Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Greetings all, can anyone recommend an after market turbo setup for 6.5 chev...its in a GU, and i'm in Perth!

Cheers

My brother in law has a 4 cylinder courier which he calls the time machine, reckons it's so slow that when you drive you actually go back in time

Greetings, got a 2004 series4 GU with a N/A 6.5 chev in it and am thinking of sticking it on gas aswell. Was wondering if anyone has this combo and what their feedback is. Currently getting 13l/100k's around town.
Cheers

Greetings Yawll, currently have a 95 GQ efi4.2 dual fuel Manual, and am looking at a 98 GU 4.5 TI Auto. I know the manaul boxes are bullet proof but dont know much about the autos. Myquestion is are the Autos as robust as the manuals?
Cheers

Can you get after market hinges for the wagon doors of a GU so they open like a GQ?

Thanks, what sort of mileage are you getting with the 3.5's and what size tyres? Any over heating issues and I assume you have a body lift for the turbo??

thanks for the reply, current motor is EFI4.2 and manual box. Did you drive the turbo or NA and was it a GQ? Was it noisey?
Brunswick are about 90mins down the road for me so i'll to make time to pop down for a squizzy.
Cheers

Righto boys and girls, am seriously looking at N/A 6.5 chev diesel for my dual fual GQ and am looking for first hand experience, pros and cons and mileage etc. Will be getting Brunswick to do it and they do radiator clutch and HS diffs etc.
Cheers

Got talked out of a snorkel by my mechanic as it can mess with the gas settings, leans out at high speed and can stall when you pop the clutch in for something.

I run 2 n70ZZs on my duel fuel EFI. Its a bit tight but can be done. Get rid of the air filter and run a good pod filter right behind the head light relocate the coil slightly backwards and use the Diesel duel batt tray that goes around the overflow bottle ( i made my own ). My gas mixer is in the ...

Ta, easy to get to?

Greetings all, have a prob with my 95 GQ manual4.2. When the gearbox gets hot after towing for a bit or a long run I get a strong gear oil smell come in the car if I put the window down while driving. I have no leaks on the box or transfer but do have the usual rear axle weep. Is it possible for the ...

Looking at a 98tb45e manual (upgrading from the GQ) and was wondering which years had the dicky 5th gear. I thought it was 2000 and 2001, can anyone confirm this please.
Cheers

Do the Vortec engines meet emmisions standards for EFI patrols, was looking at at a gen3 but might be swayed

Cool, would be interested in your build and how it all goes. What, exactly are you putting into what? I've been looking through here and some guys say its easy, others a nightmare. I'm thinking of dropping my manual and sticking a holden auto in with it....early stages yet

Can anyone tell me if these motors in an EFI4.2 are any more economical or will it be even worse. Currently running duel fuel and 32"s so nothing extreme, just want more grunt and noise without compromising range.

A mate of mine is the Spare Parts Manager at a large Nissan Dealership and said he couldn't recommend to any friends buying a 3.0 of any vintage. Too hit and miss. Bare in mind he makes his living selling replacement engines, turbos, MAFs etc

Had two joined together (yes correctly) last weekend to get me out of a good bog in Harvey. My seriously used one snapped stoving in the tailgate of my mates new 100 cruiser and the other end putting a good dent in the bonnet of my GQ before smashing in my windscreen. Didn't know that could happen ...

Sorry to Hi jack, what sort of mileage are you guys getting with the Holden 5.0

I Know this has come up before but I was prompted to ask again when my mate flew past me with his chipped BA turbo. Is anyone doing this conversion yet. I what more power and less fuel use, like we all do and am weighing up all options including a new petrol Prado (god forbid) currently running duel ...

Anyone heard any rumours of a new petrol motor for Prado, must be due soon....

C'mon guys, someone must know?

Righto, who'se dunnit?. I know there isn't a huge gain and I'm not after one, just looking at replacing my high k 4.2 with something a bit newer and picking up a few ponies at the same time. What would be involved? If I did this and then unichipped it (dual map for Gas) then I should be close to ...

Greetings all , does anyone know the max size (depth) of speaker that will fit behind the grills in the barn doors. My custom draw setup dictates that the speakers must be behind the grill as the door shuts hard up against them.
Cheers

Could someone give me a better idea of prices for a brunswick conversion to 6.5 chev from 4.2efi/gas manual. Something better than between 12k and 20k

Greetings all, I was wondering if someone who has done an EFI 5.0 V8 conversion could please post their fuel figures v's petrol 4.2efi.
Cheers

Thats good news, i'll stop waiting for it to break. What about the other bits, gearbox is a bit whiny when its cold. What are the motors good for?
Cheers
