Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ben (on the Victoria club) did it to his Gen2 LWB. If Ben is the one I'm thinking of, it's an NL Shorty. Yes, We exchanged some info while he was doing his transplant, but I unfortunately lost contact with Ben. I think his handle was 'NLShorty'. (Must have been a Gen2 S WB, then!) The engine bays a...

I did it to my NF.
My brother did it to his Gen2 SWB.

My project is documented here.

Thanks for a good write-up!

Did you keep track of the costs?
If so give us an indication of the total rebuild cost.

Can you put a 6g72 into a 4g54 petrol 1996 4WD dual cab With enough $$$, cutting disks and welding rods, just about anything can go into almost anything else. :D It will fit in the engine bay, I think. I always recommend to buy the entire drive train (engine, gearbox and transfer case) as a unit. I...

Oils for diesel engines are usually 'better' than those for petrol engines - just because diesel engines put higher demands on the oil.

Caltex Delo 400 Multigrade is an excellent oil, suitable for both petrol and diesel engines. It's most probably 'over-kill' for a petrol engine.

Which diff is it?

Is it the same as the 2.5 TD's?

Lordtrunks found these by accident. Jap Caps http://files.dsm-club.org/caps/caps_jap_0703.rar Euro Caps http://files.dsm-club.org/caps/caps_eur_0607.rar I've installed the 2004 version 3.41 If I download the files as above, how do I update my WinCaps? .

43Pajero - Wow, you sound like a wealth of knowledge, you got any more info on the swap, ever done a 3.5v6 to 3.2Did swap? The three brothers did Di-D (no pun) transplants: 1. My Gen1 had a Chevy 4.3 v-6 and Borg Warner 5-spd 2. My younger brother's Gen1 had a 2.5 with auto-box in 3. The eldest bro...

The engine block for the 2.8 4m40 and the 3.2 Di-D 4m41 are virtually identical. All existing peripherals will therefore bolt on. The head, turbo and injector pump are totally different, though. Mechanically it is thus a bolt-on exercise. The radiator for the 4m40 is fine as well. The real work is i...

To much!
It was part of a total rebuild:
*Drive train
*re-spray
*re-upholster

Electronics and electrics were the hardest.[/list][/list]

Which ARB locker will fit my 1989 2.5Td (no intercooler).

It is a Japanese import with rear disk brakes.


Rear
RD05?
RD25?

Front
RD110?

I am going to lecture you. If you can't change both oil and filter, rather change the filter every time and the oil every second time. The 4m40 and 4m41 engines have a oil cooler in the engine block, but it should drain (albeit slowly) if the filter is removed. Some models have a supplementary oil c...

My little 2.5 TD puts out 60kw at all four wheels, and 591nm [/u] (printed on dyno test). That's more torque than a 500hp chev or ford V8! I put a 2.5" exhaust on, upgraded the fuel pump and now run 14psi at the turbo. Believe it or not, these upgrades get me 50km per tank further. I haven't d...

Wade,

That's real bad news.
Glad you are OK.

I hate to see any 4x4 being scrapped, especially a Gen1.

Over the top!

Where do I get those wheel arch extensions?

Unqualified NO!


I think maybe you refer to the same shocks?

Wow! I wish my Gramps left me something like that! The "faults" you list all seem minor. Clean around the transfer case to identify the position of that leak. If you can't wield spanners (which I suspect from your post), I would advise you to take it to a non-franchised workshop with a goo...

Another nice one from the States:

I have 33" on a LWB with 2" body lift. Suspension is not raised.

Rim are std 0-offset 7" Mitsu.

No rubbing except from bumper ends, which needed ±1" trimming.

Plenty of info on the 4x4wire.com Mitsubishi site. eg http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=315141&page=2&view=collapsed&s... http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=603883&page=1&view=collapsed&s... http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...

Typical for all Mitsus

Sounds like the ECU put the Paj in "limp" mode.
I'm not 100% sure how you reset that mode.

Although I would have preferred 15x8 rims, I fitted 33x12.5x15 tyres to my standard 15x7 Mitsu rims:

My 1989 LWB Exceed has rear leafs and disk brakes.

Gen1 & Gen2 are very similar.

stoo2, I'm amazed that you stuck to the vehicle as long as you did! :? 170k is not too bad for a "piss-weak" box! IFS is IFS is IFS! If you don't want it, don't buy it. I have never heard of a 4m40 "eating" glow plugs. There must be something wrong with your engine, if they don't...
