely in the contour of the wall. The fuel pump used was a commodore V8 pump which we ...

Well... since we're on the topic of moulded lift blocks: The NEW playdough moulded lift blocks now come in a variety of colours to match your duco... retailing for $9.80 for a 1kg bucket.

How bout a candle? they would be easier to cut to length...

Well there's a suggestion... drill a hole through a hockey puck...

I was just curious about them... I have metal lift blocks on mine with the mounting points on the body reinforced

That would be like the boat rollers I mentioned... they have a 16mm bolt hole so you can upgrade for more strength,.

AGREED... wouldn't be cheaper... but ALOT less hassle

My mate just machined his up at work (metal)... try any engineering metal shop down there they usually have offcuts they could machine up for you.

On the topic, are the red poly rollers for a boat trailer the same material as what you could use for the lift? Find out that and you could probably use them and just cut them to length... any boating store

cheaper to put a petrol V8 in it
