Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i "read" somewhere that it sits higher as the shock towers aint exactly the same either side - something to do with the steering clearance

not sure where i read this...

single turbo is easier then one would think. its simply a matter of a return pipe around the back of the engine, much like the VG30DET.

there is a Z31 in perth thats been built by hyperdrive which has a VH45, single snail and engine management - 450hp - stock guts

potential plus, and not as ...

Id 'say' better then the GEN3 as their a smaller capacity engine with better breathing and design. But any V8 is gonna drink really esp when giving them curry

two similar threads so im cut n pasting

how about the VH41 or 45 ?

both making around the 200kw mark (claimed to be more) and high 300Nm and low 400Nm respectively. they go for around the $1500 mark and once you factor in ancilleries it should still be cheaper then a gen3 or xr6t. then thereis the option of forced induction, i think this ...

rb26 - you wont find a good one for ~3k and you dont put one of those into a 4wd

rb25 - capacity is getting low here guys, if anything get the efi bits and turbo, mani from a vl turbo and put that onto your rb30. The DOHC head onto the RB30 isnt as easy as people think, theres alot of work involved ...

Im not 100% sure, but id say there is an adaptor kit out there somewhere, the belhousing on most nissans are the same if not similar i *believe* - but as the engines generally come with the auto id just utilise the VH box as its setup for that engine. im not really sure if the box is a smart one (ie ...

pete, for what a new 4.8 is worth its probably gonna be better for you to get a VH41 or VH45. They usually come with the auto and can be picked up for about $1500 (my mate imports all things jap - if your keen pm me) These engines are strong units and would be a perfect swap. If ive still got the ...

check your passenger side engine mount...

the grano hardstand in your garage / carport will only be about 70mm thick and there will be no refinforcing in it. chop out a few courses but you cant cut away next to the wall or you will undermine the footings

well thats how we build in WA....

tahts probably the most practical solution apart ...

so how are they fitted to the A-pillar ?

ive been interested in a stainless one as paying 600~ is a bit rediculas (ok cheaper then rebuild..)

Just get 2.5 inch press bent - the mandrel bends won't make that much difference on what i presume is a diesel - only hi revving motors really need em.... for $1400 you are better off with press bent 3 inch if worried - extra diameter might compensate for press bends - not sure. My exhaust shop ...

i wouldnt run 1bar (14.7psi) into an engine not designed / tuned for turbo applications. you have tothink about intercooling, extra fueling, timing etc.

or did i just read that post wrong ?
