Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi guys just got a question for you all that i need some help with i have an mq shorty with an l28 4 speed and a mate has offered me a five speed out of an mq shorty with an sd33 diesel just wondering if the box will bolt up to the motor been given silly information like just have to change the bell...

yes i have the mq wagon off ebay that had the rb30 in it and it does sit on a bad lean but it does not affect the running of it am about to pull it out and fit it to my mq shorty will let you all know how it goes

Are they all the same?
The reason I ask is I can get a radiator for a 4.2td GU but have a 2.8td GU
So I need to know, will it fit and will it work?

*there's nothing in the bible

Thank you very much Spongerx & KIWIBacon, Thats awesome info, Cheers!!

Patroler, yeah thats pretty much it, he tells me that less bends etc, means the air is rammed into the turbo so makes more power. (whilst I realise that more air, less bends does mean more power, I also think that the "ram" affect is b/s) I said that if the induction system (snorkel or not...

yeah okay, so were agreed that a pressurized airbox (turbo inlet) might produce early spool, quicker spool up , as the turbo might not have to work as hard. But it will still only produce the same power. I understand that the speeds needed for the snorkel to achieve positive airbox pressure are NEVE...

But if the turbo is set at 10 psi, How does it move 11psi ????

It's about moving a volume of air in the most effective, effiect way to produce more power.

Thanks captin obvious,
perhaps the question should have been, Does a turbo produce more power under a pressurized inlet?

Thank you

hahaha, I work on mine myself, And yes he is a Truck mechanic.... Sad hay?

Thanks for input guy's, The convosation started because the mechanic at work had the chance to get a factory nissan snorkel for cheap, Instead he is opting for another brand that's $120 or so more, Simply because he thinks it flows better, therefore has more air going through it, therefore makes mor...

I realise this, But to keep things simple I am just refering to at the turbo inlet,
Would there be any overall (not boosting sooner) power increases if the air was pressure feed through a snorkel, rather then drawn through from atmospheric pressure?

I'm thinking that if the turbo is drawing air from atmospheric pressure it'll take a little longer and work harder to move the same volume of air as a turbo that has a volume of air pressure feed to it. Does this sound reasonable or correct? (to a degree) But even if that is the case, it will only b...

had a discussion with a mechanic at work, he seems to think that just by adding a larger snorkel you get more power? Scenario; 4.2 factory turbo diesel, non-intercooled with a 3.5" stainless snorkel, If you were to put a 4" or 5" snorkel onto it would it make more power A) driving or ...

Is there a manuel g/baox that the cruiser t/case can be adapted to?

I agree, V8patrol definatly knows his shit, and I have asked him for info many a time before, But as far as I can find, using search :roll: and other various sources the only difference I can find is input shaft sizes, apart from p40 boxes, somehow they were different? flame suit on, correct me if I...

This is what I thought.... But apartently there is a gear set available. Someone called "rick" off this forum had a set cut for around $1400 I'm led to belive. I haven't had any confirmation of this but seems a little cheap for a one-off. A t/case was advertised recently here. The nissan 5...

should be fine, an 1" won't damage shocks

Yes there are after market kits avail, that run off your alt. but if you have a mq diesel it is probably 24vlt. marine sights are the best avail. for tacho in 24vlt.

hardy spicer with an abn if you can, I did it through a mates w/shop acc and just jave him cash, was around $70-$90 from memory for a 890mm long shaft with a double cardinal joint, I supplied parts to build it.

I rolled my GU about 2-3 months ago and have been looking for a cheap cab since, the cheapest bare cab I could find was $1500 with inner left hand gaurd damage, that was to dear for me at the time, next best was $2500 with slight front end damage, Where can I get one for $500!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't propane, lpg or nitrous injection all forms of chemical supercharging? and if that's so then it's not a N/A diesel which sort of defeats the purpose of spending all that time and money for a thirsty power plant that could make more from a turbo or supercharger? You ...

I'm no expert but from my limited experience high performance motors require high maintance, why would you want to spend so much and then continue to spend big$$ maintaining something that "would be wasted by a stoker with a $1200 turbo"?

SWAG.

My mate swears by a tent though... he has two boys 3 and 5

$480 is reasonable for all 6 injectors to be rebuilt, and 1400-$1500 is alright for a turbo and pump set-up, You don't need the pump but it would save some hassels.

You can get a whole turbo set-up (2nd hand) for less then $500
manifolds, pipe's, turbo, oil lines and if you lucky a zorst.

EXTREMLY DODGY :shock: . do not spray fuel through a spray bottle into your maf/throttle body. It is you fuel pump, Lift the carpet in the rear (boot) and on the top of the wheel well there it is, You have to undo a bandclamp, then unscrew the black plastic. Clamp off the fuel lines though or you'll...

thanks for the advice everyone

thank you, I wasn't tooo worried about extra fuel usage as it's only a 2.8, I was however curious about other mentioned items. I have found however that they run of a coolant temp sensor, so the only inssue's I can think of is exhaust smoke increase, pyro temp increase and fuel usage, but if it's on...

Thanks for the "guess"
I didn't say 20hp, I "stated" 20%, And uping the sensor reading wasn't the issue, it was exhaust temps etc.
