Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have this model, with a 5 speed box in it, i was wondering if they came out that way, or if its been put in by a previous owner........cos fark its slow lol.

5 speeds are standard for them

and is is only a 2.4L deisel not a 350

i know its only a 2.4, but its still slower than my mates 2.2 diesel hilux with a 4 speed box, and another mates 2.5 diesel triton

what tyres are you running on it?

245/70/16's

I make that about a 29.5" tyre. So basically standard size, just wider.

By slow do you meen top speed, or acceleration, or both?

both

Get your pump checked mate, might be worth advancing it a little.

Check your air, and fuel filters, if the've not been done in a while.
Also drop in some injector cleaner, moreys/ chemtec etc etc etc, and see how it goes.
Have the tappets been adjusted in the last 50k??
That can have quite a difference if there out of spec.
Does it have an air leak in the fuel system, that can knock hell out of its performance, and fuel economy.

Once u hav checkd all the above things, find yourself some early model 4.8 centres. Thats y your mates 2.2 goes better, hes got 4.8s. And these days u can pick up ct20kits for round 700$.
Go the old lux.

if u want power dump the 4cyl d and go petrol v6.! or v8 , but youll have to go easy on the box n clutch /revs. its just power to weight mate, simple equation.
ive bin runnin 2.4 22r petrol motor which has a host of bolt on hotties but its a bloody oily engine leak wise and carbies suck!but i blow away lots of competition aceleration wise,

mate do you mean the ratios i ran the tires and motor but with a turbo they are slow just the way they are but its great for off road and the motor without a turbo will be a slug!
