Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i got a 04/95 td42 and want to know if i have the heavy grade pistions or the lighter ones before i turbo it. ive head post 95 but not 100% sure. If no one can give me a definate answer anyway to find out without pulling it down ?

cheers guys

Upto 1992 were lighter
> 93 they changed.

if its been rebuilt, then not much way to tell apart from pulling down.

100's of turbo 88-97 GQ's out there without issue..

ah right so after 93 they went the light ones

not rebuilt 235000 on it so should be right. wanted to check better to run milder psi in that case?

correct, from late 92 they went with lighter pistons except on factory turbo models which retained the heavier piston etc.

August 1993 when they changed rods / pistons and oil squirters.

August 1995 were external changes like brake vac off alternator etc.

ok sweet thanks for the help

not going to be ic at the start, probly going the turbo glide kit. I see they come with a 2.5 exhust. is this alright if not runnin high boost or it worth lookin into the 3" exhust instead? anything else im forgetting injectors ?

Not sure if thats a question or statement but Safari's came into NZ with factory turbo's from at least 91/92 onwards that I know of.
