Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I'd have a close look at your front wheel bearing adjustment, and your rear brake adjustment.
If ether of these are out it will produce similar faults to what your describing.

Yep I'd check front bearings. If they are letting the wheel wobble then that pushes the pads back and the pumping brings ...

Never run them.
But logic says you achieve normal low range by shifting either case into low. Actually, scratch that. The rear output off the front case would drive the input on the rear case.
Super low by moving them both into low.
Never had a lux, but assuming the cases are either rwd only or fwd ...

They are all the same box (R15#f) mate (except the surf didn't have the 2.8) in the surfs and V6 4Runners, I'm not sure about the T/D Hilux's they might be a W series box (some one here will know). The R series boxes are stronger then the W's

The R15#f are more then strong enough for a turbo 2.8 ...

Try find a Turbo deisel Surf or V6 4Runner box they are a bigger stronger box, The surf box will bolt straight to the motor (right bell housing) not sure about the box x-member you might need the surf one. I'm not sure if the bell housing from the V6 box will fit.

Surf's and 4Runners are the same vehicle in most respects, the Surfs ussually have a higher standard of trim and turbo dieseasels in them. The 3.0l os the same as what is found in early Prados and T/D Hiluxs (1997-2004??). Many of the mechanical (and body) parts for them can still be bought brand ...

V6 box is the go mate will stand up to it no worries (mine has and I've given it hell)

Can't you see he's a spammer, as he's posted the same thing in many forums? :finger:

I know that 3.8 buiks go into rockys and ferozas pretty easily...

Oy :finger:

So does the buick/holden fit easily and how the heck do you connect it to the gearbox


I'd guess you'd use a Hilux box or ...

I had a few I got from canada when I was younger. Until lasers came into affect. But you can get laser jammers. The cops usually aim for a flat verticle surface (centre mass). 3 at the front and 2 at the rear. Makes you car invisible to lasers. It can not get a reading at all. This includes speed ...

if u put a locker in the front of an IFS, doesnt that give u more of a chance of snapping cv's and stuff cause tyres are always lifting of the ground???

yes it does. but because of that you ajust your driving style. and because you have a front locker you will be able to drive up things slower ...

Do you guys run seperate oil coolers? They sound like a hard engine to keep cool.

I'd imagine that in a big engine bay that the heat can escape from they'd be pretty easy to cool, but the bloody things just about fill the entire Bay

And I did have a big oil cooler on it early on and it made very ...

can i buy any g52 box even with push button hubs then split the box and transfer case and and use my transfer case for the manual hubs?


I don't think so mate, a mate tried it and the rear housing is different and can't be changed over for the earlier model one (his is an sr5 with push button ...

I had one in my 4Runner with a 1uz and it was great in the bush and on-road but it still ran hot on the beach, but I would point it into the wind and it would cool down pretty quickly. I was running a 3000cfm 16" electric fan if that helps at all

just get a 5L (mechanical injection) not a 5L-E (EFI)

have a look here http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/forum/index.php all the info you need is there. the factory 2.8's are all Aust. delivered 4Runners, the Surfs are all Imports and most have a 2.4ltr Turbo (2LT or 2LT-E) or 3.0ltr turbo (1KZ-TE) and normally a higher level of trim. The 2.4 is nearly the ...

yes it will work.

just about anything will, the 5L will be at the easier end of the scale and easy to engineer but obviously needs more electrics than the 3L.


Why does it need more electrics then the 3L they are basically the same engine with bigger capacity, still has the mechanical injector ...

Yep, just spin the flange 45degrees and drill new holes, works fine seen it done a few times

Holden 308 would need to be full time gas.

Holden EFI can run petrol but will cost a lot more to install.

Not sure if you can engineer a chev (350) into a 4 Runner.

Why does the 308 need to be gas :?:

You won't get and old carbied 308 engineered because it won't pass emissions (the engiune ...

They STILL run a carby that is crazy

I haven't personally ever blasted at home but we have a small blast unit at work we just make a Barricade out of cheap tarps (sides and a floor) so that most of the shot is collected and can then be reused. this will cut down on waste and mess but you will get shot to hell with the rebounded shot ...

bobbi_07 wrote:that might be the go will a 3lt turbo engine fit aswell

No unless you turbo a 5L , the factory 3ltr turbo is a 1Kz-te and won't bolt in from what Ive heard but i could be wrong

yes they're the same

I run a v6 4Runner pump for my 1uz has no hassles keeping up

Personally I'd get it blasted and painted with a good quality Zinc coating before any intermediate primers and colours are applied

Most of the powder coat I work with is rubbish and in my personal opinion not suitable for exterior use or for use on steel, it comes off in large flakes because the ...

may be better off putting the cash towards a 1UZ

Yes you are much better off mine goe's/went better then the any 3vze and use 2-5l/100km less fuel

I did have extractor and exhaust on mine and it was what everyone else is saying, horrible job took 1 bloke 10 hours to fit and they would charge the ...

to get the diagnostic codes you need to short out the Te1 and E1 terminal in the diagnostic port then turn your ignition to ON and count how many times the engine light flashes

Front seats, centre console, Front Doors?, everything from the front windscreen forward, gearbox, carpets maybe?

yes

Give it a good sand with 400-600 wet/dry and the rub it with a green scotchbrite pad, wash it with wax and grease remover then prime it with universal or plastic primer let it sit for the required time and paint away

sorry should have been more clear by power down i mean when i have my foot on the accelerator. Also should of said that the unis are fine as just replaced tailshaft as i blew it the shudder only started afterwards. It is a one piece tailshaft. there is no play in the unis and they have been greased ...

When i hit 80km/h my 89 runner starts vibrating like crazy but only when power down. any one got any ideas

By "power down" do you mean when you back off the accelerator? Sounds like tailshaft unis to me (and/or tailshaft centre bearing if your runner has a 2 piece shaft like a hilux).

Or the ...
