Cloughy - any idea's on what your plans are in regards to changing spring and shock rates?

otherwise nice job!!

Simon

Springs are 240lbs rear and 190 lbs front at 18" and 19" free length shocks are currently Koni but will be replaced with rancho's when i make some extra long shock towers. Here's more pics, it's getting whiter

looks nice.

The spring rates sound good for a full boddied rig, be interesting to see the flex shots. With abit of weight on the rear tray it will prob be sweet

Keep it up dood

Tray is pretty heavy, 2mm floor and there's a fair bit of 100x75 and 75x50 box hiding under there

Rebuilt LT95 and C10, Auto has an extra clutch pack, re-machined planetry gearset, Stage 2 shift and standard stall of about 1800rpm.

isn't that stall a bit high, wouldn't something around 1000 rpm be better?

But then it becomes laggy to take off, depends on personal preference

The Koni's will go in my hack and there to short as it is, i also want to have adjustable shocks hence the rancho's

Slight change of plans, 8.8:1 compression and one of these will help move it along a little less slowly

Shame to go to all that trouble and not engineer it, so it will be doing circles in the backyard or going on a trailer ?

Aftermarket engine management and a supercharger are a little bit hard to get approved

Post by **Loanrangie** » Tue May 02, 2006 4:21 pm

I would be getting the ute conversion approved then adding the blower.

Post by **shakes** » Tue May 02, 2006 5:49 pm

i'm in the process of getting mine engineered atm
the only thing he picked me up on was how i mounted the tray, and that was essentially it bar going and getting emmissions and whatnot done

$132ph not cheap!! but I've done all the running around for him to find out exactly what year brakes/seats/engine etc have come off.
being mine is 82 (86 is the cut off i think) there is basically no ADR's in terms of aftermarket computer and blower...

$600 and it should be all legit with LRA bodylift n springs, 35's (when i can afford maxi's) ute chop and p76 powered... $600 better off if i maim some school kids and my insurance covers my ass!

Post by **cloughy** » Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:29 pm

Finally got the motor in and running

, hopefully have it driving by the weekend

Post by **cloughy** » Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:55 pm

Light run on the dyno and 158hp at the wheels, needs a couple of klm's on it for the final tune, but pulls quite well, still wants a blower but

Post by **cloughy** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 5:07 pm

Nobody cares

but it was back on the dyno again for another tune, 183bhp and its a crapload smoother to drive, got to get another trip in before the navnite but

but not bad considering a stock 3.5 on the same dyno is 60bhp

Outer Limits 4x4 Board
