Outer Limits 4x4 Board

After reading the nissan ection, these guys are running 15 to 20psi on relatively stock motors and gaining shit loads of power. i can't stop but to think, screw a v8, bomb the diesel. i'm thinking port and polish, better valve springs, balanced crank, turbo pistons, thicker head gasket, better beari...

This is a serious question. i want more power and will not go to petrol. I can get a 1hdt for about 3-4 grand. i understand they have roughly 120kw standard, with a fmic, around 18psi and 3 inch should be looking around 160kw... ;) Now how do i go with the electrics, do i need bigger fuel lines. a k...

Yeah it started to die off around 3700, but was only really doing anything up to around 3200. so the rest is just heated up crap really.... needs a front mount. lol So 3'' all the way you reckon or is that too much. and how much should i be paying for it ya reckon? (with just one turbo muffla in the...

See this is the thing,

It is completely stock for the first 2-3 meters. (luck to be 2 inch) then it still only goes to 2.5 inch, doesn't sound like a mack or nothin

Ya reckon a 3 inch would make a bit of diff ?

G'Day all Just wondering if i should be getting worried or not. I only just got it onto the road but never used to be able to drive it much. only little drive around the block and sh*t. Now hat i have done a bit of drivin it holds 11psi all the way to about 3700 rpm before it starts to drop off. Bef...

G'Day mate I'm a hilux man but do know a little about bruisers. From what i can gather the 1HD FT or 1HD FT-E motor are the way to go. they are factory turboed and go pretty good apparently. or you can go the standard 1HZ non turbo and get an aftermarket kit, they go pretty good too. you can even go...

i though the R151F were supposed to be one of the strongest. 2nd in line was the R150 and then lastly the G52

or have i got it wrong??

Yeah i had my injector fully rebuilt and wound the fuel up 10%, i advanced the injector pump about 1.5mm (clockwise) and got the injectors rebuilt and wound up. The ct20 off my 2LT-E runs 11psi at its absolute lowest boost setting - with a boost - T ( i think the turbo was high flowed ) I used the 2...

You got a hard decision to make mate. i've had a gq ute, with a 5l slightly worked. even with an aluminium tray, the power was ok but not that great. but the fuel was unreal, the stock fuel tank, i think about 65L, got me about 350 km..... but that was with 35's too. i guess if you go the 5L you'll ...

So do you think a ct26 would come on earlier, with a standard exhaust manifold.

I have heard they come on sooner.. around 1200rpm, and noticeably drop in boost after 3300rpm, which sounds too good to be true....

So out of all this do we know which turbo suits 2.8 best. i have one stock as a rock off a 2LT-E and goes ok. but from what i can gather they aren't efficient over say 13psi??? So if i front mount intercool my lux, get a ct26, i should be able to pump out around 14-15psi happily ya? Or will the boos...

sorry i was thinkin of surfs, they had 4 cyl and v6.

I worked out the code on my vin, turns out surfs have 4.88 ratio (well mine does anyway..2LT-E) So for easy 4.88 ratios in a lux housing, you could swap them.... yes or are they different. i want a coil front and got a clean hilux front ready to be coiled, just wanna know if a surf LSD rear diff, wo...

depends what motor the 95 has in it. if its v6 no, if 4 cyl yes. what is your trans/axle code on both vin plates? the one on the firewall...

this will tell if your ratios are the same. if they diff tell me and i'll tell you what your ratios are.

What about the clutch? is it all the same?

Because the gq diff is all ready to go. and 79 series diff is hard to come buy and if you do get one they won't be as cheap as a gq. $500 each is not bad at all. Just one other prob, anyone know how or where i can get my guards flared. they look mad when done prop, could you just drop them into a fi...

I know everyones done it to surfs. But what about the old ln106. Whats the cost for front cut.
Gearbox
Fuel
Wiring
Clutch
Radiator
Anyone done it or know of any one for drive in drive out deals....

Just want more power...... like everyone!!!

G'day all. Just wanted to know as i want to put gq front axle in (for now) and not sure if the ratio's are the same. i know the poos are 3.9

How did you jack it up 3 inches? Wouldn't the top arms pretty much be resting on the rubber stops, limiting your negative travel?

Has anyone got a set of bj spacers i could buy?

G'Day all spanner monkeys

Heres the thing... i have 35's at home ready for use. until i put the gq diffs in, i wanna give em a slosh around. It currently has a 2inch body lift. and i've wound the torsion bars up about 40mm. Is this enough or do i need to chop guards aswell (doesn't bother me)

Cheers

I ave 2LT-E head as a spare. does anyone know if it is the same as the stock 3L head?

Just so we know, wat is the standard hilux diff ratio... 3.88?

Just my 2 cents. I have heard from 2 dealers and heaps of mates out the mines that No.7 pot either seizes up or drops it straight out the side of the block. no lie guys. 55 grand is a lot of money for that little v8 cruiser badge . spend 35 on the older, more proven 4.2TD i say. much cheaper and the...

so the ct26 and where from (near townsville). Are the oil lines and water lines the same as ct20? i understand a new exhaust manifold will have to get made up. What safe boost should i run if its intercooled.. 12-15psi? when does the turbo start to spool up.., and does it die off around 4000 rpm? Yo...

Just wanted to see if i can fit new doors to the lux to suit the tacoma's from the us. you can buy flared guards and stuff but they only look good on 98-04 mod cabs. i have a 93 extra cab hence my dilema. Check it out - http://www.glassworksunlimited.com/19to20totafr2.html and this one - http://us.s...

Yeah they start to drop off around 300rpm. The best turbo i hav seen is a mitsubishi TD04. Its off the mitsubishi evo cars. they come on about 1100rpm (opposed to 1800rpm - ct20) and they drop off around 3400rpm. Friend had one for years and it outdoes all the new hiluxs and bt50's and sh#t. Pick th...

Up in townsville we got GU patrols for around 15k
some 2.8/3.0 and some 4.2 turbo diesel.
Just food for thought...

G"day all. Was thinking of gettin the GQ diffs ($1000 for both) in the xtra cab surf... i wanted to do the front first and leave the back till a little later, i'm just not sure if the ratios are the same. i have a std rear diff and g/box... Penny for your thoughts lads, and you must admit... it...

G'day all Just wondering. i read somewhere that a guy ditched his 3L for a 5L, the ct20 turbo bolted straight up. apparently the 5L cam is the same as the 3L. i know the power drop off (also max boost) on a 3L is about 3000rpm, 5L is about 3450 rpm (also max boost). he was gettin around 90kw at the ...
